tomorrow send a message to Congress
suggesting that "A declaration of war be
nassed. The message was In course OF
preparation at the State Department this
evening.
This action was FASTENED by the seizure
Of the Spanish merchantmen off the
Florida coast and the desire to prevent
any possible complication. The right of
seizure of the Buena Ventura, however,
is not questioned by the administration,
since Spain herself accepted our ultl-
matum as a declaration Of war.
