Universal Opinion in Washing

Bring the Crisis.
Congress Becoming Very I'm
patient and Will Grant No
Further Delay.
MESSAGE BEING PREPARED
Expected It Will Ee Completed
and SuE En7itted Not Later

Much Divergence Of Opinion
as to What the President
Will Suggest.

WAsH1NGToE, April 5.-The opin-
ion, almost universally held in Wash.
ington by leading public men and dip.
lomats, is that the crisis will reach its
climax this week and that the question
of war or peace will be determined
within the next seven days. Senators
and representatives met and conferred
all day about the gravity of the situa-
tion, and at the White House the presi-
dent conferred with sew eral members
IF his cabinet and other confidential
advisers regarding the m essage which
he is preparing to send to congress.
At the state, war and navy building
lctive work was going on and alto
gether it has been day Of suppressed
feeling. No absolute day has been
yet announced when the message is to
be sent to congress, probably
Wednesday or Perhaps Thursday.
In addition to the physical work of
preparing the comprehensive document
upon which the president expect to
rest Americas case with the world
there are other reasons why those in
charge of the war preparations will
welcome every hours delay. War
material which we have ordered abroad
is not yet shipped and the factories in
this country which are at work day
and night making projectiles are anx-
ious for delay.
There is still divergence of opinion as
to what the president will recommend
in his message; indeed there seems to
be still a question as to whether the
president will make any specific rec
concentrations Some of his most in
innate friends, however, assert en-
phatically his recommendations
Will Be Specific and Vigorous
and such that his party and the coun-
try could willingly follow when he
points the way. One of these said that
the president, in his strong desire for
peace and earnest hope that war might
possibly be avoided, was yielding some
what to the sentiment Of the leaders Of
his party and the country. He has not
given up hope yet that hostilities may
be averted. There are those who be-
lieve the president has lot yet made up
his mind to the exact course he will
pursue and there seems to be a ques-
tion as to whether the consular reports
and the diplomatic correspondence is
to be transmitted with the message.

CONGRESS is IMPATIENT,

Radical Republicans Will Bolt If Further
Delay Is Asked.
WASHINGTON. April 5.-The sus-
pense caused by the delay in the pre-.
paration Of the message is very trying
upon members of both houses and the
most universally discussed question on
in Washington is whether congress can
be restrained until the message is
transmitted. All realize the difficult
and arduous task of preparing our
case for the world inspection and the
care which must be exercised, and
there seems to be no disposition to sun
duly" hasten the president The
party leaders are extremely anxious to
avoid breach with the executive such
as would occur if congress were to take
the initiative. After a careful canvass
of the situation they believe the radical
Republicans can be held in line few
days longer,
%st Until Wednesday at Least.
After that, what might happen if the
president asks for delay, is problemat-
ical. Mr.. .Bromwell (O.), for instance,
who says he hopes he will not be
obliged to part com pany with the pres
ident, says he will vote with the Dem
ocrats if necessary to overrule the
speaker after Wednesday. Mr.. Cooper
(Wis. has made similar statement
The Republicans Of the house commit
tee on foreign affairs have held in
formal meetings and have practically
agreed to report q resolution of a tenor
similar to that agreed upon by the for.
eign relations committee of the senate.
The house resolutions will probably
follow the language of those Of the
senate regarding the blowing up Of

SAN FRANCISCO, June 6.-The United
States sloop.of. war Mohican came down
from the Mare Island navyyard Sunday
and, after brief delay, sailed for Homo
lulu. 1t is understood that she will re-
main on duty at that port, replacing the
Bennington, ordered to join Admiral
Dewey's feet at Manila. The coast de-
fense vessel Monterey and the big col
lier Brutus, which is to tow her from
the Hawaiian islands to the Philippines,
were to have gone with the Mohican,
but shortly before the time set for their
departure the chief engineer on the
Monterey discovered her evaporator was
not in good working condition.
An order for new tubes, which it was
thought necessary to insert, was imme-
diately sent to the Union Iron works.
At first it was believed the taking out
of the defective tubes and the insertion
of new ones would require about 80
hours, but this work has been so expe-
dited that it may be completed by this
afternoon. In this event, which now
seems probable, the Monterey and
Brutus will sail this evening. The de-
feet in the Monterey's condensing
machinery was not serious, but is was
not deemed advisable to start on 50 long
cruise without everything about the
ship being i'll perfect order,
WASHINGTON, June G.-The war de-
partment Saturday received word from
Major General Merritt, commanding
the department of the Pacific, indicat-
ing the possibility of the departure of

CAPTAIN GRIDLEY DEAD.
One of Dewey's Officers Expired-He Was
on the Way Home, Owing
to Illness,

WASHINGTON, June G.-The navy de.
partment has received a cablegram an
nouncing the death at Kobe, Japan,
Saturday, Of Captain Charles V. Grid
ley Of the cruiser Olympia, Admiral
Dewey's flagship.
The announcement of his death was
received by the navy department late
Sunday afternoon, in cablegram from
Paymaster Gait of the navy, dated at
Kobe, Japan, June !, and directed to
Secretary Long. The dispatch con.
talned this simple statement: O.
captain Gridley died today. Re.
mains accompany me ON Coptic."
Captain Vernon Gridley is the first
American officer Of great prominence
whose death is direct result of the ex.
isting war with Spain. AS the com.
mander of Admiral Dewey's splendid
flagship and one of the admirals chief
advisers Captain Gridley achieved dis
tinction at the battle OF Manila bay and
added to his previous laurels by win
ming high praise from his superiors in
the service for distinguished gallantry
and ability. He fought his ship from
the coming tower, while Admiral
Dewey directed the movements of his
squadron from the bridge of the vessel.
1t was uot known for several weeks
after the engagement that Captain
Gridley had suffered from it, and even
now the precise nature Of his trouble is
not disclosed.
Upon the arrival of the Zefiro at
Hongkong on May 30 the navy depart.
ment was notified that Captain Gridley
had been condemned by board of med
ina1 euryay and puoldadji l,o,s,o
Subsequent advices received by the de.
partment indicated that Captain Grid
ley was suffering from the effects of q
rupture, supposed to have been received
during the battle at Manila, but no de.
tails were given 1t was not supposed
that his illness was very serious, as the
department was informed that the cap
tain, in company with Paymaster Gait,
would leave for home as soon as pos.
sible.
On May 2S they left Hongkong on the
steamer Coptic, one of the vessels Of
the Occidental and Oriental steamship
line. 1t would appear that Captain
Gridley died about the time the ship
reached Kobe. 1t is quite eviI. MT now
that he considered his case serious, as
he did not communicate, so far as is
known, with any member of his family
after the battle of Manila.
The distinguished bravery and ability
of Captain Gridley were recognized by
the president and, had he lived, promo
ton, doubtless, would have been his
substantial reward.
Captain Gridley leaves a wife and
three children-two daughters and a
son-who are now residing with Mrs.
Gridley's father, Judge Vincent, at

is JOHN SHERMAN soURED9

Mr.. Sherman since retiring from office
opposes colonial possessions. Before
becoming Secretary Of State he made q
strong argument against annexing
outlying territory; but, as Secretary OF
State he signed the Hawaiian annexa'
ton treaty. Since his retirement he
said in an interview:
"If / we're in public life | should op
pose to the fullest extent of my ability
the retention of any of the Spanish pos
sessions. To my mind there is no rea'
son why we should annex either Cuba
the Philippines or Hawaii. They would

and we would have under our care {

There is no reason why we should es

A LITTLE LESSON FROM HISTORY.

Fifty one years ago the City of
Mexico was about as large as Havana is
now. 1t was, relatively to the times,
about as strongly fortified. 1t was de-
Tended by an army about as large as
Blanco's, better of relatively in the
matter of arms and supplies and fully as
well disciplined, as we'll ofiicered and as
respectable in the matter of courage.
Fifty-one years ago Gen. Scott be-
sieged, stormed, captured and occupied
the City of Mexico with an army of 5000
men available for duty. And he held
it for about nine months-that is. until
peace was arranged.
And the City of Mexico was far in
land, difficult OF access, reached only by
slow mountain roads, over which troops
toiled painfully on foot from the sea.
coast. And it was not at the mercy of
the guns of powerful feet of warships.
Yet Gen Scott did the business not
with 100000 men but with 5000 I'm.
