At all the stations along the route, at
which the special stopped, ovations were
rendered. At Savannah. more than 5000
people were at the station 20 see General
Lee when the train came In. The crowd
was enthusiastic, and short speech was
made by the General, who was frequently
applauded.

structiOns.
POWER NOT WITH MKINLEY.
At the other embassies and legations the
message aroused the greatest interest,
but il cannot be said that it was received
with satisfaction.
In other high diplomatic quarters some
question was expressed as to that por-
ton of the Presidents message i'm which
he speaks In the name of civilization OF
the duty of stopping the war in Cuba, and
the intimation was made that the great
Powers Of Europe. so far as they repre-
scented civilization, did not support this
view expressed by the President
There has been no further general con-
ference between the ambassadors and
ministers OF the Powers. nor is there any
present indication Of further action from
that quarter.
WOODFORD'S MOVEMENTS.
No new diplomatic phases of the ques-
tion developed to-day at the State De-
partment. Secretary Sherman said he
would not be surprised if the Madrid
cabled report that Mr.. Woodford was
same time. the State Department was
without advices that this step actually
had been taken.
DEMONSTRATION AWAITING LEE.
General Lee is en- route here, and it is
said that his arrival will be the signal
for a notable demonstration.
The War and Navy departments con-
tinued their active preparations to-day.
While eventualities are being prepared
for. the sentiment i'm army and navy
circles is that war is not so imminent as
il seemed to be few days ago.
II can be stated on authority that no
consideration has yet been given to the
withdrawal of the United States fleet at
Key West. as the administration hold
that the situation has undergone no
change which makes this withdrawal ne
cessary or advisable.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE future
of the relations of the United States with
Spain and Cuba now rests with Con-
eress the representative body oil the
American people. What course the elect
ed men composing it will pursue cannot
be foretold tonight.
The foreign committees OF both houses
NOW have the subject in their control
and after due deliberation will report 10
their respective branches what they con-
cider should be the attitude of the United
states on the grave question presented.
Early action by the committees Is eX-
nected. but exactly when it may be look
cd for is not now determinable.
The full responsibility of the subject
was placed upon Congress when Presi-
dent Mckinley to-day transmitted TO II
q carefully prepared and anxiously-await-
ga message relating to our negotiations
with Spain as To its warfare In Cuba,
and drawing therefrom his personal con-
illusions and recommendations. No mes
sage in recent years, not even tnat oi
President Cleveland on Venezuela, nor
that of President Harrison on Chile mas
caused such widespread and intense In
terest. That II did not create profound
enthusiasm may have been due to the
fact that it's main features had been ac-
curately forecasted in the Associated
press dispatches or to disappointment
among those who wanted Cuban inde-
nenaence and immediate reprisal upon
spain for the destruction OF the Maine

1t is not within the province of this
message to narrate the history of the
extraordinary war that followed the
Spanish declaration of April q, but a
brief recital of its more salient features
is appropriate. The first encounter of the
war in point of date took place April
II, when a detachment of the blockading
squadron made a reconnaissance in force
at Matanzas, shelled the harbor fortifica-
lions and demolished several new works
in construction.
