Washington. March 27.A-The largest
crowd which has attended session OF
congress in years is expected at the capitol
tomorrow when the official report OF the
board OF inquiry on the Maine disaster
VIII be given to the country. The members
OF the house await the report with the
same feverish anxiety the public manifests
and there are not likely to be dozen va
cant seats OH the floor. The scene when
the report is read probably will be intense
ly dramatic, but those who go to the capt.
toll tomorrow expecting TO see its prescnta-
tion followed with q wild furore of ora
tory probably will be sorely disappointed.
The report and accompanying message will
be brief and after being read Will be
referred to the committee on foreign affairs
without debate. 1t is the wish OF the presi-
dent, as expressed TO leaders of both par
ties. that this course be followed and the
programme has been acQuiesced in by ALL
irrespective of party. Once in committee
the findings Of the board will remain there
until report is made by the committee.
which will certainly not be until SPANS
TO the administration.
Meantime the postporement of the Maine
question is likely 10 throw the Maine disas
ter which the administration intends to
deal with as a separate ami distinct in
cident, into the background as subject
for future consider alton, unless Spain
should take position, not now anticipated.
which would compel immediate action.
On Tuesday there viii probably be trans
mtted message asking for an dppropTla-
ton TO relieve the starvation in Cuba.
The appropriation probably will be voted
with as much uuanimity as was the $780,.
0OO,o00 for the National defense, but the
debate may bring out some criticism of the
administrations policy bv these who be-
lieve radical and aggressive intervention
should be taken at once. The administra-
tion is assured. however. of a strong ma
tority for the policy it has SO far mapped
out to the republican and democratic
leaders.

Havana, via Key West March 27.--Last
night it was persistently stated on alleged
good authority that the palace officials here
had received a cipher message from Madrid
which, in effect said Prepare for war :"
1t is not likely anything so alarming or
peremptory was received, but it is pretty
certain that in,imation was given that the
time for evasion or delay on the part of

There can be no question that the policy
of the United States in making the de-
struction of the Maine merely side issue
and corollary of the graver question of
the continuance of inbumaniiy and prop
erty destruction on the island is dis
agreeable surprise to many high in office in
Cuba They had concluded that the dis

power would take part. Many of the best
informed spaniards are free to say that

Havana March Ella Union Consttu-
tional editorially crticises the PROPOSE
ton that the United States has rigit to
afford relief to Cuba. II denies this. 1t
says America has still less right to bring
the supplies in war vessels, adding that
the uniforms OF American sailors and ma
rines are poor disguise for alleged sisters
OF charity. and it may be that these nurses
come TO feed the sick on dangerous food
like shells and bullets.

not believe that the Americans VIII go 10

respondent OF the STANDARD. General
Woodsord had. BY appointment. another
official interview with Senior Gullou in
which he received the official reply OF the
Spanish government TO the American mem.
orandum OF March 20.
The Spanish reply, couched In firm Ian
guage, says that the Spanish government
can not agree With the constructors the
American government have drawn from in-
accurate information that docs not tally
with the reccntactivity and progress of the
military operations in Cuba and the Visible
popularity and progress OF the new colonial
Institutions, which have been ioyally ac-
cepted and are supported bv the old adj
yersarios of home rule in the colony.

Gates the scnding of OEittal re-
lief and war vessels to Cuba us

sions she has made to preserve
peaceful relations md to com
cilintc the United states. the last
proof being her Willingness to

In conclusion the Spanish reply shows
that the government believes it has reach
ed the extreme limit of concessions COM
patible with the honor and dignity OF Spain
and will not admit entertainments on her
rights OF sovereignty in the West. Tie
matter now rests with the president and
both governments evidently consider the
