to the several foreign offices Of Europe,
and that it will serve in shaping the action
there. At the same time the leading for
eign diplomats express themselves as fully
conscious Of the extreme delicacy, and
possible harmfulness. which may attend
any further action by the joint powers Of
Europe. They say that while the case was
in the hands of the President such action
was consistent. but that now that the
case is in the hands Of Congress 1t is diff
cult for any representation to be made, or
to be given effect, in Congress
1t Is appreciated also by the leading
men Of the diplomatic corps that Congress
is extremely sensitive against foreign in
fiuences, and that any step by the powers
at this time might impel Congress to re-
tremes instead of serving as a check.
These are the difficulties receiving serious
consideration, both here and abroad, and
they are of such a character that the ac-
ton of the powers cannot be foreshadowed
Change In Ensland'x Position
1t has become evident within the last
few days that the repressive influences
at first exercised by Great Britain were
no longer being urged. On the contrary,
Great Britain is at present in the same
attitude as France and Austria in holding
the view that Spain has made such large
concessions that the United States should
grant time for their trial. From the Brit
ish standpoint peaceful settlement is
easily possible, unless the United States
insists upon going to war

HIGHWAY COMMISSION.

section Three Considered Mt the
Meeting Today.
The highway commission met in the office
OF the chief OF engineers of the army at the
War Department this morning, for the pur-
pose OF hearing citizens interested in the
plan Of street extensions prepared by the
District Commissioners, In section 3, being
that portion of the District outside OF the
city limits and west of Rock creek. The
commission consists of the Secretary of
war, Secretary of the Interior and Gen.
Wilson, chief of engineers Several COM
munIcations were submitted
One was from Mr.. Lancaster represent-
ing the Citizens Association of the terri
tory affected, making a general protest
against the law under which the proposed
extensions are to be made Another COM
munication protested against the proposed
boulevard on the bluffs of the Potomac.
MI Newlands made an oral argument I'm
favor OF change in the commissioners'
p ans by which the alternate side streets
in the extreme northwestern section of the
District might be temporarily omitted from
the plan in order that the blocks might be
larger and on that account more easily dis
posed Of 1t was finally decided by the
commissioners to return the maps to the
district Commissioners in order to allow
ttem to consider Mr.. Newland's suRges-
tlcns before final action is taken.

CRITICISE THE METHODS.
Yet English Newspapers AcknOyvl-
edge the Right of Intervention.


LONDON. April 14.-Thc afternoon news
papers today print long comments on the
evil of leaving the issue of peace or war
the papers, however, questions the duty OF
the United States to intervene in Cuba.
but they are disposed to criticise the meth
eds proposed.
The Westminster Gazette says: The
scene in the House and the Senate's in
sulting report in regard to the Maine are
hardly edifying, but they are the inevitable
result of the peculiar provisions of the Con-
stitutiOn, which disarm the executive and
compel the last steps In most perilous
crisis to be taken in blazing publicity. 1t
is impossible not TO sympathize with the
indignation of the Americans, and the
solemn lectures which some of the British
newspapers are administering to America
are ridiculous. Still, there is feeling that
the two countries are marching to an
avoidabe calamity"
The Pail Mall Gazette expresses the
opinion that the resolutions of the Hous.
of Representatives were the logical and
practical corollary of the message" add
ing:
The scene in the House was not pretty;
but it was quite human. On the eve of
war it is natural that people should be
excited"
Referring TO the comments of the Times
On the situation, the Pail Mall Gazette
says: The committee was not meaning
Eeace, nor is President Mckinley. He has
done all he couli to that end, and in a
way which should secure his fame, but he
knows where s.atesmanlike Inodera,i n
and tact become weakness"
The other afternoon pepers have but lit
tie patience with the sermon Of the Times
They freely acknowledge that the Amer
leans have shown extreme patience under
the most terrible provocation," eulogize the
crusade against Spanish cruelty, and refer
to the newspapers which criticise the
United States as being the same ''wfo
supported the Turks against Armenia and
the slave owners against the slaves"

GETTING READY FOR WAR.
Orders to District Militia in Antfcfpa
ton of Early Call

Or0erS TO District Militia in AntfciDa-
ton of Early Call.
In view of what is considered to be an
impending crisis. Brigadier General Geo.
H. Harries, commanding the District Of
Columbia militia, today decided to forth
with take possession OF the Center Market
Armory, although the building is rot in
complete readiness to be occupied by the
troops. In accordance with this emer-
gency determination, orders were issued
this afternoon for the 4th Battalion to as
semble this evening. take possession of the
quarters assigned 1t, and move ite proper
ty to the quarters from the drill hall
where arms, accouterments and the like
have been stored since January 81. The
remainder or the brigade, Including the %
Battalion 9th Battalion, 9th Battalion. En-
gtneer Corps, Signal Corps. Ambulance
Corps, Light Battery A. Band Corps Of
Field Music and general noa-commission
staff, will move in tomorrow.
When the armory at 446 L street was va
Gated In January. the organizations men,
toned stored their property in the 9th street
hail. where 1t has remained pending the re-
modelling of thu arcade building for the use
OF the troops, which have been without a
home in the meantime. This condition Of
affairs happening just at this time has
proved particularly unfortunate, and a Sc
rlous handicap to the guard, the companies
and battalions being unable to hold meet
ings or drills. or to make the necessary
preparations for q possible call to arms.
All that remains to be done before tns
new armory can be pronounced complete
is the placing in position of electric light
fixtures and steam heating pipes in a por-
ton of the structure and q certain amount
OF work in the way of plumbing. As it Is
believed the District National Guard viii
be performing active duty within a few
days, it was thought best to- take pos
session Of the armory at once in order
that opportunity and facilities may be had
for nlacinR the several DC xrifb
celay or footing to take the field
Emergency directions were given this
afternoon to hurriedly equip the armory
with as many lights as possible, to fit the
doors with locks and to provide for other
absolutely essential details. Extra work.
nen will be employed, and notwithstanding
the presence Of the troops, it is hoped to
proceed along the regular line and have the
armory finished early neXt week

is given Spain big naval and military
demon straticn will be ordered by the Presi-
dent.
The naval demonstration will be the most
imposing and with the deepest motives in
view. No one thinks the President will
order the bombardment of Havana before
Spain delivers her answer. The Key West
fleet, probably reinforced by that Of Com
modore Schley. will be ordered to appear
within fighting distance Of Havana. There
the fleet will await the final order to begin
real work.
1t would now not be surprising should
the heet pake its appearance before Ha-
vena by Monday next. Many people be-
lieve today that the American flag will be
floating over Havana within a week.
writers on the subject of war say that
1t Is perfectly right for the aggressive
country to SO to the borders of, or even
within, the territory of the opposing coun-
Try ana await the answer of the latter to
Whatever demands have been made.
Administration circles believe that Spain
Will not strike the first blow. She will fol-
low our steps and act entirely on the de-
fensive, doing everything possible to gain
the sympathy of Europe, the idea being to
ultimately gain the aid of some Of the Euro
pean countries.
Troops Going South.
While the naval demonstration is being
made around Havana troops will be pour
Ing to the southern seaboard for the rur-
pose of being put into Cuba SO soon as the
navy has cleared the way, and to also act
In defending the Notifications of southern

1t Is probable that the militia of the va
rious states will be called into service on
the very day that the navy Is ordered to
move.
of course any program at this time is
based upon the present outlook. 1t IL
purely contingent, but the future appears
TO be SO clearly visible that high officials
speculate freely along the lines indicated.

luton of the sort he is quoted as saying

luton of the sort he is quoted as saying
he would veto.
Members of the majority of the Senate
foreign relations committee have been
making a canvass of the Senate, and ex-
press confidence that the Davis resolutions
will be adopted without the Foraker
amendment. 1t is proposed not to have an
adjournment, but 1t is said that there may
be recess so as to permit senators to at
tend Senator Morrills birthday reception,
he being the father Of the Senate. This
recess suggestion has not yet taken posi-
tive FORM and there is strong sentiment
in favor of continuous session until a vote
is had.
Republican Senatorial Caucus.
Preparations are being made for a eau
Gus of the republican senators to be held
today as soon as the situation In the Sem
ate admits of their Withdrawing for that
purpose or a recess has been taken. A
number of conferences have been held by
the ultra ra-conservatives. looking to the
adoption of the House resolutions by the
Senate.
The fact that senator's like Elkins and
Hanna, who have been for peace at all
cost, are urging the acceptance of the
House resolution, has excited suspicion of
the resolutions among the ultra pro-Cu-
bans, and inclined them. almost as a body.
to adopt the objections that have been
raised by individuals who have made an
analysis of the resolutions
1t is said by members of the House that
if there Is any doubt or chance for bubble
in the House resolution that they would
prefer the Senate form, and that the re-
publicans Of the House committee would
Lot have been unanimous in their support
of it If they had thought it subject 10
evasion on any point
The purpose of getting the republicans
in caucus is to consider this general Gues-
ton and also the question of time for Il
vote. Some of the pro-Cuban republicans
have warned the ultra peace men that II
they attempt to delay or to force the House
resolution it will have the opposite effect
OF that intended, and will result i'll the
adoption of the most radical resolution
proposed.
They say that the peace men had better
rest satisfied with the Davis resolution II
they do not want to embarrass the Presi-
dent with something sless to the liking OF
the administration.

gance, intolerance and deceit.
That the conduct of the consular force
Of the United States In Cuba merits the
highest praise. and the thanks of the Con-
gress of the United States are hereby ten

ton to duty under the most trying circum-
