[sPEClAz TO THE PREss,1

Washington, April 6.-The intense ex-
citement and the great crowds about the
Capitol this morning were for nothing,
as the President sent no message. The
disappointment was so great as to be-
come somewhat ridiculous, and this has
among the members, contributed to bring
good humor in an angry situation.
There is much muttering among mem
bers and senators at not getting the mes
sage and the word to ''prepare for act
ion," but the situation is such that those
who want war at once can hardly do any
thing but wait for few days at least.
The delay seems to point to chance for
peace through backdown by Spain.
Certainly that is the only chance as the
temIer Of Congress is now.

Washington, April 6.-The Washington
POSTS summary of the situation to be
presented tomorrow morning is as follows:
The temporary withholding of Presi-
dent McKinley's message from Congress
was due to the receipt of a cablegram
from Consul General Lee at Havana adj
yising that il the message contemplated
armed intervention it be deferred until
all Americans in Cuba could leave the
island. He stated that the exodus could
be completed by the tenth inst. Members
of the foreign affairs committee of the
Senate and House upon being shown this
despatch, promptly acquiesced in the
oninion of the President and Cabinet that
the message should be delayed until next
Monday. The utmost confidence is felt by
the administration and Congress in the
wisdom and good Judgment of General
Lee in any emergency.
The rumors of disturbances in Havana
are not confirmed but the conditions there
are extremely threatening. Consul Cen
eraI Lee will remain at his post until all
other Americans are safe.
The Presidents message has only been
changed in that it will ask Congress to

Washington, April 6.-Notwithstandin
caused among tie Republican members
of the House by the withholding of the
Presidents message, the frank state
ment of the President to the leaders and
to several prominent Democrats that
such course was deemed absolutely nee
essary by Consul General Lee, to insure
the safe departure of the Americans still
in Cuba, has caused them to accept the
situation in good faith. Some of the
most radical, after hearing the statements
of those who saw the President, ap-
peared satisfied. Those with whom the
President talked, came away with very
strong impression that the message would
mean war unless Spain backed down
squarely. Ono of them, who has been
very active in antagonizing delay, says
the message will be perfectly satisfactory
to him and will fully meet the expecta-
tions of the country. Pending the trans
initial of the message, in view OF the sit
uation presented by the President, all
plans looking to action in the "a
Will be abandoned. But those who have
been taking part in the radical move
ment, and who always admit the pos
sibility that the time may come when
thoy will have to part company with the
President are, according to the leaders OF
the movement, more determined than
ever to ultimately obtain what they de-
sire.
They are at present satisfied with the
assurances they have received as to the
character of the message. But this has
not prevented them from organizing tor
possible contingencies. The conference
which was to have been held tonight af-
ter the message was in, was abandoned,
but 90 of those who inaugurated the
movement met Immediately after the
House adjourned discuss the situation.
All who were not heartily in sympathy
with them were invited to leave. Those
at the meeting unanimously agreed to
wait upon the message, but the move
ment for a caucus started by the Presl-
dents supporters, which was also aban-
donef during the afternoon, exposed to
them danger. upon which they had not
reckoned, namely, that caucus of Re.
publicans might be called to bind them
by the party action and place them in
the position of bolters il the occasion
arose for them to adopt an independents
plan Of action. A committee Of eight
was thereto appointed to count noses, to
watch the situation and to devise ways
and means to meet any tactics of the op-
position. The committee is as follows:
Messrs. Hopkins of Illinois, Lorimer OF
Illinois Tawney of Minnesota, Cooper of
Wisconsin, Hepburn of Iowa, Rromwell
of Ohio, Joyce OF Missouri, and Knox
of Massachusetts.
n Several rather vigorous speeches in de-
nunciation Of any policy of delay were

made in the course of the meeting, one
by MIR. Smith of Illinois. In order to en-
phasize this position a proposition was
made to unite with the Democrats and
block all legislation arising from day to
day until the message appeared and the
House had acted.on the Cuban resolution
But Mr.. Hull of Iowa, who is push ng
the army reorganization bill, made sucn
an ardent plea to allow that bill to
come to vote that the proposition was
temporarily abandoned. Whether it will
be revived depends largely upon the
course of events. 1t can be stated, how
ever, that it is seriously contemplated.
One of the otherschief developments of the
day was the probability that, in the
event Of q split on the Republican side
the Democrats would unite with the
Radicals and allow the latter to force the
issue. If the Democrats should seek to
assume tho aggressi Te the chances are
they would solidify the Republicans

NEGOTIATIONS NOT RE0PENED.
Delay was Caused by Havana
Situation After All 1t is Said.

Washington, April 6.-The most careful investi
cation in official circles tonight failed to develop any
thing in support of the theory that the delay of the
Presidents message due to the situation at Ma
drid rather than that at Havana When the announce
ment was first made today that the message had been
withheld the inference was drawn in some congress
sional circles that the delay partially inspired by
the attitude of the Queen Regent who was reported
to yield everything demanded by the United States
provided that it cond be done without precpitating
popular disturbance in Spain Press dispatches of
pending cabinet crisis in Madrid tended to confirm
this.
Those closest to the President refused to dis
cuss the Madrid situation further than to say that
there was no information from that quarter and
that no fresh negotiations had been opened. 1t was
reiterated that the Crux of the situation in
Havana This was confirmed by members of the
foreign relations committees to whom this expana-
ton had been made in such form that they pro-
fessed themselves satisfied to accept it.

authorize and direct immediate interven-
tion. Otherwise the message will stand
as heretofore outlined and it will be of
such a vigorous ringing character as to
meet the full expectations of Congress
and the country. 1t will inevitably mean
war. Hostilities can only be averted by
Spain herself declaring the Independence
of Cuba. Negotiations with Spain have
not been reopened by the United States
and will not be. The Queen Regent has
not sent personal message to the Presi-
dent making new proposal for peace.
With the influences now at work through
foreign diplomatic channels to bring
about a settlement of the difficulties be-.
tween Spain and her rehellious subjects
in Cubs, this government has nothing to
do. Ths administration and Congress
stand pledged to the freedom Of Cuba and
will accept no solution that does not in

troops from the island and the hauling
