Gen. Lee Ordered to Get All Our Citizens
Out of Cuba at Once.

Washington, April 5.-The removal of
Americans from Cuba before Mr. McKin-
ley's message goes in tomorrow deeply
concerned the officials today.
General Lee is straining every energy to
secure steamers and is warning all Ameri-
cans to repair to Havana and Matanzas
without delay, and be prepared to leave
Immediately.
General Lee telegraphed' that he could
not concentrate the cilizens at Ihe points
under five days and that the O'iNette, de-
pended on to accommodate several hun
dred refugees, had become disabled.
Gen. Lee expects to remain in Havana
until every American has gone. He has

FOR ARMED INTERVENTION.
Mr.. Mckinley win Ask for Authority II
End Cuban War.

Washington, Aprii 5.-President McKin-
ley's message on Cuba will 60 to Congress
tomorrow. Tonight it can be positively
stated that the President has accepted the
advice of those who have urged the neces-
sity of harmonizing the conflicting views
of Congress and the executive, and in the
message he will recommend that authority
be given for Intervention, when necessary,
TO pacify the island, maintain permanent
peace and procure independence for
the Cubans.
The President will not recommend the
recognition of independence. He has as
surances that the scope and tone of the
message will meet the approval of Con-
gress and the people. The message will
recite the diplomatic negotiations with
Spain from the beginning of the contro-
versy; give graphic description of the
conditions in Cuba and bring out plainly
the reasons why the United States can no
longer tolerate Spain's government in the
island.
The Senate and House committees on
foreign affairs have already agreed, with a
few exceptions, to bring in report in &C.
cordance with the message and will un'
doubtedIy bring ina resolution, probably
Thursday, providing for the employment
&of land and naval forces by the President

4 Dispatch From General Lee COunS0lS
Delay.
SPAIN SAID TO BE YIELDING.
Queen Regent Takes Matters In Her Own
Hands--Ready to COncede American
Demands S-ResignatiOn of Spanish
Ministry May Follow.

1t was understood that President Nc
Kinley would send his message to Congress
yesterday on the Cuban situation. This
message was being awaited with burning
interest by the American public, 1t was
not sent in, however, and the reason as
signed is that the President received mes
sages that all the American citizens could
not be gotten off the island of Cuba before
\Sunday. Gen. Lee telegraphed that Wey-
ler's supporters had taken possession Of the
streets at Havana and were attempting to
incite riot against Americans. This
alarming information upset the Presidents
plans to send in his message yesterday.
Upon information of the situation the
most ultra men in Congress yielded their
wishes and a delay until Monday was
granted the President.
Now comes news that Spain is yielding
and will grant all the demands of the
United States. The Queen Regent has
taken matters in her own hands, and un-
der the advice of French and Austrian am
bassadors at Madrid, will give America all
that she has required.
1t is stated that there were more than
2OO0 citizens of the United States in the
island of Cuba. These will be gotten off
by Friday Or Saturday.
On Monday the President will send in
his message, unless Spain yields to the de-
mands of our government.

Jacksonville, Fla, April 5.-A Cuban
living in Havana, man of responsibility,
and in position to know the sentiment
of those bearing insurgent arms and those
that govern and control the insurgent
forces, states in a letter to a prominent
Cuban leader OF Jacksonville, that under
no condition, except that of absolute in
dependence and liberty, will they lay down
their arms. No matter if the whole world
says that that they shall, no matter if the
combined armies Of Europe shall conspire
to force them, the insurgents, he says,
will not yield, but will suffer complete ex-
termination first.

years. In addition, Gibbons asserts that
it's absolutely impossible for them to ex-

for their explosion are formed only by the
manipulation of a complicated keyboard ,
especially devised to prevent accidents.
Three keys are necessary, which are al
