structed to get tn best offer the Span ish Government sould make, and it would be considerd
 There are indications here that the Republic of Franc, in pursuance of the policy outlinedtn the speech of M. Hanotaux. Ministerof Foreign Affairs, in the Chamber of Deputies last Satur- day. is soon to appar with an offer ot mediation on the whole general sub ject of Cuba and the naine.
 A movement in tlls direction IS ex- pected daily. I find sentiment in the Cabinet is not entirely favorable to the mediation of any Eur,pean power.
 There are hints, too of other moves on the international chss board. The eyes of the diplomats q the world are watching Austria as well as France. Some significance was aso attached to a call of Sir Julian Pau1cetote on the Secretary of State to-day l must add here that Senators Gorma1 and Allison were sent for by the President because they are the chairmen respectively Of the Democratic and Republican caucus committees. The President wanted to know of the Senators whethe: Congress could not be induced to grant an ap- propriation without conditions which might bring on trouble. He was frank ly told that Congress had passed be- yond control of any one who wanted to act on Cuba in any way shon ot ac- tual intervention. The President said Spain had suggested an armist1ce urtii October.
 The Senators told him that every body must see that would be directly against the interests of the United States. An armistice would not be ac- cepted by the Cubans. When October comes, the need of intervention might be more urgent than now, and by that time Spain would have cordon ot war ships around the island to keep the United States out.
 The President visibly weakened when this was said to him. When the Sena- tors told him that he must also insist that the reconcentrados be released and returned to their homes, he said he would be in favor of that.
 Thus at midnight 1t looks as though Congress had won in the first engage ment with the President

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE TALKS
 ONLY OF PEACE
Submits the Report of the Court of Inquiry and Leaves the
 Rest to Spain'S Honor.

At 8 o'clock in the evening on Feb ruary Is everything had been reported secure and all about was quiet. At forty minutes past 9 o'clock the vessel was suddenly destroyed.
 There were two distinct explosions. with brief interval between them. The first lifted the forward part of the ship very perceptibly; the second. which was more prolonged, is attributed by the court to the partial explosion of two or more of the forward magazines.
 The evidence of the divers estab- fishes that the after part of the ship was practically intact and sank in that condition within a very few minutes of the explosion The forward part was completely demolished. Upon the evi- dence of concurrent external cause the finding of the court is as follows:
 At frame Y, the outer shell of the ship, from roint eleven and one half feet from the middle line of the ship and six feet above the keel when i'll its normal position, had been forced up so as to be about four feet above the sur face of the water; therefore. about about fifteen feet broad and thirty-two be had she sunk uninjured The out side bottom plating is bent into re- versed V shape, the after wing ofwhich, about fifteen feet broad and thirty-two feet in length (from frame Y to frame 25), is doubled back upon itself against the continuation of the same plating extending forward. At frame IS the vertical keel Is broken in two and keel bent into an angle similar to the angle formed for the outside plates. This break Is about six feet below the sur face of the water and about thirty feet above its normal position. In the opin- ion of the court this effect could have been produced only by the explosion of a mine situated under the bottom of the ship, at about frame IS and some what on the port side of the ship.
 The conclusions of the court are: That the loss of the Maine was not in any way due to the fault or negligence on the part of any of the officers or members of her crew.
 That the ship was destroyed by the explosion of submarine mine, which caused the partial explosion of two or more of her forward magazines; and that TO evidence has been obtainable fixing the responsibility for the destruc- ton of the Maine upon any person or persons.
 I have directed that the finding of the Court of Inquiry and the views of this Government thereon be communicated to the Government of her Majesty the Queen, and 1 do not permit myself to doubt that the sense of justice ot the Spanish nation will dictate course of action suggested by honor and the friendly relations of the two Govern rents.
 It is the duty of the executive to ad- wise Congress of the result, and in the meantime deliberate consideration Is invoked

SENTIMENT IN
 THIS COUNTRY.
What the Leading Papers of the East Have to Say About the
 MeSSape

NEW YORK, March 2S-The morning press will comment as follows on the Presidents message tomorrow:
 The Herald says: Spain must under stand from diplomatic and other develop ments of the last few days that she stands at the parting of the ways. So far Christian people are concerned there Is no wish for war Peace was never more requisite. The situation in Cuba Is no longer war or insurrection, nor even an outbreak. It has degenerated into mas sacre and starvation. There must be humane intervention. Humanity imposes the mandate and will applaud the mis- sion. From this policy there will be neither departure nor appeal Spain must decide"
 The World says: ''The Presidents mes- sage is inadequate, disappointing and chilling document. This trust in Spanish justice and honor cannot have been character in Cuba But what has the President to say as to the course of ac, ton requirea ny 1ur bG o eanse anf of honor and justice? Why is the initiative left to Spain?, Is this the way that Eng at Hayti? Is this what any. first-class European power would do in like circum- stances? There is a time to stop delib- erating and proceed to action. This time has come in the Spanish-Cuban crisis"
 The Tribune says: Tt is the, voice of patriotism and of statesmanship. The President sees that the case is one to be dealt with diplomattically until either it of diplomacy are exhausted. Those who are in the vast majority believe that the of lives can be atoned for in some better way than the destruction of other ships and hundreds or thousands of other lives"
 The Journal says: That Is absolutely all the comment the President has to make upon an act of murderous treachery that stands alone in modern history. He has less to say about the destruction of an American battle-ship and the murder of 266 American sailors than he would say about a proposition to fill Potomac flats. He humbly holds out his hat at Spain and trusts that she will drop into 1t some thing satisfactory to us or at least to her. self And this is what we have been arm ing for so ostentatiously in the sight of an admiring world. It is for this we have been securing the military markets of Europe and painting our warships a greenish gray.

as to provoke Spain to armed resist ance.
 Not very much time was required to make 1t clear that serious change had come over the situation. The Presi- dents desire has been to have united Congress at his back in all the nego- tiations. Here was break It Is plain that the jingoes had brought on serious complications. Quickly the news trav- e1ed to the White House, and it had the effect of disturbing the President seriously. Unless the attitude of Con- gress could be changed the whole fab ric of the Presidents aspirations would come tumbling down. The Presidents dream of united Congress was surely dispelled. He had not been anticipat- ing opposition to the sending of relief without warlike conditions, and prop osition had been laid before him by the peaceful fnanciers of New York, Bos- ton and Philadelphia, looking to the raising of the money by private sub scription This would accomplish the Presidents humanitarian desires. but what effect would it have on the coun- try. and what effect would it have on Spain?
 The President tonight is consulting with members of Congress seeking to smooth out the tangle. He has been in conference with Allison, German, Hanna and Aldrich. Representatives have called It is thought that Reed can fight the appropriation through the House without warlike order being put in. The Speaker was evidently pre- pairing for the fray to-day when to at tend the late Representative Simpkins' funeral he appointed four members of the Foreign Affairs Committee.

considera ton of the bill making the relief appropriation asked for by the President. A motion will then be made for the previous question and this will be opposed. The opposition will, l think, be successful in this, for many Re- \ publicans will join the Democrats. If the motion for the prev viouS ques- ton is defeated it will be then in order to submit amendments, and one of them will be for the recog- nition of the CubanS as belliger- entS, or perhaps a recognition Of the independence Cf Cuba. A point of order will likely be made that this is not germain and 1t is expected that Speaker Reed will sustain this point. An appeal will then be taken from his rul- ing, and if Speaker Reed recognizes this right of appeal (as he should) the House will vote by big majority not to sustain him. My opinion is that unless the Speaker arbitrarily refuses to recognize the right of appeal the House will succeed in attaching rider to the appropriation bill recognizing Cuban independence. If such action is taken the Senate will follow suit" ,"
 ''What would be the effect of such action }" Mr. Hopkins was asked.
 "War," he replied, "and if the President is wise he will accept the inevitable and dispatch our war vessels. to head off the torpedo fleet before it can reach Havana harbor.
 But, notwithstanding the op- .timistic Congressman Hopkins, there is another side to the ques- tion. The President is fully aware of the temper of Congress and realizes the danger. For this reason he may delay sending his message until the Congressman have cooled off. The President held conference tonight with several Cabinet members and in- timate friends, and the situation was discussed. What conclusion was reached could not be ascer- tained, although it is believed that the President will withhold his mes sage until Wednesday, at any rate; and perhaps it may be in- definitely postponed.
 There is an additional reason for that. The Call correspondent learns that at 4 o'clock this after noon a cablegram was received from United States Minister Wood ford at Madrid conveying to this Government the satisfaction with which President McKinley's mod crate message to Congress to-day was regarded by the Spanish Ministry. The President and his Cabinet are apprehensive that the publication of this felicitous cablegram may add fuel to the flames. Therefore, as stated above, the proba- bilities are that he will thwart the plans of the rebels in the House by

the Associated Press, a canvass of the
range cattle situation a summing up of
which up to date, shows an unusually
promising condition both in the open
ranges and large pastures. The grass
crop along the whole line is strong and
abundant and in some localities in the
west and northwest is curing finely and
cattle are maturing rapidly. The sea-
son Will be advanced in some localities
and retarded in others. In the lower
Yellowstone valley in Montana, beef
range cattle will be in the Chicago mar
ket next week, about two weeks ear
lier than last season, while in the IN
dian Territory. they are three weeks
later. In western Montana, Wyoming
and western South Dakota, the grass
is two weeks late in maturing which is
essential for fat beeves. There will be
much greater proportion shipped di-
rectly from the ranges to the slaughter
market than there were last season.
