AND ClTBA'S EVACUATION
Committee Foreign Affairs to Report
to Congress Not Later Than
Thursday.

W.su!>sr sroS, Apr.! 2It4 was an
nounce,i ,p,hrHicially ate this afternoon
that the report Of The Committee

houses win not he presented
before Thursday. General Lee reached
Washington tnis afternoon. Tomorrow
morning according to present arrange.
mchts, he will make a statement in ref.
erpnce to the Maine before the Senate
committee. In the afternoon he will
make the same statement before the
House committee. The evidence General
Lee will present is expected to play an
important part in the committees
deliberations and members of Congress
anticipate that it will cause the two
, committees to make it conspicuous as an
issue in the reports they will present.
The understanding today is that the
resolution which now finds most favor
with the committees OF both Houses is
for immediate intervention. and with
the Maine incident to the front. A res
olution which recognizes the island s
freedom may be presented independently
because of the fear that IN intervention
resolution which contains the independ-
ence feature would meet with deter
mined opposition and subjected to long
delay by means of exhaustive speeches.

BRITISH VIEWS
Impossible for Spain TO Accept tho
Only Conditions That Can Insure
Peace.

Peace.
LONDON, April 12.-TAe Daily Graphic
thinks the Presidents message bound to
lead to war. 1t says:
"Spain will, OF course, resist interven-
ton and war will result. But the duty
of the United States lies not the less in
the path now marked out for her by the
President.
The Daily Mail and the Daily Tele-
graph admit that the message leaves the
question of immediate war underter-
mined, but declare the eventuality OF
war certain, ''as it is impossible for Spain
to accept the only conditions which will
avert war.
The Westminster Gazette thinks after
all, the United States has large claims
for intervention in all affairs in America.
The Venezuela arbitration established ii
far-reaching precedent
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
president Mckinley is right in fol-
lowing the excellent course OF throwing
upon Congress the responsibility for
national action, and there is no doubt
what Congresss answer will be.
I'm our opinion it is too late. to avoid
war, as Spain is apparently determined
to fight hopeless battle rather than
yield to demands which, though ex-
pressed by America alone, are in reality
the demands of an informal cOncer! of
the worlds civilization"
The st. Janes's Gazette complains
that the message leaves things in 4 state
OF uncertainty, but says:
president Mckinley and Congress
may we'll hesitate to accept the really
serious responsibility OF committing the
United States to the recognition of bands
OF brigands as a government.
"If the United States were II European
power, governed by a Pitt ora Bismarck,
a war OF contest would result; but it is
doubtful if the United States is prepared
for that work.

Crush the Cuban
Patriots.
WASHINGTON, April l2.-The real sig.
niticance OF Spain's proposal for all
armistice has just become apparent.
Being emboldened by the attitude cl
President Mckinley, Spain now suggests
that in the event that the Cubans refuse
to accept the offer of an armistice the
United States compel the insurgents
to do so.
In other words, Spain wants the United
States to become her ally and crush the
patriots in Cuba.
The suggestion, as outlined above,
comes from all official representative OF
Spain now here.
He points out that, owing to the prac-
tical blockade of American ports against
filibustering expeditions and the objec-
ton of owners Of vessels to venture into
Cuban waters at the present time, the
supplies of the insurgents have been cut
off and they will be compelled to accept
the offer Of an armistce.
