OF THE MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.
Washington. April 7-Senator Culloul. OF ILL.,

President. and Representatives Grosvenor OF
Ohio. and Cannon. of Illinois. the latter the
chairman Of the House Appropriations Commit
tee. were the first callers al the White House to-
day. Senator Cray. Of Delaware a member OF
the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. was
with the President for some time
Senator Gray later said h. believed that oil
the Americans who intended to get out OF Cuba
would be got out safely. He believed that
neither General Voodford nor General Lee
would be at his post after the opening Of next
week. He thought the precautions taken by
this Government and the threatening state OF
affairs at Havana with relation TO American
citizens tended 20 stimulate the Spanish Gov
eminent TO afford better protection. He did not
think there was any likelihood Of an armistice
between Spain and the insurgents. Such an act
he said. naturally would have an effect on the
situation. but the mere offer of one unaccepted
by the Cubans. whatever might be the part it
would play in the sentiment Of other Powers.
would not, in his opinion. change our attitude in
any way.
Up to late in the forenoon there had not been
any important development az the White House.
The President announced 20 some OF his callers
that he regarded his message 70 Congress as a
closed document unless there IS an unexpected
radical change In the existing situation.
Representative Grosvenor said that unless
there was a revision II the facts which ne did
not deem at all probable there would be no re-
vision Of the Presidents message. Mr McKn-
