THE MESSAGE.

Tie Presidents message rclatin" to the
situation in Cuba and the Spanish crisis,
was sent to Congress Monday. In the
House of Representatives it was referred
without debate to the committee on Tor
ci~n affairs In the Senate NJ. Stewart,
of Nevada, made 4 brief speech and urgcl
the recognition of tie Cuban republic.
The message was retcrrr to the commit
tee on foreign relations.
In his message the President asks CON
gresS to authorize and empower him to
take measures to secure Il full and final
termination of hostilitic, between the gov
eminent of Spain, and the people of Cuba.
and to use the military and naval forces
of the United States n my be necessary
for these purposes.
In the name Of humanity" SAYS the
President, in the name of civilization
and in behalf of endangered American in
tcrests which give u tlA right and the
duty to speak and act. the war in Cuba
must stop.
The President presents strong argu-
mcnt against the recognition of the Cuban
republic as contrary to all precedents in
our history. such recognition, he says,
'is not necessary in order to enable the
United States to intervene and paclfy the
island. To commit this country now to
the rcco ignition of any particular govern
mcnt in C-lbl night subject Us to cmbar-
RAISING conditions of international obliga-
lions toward the organization 50 recog
nZcd.'
The President directs the attention of
Congress to the latest decree of the Queen
Regent of Spain ordering General Blanco
to proclaim suspension of hostilities in
Cuba 'If," he says this measure at
tlins IA succe ssful result, then our aspira
tons as a Christian, peace loving people
will be realized If it fails it will be only
another justification for our contemplated
| action.
The disaster to the battle ship Maine
in the harbor of Havana is discussed in
s.rong terms and described as "a patent
and impressive proof of state of things
that is intolerable" The President says
Ire has made no reply to SPANS PROPOSE
ton to arbitrate the question of RESPONSE
bility for the destruction of the battle ship.
The President recommends an appro
priation by Congress for the relief of the
destitute rcconccntrados.

LEW WALLACE SAYS WAR

General Lew Wallace believes that war
is practically inevitable and that il will be
of much greater length and scope than
people imagine In an address on the
Cuban question General Wallace declares
for mediation. He reviewed the trouble
from its origin and said
president Mckinley's course has been
wise and statesmanlike 1t represents the
loftiest type of patriotism and of fearless
ness. for it requires both to stand as he
has stood 70; the right, while around him
have ragged the inpatient people and
scheming politicians. Ten days ago we
were not prepared for war, and had Con-
yress at that time forced the issue the re-
suit might have been most disastrous and
fatal

WAR THOUGHT TO BE IN
ENITABLE.

AT the Navy Department the ap-
ufehension prevails that war is incv-
. liable.
In the War Department there has
been constant activity for several days
past. but no information has been giIel,
ofany especially formidable movements.
1t is known that upwards of one mil
lion men have rendered their services
to the Secretary OF War. and all Of he
letters received are carefully filed, i'll
dexed and can be promptly replied to
il the event Of actual hostilitics. Sec
rotary Alger has recently said: 1T
would not be difficult for this govern
mcnt to raise an army Of two million
men, to equip, mobilize, drill and pre-
pare them speedily for the field. The
world will witness wonderful specta-
Gle of Il great nation springing to arms
in the. event Of necessity. The people
are patriotic, and their government is
prepared to fulfill its functions.
Everything is in readiness for a
promp: movement OF troops toward
some central point. particularly OF the
forces east of the Rocky Mountains,
likely to be done in the way of moving
any large body of troops southcastward
until there is evidence that their ser
vices Will be needed. which will hc de-
termined by the action Congress takes.
Complete arrangements have been
made for the immediate mobilization of
practically the entire military force of
the government at the Chickamauga
Park ut the first signs OF trouble. 1t
is expected that in case of necessity a
call will be issued for about 10000
troops, preferably from the National
Guard of the different States and Ter
ritories.
templates the invasion of Cuba, the
army may be increased to Geo men.
