 ton Is being formed to override tine
 chair, and pass a resolution for

 Washington, March 3I-Congres- sional leaders have tacitly agreed to waste one more day, awaiting Spain's reply to the ultimatum of the Uni ted States, as the queen regent and
 the Spanish cabinet will meet at four o'clock to decide whether they will agree to the American proposi- ton for the absolute freedom of Cuba. The proposition has created tn most intense excitement there among the populace, as the feeling against the United States is very bitter and there is a strong senti- ment in favor of war rather than to acce3e to the demands of the Uni ted States. The people have been led to believe through articles which have appeared in the newspapers that Spain would come out of the struggle victorious.
 Washington, March 3l-It is said here that the administration is still hopeful for peace. but high botE in congress and out, state this morning that nothing short of miracle can prevent war. Even if Spain should concede everything which is now demanded of her, the temper of the Ameri- can people is worked up to an in- governable, patriotic pitch, which demands that the treacbery of Spain n blowing up an American war ship while it was the guest of that nation should be punished and that the awful death of the sailors Of the Maine through this act of treachery must be avenged a; any price. Fighting they say will com mence within week unless some thing entirely unforeseen now should occur.

March 3l.-All the pa c 'ers here today declare that the b spanish fleet of war ships will ar q i've here this week These with t hose already here will be more b han able 10 cope with the Ameri- il an fleet now at anchor at Dry Tor ugas. The tone of the Havana l' 'ress continues very insolent 10 p 'ards America, and as this feeling t prevails among the people an out W 'reak and riot could easily be pre- lpltattd without warning. While O ot daring to give expression to u heIr sentiments publicly, it IS we'll O nown that there is a very large Il of the substantial busi- b ess men of the city whose sym athies are with the Americans and T ho will hail with icy Americas in- ss ,rference to free the island from n, le tyrannous yoke of Spanish op- ressiOn and cruelty.
