Ffst-Her majesty. the queen OF
Spain. desirous of ending the troubles
which are desolating Cuba, has COM
manded suspension of hostilities.
General B!anco has been ordered to
proclaim today an armistice without
conditions. He Will determine later the
duration and details OF this armistice.
so as to carry out the generous inten-
tions of her majesty and the wishes OF
the friends of peace.
Second-Her majesty's government
has granted to the island Of Cuba in
stitutions as liberal as those enjoyed by
Canada under the British flag. The Gu
ban chambers will meet on the fourth
of next May. II will be their duty and
privilege to put into practice and de-
velop these institutions. In addition to
this Cuba is represented in the parlia-
ment at Madrid.
''Third-Public opinion In this coun-
try appears to ignore the fact that the
loss Of the Maine was Immediately fol-
lowed by official and reiterated express
sions of coincidence from her majesty,
the queen; from her government, from
her charge d'affaires in Washington.
and from the authorities in Havana:
all Of which tended affirm the horror
which this disaster has caused to arise
in Spanish hearts. as also the sympa-
thy felt for the United States govern
ment and navy and for the American
nation. The Spanish minister feels
confident he can count upon the cour-
tesy and sense Of justice of the United
States government to enlighten public
opinion upon this subject.
"Fourth-AS to the cause of this la
mentable disaster. it resolves itself
into question of facts which can only
be settled by material proofs. The
Spanish minister reiterates the assur-
ance that his government is ready to
submit the question to experts desig-
mated by maritime powers, whose con-
clusions are in advance accepted"
Senior Polo delivered the documents
in person to the state department. and
aside from the interest in the commune
cation itself the call had added inter-
est as an evidence of renewal of Dip
lomatic negotiations, this being his first
call at the department in ten days
Later Senior Du Bose, first secretary
of the legation. made another call at
the department on the same general
subject. Besides delivering the note the
call permitted a personal exchange be-
tween the secretary of state and the
Spanish officials Of an agreeable char
acter.

The conditions imposed in Spain's

The Consular Reports.
The consular reports submitted by
the president along with the mes
sage make about 60, 600 words Those
from the consuls outside OF Havana
are largely devoted to the sufferings
OF the reconcentrsdoes and the
methods of carrying on the war.
Gen. Lees reports cover not only
the deaths ard outrages inflicted on
the reconcentradoes in Havana, but
deal with Spanish DEGREES and other
matters in general policy. In his re-
ports, particularly, many parts are
suppressed, as it Is not in accord
ance with the best interests Of the
country to make them public now.
Action In the House.
Tho reading Of the message in the
house was greeted with scattering
applause on the republican side and
some groans on the democratic side.
The galleries made no demonstra.
tions. The message was referred to
the committee on foreign affairs
without debate. The republican
members Of the committee on foreign
affairs met at 2 o'clock to conside,
formally the message. The republi.
cans OF the house who are in the
movement for aggressive action are
to meet this afternoon to decide upon
plan Of action.

from speaking about it until they

Washington. April 1l.-Preldent
McKiuley's message to congress on
the Cuban situation and the relations
between the United States and Spain
was sent to both the national houses
this afternoon.
The presidents message asks con-
gress to authorize the president to
take measures to secure o termina-
tion Of hostilities in Cuba, and to
secure the establishment OF o stable
government there. and to use the
military and naval forces of the
United States as may be necessary
for that purpose. The president
favors Intervention to terminate hos
tilities, and asks q discretionary
authority, but opposes recognition Of
the present Cuban government.
A to the Maine.
The message says the report Of the
Maine court that the vessel was de-
stroyed by mine leaves The respon-
sibility to bo fixed, but holds that in
any event the "destruction Of the
Maine, by whatever exterior cause. is
patent, impressive proof Of o state
Of things in Cuba that is intolera-
ble." since Spain cannot assure the
safety Of q vessel in her waters on q
friendly mission even. Concerning
the differences between the Spanish
view OF the disaster and American,
and the suggestion by Spain that the
matter be submitted to experts,

find just. the president says he has
made no reply.
arouni for the Action.
In arguing in favor Of armed in
tervention. the president quotes from
the message OF Grant in 1875 and
from that Of Cleveland In bis last
annual message to the effect that
when Spanish sovereignty in Cuba
should become so weakened as to be
hopeless Of final maintenance, the
duty would devolve upon this gov
ernment to interfere. President Nc
Kinley then quotes from his own
message Of last Decent Der looking to
intervention with force as a last re-.
sort. and says: "Long trial has
proved the object for which Spain
has waged war cannot be attained.
The fire Of instruction may flame or
shoulder with varying seasons, but
has not been, and it Is plain cannot
be, extinguished by present meth
DDS. The only hope Of relief and
repose from the condition. which
cannot longer be endured, Is
enforced pacification Of Cuba. In
the name Of humanity; in the name
Of civilization; in behalf OF endan.
gered American interests " hich give
US the right and duty to speak and
act, the war in Cuba must stop.
"In view OF these facts and con-
siderations ask congress to author.

take measures to secure q full ter.

government OF Spain and the Cuban
people, and to secure in the is and

A Plea for Peace,

Barcelona, July 4.-The Diaro pub fishes a remarkable article strongly urging peace between Spain and the United States, in the course of which it says: "The Americans are winning by strength of will and perseverance, and while the war responds to the national feeling of all Americans, Spain was forced into the war by party politics" |"
 Then the article, after declaring the Americans were the aggressors and that Spain was bound to defend her na- tional honor, says: "Our honor being satisfied, nothing compels us to con- tinue such an unequal combat. We cannot compel those who have gone to the war to defend our honor to fight to the death. Those who are directing the struggle ought to put an end to the duel when it is materially impossi- ble for one of the combatants to con- tinue it.''
