Washington, April r.
The full significance of the
holding back Of the pres
ident's message has dawned
upon the city, and caused
anger and amazement that
there should apparently be
such da|Iying with an enemy
capable, even of being sus-
pected of such treachery as
General Lees cabIegrams
imputed. The people are
willing to wait until the last
man or woman has been got
ten out of Cuba, and then not
another hours delay. The
more radical of the war
cIamoring element contend,
in fact, openly declare, that
the hating, hesitating policy
of the administration is now
at an end, that to longer pre-
serve it after Americans in
the island are safe, would be
an insult to the American
people.

LOGGERHEADS.

Senate Committee on Foreign Afr irs
Divided as to the Proposition tO
Recognize the Independence OF
Cuba.
WASHINGTON, Apr Tt seems
certain now that the senate committee
on foreign relations, to which the pre-
sident's message must go, will not
quickly agree to endorse the MESA ge
until it shall recommend the recogni-
tion of Cuban independence. Certain
mem bers of congress with Seaator
Forake of Ohio, leading their ARE firm
in their determi oation 10 empody the
independence of Cuba as feature in
whatever resolution is reported.
On the other hand tits contended that
the president only could recognize Gu
ban independence under the constitu-
ton, aod it is asked what course these
senator's who hold that view, but still
want independence, would pursue
when confronte W 5f demand tc.have
congress take this step. Their reply
is they could vote fer such a re-
solution, still leaving it to the pres
ident to sign as the executive may see
fit. Senator Foraker thinks III at if we
do not recognize Cuba's Independence,
we may be liable for Spanish bonds
according to inter national law.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Acril -
/ The ambassador end ministers p.eni-
potentiary representing the European
governments, of Great Britain, Russia,
France, Germany, Austria and Hnrca-
! ~ and Italy, took a hand this ms.r .rning
to offer mediation for peace. They
visited the white houss at noon TODAY,
arriving within few minutes of each
otser, as though the visit had been
I previously arranged and were received
by the president in the blue room.
The conference lasted fifteen minutes.
The presence of these diplom its at the
white house seemed to give force to
the report that the European powers
were about make an effort to prevent
war between the United States and
Spain in order to bring peace in Cuba.
1t was however merely the customary
Easter greeting, and the usual request
for peace and good will to all men.
The ambassadors addressed the pre-
sdent as follows: "The undersigns

Hungary, France, Grea. Britain, Italy
dDo Ouiy IN GQ0 name
of their representative governments in
pressing an appeal to the feelings of
hume nifty and moderation of president
and American people in the existing
differences with Spain. They eernst-
ly hope that further negotiations will
lead to an agreement, which, while
securing the maintenance of peace will
afford all necessary guarantees for the
re-establishment of order in the island
of Cuba. The powers do
not doubt that the humanita-
rian and purely disiptereste
character of this rep 'essntation will be
fully recognized and appreciated by
the American ration'
President Mckinley briefly reply:
"The government of the United States
recognizes the good will which has
prompted the friendly communication
of the representatives of Germany,
Austria, Hungary, France, Great
Britain, Italy and Russia as set forth
in address Of your exc.llencies, ard
shares the hope therein expressed that
the outcome of the situation in Cuba
may be maintenance of peace between
the two countries"

OF the Administration Declares LentZ.
of Ohio, in a Tirade Against the
President and Senator's.
WASHINGTON, April 7.-Represent-
alive Lentz, at Ohio, made speech
this afternoon, asserting that according
private advices received from Havana
it was quieter there than in Washing
ton yesterday. He declared that the
administration was controlled by the
stock ticker, and asserted that, ''If
Judas Iscariot was now living, what a
good chance he would have
to be q senator from New
York" "What about OhiO?" ex-
claimed several members ''Well," he
replied, II understand that ever in the
senate their he8ds are bowed twice,
first when the chaplain prays, ard
next, when certain gentlemen enter.
Once in reverence, once in shame"
Len'z declared that Consul Lees tele
grams from Havana were simply an in
vention to raise the price of stocks.

MESSAGE,
A Forecast From the Globe DEM
Oc' at of the Message and Its Prob
able RaconiiOn nv COn0rasa


Washingtou.-Thed document vi i'll be
ringing one. 1t will stir the pa
triotic impulses. The president has
given assurance to senator's that the
words, "arbitration, mediation and
autonomy will have no place in it,
He will declare that diplomacy has
been exhausted; that the time has come
f. Intervention. He will not say i'm
med ate armed Intervention. He hopes
congress will not say that. He will
ask for authority to intervene, aud use
force when, In his Judgment, it shall
be the proper time. OF course,
there will be a struggle over the pro-
position to allow the president to in
tervene at his discretion. In the
senate and the house are many who
demand fOrcible Intervention now.
In pursuance of these efforts to agree
with congress upon programme the
president has been urget to put In his
message declaration that the sailing
of the torpedo fotilla, and accompany
ing fleet, to this side will be considered
hostile act and justification for at
tack. This he bas declined to do.
AS regards the Maine, which the
president desired to keep entirely
apart from the chief question, the
Cuban question, q conclusion has been
reached. The destruction OF the Maine
will be treated feelingly in the mes
sage. But he president will say that
the investigation thus far made fails
to esta blish the degree and measure of
responsibility. He will advise the
most vigorous and thorough prosecu-
tion of the inquiry inauRurated by
of such responsibility may be deter
mined. Then, he will say, the proper
reparatiOn must be exacted. The pre-
sideot will make it very clear that he
is not in favor OF dropping the Maine
matter. but he does not think its pre-
sent form gives it place in the inn
mediate action toward Spain.
Ii the conferences yield the autici-
pated result, there will be no more talk
of differences in Cuban policy between
the white house and the capitol. War
will not Immediately follow the action
OF congress unless Spain attacks. The
president will have time to complete
all preparations. He viii be permit
ted to exhaust all possible pressure on
Spain to yield. Most important of all
he will be permitted to choose his own
time for applying force. Left with
this p'enary power, the president still
believes he can secure Cuban's inde-
pendence without firing shot. But
the prog ramme is not yet q forecast.
There is still the possibility that con-
gress may take a running jump" as
one OF the presidents ad dvisers express
ed it today, and plunge the country
into war;, Congress has that power.
The president cannot help himself il
the law-making body chooses to ex-
ercise it. Some of the leading senator's
and representatives are very pessimis-
tic tonight over the prospect. They
fear that congress can not be held
back, and that the message will be
followed by res olutiors which will
mean immediate hostilities.
