THE MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.
President Mckinley Taking Views
of His Cabinet and Congress.

WASHINGTON, April AT IL to-
! day Cabinet officer said there was
no change in the situation, and that
he expected events would move along
the present lines until the Presidents S
message was sent to Congress early
the coming week. President Mckinley
has not actually begun the work Of
writing his message, which will be
sent to Congress either on next Mon
day or Tuesday. He is giving it, how
ever. thoughtful consideration, and is
taking the views of his Cabinet and
OF Congress on all questions involved.
1t is not yet definitely decided wheth-
er the correspondence which has passed
between the two countries on the sub
ject of Cuba Will accompany the mes
sage or not. The advice proffered most
urgently to the President has been the
recognition of the independence of Gu
ba and intervention at once to end
the horrors of the situation This
course has been urged especially by
Senators and members of the House
| The President has listened to all these
views, but has not expressed his own
SO freely.
Appreciating the wishes of Congress
] the earliest practicable moment and
the fact that a document of it's grave
significance and its historical charac-
ter requires the utmost deliberation
and consultation with his official ad-
visers, the President has determined to
put aside all but the. most important
matters until the message has been put
in shape for submission to the Ma
tional Legislature With this end in
view he denied himself to a long line
of callers to-day, but saw quite a num-
Der of persons whose knowledge and
experience might be of service to him
in his task

mors of all kinds in circulation. and

The record-union., 1898-04-03

A small element among the Spanish
merchants and planters know the folly
of this talk, but this element cannot
come out openly and antagonize the
war party The aim of the planters
and merchants who have lost conf
dence in Spain's ability to maintain her
sway in the island is either an Ameri-
can protectorate or annexation. In
stead Of growing stronger, they become
weaker in the presence of the crisis be-
tween the two countries, when every
Spaniard who is not ready to undertake
hostilities is looked upon With distrust
Their influence for peace cannot be
counted on as either a check or guide
to the popular movement. 1t is lost in
the fervor OF the army officers, the vol
unteers and the populace Some of the
autonomlst leaders, too, go with the
tide. They are more bitter against the
United States than are the intran-
sigeants. They hold it responsible for
the failure of autonomy, which, by
force of circumstances, becomes their
own failure. However, autonomists.
either as leaders or as followers, are
not numerous enough to make their
sentiments a factor of Importance They
can neither carry a policy which they
favor to success nor prevent the sue
cessful execution of a policy to which
they are opposed. The functions of the
autonomist Government in the domes-
tic concerns of the island have been
weak. In international affairs it is q

The Spanish classes do not need edu-
cation regarding the condition of the
revolution as do the people of Spain
They know that the insurgents viii
never sue for peace; that the only hope
OF the peninsula lies in extermination
Possibly because of their superior
knowledge the Spaniards in Cuba are
tranquil over the reports of attempted
negotiations. They believe all efforts
for an armistice will fail because the
insurgents will not accept anything not
based on independence That the Sa-
gasta Cabinet is preparing, through the
good offices of the United States, for
conceding the independence of Cuba is
incredible to the loyal and patriotic
supporters of the mother country The
course of Captain-G General BlancO and
OF the authorities has not been such
as to prepare them for such action. II

WAR PREPARATIONS.
Being Pushed Ahead as Rapidly as
Possible.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Secretary
Long pushed the naval prepare tions
ahead to-day as rapidly as possible
Admiral Walker arrived in Washing
ton to-day and reported in person to
Secretary Long. The Admiral has been
at the head of commission inyestigat-
ing the route of the proposed Nicarag-
uan Canal. His return caused com
ments as to his possible choice for talk
ing supreme command of all the naval
forces on the Atlantic. While he is on
the retired list, he is not less subject
to duty in case of need. and there is
reason to believe that the Admiral viii
regard 1t as privilege to renew active
service. The proposed assignment has
not been given any consideration by
Secretary Long, and if this matter
should be taken up there are naval Off
GERS in the active list, notably Admiral
Bunce, who would enter into the aues-
ton. Admiral Walker looked bronzed
and rugged. He would not discuss
what the commission had ACCOMPLISHED
nor refer to his future plans in con-
nection with the navy.

The newspapers to-day are extremely
jubilant over the display of patriotism
at the opera-house last evening, but
it was to a great extent manufactured

From entirely reliable information it
can be asserted that the Government
