THE MESSAGE HELD BACK.
The President, at the Last Minute
Held His Message Back
for Good Reason.
AMERICAN LIVES WOULD Be III DANGER.
ronsul-GeneraI Lee, at Havana. Had In
formed the President that All the
Americans Could Not Leave within the
Time Set. and that Their Lives Would
he Placed in Imminent Peril.

WASHINGTON, April TT can be
stated authoritatively that after con.
ferences with members of the foreign
affairs committees of both houses the
president has decided not to send in
his message until Monday next
Senator Davis explained to the sem
ate. in closed session, the reason for
the delay in sending the message He
said it was due to the fact that there
had been some delay in getting Consul
General Lee and other Americans out
of Havana, and that more time was alb
solutely necessary for this purpose.
Hence the president did not consider it
wise or humane to send in the message
which might precipitate serious trouble
and endanger the lives of these people.
Mr.. Davis stated that the president
had sent for him for the especial pur-
pose of asking this delay, and had
shown as a reason for the request a
telegram from Consul General Lee say
ing that if the message should be sent
before Monday he would not be re-
ponsble for the lives of Americans in
Cuba
No comment whatever was made on
the senator's communication, and after
it was made the senate returned to it's
legislative work.
Many alarming rumors were ahoat
regarding the safety of Consul General
Lee and the other consular officers
stationed in Cuba, some even going to
the extent OF declaring that some of
them had been attacked by mobs. The
officials of the state department attach
no Importance to these rumors.
Assistant Secretary Day said in reply
to an inquiry regarding the safety of
Gen. Lee, that it was more than probable
that he would leave Havana during the
afternoon, and that every precaution
had been taken for the safety of all
the other consular officers and citizens
Of the United States throughout Cuba.

THE CUBANS ARE IN EARNEST,
Would Resist United States Intervention
If Unaccompanied by Recogni-
ton OF Independence.

New YoEK, April THE Cuban
junta, through its counsel, Horatio S.
Rubens, made an important statement.
1t declared in the most unequivocal
language that the Cuban provisional
government and the Cuban army would
reject absolutely intervention by the
United States unless it should be
preceded by a recognition of
the independence of the Cuban
republic; that if the Uni ted States
persisted in intervening without rec
ognizing Cuban independence the Gu
ban government and military forces
would refuse to cooperate; and that if
the United States troops should be sent
to Cuba upon the basis of intervention
without independence, the Cuban army
would, in the last resort, turn it's arms
against the United States.
The statement made by Mr.. Rubens
was preceded by the following:
The declaration | am about to
make is official, for am the legal rep
resentative of the junta and | know
their unalterable convictions and posi-
uon. 1t is in line with the utterances
Oh the delegate of the Cuban provision
a. government TO the United States.

gestion was made that this govern
