WHAT ABOUT THE MAINE?
Feeling of Intense Bitterness
Against the President.
DELAY OF MESSAGE A TRICK
Denounced In the House and Senate
The Cubans May Suffer by His
Action. But Spain Must Answer for
the Slaughter of Americas >
Marines.

The feeling in Congress was one of IN
tense bitterness against the President on
account Of his failure to send in his
message in accordance with the solemn
pledge he had made.
The reasons assigned by the President
are accepted by both houses and if
Americans are In danger Congress would
prefer to wait few days rather than
precipitate a massacre. But public men
point out the fact that this condition
could have been avoided The President
knew the position he would be compelled
10 assume in the face of certain contin-
gencies and there is no reason why the
work of getting Americans out of Cuba
should not have begun at least a week
before it did If Gen. Lee had been no
tilted of what was coming, he would have
taken the same active steps he is now
taking to save every American life and
get all Of our subjects out of harms 5
reach before rioting begins. The fact
that Gen. Lee requested this delay alone
influenced Congress and repressed the
outlook that would have followed the
failure under any other conditions to
send in the message.
The American people. full OF sympathy
for those in distress. have been aroused
to the highest pitch on account of the
barbarities in Cuba and ever since the
Maine was blown up, have been ready to
fight the perpetrators of this culminat-
ing outrage. Just as the moment arrived
when the American people We're ready to
rise in their might, when delay would no
longer be tolerated. and the peace-at-any-
price policy OF the President was to be
overthrown, the Executive appealed to
the sentiments of the people and pic
lures to them the dangers of American
citizens. 1t was the last word of des-

New York. April The uncertain trad

the confusion Of ideas in respect to The
issue OF general Spanish-Cuban situation.
On the one hand the more trustworthy

market, judging from the course Of
prices, these opinions counted for as
much as the known facts Of which the
most definite are the continued urgent
military preparations and the departure
Of the American citizens and consular
representative from Cuba.
Aside from the diplomatic situation the

interesting because OF the action of the
bank directors in finally advancing the
minimum discount rate, and significant
also from the fact that they passed over
the usual intermediate step and marked
rates up at once from 10 per cent.
The movement seems to have been in
fuenced largely by fear that the strained
situation between the United States and
Spain might end In war, in which case
the present high money rates in this
