MESSAGE AND MEDIATION.
The Two Subjects That Were Dominant at
Washington Yesterday.

Washington, April 5.-The two fore.
most branches of the Cuban question in
Washington yesterday were the prssi-
dents message and European media
ton, which now has taken an active
form in the courts of Europe, according
to advices received at foreign embass, es
here, though no proffer has been made
to the United States Regarding the
first it can be stated that it is fully ex-
pected by the administration that the
message will be sent to congress tomor-
row in all probability, and certainly by
Thursday. Members of McKinley's cab
met and his friends in congress stated
definitely yesterday that it will deal
vigorously with the question, will in
clude the Maine incident, and make
definite recommendations to congress.
one of which will be the recognition of
independence.
AS to the mediation of Europe or the
pope, speaking on this point, one Of the
cabinet officers said: You can say for
me that all the powers of Europe and
the heads of all the churches may pro-
pose mediation to Spain if they desire.
but the United States will positively not
listen to mediation of any kind that
does not lead to the acceptance Of our
condition, which is independence for
Cuba" Notwithstanding the many re-
ports of European mediation they as
sumed their first tangible form yester-
day afternoon when at least two of the
foreign establishments in Washington
received official information that an ex-
change Of notes between the great DOW
ers was now in progress with a view to
arriving at basis on which they could
make a joint proposal for mediation.
1t is evident that the exchange has
not yet been productive Of a common
understanding. as the ambassadors and
ministers at Washington have not vet
received instructions to initiate the
movement. Their only information thus
far is that the notes are passing by tel.
egraph between the capitals of Europe.
1t had been understood that France and
Austria were most active in bringing
about this movement. and that Great
Britain had held aloot from it. but il de-
veloped yesterday that the British gov
eminent was also taking part in the ex-
change, and that in case of concerted

WILL ACT WITHOUT M'KINLEY.
If the President Is Not Ready Tomorrow
Congress Will he.

Washington, April 5.-The leaders of
the Republicans of the house and sem
ate who have been pressing for aggres-
sive action on the Cuban question held
several informal meetings yesterday
afternoon looking to the arrangement
of programme for concerted action at
both ends of the Capitol in case the
president is not ready to transmit his
message to congress tomorrow. Sem
ators Davis, Foraker, Cullom, and 9TH
ers were seen by the house Republic
ans, and as a result the committee ap-
pointed by the house Republicans last
Wednesday postponed the meeting of
the conference which was to have been
held last night until Wednesday at II
a. m. At that time, il it is apparent
that longer delay is to be asked, they
are to proceed at both ends of the
Capitol. The senate committee on for
eign relations has agreed informally
on its resolutions, and the Republicans
of the foreign affairs committee of the
house are practically united.
Both will be for armed intervention.
and the blowing up of the Maine will
be feature of each. The house COM
mittee will take strong ground on the
Maine affair. Both committees being
ready to act tomorrow the resolutions
can be brought up in both houses on
that day. Speaker Reed. it is positive
ly stated, will not attempt to block any
programme that has the Endorsement of
majority Of the Republicans of the
house, and when the conference meets
tomorrow. it is said, if the president is
not ready to report the committee will
be able to convince the speaker beyond
cavil that they are not only the ma
jority but large majority.

action by the powers Great Britain
prabably would act with the others. The
general view of the diplomats isthat the
movement is not so much enc toward
reconciling the United States and Spain
as it is to preserve the peace of the
world by combined action.
An arrangement has been reached BY
which the United States and France
will cooperate through their ministers
at Denmark in the establishment of a
public cable station on.the Danish ISL
and of st. Thomas. The cable is owned
by a French company, but its use has
become of vital importance to the Unit
ed States government, owing to the
possible base of naval operations in the
Leeward islands. Secretary Long was
particularly DESTROYS Of having this ca
bic arrangement effected. AS q result of
conferences dispatch was sent to the
United States minister at Copenhagen
asking him to secure the consent of the
Danish government and at the same
time the French authorities arranged
to have their minister at Copenhagen
exert similar influences

repeated. A bill was introduced 70 au-
thorize the resident to erect temporary
Notifications In case of emergency upon
land when the written consent of the
owners was obtained without awaiting
thu long process of legal condemnation.
R.iley insisted that the house should
be informed what reason there was for
all this warlike preparation. and this
started the Cuban eloquence that was
cheered by the galleries when the speak
er warned the galleries To be quiet.
Those galleries." said Bailey. waving
his hands about the thronged galleries.
ARE but a miniature OF the American
people. If congress could face the GAL
leries of the people they would force this
house to action
The speaker then sternly warned the
galleries that If the demonstration was
again repeated he would order them
cleared
"Oh, I think that would hardly be
fair" interposed Steele ofIndiana. 1.-THE
gentleman is only talking to the gal
leries." ILaughterl
1T is better" retorted Bailey. "to
speak to the listening galleries than the
deaf ear of the majority"
The day was devoted to District Of
Columbia business after this incident.

ACTION TO BE TAKEN TOMORROW.
Congress Will Wait No Longer but VIII
Pass War Resolutions.

Washington, April 8. -"wait for
Wednesday" was the word passed
about the Capitol yesterday, and a
general understanding to that effect
was reached. The Republicans will not
initiate, and the Democrats will not try
to force, any action on Cuba until to-
morrow. when the presidents message
will be received. With that under
standing the senate foreign relations
committee did not report and the house
foreign relations took no action yes
terday. 1t is known that the senate
committee has agreed upon a resolu-
ton, practically the Foraker resolution.
declaring independence and interver-
ton, with an amendment fixing the re-
sponsibility for the destruction of the
Maine upon Spain, either by design or
criminal negligence.
The house foreign affairs committee
will report, if possible. a resolution in
line with the presidents recommended
tions, and it is known that efforts are
being made to have the resolutions of
both committees agree with the presi-
dents wishes. The conference of Re-
publican members of the house was
adjourned until II o'clock tomorrow by
the committee in order to await the
message. Both houses discussed the
Cuban situation yesterday, but it was
simply preliminary to the more i'm
portant debate and action to be taken
before the week ends.
Interesting statements are made by
senators ard representatives who
called upon the president yesterday,
and the impression gained from them
was that the message will declare for
independence of Cuba. With the excep-
ton of the purchase of ten steamships
for use for auxiliary cruisers the day
was devoid of development in the
military and naval branches of the gov

Perkins OF California Makes a War Issue
Out of the Maine


Washington. April Sit was openly
charged in the senate yesterday by Per-
kins Of California, in a set speech, that
Spain was responsible for the Maine
disaster; that 1t had been brought
about by. Spanish Vaccinations and
Spanish treachery. The speech of Per-
kins was only one of four prepared
addresses upon the Cuban question de-
livered in the senate yesterday. Clay
of Georgia, while hoping for a peaceful
solution of the problem the country is
now facing, declared strongly in favor
OF independence of the Cubans, and
pledged to the administration the loyal
support of the south. Perkins took sub
stantially the same ground and his Wig
orous treatment Of the Maine disaster
aroused the crowded galleries to en-
thusiastic applause. Mantle Of Mon
tana, while expressing confidence in the
administration, maintained that the
time for action had now arrived and
that action must be to the end that
Cuba should be free Rawlins Of Utah
entirely eliminated the president from
his speech, holding that the case against
Spain was already made up and that
with congress rested the responsibility
of declaring war. For congress to wait
longer was only to invite criticism. He
