Washington, April 6.-The president
has completed his Cuban message and
it will be presented to congress on
"Wednesday. Secretary Long, after
the special cabinet meeting last night,
authorized the Associated Press to
make this statement.
The message, which, in itself, is long,
will not be accompanied by the con-
sular reports dealing with the state Of
affairs in Cuba These will go to- the
committee on foreign relations of the
senate for their private information
and will not be made public just now.
The diplomatic correspondence be-
tween the United States and Spain
will not be submitted at present. When
the meeting was over and the members
dispersed there was a general air OF
relief and Sat;sfa ctiOn on all faces as
though the air had been cleared Of
doubt and the members firmly resolved
on what they deemed the proper course
of action, had set out to follow tho
course to it's logical conclusion. The
suspense evidently was over. AS to
the character of the message Secretary
Long refused to speak. 1t was learned
from other sources, however, that the
message is in part review Of Spain's
course in the present and previous
wars in Cuba. That it will contain
some definite recommendations may be
inferred from the remark of one men,
Der: while 1 can say nothing eX-
plicit concerning the details of the
message, may say that it is strong,
explicit statement, and one with which
congress will be thoroughly in accord"

this inspired additional ground for the
belief that it will not be regarded with
favor by the United States. The dip
lomats, however, think that if a COM
mon understanding was reached by the
great powers of Europe such Sugges-
tons as these combined powers might
make could not be lightly set aside.
The general view Of the diplomats is
that the movement is not so much one
toward reconciling the United States
and Spain as it is to
Preserve che Peace -
of the world by combined action.
Spain's policy in this matter is one of
urging on the European powers that
if Cuba was free from Spanish SOW
ereigDty the next move under the
Monroe doctrine would be to bring an
end of European control over other
West Indian possessions. Great Brit
ain, France and Denmark have inter-
ests in that locality In other quarters
it was stated that the influence of the
powers was more likely to be exerteo
on Spain in urging her to the largest
possible measure of concession. An
arrangement was reached during the
day by which the United States and
France will cooperate through the
ministers at Denmark in the establish
ment Of a public cable station on the
: Danish Island Of st. Thomas. The
cable is owned by a French company,
but its use has become of vital impor-
lance to the United States government
owing to the possible base of naval OPP
erations in the LeeWard islands.
.Wait for Wednesday," was the
word passed about the capitol and q
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

MINES FALLING SHORT.

The shortage sure to be me-
with on the estimated produc-
ton of certain mines continues
to be the feature of the ore sit
uation, and its bearing on lake
freights is appreciated also,
says the Iron Trade Review
From time to time the scarcity
of miners at individual proper
ties has been noted through the
season. The extent of the diver
sion of labor to other employ
ments, temporarily in some cases
permanently in others, is now
made evident in a cumulative
way. Recent purchases for Chi:
:cago, amounting to 200,0 900 tons,
were TO- replace Mesabas ores
that cannot be mined before the
end of the season, and one Go
.gebic property of a consuming
interest will fall short consider
ably. The grain movement,
while not what was expected
thus far, has advanced ore rates
a trifie. The Chicago rate on
corn advanced to II cts, which
brought Escanaba ore up to SO
cents. Sixty cents was paid
Tuesday from the head of the
lakes, which would make the
Marquette rate S. cents. At
most Lake Erie docks there is as
great Q scarcity of cars for ore
as was noticed a year ago, after
the coal strike, and the proper
ton Of dock ore is increasing.

MIR. 1UWNE DIFFERS.

There has been q deafening
clamor on the part of certain re-
publican papers and an accentu
ated accord of ''ayes" from mum:
erous republican leaders in their
claim that the silver cause was a
dead issue and had sunk into a
state of inocuoas desuetude as a
political factor, but the Hon. G..
A. Towne does not fully coincide
with these views of his political
adversaries, as evidenced by his
addreas to the people Of Virginia
at Crockett's Opera House on
Tuesday evening, where for two
hours he talked free coinage with
that same zest which character
lied his campaign addresses OF
'96, and which he evidently holds
in high esteem as q campaign
issue in the present contest. He
again threshed the same bundle
of straw that was used in '96, MOI
wearied in his reiterated compar'
isons of the changing policies
of republican platforms.
On other issues Mr.. Town@
spoke but briefly, touching with
a certain degree of egotism upo1
his congressional record. Hi,
closing remarks dealt with tn,
state and county tickets. Hi
customary eloquencewas lacking
in q marked degree, his address
being shortened owing to an az
/ gravatings sore throat. He wa
greeted by q crowded. house, tn
vast audience containing score
OF voters Of opposite politica
affiliations.
