Cuban Affairs.

mendations Il Also q Matter Of
Conjecture - Foreign Repre-
sentAtives Confer.

Washington, April 6.--The message
that President Mckinley will send to
congress today makes about 1000
words, and has been approved by the
cabinet. IL recommends armed inter.
vention (but so far as known without
stating that this should be immediately
by the United States TO prevent hostili.
ties and succor for the starving people.
II makes an argument against recogni-
ton Of Independence at this time and
leaves II clear that in the opinion Of the
administration II is the duty Of this gov.
eminent TO supervise the affairs Of the
island until in the light Of fuller and
later knowledge, a stable government
can be established. The attitude Of
congress ON this policy cannot
DO foretold In advance Of It's
official PRONUNCIATION in the presidents
message. The day has been prolific OF
reports Of mediation on the part OF the
European powers, but summary Of all
the news on this point is that the pow.
ers Of Europe cannot agree, and that
their interference would be unaccept-
able TO the government OF the United
States. The safety OF General Lee, our
consuls and other Americans In Cuba is
a matter Of concern TO the state DEPART

great powers Of Europe. These repre-.
sentatives are the British ambassador,
Sir Julian Pauncefote; the French am.
bassador, NJ. Cambon; the German am.
basSador, DIR. won Holleben; the Italian
charge d. affaires, Count Vinci and the
Austrian minister, Mr.. won Hengel.

advised from their foreign offices
and It was expected that a concerted
would b. made almost any
moment.
The Spanish minister, Senior Polo Y
Bernabc did not take part in any Of the
diplomatic conferences nor did he have
occasion TO visit the state department
during the day. II the negotiations
have taken any new direction IL has
been between Minister Woodsord and
the authorities at Madrid and not at
Washington
At the capitol yesterday tremendous
effort was made to have congress sup
port the outlined policy Of the presi-
dent.
a general belief was expressed when
the house adjourned that a majority Of
the house committee on foreign affairs
was ready to support McKinley's plan,
and the impr ssion prevailed that res.
olution In line with the recommenda-
