pected to cable the department some new developments by tomorrow. Min ister Woodford's optimistic views are shared to some extent by certain mem bers of the administration. The peace members of the Cabinet fully acquiesced in the vigorous policy outlined by the President in his message, because they believe that an aggressive attitude might induce Spain to yield to the demands of America These men hope that Con- gress when it declares for forcible in tervention will authorize" rather than direct the President to take action, be- cause they think when Spain once sees that the President has power it will yield to our demands before 1t becomes necessary to use 1t.
 There are very few public men in Washington tonight, however, who look for a peaceful outcome With the excited conditions in Cuba they can see the possibility of many developments which will bring on war before Con- gress even has chance to declare for intervention

CONSUL LEE SEES
 NO PRESENT DANGER.
It Will Take Almost a Week to Get
 All the American Consuls Out of Clba

WASHINGTON, April 5-Informa- tion received at the State Department from Consul General Lee at Havana does not indicate that he regards him. self or the other consular officials in Cuba in any special danger at this time, and in reply to the suggestion that it might be expedient for him to hasten his departure, he has informed the department that about ten days would be necessary for the Consuls throughout the island to arrange for their departure, except in case of emergency. No definite action has yet been taken In regard to the removal of the Consuls, but it seems probable that they will be recalled within the next day or two The Government has given General Lee instructions to see to the safety of our own Consuls and all Americans in Cuba, and has given him full authority to go to what ever expense is necessary, including the hire of vessels that may be neces- Sary to secure this end.
 Secretary Lone was asked late this afternoon if he had received any ad- vices from Havana indicating a neces- sity for postponing the Presidents message, to which he replied, NO, the message will go to Congress to- morrow"

Special Dispatch to The Call.

KEY WEST, Fla, April 5.-Com- munication by steamer between Key West and Havana is about to be closed. The regular mail steamer Mascotte of the Plant line, plying be- tween this point and Havana, makes her final trip tonight, to return to- morrow night. Upon her arrival here from Tampa Captain Hanlon, her com- mander, found instructions awaiting him outlining his movements for the next twenty-four hours.
 The crew of the Mascotte, now com posed chiefly of Spaniards, is to be inn mediately discharged and Americans substituted Many of these have served continuously on the vessel for several years, being desirable during quarantine season on account of being immune from yellow fever, thus per- hitting the steamer to have free pas sage throughout the quarantine season.
 Upon the arrival of the Mascotte at Havana tomorrow, she is to be placed under the immediate orders of Consul General Lee, with instructions to SuS- pend every quarantine regulation and take on board, to the utmost limit Of the steamers carrying capacity, every passenger who desires to take passage, regardless of his nationality.

MEXICAN SYMPATHY
 IS WITH AMERICA.
Rejoicing at Aguas Calientes Over a Report That War Had Been
 Declared,

FL PASO, April 5.-A dispatch from Aguas Calientes, one of the principal cities of Mexico, says that a report that the United States had declared war against Spain was circulated there yes terday and that the news was received with every manifestation of joy by the entire population, the event being eel ebrated in the evening bv bonfires and displays of fireworks. Travellers from Mexico say this is illustrative of the sentiment throughout the republic. The Spaniards in Mexico, while wealthy as class, are few in numbers. The sym pathies of the masses of the Mexicans are strongly with the United States.

 fore Him. It Is Said That One Thousand People Win Start

 Sunday.
Copyrighted. 1898. by James Gordon Bennett.

HAVANA, April 5.-For some reason the opinion is generally held by Spaniards that American Consul Gen eral Lee will leave the consulate on Thursday, turning his affairs over to British Consul Gullin. Americans have been notified from the consulate that they are to leave at once. The Mascot will tomorrow carry the largest list of passengers ever known to the boat. The laws limit will be exceeded by probably fifty, and from 25O to $50 will go.
 A request was cabled to-day for two extra boats, and the Olivette will be here on Thursday accompanied prob ably by the Florida. These will carry from 800 to 600 between them Besides these there are the Fern, MangroVe and Bache. These are for General Lee and the attaches of the consulate. newspaper correspondents and the few native born Americans who are actual residents here
 The OriZaba will carry a full quota of passengers when she leaves to- morrow evening so that the next two days will see not less than 1000 leaving Havana for American shores. Another thousand will go before Sunday 1T possible. All of these will not be Americans, the raising of the quaran- tine having thrown open the gates to all those who wish to depart.
 General Lee will probably go on the Fern, which will carry from 75 to 100 passengers. The Bache and MangroVe will carry about forty each.
 All these arrangements have been openly made and have done much to convince the public that the real crisis is close at hand.
 This being the case, the city Is re- markedly quiet and self-contained. There is no disorder, no demonstration. Americans are treated with the same courtesy shown them during all the trying months of the winter. but while this is true, there is no cessation of patriotic fervor The streets have al- most a gala day appearance. Ladies are out parading without the shade of care to be seen in their faces. The men chat pleasantly as they watch the drilling of volunteers on the prado. The shops are open and are filled with purchasers The city is one glare of light, martial music fills the air, and the clanking of arms is heard, giving the only tinge of war to a scene which otherwise would be as pleasant as one could wish to see.
