 The President makes much of the Maine disaster in his message.
 He fully appreciates the feeling of the country on this point and is convinced that the first treatment of this phase of the subject in his message will meet with the hearty approval Of every pa triotic citizen. He does not regard 1t as a casus belli in the full sense of that term, but he does consider that 1t forms the final link in the strong chain of evil dence which proves conclusively Spain s mismanagement in Cuba and her in ability not only to contro- tht internal affairs on the island, but to protect the vessels of friendly nations visiting her harbors
 In other words, 1t furnishes the final cause for intervention if not for war.
 So vigorous is the Presidents ar raignment of Spain and so complete the arguments in favor of our right to in- tervene to end the war that the Presi- dent, after his message is made public, is satisfied that continuance of our dip lonatic relations with Spain is no longer possible Accordingly, all necessary ar engagements have been perfected for the withdrawal of our diplomatic represen- tatives from Spain and from Cuba inn mediately upon the submission of the document to Congress.
 The first steps toward breaking off diplomatic relations will probably be inaugurated by Spain.
 As soon as the message becomes public and the Spanish Government is advised of it's contents, it is as- stunned that the Madrid authorities will recall Minister Polo de Bernabe.

 There will be some debate in botf houses and there is reason to believe that it will be several days at least be fore the resolution IS finally sent to the President for his signature. It ha. been asserted that the President wa. anxious to have prolonged debate so a, to allow further time for possible SO lution of the difficulties.
 can state authoritatively, how ever, that neither the President nol any member of his Cabinet is doing anything to delay action by Con gress. On the contrary, the Presi dent believes that the time for actio, which he contemplates in his mes sage has arrived.
 Advocates of the immediate recogni ton of Cuban independence are layin, great stress on the argument that tn, Cuban insurgents do not want interven tion unless it is preceded by the recog nition of their independence. and it i said they will resent intervention with <" out recognition
 Speaking of this phase of the ques ton, Senor Quesada, representative o : the Cuban Junta in Washington, said t, me this evening: "We are perfectly sat isfed with the course of the President a outlined in the morning papers. o course we should like to be recognized but we have no right to dictate the pol icy of the President, and in any case will be only question of short tim until recognition comes.
