Washington, April 6.-That the presl-

10y was the best information obtain
able in Washington last evening,
through the kaleidoscope of internal
events appears to be moving so rapidly
1t Madrid as to make possible some
Aew and possibly remarkable change
In the aspect of affairs that will pre-
vent this statement holding good. The
message Is ready, makes about 1000
words, and has been approved by the
cabinet. 1t recommends armed inter-
vention, but so far as known without
stating that this should be immediate
by the United States, to prevent hos
fiiities and succor for the starving peo-
pie. 1t makes an argument against
recognition of independence at this
time, and leaves it clear that in the
Rpinion Of the administration 1t Is the
duty Of the government 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 be foretold in advance of its
pficial promulgation in the presidents
message.

The Booth Tragedy.

manager WHO'S suspected of having shot
Laura Booth, tho actress in the New Am
sterdam Hotcl, on March 2S.
Mrs. Brown heard the pistol shot soon
after Mr. Swan, who occupied the room
adjoining MIS-. Booths heard sound
which he thought was caused by falling
tray, but which no now believes to have
been the report of n pistol Two small
knob, and Il similar stain on the wall near
by, are believed 10 be important links in
the chain. Cnptsin lIasslachcr has had

europe cannot agree, and that their
Interference would be unacceptable to
the government of the United States
Throughout the day unusual activity
was manifest at the foreign embassies
and legations representing the great
powers of Europe These representa-
uVes are the British ambassador. Sir
Julian Pauncefote: the French am
bassador, M. Cambon; the German am
bassador. DR.. Won Holleben: the Ital-
Ian charge d'affaires, Count Vinci and
the Austrian minister. Mr.. Won Hengel-
muller. These officials were kept fully
advised from their foreign Offices. and
1t was expected that a concerted move
ment would be made almost any mo-
ment. About midday the British am
bassador went to the French embassy
and conferred with M. Cam1on on the
situation. and shortly after Count Vincl
was at the British embassy. Again, at
o'clock it was understood that the
French ambassador and Austrian min
lister conferred with Sir Julian at the
British embassy. But while conferences
were thus going on, and apprehension
was keen over an anticipated move, it
that any actual offer of mediation had
eyentuated. 1t certainly had not been
made up to the close of Office hours at
the state department.
The German ambassador. DR. Won
Holeben, appears to be the only one
Rot actively participating in the con-
ferences, but there is reason to believe
he is kept fully advised on the senti-
ments at Berlin concerning the Spanish
situation. Accompanying the diplo-
matte comment was an uniercurrent
ofsuEgestiOn that developments in Cuba
were not unlocked for. and that the
pressure of the powers and the pope on
Spain might yet bring about an armis-
tice in which both Spanish troops and
insurgents would participate Viewed
from the official standpoint here. tho
time for that has gone by. and there
Is little likelihood that the insurgents
could be induced to lay down their
arms even for time.
The Spanish minister, Sennr Polo de-
Beranbe, did not take part in any of
tbs diplomatic conferences nor did he
have occasion to visit the state depart
msnt during the day. If the negotta-
tlo)S nave ldktr any new erection It

Urging support For the President.
At the Capitol yesterday tremendous
lffort was made to have congress SUD-
port the outlined policy of the presi-
dent. A general belief was expressed
when the house adjourned that d ma
joiity of the house committee on for

McKlnlsy's plan. and the impression
prevailed that resolution in line with
the recommendations of the president
would be reported from the committee.
