HFOFGible Intervention /!
THE PRESIDENT TO CONGRESS.

President Mckinley yesterday sent
message to Congress. recommending for
chile intervention in Cuba, the grounds
therefor being briefly summarized as
follows
First Inthe cause of humanity and to
put an end to the baFbariies, bloodshed,
starvation and horrible miseries now exist
ing there. and which the parties to the
conflict are either unable or unwilling to
stop or mitigate. 1t is no answer to say
this is all in another country. belonging
to another nation, and is. therefore, none
of our business.
It's specifically our duty, for it isright
at our door.
Second. We owe it to our citizens in
Cuba to afford them that protection and
indemnity for life and property which no
government there can or will afford, and
to that end to terminate the conditions
that deprive them of legal protection.
Third. The right to intervene may be
justified by the very serious injury to the
commerce, trade and business of our peo-
pie and by the wanton destruction of
property and devastation of the island.
Fourth, and which is one of the utmost
Importance. The present condition of
affairs in Cuba is constant menace to
our peace, and entails upon this govern
ment an enormous expense. With such
a conflict waged for years in an island so
near us and with which our people have
such trade and business relations when
the lives and liberty of our citizens are in
constant danger and their property de
stroyed and themselves ruined-where
our trading vessels are liable to seizure
and are seized at our very door, by war
ships of foreign nation, the expeditions
of flibustering that we are powerless to
prevent altogether, and the irritating
questions and entanglements thus arising
all these and others that Ineed not men,
ton, with the resulting strained relations
are constant menace to our peace and
compels US to keep on semi-war footing
with nation with which we are at peace.
The President says in conclusion:
In view of these facts and of those con-
siderations, ask the Congress to author
ize and empower the President to take
measures to secure full and final termi-
nation of hostilities between the govern.
ment of Spain and the people of Cuba,
and to secure in the Island the estab fish.
ment of stable government capable OF
maintaining ord er and observing its in.
ternational obligations, insuring peace
and tranquility and the security of its
citizens as well as our own. and to use
the military and naval forces of the
United States as may be necessary for
those purposes.
The issue is now with the Congress. 1t
is solemn responsibility. have ex-
hausted every effort to relieve the intol-
cradle condition of affairs which is at
our doors. Prepared to execute every
obligation imposed upon me by the Con-
stitution and the law, await your action.

March was very mild month. but
last week winter Topped down in the lap
of spring with a terrible vengeance.
Snow and ice was the order of things for
awhile, and budding fruittrees caught
particular fits, much to the chagrin of
those who were the happy possessors of
full blooming apricot, cherry and other
early fruit bearing trees.

The Spanish minister in Washington
delivered to the State Department Sun
day night an important official document
from his government. 1t was stated in
this document that the armistiee which
the Queen Regent of Spain had COM
manded General Blanco to proclaim was
without conditions; that her Majesty's
government had granted liberal institu-
tons to Cuba, which the Cuban Parlia-
ment will put into operation and develop.
The coincidence aad sympathy expressed
by the Queen Regent and her govern
ment at the loss of the Maine and the
horror the disaster had caused in Spain
are referred to. and an appeal is made tc
the United States government to enlight.
en- public opinion in this country upon the
attitude of Spain. The note repeats the
offer of the Spanish government to sub.
NIT the Maine question to experts desig
mated by the maritime powers of the
world and to accept their findings.
