WASHINGTON, JAM. 24.-The fact IL
too apparent to be disputed that the
administration and the leaders in Con-
gress who are trying to hold a con-
sentative course are rendered appre-
hensive by the persistent effort to
keep the Cuban question aglow in
congress. The discussion in the House
has contributed to the danger of tbs
situation. Between bot-headed Span
iards In Cuba and impatient patriots
In Congress there Is undou bted danger
OF such friction as might cause a
blaze. Every effort Of the administra-
tion is being directed toward paci6ca-
ton, but the difficulties are great and
the danger ever present to o greater
or less degree.
Republicans who have obeyed tho
decree OF party policy and prevented
oelligerency recognition on the dipio-
matte bill are still grumbling and ex-
pressing their impotence to get a.
chance to vote their sentimenta This

the utterances Of the floor Of tho
House contribute to the complication
Of the situation and render it neces.
sary that proper military precautions
should be taken. .'H.
A rumor was started yesterday, and
afterward denied, hat the President
was going TO send a special message to
Congress asking an appropriation of
$1,000, 900 for tho transportation Of
troops In case OF necessity.
The denial disposes of this story,
but IT Is true that General Miles has
called the attention Of members Of
the House military committee to the
d~efenseless condition OF Washington.
on account of the lack of powder and
projectiles or the money TO buy them
for Forts Monroe, Foote and Washing
ton, which guard the approach to
Washington by the Potomac
1t Is said that one Of the reasons
why the administration is opposed to
changing its policy Of non .interven-
ton In the Cuban troubles Is duesto a
feeling that the country is not pre-
pared for al with ever so weak a
power as Spain is currently represent
