SIGNIFICANT SILENCE.
Message Endorsed by Few-Forakrr has
No Patience With It.

Message Endorsed by FeW-FOrakPr mas
No Patience With 1t.
Washington. April 1.-THE Presidents
message did not after the first reading
receive the endorsement of Il ma
iority of the Senators and many excused
themselves from speaking about it until
they could have time for careful perusal
In general way the objections were
based on the grounds that it did not 90
far enough in recognizing the rights of
the Cubans. A large number of the
Democratic Senators refused to express
themselves at all, as did several Republi
cans on the ground that MS they could
not speak in complimentary terms they
would say nothing at all. One OF the
most significant utterances on the subject
of the message was that of Senator
Foraker, Republican. from the PreSi-
dents own State and a member Of the
Committee on Foreign Relations. He
said: Il have no patience with the mos
sage and you can say So" He refused
to go into details.
Members of the House talked more
freely. Some of the leading Republicans
endorsed the message, while others, in
GLIDING Democrats severely criticised it.
After the adjournment of Congress.
meetings were held on both sides of the
capitol. The Republican members of the
House Foreign AffaiIs Committee held
Il somewhat heated session. but were
unable TO agree on n resolution. The
full Foreign Affairs Committee will meet
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock to con-
slider the message. The Republicans in
the House. who have been insisting on
radical action, may also meet.
There are about sixty Republican
Representatives who have participated
in these conferences, and one Of their
leaders stated tonight that he believed
he correctly represented the majority in
saying that they favored immediate arm
ed Intervention. and declaration tlat
the Cuban people should, and of a right.
ought to he independent of Spanish rule.
',ne Senate Committee on Foreign Re
lations met after the adjournment of the
Senate but reached no conclusion. They
are waiting to examine General Lee who
will be here tomorrow The Republi-
can members of the committee held a
caucus tonight. 1t was stated that a
report would probably be made to-mor-
row.
At the conference Of the Democratic
Senators the message was sharply cr;ti-
cised but no conclusion was reached as
to the course to be pursued.

THE HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
The Message ELECTED No DemOnstra-
ton of Approval or Disapproyal.

Washington, D. c., April 1.-THE
PRESIDENTS message was read in the
House to-day in the presence of vast
assemblage and referred to the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs without de-
bate. There was absolutely no demon
stration either of approval or disapprOv-
al from the crowded galleries through
out, or ut the conclusion of the reading,
but there was sharp burst of applause
from the Republican side, when toward
the close Of the message the President
said the war in Cuba must cease. AT the
conclusion of the reading, about half the
Republicans applauded and several of
the Democrats groaned. After the mes
sage had been referred, the House trans
acted some District of Columbia bust
ness, and then acted upon the Fairchild-
ward contested election case from the
sixteenth New York district, by CON
ilrming Mr.. Wards title to the seat.
Both are Republicans. Little or no in
terest was taken III the proceedings. All
The afternoon the members stood about
III groups discussing the message ana
the probable action of Congress upon It.

sent by pilot to General Blanco:

your whistle will be turned into another
tune"
General Lee tore this note up, however,
and as the pilot was leaving the Fern he
turned to him and gave this verbal mes
sage to Blanco:
