WASHINGTON, April 9.-The privilege
of seeing the presidents message has
been accorded to only four persons
outside the cabinet They are leading
men in the national government, and
it is significant that each of these men
Expresses his personal belief that war
is inevitable. The message recites
Spanish barbarities in Cuba, and goes
over the whole case in detail. Nc
kinley holds Spain responsible for the
destruction of the Maine, for which
she has never expressed regret, nor
even disavowed responsibility. No
recommendation is made as to pro-
cedure, but the case is placed in the
hands of congress with a request for

ALL QUIET IN HAVANA.


sunday Disturbances Did
Not Matcrialize.
Washington, Jan. l7.-GraVe appre-
hensiOn was felt by both the officials
of the state department and those of
the Spanish legation that disturbances
of a more or less serious character
might occur in Havana yesterday, ow-
ing to tGe fact that many persons
otherwise occupied during the week
would be comparatively free to follow
their own inclnations. Advices re-
ceived by Minister De LONE indicated,
however, that Havana was perfectly
tranquil. AS a pTecautio1ary meas
ure General Blanco had ctrefully pro-
vided against trouble, but 50 far as
surface indications went the precau-
necessary. The advices were that the
better judgment of the people was up
permost. Good feeling prevailed gem
orally throughout the city, and no dis
turbances We're anticipated.
State department officials received no
word from Havana, and they accepted
this as an indication that no trouble
had occurred or was anticipated. They
regard the riOting Of last week as mere
~ furry which spent its forge in the
few hours il lasted. General Lee is
under instruc ions TO notify the depart
ment promptly of anything unusual OF
in the least way threatening, and the
fact that no dispatch was received
from him clearly indicates that the city
is practically absolutely quiet.
