THE MESSAGE COMPLETE
Presidents Discussion of the
Question Most Vigorous
and Emphatic.
Recommends Recognition of
Cuba and Declares for
Intervention.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The two
foremost branches Of the Cuban ques-
ton in Washington during the day
were the presidents message and Euro
pean mediation, which now has taken
an active form in the courts of Europe,
according to advices received at foreign
embassies here, though no proffer has
been made to the United States. Re-
garding the first, it can be stated that
it is fully expected by the administra-
ton that the message will be sent to
congress certainly by Thursday. Mem
bers of Mr.. McKinley's cabinet and his
friends in congress stated definitely
that it will deal vigorously with the
question, will
Include the Maine Incident
and make definite recommendations to
congress, one Of which will be recogEi-
ton Of independence. AS to the medi-
alton of Europe or the pope they de-
clare that these material and moral
powers must exercise their suasion on
Spain for this government will insist
on independence Of Cuba as an ulti-
mate sine qua non, unless the i'll
surgents themselves should consent to
less, and this they have fatty refused
to do. Speaking on this point one of
the cabinet officers said:
"You can say for me that all the
powers of Europe and the heads of all
the churches may propose mediation to
Spain if they desire, but the United
States will positively not listen to me-
diation of any kind that does not lead
to the acceptance of our condition,
which is independence for Cuba"
Cabinet Discusses the Message.
A special cabinet meeting was held,
lasting from to II o'clock, and the
message was thoroughly discussed.
Secretary Long apparently had been
deputed as spokesman for the meeting,
but would say nothing beyond the fact
that the message was completed. 1t
was learned from other sources, how.
ever, that the message is in part a re-
view of Spain's course in the present
anu previous wars III Ouud' AHdo IL

tons may be inferred from the remark
of one member. "While I can say
nothing explicit concerning the details
of the message" said he, Il may say
that it is strong, explicit statement
and one with which congress will be
thoroughly in accord

Foraker resolution, but nothing more
explicit could be OBJ aimed.

DID NOT OFFER TO MEDIATE

Pope Has Asked Spain to Arrange for
Suspension of Hostilities.
ROME, April Sit is stated in Vati-
ran circles that the pope has not for
mally offered to mediate between Spain
md the United States, because he has
not been requested to do so by that
government It is true, however, that
the pontiff has conveyed to Madrid his
ardent wish for the avoidance of con.
fict, and has asked Spain to arrange
for suspension of warlike measures or
decisions.
The Vatican refuses to publish the
text of the communications which
have passed between the pontiff and
Madrid, but the statement that his
holiness has asked Spain to arrange for
suspension of hostilities in Cuba is
confirmed.

Question of European Mediation Coming
to the Front.
WASHINGTON, April 5. - Notwith.
standing the many reports of European
mediation they assumed their first
tangible form during the afternoon,
when at least two Of the foreign estab.
lishments in Washington received off,
cial information that an exchange Of
NOES between the great powers was
now in progress with view to arriving
at LASTS on which they could make
joint proposal for mediation. 1t is evil
dent that the exchange has not yet
been productive OF a common under
standing, as the ambassadors and min
listers at Washington have not yet
received instructions to act. Their
only information thus far is that the
notes are passing by telegraph between
the capitals of Europe 1t had been
understood that France and Austria
were most active in
Bringing About Tn Movement,
and that Great Britain had held aloof
from it, but it developed during the
day that the British government was
also taking part in the exchange. and
that in case of concerted action by the
powers, Great Britain probably would
act with the others.
What common ground the powers are
seeking to reach can only be con-
jectured. The Spanish government
seems to be hopeful of results from
this movement. and this inspired addi-
tional ground for the belief that it will
not be regarded with favor by tue
United States The general view of
the diplomats is that the movement is
Sot so much one toward reconciling
the United States and Spain as it is to
