WAR NEWS SUMMARIZED.

Good Friday passed in Washington with
not a ripple on the surface to show that
the United States are on the brink Of
war.
The Cabinet held it's usual session, but
the meeting brought no change In the
Spanish situation.
The Presidents message remains un-
altered, and Cabinet officers say 1t VIII
be sent to Congress Monday.
What is going on at Madrid gives
slight hope of such Spanish concessions
as will alter the situation.
Preparations for all eventuallties are
being hurried to completion.
General Lee will leave Habana to-
day. The United States Consul at Porto
Rico is also preparing TO leave that post
No instructions have been sent to Min
ister Woodford concerning his with
drawal from Madrid.
The Spanish Minister at Washington
has received no instructions as to his
departure. nor has he made preparations
to go.
Congressmen are trying to evolve a
Cuban resolution on which practical
unanimity can be obtained, and are
meeting with success, IT is reported.
4 much calmer feeling prevailed at
Madrid yesterday. There was an inti-
nation that further negotiations were
being made by the Pope. Perfect order
prevailed in every part Of the city, and
the general talk of the town was peace
full.
DR.. ]. l.. NJ. Curry, former Minister TO
Spain. I'm an interview, says IL is the duty
Of this country TO unite, when positive
policy is announced, and that Cuba is lost
10 the Spanish; but he thinks there is a
strong peace sentiment in this country,
and hopes that good-luck and common
sense on both sides will avert war.
1t is said that General Lee will make
some startling disclosures before the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
concerning the alleged conspiracy for the
blowing up of the Maine.
The Confederate veterans of Washing
ton are preparing a grand ovation for
General Lee on his arrival at the Federal
capitals
