Washington, April 4.-The President

These win go to the committee on foreign

careful reading and discussion Of the
draft Of the Presidents message. Every

MURDER IN BOSTON.
Drug Clerk Stabbed BY An Unknown Mar
Under United States Hotel.

Boston, April 4.-Charles L. RUSSELL a
drug clerk, IS years old, was fatally
stabbed this evening by an unknown
man in Chapin's drug store under the
United States hotel. Russell's S assailant
was seen and pursued by half u dozen
men who happened to be en- the street
when he dashed from the store, but he
succeeded in eluding them. Russell at
tempted to follow but fell on the sidewalk
and died in few minutes.
The murder took place at 8 O'Clock this
evening when the streets in the vicinity
were well filed with people Those near
the store saw Russell struggling with o
man in his endeavor to apparently push
him from the store. The two men, how
ever. reached the street very quickly and
then Russell was seen to fall on his face
on the sidewalk, while the unknown man
started down Beach street on the run.
Three young men who were quite near
the store and saw the struggle between
the two men instead of running to the
Drostrate form of Russell started after his
supposed assailant. They almost reached
him when he suddenly turned and pull
ing two revolvers from his pocket ordered
them TO stand back. They stopped at once
before the desperate man just as he
started a4S1Q Gn6y DFaVSly followed IN
pursuit The chase led them down Utica
street to the Boston 81 Albany railroad
station through which the man ran until
he reached the end of the train she'd.
Here the man doubled ON his pursuers
and running through the freight yards
disappeared toward the South End.
In the meantime Russell had been con-
yeyed back to the store but he was dead
even before he was lifted from the side
walk.
A hasdy examination revealed deep
knife wound in the abdomen which un-
doubtedly severed an artery. Mr.. Chaplin,
the proprietor of the store, arrived shortly
after and after hasty examination stated
that while the man might have been try
ing to rob the store no cash was missing.
Later in the evening the police arrested
a man who gave his name as Charles
Brown on suspicion. but the three men
who chased Russell's assaiIant failed to
identify him. AS there was no one in
the store at the time of the assault the
circumstances leading to it are unknown
and until the missing man is appre-
hended will probably not be known.
Russell was hard working, faithful
clerk and as far is Known had no enemies.
He was married and made his home in
Roslindale.

WILL FAVOR INTERVENTION.
President Likely to Take This Course in
His Message.

Washington, April A leading ad-
a conference at the White House today
said:
"The message win so into Congress
about Wednesday. The. President has
taken very firm and determined atti,
tude and he means TO carry out that poll
cy to the letter. The President intends
to recognize Cuban independence and
may go further than that and propose
intervention.
1t is altogether probable that the Presi.
DENTS message will not be sent in before
Wednesday.
The general features of the message
have been decided upon.
The President, it is learned. will favor
a recommendation of independence and
forcible Intervention If necessary to pre-.
vent further hostilities in Cuba.
Spain's answer In effect will be declared
to be unsuccessful and to leave little
or no reasonable ground for hope that
a satisfactory settlement Of the Cuban
question is at all likely to be reached
through diplomatic agencies.
The President will favor intervention
anu Ills MCsSitSo Will 1EaKe no TeColu-
mendations or suggestions in conflict with
that idea. z
The disaster to the Maine will be
prominently brought to the fore and
will be treated in vigorous manner.
The whole subject, it is believed. will
be discussed in spirit of patriotism
that must recommend itself to the en-
tire American people.
This policy, however, it is said, does
1,o rQcpSSaTiIv inVnlva hlt lQaUae
the determination of that question To
Spain herself.
Unless something now unexpected
happens within a comparatively short
time, the indications point to at least a
show of force against Havana.

Washington, April 4.--The two fore
most branches of the Cuban question in
Washington today were the Presidents
message and European mediation which
now has taken form in the courts of
Europe, according to advices received at
foreign embassies here, though no proffer
has been made to the United States.
Regarding the first, it can be stated that
1t is fully expected by the administration
that the message VIII be sent to Congress
Wednesday, Members of Mr.. D Nc
Kinley's cabinet and his friends in Con
gress stated definitely today that it will
deal vigorously with the question, will
include the Maine incident and will
make definite recommendations to Con-
gress, one of which will be this recognit.
ion of Cuban independence. AS to the
mediation of Europe or the Pope, they
declare that the material and moral pow
ers must exercise their suasion on Spain,
for this gov rnment will insist on the
ofCuba as an ultimate since
qua non unless the insurgents themselves
should consent to less, and this they have
fatty refused to do. q
Speaking to this point d one Of the
cabinet officers said today:
'sYou can say for me that all the pow
ers Of Europe and the beads of all the
churches may propose mediation to Spain
if they desire, but the United States will
positively not listen to mediation of any
kind that does not lead to the acceptance
of our condition which is the indepen-
dence of Cuba.
Notwithstanding the many reports OF
European mediation, they assumed their
first tangible form this afternoon when
at least two of the foreign embassies in
Washington received official information
that an exchange of notes between the
great powers was. now in progress with
q view to arriving at basis on which
they could make joint proposal for
mediation. It. is evident that the ex-
change has not yet been productive of
a common understanding, as the ambas-
sadors and ministers at Washington nave
not vet received instructions TO initiate
the movement. Their only information
thus far is that the note are passing by
telegraph between the capitals of Europe.
1t had been understood that France and
Austria were most active IN brlnglng
about this movement and that Great
Britain had held alCof from 1T. but it
developed today that the British gov
ernment was also taking part in the ex-
change and that in case of concerted
action by the powers Great Britain
would act with the others. What COM
mon grounds the powers are seeking to
reach can only be conjectured Tie

Good,

Havana, April AT this Wrl1lng,
10. M, there is nothing exciting nor
even interesting on foot There are
plenty of rumors current such. for ex-
ample, as that the delay OF President Mo-
Kinley in sending message to Congress
proves likely that the Pope is acting as
mediator in the whole Spanish question;
that the foreign powers have intervened
by diplomatic methods and that the in
suraents in Pinar Del Rio and Matanzas
have notified the Spanish authorities
that they will observe an armiftice until
the question between Madrid and Wash
inrton are definitely settled.

however, think that If that common un.
derstanding were reached by ths great
powers of Europe such SUGGESTIONS as
those combined powers might make
could not be lightly set aside. The gens
eral view Of the diplomats Is that the
nlovement is not SO much one toward
reconeiling the United States and Spain
as it is to preserve the peace OF the
world by combined action.
Sir Julian Panncefote, the British am.
