Washington. April 1.-THE preparation OF his
Message 10 Congress begun by President
Mckinley at a comparatively early hour ms
morning, after long conferences with his Cabinet
advisers and public men on the lines 1t should
take in order that the position OF the Govern
ment may stand forth in a clear. intelligent and
justinable way before present and futur" gen
c-atiOns. The course pressed most urgently on
the President has been recognition or the IN
dependence of cuba and Intervention AT once
THIS has been urged especially by Senator'S ana
members Of the House. The President has list-
ened 10 all these views. but has not expressed
his own so freely.
Auprecating the wish OF Congress that the
Message be transmitted TO that body at the
earliest practicable moment. and the fact that
a document Of its grave significance requires
the utmost deliberat!on. he determined 10 put
aside all except the mos. important matters
until the Message had been completed with
this object In view he denied himself 70 a long
line Of callers to-day. but saw number or per
SONS whose knowledge and experience might be
Of service TO him in his task.
