M'KINLEYS PLAN
Is Said to Be to Get Possession
of Cuba First.

Washington, April S.-The opinion in
the senate and house is that war must
come Even the most optimistic of the
conservative senators have given up
hope of a peaceful settlement.
A great deal of consideration is being
given by senators and representatives
to the form of action. On this point
there is a wide divergence of opinion
but it has assumed two distinct propo-
sitions One is the recognition of indie
pendence of the island, coupled with
armed intervention to drive out the
Spaniards, and the other armed inter
vention with a declaration that Cuba
shall be free.
The desire on the part of those favor
ing the latter plan is to avoid recognize
ing the insurgents and their govern
ment or any government until after the
United States has control of the island.
The latter plan is said to be that of the
president and efforts are being made to
have it adopted, so there will be no di-
vision between the executive and legis-
lative branches of the government.

official correspondence which he should
have at any time with the Spanish govern
ment and this permission is effective to-
day. The Spanish government is at COM
plete liberty to publish every word he has
ever addressed to the foreign office, by
letter, memorandum or statement.
1.-The second secretary of the American
legation has sailed for New York to re
sumo the practice of his profession. He
has resigned from the diplomatic service.
The American minister's wife left with
her niece for Paris Wednesday night She
is in poor health and the excitement of
the past fortnight has compelled her to
seek absence and rest. The daughter of
the minister will remain with him at
Madrid. He has not given up his resi-
dence, where he expects to reside as long
as he shall remain accredited to the Span
iSh court.
THE American minister has received
nothing but courtesy from the people at
Madrid. He has never had the slightest
apprehension as to his personal security
or that of his family. He is working for
peace and, despite all rumors to the con-
trary, he still hopes peace will be kept
between Spain and the United States and
that peace will soon be re-established in
Cuba, based upon absolute justice with
protection for the great American inter-
ests in that island and the maintenance
of the honor of Spain.
