at tl:e Capital.
Wask1!;gton, April '. A eableanin;
from Consul General Lee received tiuny
morning announces that 300 AmericaM
have taken thoir departure from, the
island and that all is quiet in Havana.
After a conference with the president,
Representative. Grosvenor stated today
that, there would be no change of any
importance at least in the moesago in
tended for submission yesterday unless
there is a change of facts, which is not
at all likely.
The intimation given out at Madrid
yesteroay to tne enecc tnat tne queen
regent was about to proclaim an armis
tice in Cuba and that the indications
were that the Spanish government
would make important concessions look
ing to the establishment of peace on a
basis of practical Cuban independence,
is regarded in official circles here as a
diplomatic play to gain time. A high
official said : So far as this government
is concerned, diplomacy has rnn its
course. 2fo negotiations of any charac
ter are now planning nor will they be
resumed except at the solicitatiou.of
Spain, and for tho stated purpose of
carrying into effect tho demands of this
government already communicated to
the Madrid authorities. The president
remains firm in his determination to
forcibly intervene in Cuba if necessary
to put an end to hostilities and to. se
cure tranquillity and a niore stable
government cn tho island. Informa
tion from a high source clearly inti
mates that a naval demonstration
against Havana has been considered,
and is almost certain to, be made within
the next few days unless Spain yields,
and if this demonstration results in war
the president is ready to meet the issue.
A cabinet officer said today: "Whv
are we hurrying Americans out. of
Cuba, except that their lives will bo in
dangot after the president's message
bas gone to congress, and his purposes
fully known to the Cubans, that is the
reason, and tho only one."
This rrovernment. it is further stated.
has learned to distxpaWniuchthat
comes, even from official sources at
Madrid, and from now on actions, and
not words, a nieniber-of tho cabinet de
clared, will determine our policy.
Spain to Bo Held Pur Mulao Affair.
Washington, April 7. Despite the
fact that thousands upon thousands of
peoplo who remained in tho lines which
clamored for admission to tho galleries
yesterday in the hope of hearing the
president's message, at last turned
away weary and exhausted when the
announcement tamo that no message
would bo sent to congress until Mon
day, many of them were back in their
places hoars before the house and sen
ate convened today. But the great
strain under which the public and tho
membera liave been laboring for days
has taken some of the edge off their
eagerness, it is realized tnat for a fow
days more they must await tho course
of evenfs. Many public men regard
the situation astmore critical than-aver.
The talkan proclaiming an armistice by
jgmm79$y assert, .is futile unless
theNineneafe accept iSe.
of Spanish sovereieniy-oTor t
island
mast come, they believe, or
our pep-
'gram will be carried out.
L'Batevcn if the Cuban question is
settl d to tho satisfaction of" this gov
ernment," said Senator Carter (Mon.)
today, "there will still remain the
Maine affair. That is an extremely
ugly question for Spain to meet. Tho
people are very much wrought up over
the assassination of our sailors in a
friendly port, and they will demand a
satisfactory settlement on that score.

was presented in the great hall of the
honee of representatives jast before the
house met. Tier upon tier of people,
from gallery rail to wall, stretched in
an unbroken line, to the pit. where
members sit. Upon the isfme of the
day the. tens of thousands who swarmed
to the capital believed depended peace
or war. - On the floor the greatest ex
citement' and activity prevailed. The

fairs was nieetimr. In tho old
hall, the "reconcentrados," as the
publicans who have been urgent for ac
tion have been called, were discussing
tho latest phase of' the situation with
Rfnmiv -words. Everywhere was the
militant SDirit which comes with events
t.bntstir the blcod and aaickea the
nulse.
It having been arranged last Friday
that the army reorganization bill should
be a special order for today (not to inter
fere with a reDorfc from- tno committee
on foreign affairs), the speaker recog
nized Mr. Hull, chairman of the mill
tary affairs committee, to call it up.
A wrangle followed as to whether the
bill should bo considered in committee
of the whole or in tho house and as to
tho limits of the debate. The galleries
watched thece preliminaries impatiently
but with interest as the leaders on botn
sides, Mr. Dingley and Mr Bailey and
others uarticioated in tho sparring. It
was finally agreed that- tho bill should
be considered in the house but all efforts
to arrange a limit upon the debate failed
owing to tho objection of Mr. Ma
(rep., HI.) who is one of tho most belli
cose members upon the floor.
A feeling of tho greatest disappoint
ment was manifested in the house
when the word went around that there
would be no message from the presi
dent until Monday. Members in the
lobbies discussed tho cause of this
further dclav in groups. Some of them,
knowing that General Lee had cabled
for more time, harangued then? angry
colleagues who seemed to believe that
there was a trick in the proposed delay.
Mr. Cooper (Kep. Wis.), announced
that he believed it was to
get time to bring pressure to
bear upon tho insurgents. Anoiher
said ho was surprised that General Leo
had "weakened," But the members
will acquiesce in the delay. Republi

In the Senate.
Wabiuxotox, April '. A memorable
scene was presented at the opening of
the senate today. An audience that
tested the full capacity of tho accom
modations had filled the galleries hours
before the senate convened. Persons
distinguished'in all walks of life had
come to witness a scene that promised
to form an important page in American
Jiistpry. A message was to be received
from fho presidegt pf tho United States
that might, in its results mean war be
tween two great nations and intense
interest bordering upon anxiety was
depicted upon every countenance.
Senator Davis has informed his col-
leagues that no message wonld be sent
iij. today. Senator Davis immediately
moved and obtained an execntiyo ses
sion.
After the galleries had been cleared
Senator. Davis explained the reason for
the delay in -sending the message. He
said it wa jlue to tho fact that there
had been soms delay in getting Consul
General Lee and other Americans out
of Havana and that more time was
absolutely necessary for this purpose.
Hence the president did not consider it
wise or humane to send in the message
Vvhich njigjjt precipitate serious trouble
and endanger tje hyg3. of tljeso people.
'lftfi latest, statement is that there
will be no message until Monday in
order to let General Leo and other
Americans get out of Cuba safely.

"Washecgtok. Anril 6. The nlan of
action for the naval forces in the event
of hostilities is now practically com
pleted, as a result of several weeks'
constant work on the part of the officers
to whom was entrusted this important
feature of the war preparations. White
these plans are naturally most closely
guarded, it may bo stated on high an
thority that one feature of them con
templates a dash by the flying squadron
under Commander Schley to the Canary
islands. This proposition is as yet ten
tative, as all projects subject to uufore
seen conditions must be, but has re
ceived most careful consideration by
the naval authorities- As outlined by
a high naval officer, the plan that in
the event of a declaration of war the
flying squadron, as it is now composed,
will immediately start east, with the
Canaries as its destination, Haval offi
cials do not thins tnat it would do a
diffioalt task for so powerful a fleet to
establish a station at that point and
operate from it as a base
to harass the coast of Spain.
From that point the squadron
could not only bo placed advantageously
to intercept Spanish merchantmen, but
would be in a position should circum
stances demand or warrant" so desper
ate a venture; to attacx: a seaport. It
was also pointed out by this officer tha
to seize and hold the Canary islands.
would be a severe blow to Spain, inas.
much as the islands' He between, the
Cane Verde islands aud Spain and in
direct line with tho route to Cuba.
Should such a plan be put in opera
tion, the American fleet in Cuban
waters would be coninosod of the pres
ent squadron at the Tortugas and such
additional vessels as could be spared
from tho protection of the coast further
up. wniie cnere wouiu, ot course, saia
this officer, be a certain amount of dan
ger in removing the flying squadron sq
far from home, it was felt that circumr
stances might arise which would justify
the dash to the Canaries, hence the plan
was among those considered, by the de?
nartment. though, of course, not a3
yet finally decided upon.
