Party Leaders are Disposed to Won
Awhile Yet in Hope of Set
tling Difficulties.
MEMBERS ARE BECOMING RESTLESS
It is Now Belived that the Limit
for Action Cannot be Exten
ded Over Wedneaday. , -
WASHINGTON , Apr . 4. The opin
ion almost universally held in. Wash
ington at this writing by leading pub
lic men and diplomats is that the cri
sis will reach its climax this week and
that the question of war or peace will
be determined within the next seven
days.
Senators and representatives met
and conferred yesterday about the
gravity of the situation arid at the
White House the president consulted
with several memoers of his cabinet
and other confidential advisers regard
ing the mesage which he is preparing
to send to congress.
At the state , war anu navy building
active work was going on and alto
gether ic was a day o. supressed feel-
Ing. Nothing has been announced as
to the day the message is to be sent to
congress and it is believcu it will not
go in today. It is believe a that more
probably Wednesday or Thursday will
be the day selected.
Besides the physical work of prepar
ing the comprehensive document up an
which the president expects to rest his
case with the world , there are other
reasons why those in charge of the war
preparations will welcome every hour's
delay. War material which we ave
ordered abroad is not yet snipped and
the factories in this country will work
day and night making powder and pro
jectiles and are anxious for delay.
Some of the factories in Connecticut
with contracts heve telegraphed Rep
resentative Hill urging all delay possi
ble. They say every day is now pre
cious.
There is still a difference of opinion
what will recommend
as to c d president
mend in his message. Indeed there
seems to be a question as to whether
the president will make any specific
recommendations. Some of his most
intimate friends , however , assert em
phatically that his recommendations
will be specific and vigorous and such
that his party and the countiy couul
willingly follow when he points the
way.
One on these said that the president
in his strong desire for peace and earn-
st hope that war might possibly be
avoided , was yielding somewhat to the
sentiment of the leaders of his
party and the country. He has not giv
en up hope yet that hostilities may be
averted. There are those who believe
the president has not yet made up his
mind as to the exact course he will
pursue , and there seeme to be a que >
lon as to whether the consular reports
and the diplomatic correspondence is |
o be transmitted with the message , i
The suspensa caused by 'the neces
sary delay in the preparation of the
message is very trying upon membeis |
of boii. houses , and the most universal
ly discussed question in Washington is ,
whether congress can be restrained |
until the message is transmitted. All I
recognize the task of preparing our .
case for the world's inspection and the
care which mu-t be exercised , and
there seems to be no disposition to
unduly hasten the president.
The party leaders are extremely
anxious to avoid a breach with the
executive , such as would occur if congress
initiative. After -
gress were to take the
ter a careful canvass of the situation i
today they believe the radical republicans - J
licans can be held in line a few days j
longer , until Wednesday , at least. |
The conference of republicans of the ,
house who have been insisting upon
prompt action hold another meeting I
tonight. While many of them ave j
now in favor of giving the president |
more leeway than they were last
week , it is realized that t\venty-five
republican votes in the house would ,
with the cVinccratic and populist
votes , be sufficient to act.
It can be pretty confidentially as
serted that all the republicans o ? the
house , with possible exceptions , which
could be counted on the fingers of one
hand , can be controlled until Wednes
day. After that what might happen
if the president asks for rurther delay - [
lay is problematical. Mr. Bromwell
of Ohio , for instance , who says he
hopes he will not be obliged to part j
company with the president , savs he i
will vote with the democrats if nec
essary to overrule the speaker after I
Wednesday. Mr. Cooper of Wiscon
sin has made a similar statement.
The republicans of the house com
mittee on foreign affairs have held in
formal meetings today , and have
practically agreed to r Mrt a resolu
tion of a tenor simSla fthat asree-1
upon by the foreign relations com
mittee tomorrow , but will not be reported - |
ported until the president sends his i
message to congress , although there |
is at least one of the republicans of i
the committee who is in favor of formally - j
mally reporting them tomorrow. ;
Mr. Adams , the acting chairman or '
the committee in the absence of Mr. [
Hitt , saw the president and informed i ,
him of the probable action of the com- ' .
mittee. All the republicans called up-
3ii Mr. Hitt at his residence during '
the day. Mr. Grout said that while .
some of the republicans of the house i
ivere very impatient , he thought they ! (
would restrain themselves if the presi- j '
lent desired a few days additional. ,
Mr. Grout has prepared a resolution
n'hich he Avill introduce apnrouriit- ' ;
ing $1,000,000 to raise the hull of the
Maine. ' ;
"If it was blown up , " said he , "we ' *
: an well afford to spend $1,000,009 to
lemonstrate that fact. Its hull eauld ;
je raised by building coffer dams. If
t was blown up the truth will be t
cnown. Murder will out. "

WORKING ON THE MESSAGE.
President Js Preparing the Docu
ment With Great Care.
! WASHINGTON , April 4. On Sat
urday a cabinet officer said there was
no change from that shown by pre
vious developments , and that ho ex
pected events would move along the
present lines until the president's
message was sent to congress , pro
bably Monday. The preparation of
the momentous message was begun
by President McKinley at a compara
tively early hour Saturday , after long
{ conference with his cabinet advisers
, and public men on the lines it should
j take in order that the position of
America in this crisis may stand forth
' in a clear , intelligent and justifiable
way before the present and future gen
erations. The advice nroffered most
urgently upon the president has been
recognition of the independence of
Cuba and intervention at once to end
I
j the horrors of the situation. This
i course has been urged especially by
I senators and members of the house.
i The president has listened to all these-
views , but has not expressed his own
so freely.
Appreciating the wish of congress
that the message be transmitted to
that body at the earliest practicable
moment and the fact that a document
1 of its grave significance and its his
torical character requires the utmost
i deliberation and consultation with his
official advisers , he has decided to put
aside all but the most important mat
ters until the message has been put
in shape for transmission 10 the na
tional legislature. Wilh this end in
view , he denied himself a long line
of callers , but saw quite a number of
persons whoe knowledge and epe-
vience might be of service to him in
his task.
Throughout Saturday there were ru
mors of all kinds in circulation , and
there ws much subdued excitement
among those who formed the throng
of visitors. Reports were even in cir
culation that a special session of the
cabinet had been hastily called and
held during the early morning horns ,
but its falsity was proven quickly. At
II o'clock there were no indications
of a cabinet meeting , but it was in
timated that it might be decided to
call the cabinet in session daring tin
afternoon.
Assistant Secretary Dav was a priv
ileged visitor at the White House and
was with the president by 9 o'clock.
He had a long , close conference with
the president and made a numhber of
suggestions as to the treatment of the
discussion of the matter to be incor-
uorated in the forthcoming message.
He was the first person to see the
resident , and soon after his arrival.
Major Easton. the president's military
aide , slinped in for a brief interview.
Abner McKinley came in from New-
York on an early train and stopped
at the White House for a few min
utes' chat with the family. Shortly
after his departure , Mrs. McKinley.
with a large party of young women
she is fntprtaininsr , went off in two
of the White House broughams for a
drive. Secretary Gage same over
from the treasury about 10 o'clock ,
and for considerably over an hour
remained in important consultation
with the president. Meanwhile a large
party of congressional callers had as
sembled. Among them were repre
sentatives Lacev of Iowa , Pitnev of
New Jersey and Low of New York ,
who. however , refrained from inter-
runting the president.
Senator Frye of Maine , however ,
had a personal interview that lasted
a few minutes.
Secretary Gas-p was one of the first
rollers at the White House. Senator
Frye of the senate committee on for
eign relations immediately followed ,
ft is believed that Senator Frye called
to ascertain when the message of the
president might be expected so as to
Eruide the senate committee on for-
? ign relations in its work. It is known
that Senator Frve is for vicorous ac
tion and would like to see the coming
message take strong groun-Js. which
will unite congress and the adminis
tration in a firm noiicy to secure
; he independence of Cuba by interven
tion at once to that end.
AS TO CUBAN RESPONSIBILITY.
'opers Made Public by fpm'sli
Minister in Washitigtcu.
WASHINGTON , April 4. The Span-
sh minister here , Senor Polo , has giv-
: n publicity to the following :
On Friday , the 25th ultimo , after
he Spanish court of inquiry had made
ts report , the Spanish consul general
n New York filed officially with the
"nitecl States district attorney in New
fork ? n affidavit made by a man
lamed John D. Bennett of 207 Forty-
cm th street , New York city. This
nan announced himself as an inventor
if explosives , and tells how he was
ailed upon by Gonzale de Quesaada ,
loratio S. Rubens and others of the
luban junta in Mew York , who were
; reatly interested in the explosives ,
. hich. he says , "Emit light and flame
nd have four times the strength of
; unpowder. "
He does not say that he sold any
xplosives to the Cubans. The Spanish
onul ceneral in New York took oc-
asion to investigate the character of
be man who makes the affidavit and
ot only filed a copy of the document
i the district attorney's office , but
2nt a copy to the Spanish minister P
ere. r
The affidavit , it is said , will be laid d :
pfore the senate committee on for- w
ign affairs , Avhich meets today , and wai
i pursuing a line of investigation re- ai
irding the Maine , in the belief that
pain's official responsibility can bo

FOB CUBAN INDLPCNDENCE.
L'omtnittco Decides Upon the Poli-
Icy to Be Pursued.
WASHINGTON , April 4. The full
senate committee on foreign relations
has practically agreed to accept the
recommendations of the sub-cominit-
tee for a resolution recognizing the in
dependence of Cuba and recommend
ing intervention if necessary to se
cure it. This conclusion was reached
after a sesion that did not con
tinue for more than an hour , and so
far as can be learned there was no di
vision of opinion expressed inthecom-
mittce as to the propriety of this
course. Senators Gray , Daniels and
Turpie were absent , but the expres
sion was made that none of them
would bo heard from until the reportIng -
Ing of the resolutions. The general
lines of the Foraker resolution will be
followed out. The full committe2 Sat
urday gave most of its attention to the
text of the report which will be made
to accompany the resolution and
which has been prepared by Senator
Davis.
After the committee had been sit
ting for a brief time , Mr. Davis called
a carriage and made n hurried trip to
the White House for the purpose of
comparing views with the president
on some of the points to be made. The
committee also had Admiral Irwin he-
fore them for some time examining
him as a torpedo expert on the Maine
disaster and also on the strength of
the Spanish torpedo flotilla and the
best course for the country to pur
sue in meeting it.
There is reason to helieve from what
can be learned that there is a dis
position to make direct reference in
the resolution to the Maine disaster
as a cause for our resentment. What
ever the phraseology of the resolution
itself , the report accompanying it will
dwell largely upon the incident. Some
of the members of the committee are
disposed to regard as positiva the
nroof of Spanish duplicity in the
Mnne affair and to resent it as an
act of war , and there is good reason
for believing that there has been more
or less discussion in the committee on
the advisability of a declaration of
war on account of the explosion , rath
er than a recognition of Cuban inde
pendence merely. At any rate , the
Maine incident will be thoroughly ex
ploited and made the basis of much
that may be said. The committee feels
this the safe course , in view of Spain's
recent action concerning the recon-
centradoes.
Senator Frye saw the president on
behalf of the committee befors the
meeting and gave the members the
benefit of the views of the chief ex
ecutive.
A Statement Frciti Woodford.
MADRID , April 4. In answer to a
request from the Associated Press
General Woodford. the United States
minister , has made the followin <
statement :
The obligations of my diplomatic
position absolutely forbid my granting
an interview or giving the slightest
intimation as to the present condition
of the diplomatic negotiations entrust
ed to my care. I came to Spain under
instructions from President McKinley
to secure peace in Cuba , with a per
manent peace between the United
States and Spain , a peace that should
be built upon bed-rock conditions ;
conditions of justice to Cuba , with as
sured protection to the great Amer
ican interests in that island.
I have labored steadily to obtain this
rp.sult. I have never lost my faith
and , doubtful as conditions may seem
today , I still believe this great and
? oed purpose of my president may
yet be secured. I shall not desist
from my labors for a just and honor-
ible peace until the guns actually
3peu fire , and my faith is still stronir
Lhat war , with all its horrors , can be
iverted.
Enough blood hr.s been shed m
? uba already , and I cannot believe
: he closing hours of the nineteenth
? entury will be reddened by a con-
lict between Spain and the United
States. My country asks for condi-
; ions that will nke peace p-irrar-r-ent
md I have faith that Spain will do
vhat is necessary to assure justice in
2uba and with justice peace is certain.

CALLING ON THE PRESIDENT.
The Administration Simply Await
ing Orders From Madrid.
WASHINGTON , April ] . Repre
sentatives Kirkpatrick and Butler of
Pennsylvania called together at the
White House and went over the sit
uation with the president. President
McKinley stated the situation to the
members of congress substantially as
follows :
The administration is simply wait
ing definite responses from Madrid.
Negotiations are in progress and all
will depend upon the effect of these.
The administration desires to avoid
anything tending to precipitation and
undue haste in a matter so fraught
with the gravest consequences. It is
struggling for peace so far as nation
al honor and dignity will permit. It
is hoped that the issue will come tea
a definite , early adjustment. If it can
be settled peaceably it will be gratify
ing , and if satisfactory conclusions
cannot be reached within a day the
administration will still hope for it
to be effected before the week closes.
Meantime he advised them that in
his opinion there should be no rabid
and excited talk ; cool judgment should
dictate action in all matters which
involve national honor and which
will either bring the country out of
the crisis peaceably with credit or
plunge it into war. The president
further expressed gratification that
the sentiment of congress favored giv
ing a little longer time for the admin
istration to act , and he cited the ne
cessity for awaiting the final effect
of the dispatches in process of com
munication between the two govern
ments.
Representative Hopkins of Illinois ,
one of the committee appointed at
the republican conference last night ,
had zn early interview with 1he
president. His call , however , was in
dependent of the committee's mis
sion , that body not calling until lat
er in the day. Mr. Hopkins said he
felt that the republican party would
stand together in the present crisis.
The administration had indicated its
intention to act as speedily as pos
sible and he believed those who fa
vored Cuban intervention would wait
a proper time before acting in ad
vance of the president.
The committee of cloven appointed
by the conference of the republican ?
of the house who are insistent upon
promnt and aggressive action for the
complete independence of Cuba will
call upon the president and place be
fore him their views.
Representative Hopkins added that
he believed that the house , although
by an immense majority in favor of
intervention and Cuban independence ,
would wait the action of the presi
dent for a proper time. His early
visit had no connection with the
pending situation and he explained
that the committee appointed for the
purpose would call in a body in the
afternoon to manifest to the president
the general desire nnd almost unani
mous judgment of the republican rep
resentatives that there should be a
quick , decisive step to secure the im
mediate independence of the Cuban
republic.
Beach Wnrlike.
WASHINGTON. April 1. Represen
tative C. B. Beach of Ohio , has sent
the following telegram to President j
Palma of the Cuban junta : "Having
maintained the war for three years
by their own bravery , resources and
sacrifices unprecedented in all history ,
will the Cubans accent a compromise
when they can overhear in the throat
of their brutal memy a death rattle ?
"
God forbid ! Will "it uudefile your
daughters ? Will it revive the mother
who urged them on with the lasr.

Right it out. Uncle Sam is dusting off

WOMAN AND THE WHEEL.
From the GazMc , Delaware , Ohio.
The healthfuliioss of" bicycle riding fo ?
women is still n disputed question between
eminent physicians nnd health reformers.
Used iu moderation it MI rely creates for
women a ineaus of out-door exercise , the
benefit of which all physicians coiiecilo.
Ufrecl to oxcohs , like any other pastime , it ?
effect is likely to bo dungerons.
The experience of Miss Bertbu Reeil , thc >
Foventcen-year-old daughter of llr. J. 11.
Reed , Mo Lnko St. , Delaware , Ohio , may
jioiut a moral for parents who , likoAlr. unti
Mrs. Reed , huvo experienced some concern
for their daughters who ore fond ot wheel-
int' . In the full of 'IH5 Mis Bertha who had
ridden a great deal , began to fail in nn
alarming manner. She grew steadily paler
and thinner , and it appeared'sbo was oing
into consumption. Rest and quiet did her
absolutely no
good. A physi-
cjnn found nor
pulbo at 1U4 n
very high rate.
Thinking this
may have been
duo to tempo
rary - nervous-
uotswhen he
examined her
s/ic macs ,
lie watcher her
closely , but her pul e contin
ued ac tliatratefor two weeks.
He was satis-fled tliou.from her
high pulse nnd steadily Mnethig condition
that she was suffering from un.Tmia or a
bloodless condition of the l > ody. She became
extremely weak , and roultl not stand the
least uoibe or excitement. In tin's condition
of nifnirs they were recommended by an o.M
friend to get some of that famous blood
medicine , Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for 1'nlo f
People. Thev did to , and almost from the-
fir.t d-e Bertha bo nu to improve. She
continued to take the pills find was by
means of those pills made entirely well , anil
more grateful people than her parents can
not be found in tins whole State of Ohio.
Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills have proved ft
boon to womankind. Acting directly on
tbe blood and nerves , they restore the re
quisite vitality to all parts of the body :
creating functional regularity nnd perfect
harmony throughout the nervous * - ytem. .
The pallor of the cheeks is changed to the-
delicate blush of health : the eyes brighten ;
the muscles grow elastic , ambition is
rreasol aud peed health returns.
"Don't say good-bye rorever. " she
pleaded. There was reason in her re
quest. He had been nearly half an hour
at it already , so that her suspicicns
that the process might project into
the boundless regions of eternity were
well founded. Ind'anapoMs Journal ,
