WASHINGTON. Aprf! t-ft is now very
doujtJui whether the message will go to
car-tres* today, and if it goes tn at all it
will be quite tats !n the day. There la as
ftr. so reason :o be learned for this change
af purpose, but there Is developed an eg

Senator Davis immediately moved and
obtained an executive session.
At 1:41 p. m . the senste resumed Its
spea easalon.
After the galleries had been cleared Sen
ator Davis explained the reason for the
May in sending the metaage. He said
It was due to the fact that there has
,sma some daisy la getting Consul Gen
eral Lee *nd othrr Americana out of lia
nas. and that more time waa absolutely
sssimary for this purpose. Hence, the
frsNdent didn't consider it wise or h-t
--svsn* to send in the mee«age. wnlch might
precipitate serious trouble and endanger
the lives of !hem» people.
Tae latest statement is that there will be
ae message until Monday In order to let
Gen l,ee ar»d cthrr Americans to get out
ef Cuba safe's Many alarming rumors
saere afloat this *, n regarding the
mfsty of Consul G> nd the other
consular officers stan . Cube, pome
even going to the extent of declaring thai
they had been attacked by mobs. The

Attorney Griggs snd Representative
Adams, acting chairman of house com
mittee on toreiga affairs had seen the
President.
The only thins to Indicate the signifi
cance of the day was the suppressed ex
citement about the mansion.
Assistant Sccrsury Day and Attorney
General Griggs remained with the pres
ident an hoar. They want over the mes
sage at great length, discussing some of
the paragrapha In detail. Senator Frye, a
member of the foreign relations committee,
and Ropreaentatire A dims, the ranking
member of the bouae foreign affairs com
mittee. were togatber some time at the
Whit* House. Assistant Secretary Day
waa asked if the recall of either Minister
Woodford, at Madrid, and Consul General
I*ee, at Havana, haa been formally ordered
home.
"No." waa the reply, "but ample means
have been taken to provide for them."
When asked if the message had b*en
transmitted to Madrid no anrwer was

LONDON, April The Rome corre- %
apor.dent ol the Daiiy News says:
Both the pope and Cardinal Kampolla.
declare that they never had any illusions
about mediation, knowing that the United
States would reject it, and that anyway
it would cause bad blood between Catho
lics snd Protestants there. In fact, the
Vatican haa received several dispatches
from prominent Americans saying the in
tervention of the pope might st-riousiy re
tard the progress of Catholicism in
America.
The pope 3 only object now is to gain
time, so that both Spain and America may
reflect. <
I have Also learned that Influential pre
lates at th« Vatican consider it well for the
church that the undertaking of the pon
tiff prQVed abortive. They think that if
L*o bad been appointed mediator he would
have found himself In a delicate position,
as because of ha known affection tor
Spain, and bfir.g god-father of King Al
fonso, he would have been open to sus
picion of sympathy with Spain, and unlrsa
the Independence of Cuba had grant
ed, the United States would have been
dissatisfied, lie would have found a great
obstacle also in having to declare for or
against the Monroe doctrine.
Strange to observe, while the interven
tion of the pope, no matter how noble
and generous, is considered by outsider*
& failure, at today's weekly reception of
the diplomatic body by Cardinal Rampolla,
he received and accepted congratulations
on the pope's proceedings at Washing
ton.
Cardinal Rampolla himseif asserted that
thefe proceedings had had the result of
delaying President McKinley's message,
and he mads it understood that negotia
tions were continuing with a prospect of
ob'alnlng an armistice In Cuba.
It is announced that the pope, in order
to set the r<al truth before the world, w.ll
in due time publish a sistory of the whole
affair.
The Madrid correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph, t<-i"graphing Tuesday, noticing
ths p*»smi»tie feeling of the press and
public of Madrid, gives an interview with
"a prominent persona#**." who declare*
that "there Is no need of a formal armis
tice, aa tbe approaching rainy season will
act quite aa efficaciously as any atmis
t.ee."
With reference to the prevalent belief
that tli* United States is delaying matters
Us order to gain time, "the prominent per
sonage" said:
"This U not the vk* of ?panL*h
government, which understand* the dif
ficulties and appreciates the motives of
PraMmt McKlnlty."
"All cities, towns as»d provinces.** say#

j RUSHING WORK ON THE CHICAGO.:
The Times, commenting editorially this
morning on the Hi.spano-American situa
tion, says:
"Had the pope's intervention been so
licited long ago, and the Spanish cabinet
been all along in a pacific and yielding
mood, it now appears an arrangement
might have been concluded, and there is
abundant evidence that President McKin
ley would have been willing to build a
golden bridge for the retreat of Spain
from her extreme and impracticable pre
tensions.
"Sot the controversy baa gone tor be>
yond this point. I; is doubtful whether
either President McKlnley or B*nor Sagaa
ta, or the cabinet of eitlur. any longer pos
se*.*es a free band. The efforts of the war
party in ths United States, malignant and
despicable a? their tactics have been in
many respects, have been apparently too
successful; whlie in Spain th* omens are
hardo more favorable.
'•According to our Madrid correspondent,
ine country appears quite willing to face
the risks of war."
The Daily Ne«# says:
"Aa prudent men, the Americans natur
ally shrink from the sacrifice of war for
the doubtful experiment Cuban inde
pendence would lnvoive. A very little may
turn the scale in favor of peace, and per
haps the pope may succeed."
The Madrid coriw<pondtiit of the Morn
ing Post says:
"An announcement that the pope's ac
tion was not at Pre*- lent McKinley's re
quest has been communicated to the press.
The government has also admitted its er
ror to United States Minister Woodford,
expressing r»grets that the misunderstand
ing arose General Woodford has sctepr
ed the explanation as satisfactory, and
the matter, which might have led to srrl
ous complications, has be<-n settled so far
as the two governments are concerned.
• Tl.e withdrawal however, thanged
the aspect of affairs. In the public view
President McKmiey's solicitation of medi
ation naturally an impression very
satisfactory to Spaniards,
ted as nearly acknowledging to an admis
sion that the United tSafes government
never intended to go beyond words in Its
protest and *.a glad to aceej>t an oppor
tunity that would remove the nerasity of
making those words good by action.
"Lieutenant-Gem ral Correa. the mir.in
