welve Hundred People at the Capitol Awaiting, the Opening
of the Building at 6 O'clockThey Swarm the Gallaries of
the Senate and HouseEngland Sends Greeting to America
and Says She is in Entire Sympathy with our Cuban Policy.
Washington, April 0.
Thero will bo no luessuyu sent to Congress to-day. This action
was decided upon this afternoon, ufter a conference between
President JIcKinley and bis Cabinet, and leading members of the
House and Senate.
This action was taken because of advices from General Lee at
Havana late this afternoon. The delay is to enable Lee and the
Americans to leave Cuba in safety.
From high authority it is said Gen. Lee telegraphed to Wash
ington to the effect that one American Consul was held up in
Cuba and it is impossible to get him away now. He has fears
of the safety of Americans should the President's message be
made public to-day.
The message, it is given out, will bo submitted to Congress
to-morrow.
The scone at the capitol to-day was unparalleled in the his
tory of Washington. In every part of the city the crowds wore
unprecedented, all eager to learn the latest news emanating from
official sources.
Thousands sought admission to the Senate and House aB early
as six o'clock this morning. It is estimated that twelve hundred
people were in front of the capitol awaiting the opening of the
building at that hour.
President McKinloy's massage is vigorous In tone, and
points directly by inference to the necessity for armed inter
vention. Tho President's plan is to pacify the Island and main
tain peace in order to secure .Cuban independence. He is for
peace ilrst ; freedom next.' The" m6m)ersf'Coigrejt)ractically
agree to the plan, yielding to the President as to the recognition
of Cuban independence.
Nothwithstanding tho diplomatic hopefulness of many, it is
evident that Congress will take action very soon after tho receipt
of tho message, probably tho following day, unless in the
meantime Spain shall yield to the diplomatic demands of the
United States and end the war in Cuba and grant independence.
Thero is no conilict of opinion between Congress and the Presi
dent as to the duty of the Govornmont to accomplish these re
sults; there is merely a diiTereuce of opinion as to whether inde
pendence shall be recognized as existing now, or whether it would
not be the wiser course for the United States to intervene to end
the war and establish a free Government for the Cuban pooplo.
LEE'S INSTRUCTIONS.

Washington, April'O. Tho wires between

o'clock this afternoon. Gon, Leo miy also

It is likely that Gen. Lee will lemaln in
Havanna until every American who wants to
leave has gone. He has made arrangements
for transferring tho consular archives to tho
caro of tho British Consul iu Havana and for
seeking an asylum with that olllclal should
relations between Spain and the United
States bo severed beforo ho has left his post.
Support the President.
Washington, April 0, 1 p. m. Fivo Re
publican members of tho Uouso Foreign
Committee announced this morning that they
will support the President's recommenda
tions if they aro as announced in this morn
ing's papers, especially if ho asks interven
tion at his discretion.
Tho Itcpubllcan members ot Congress met
this morning iu conference, with ninety iu
attendanco. No proposition was presented
as to tho action to bo taken iu reforenco to
tho President's messago, but tho tone of the
speeches was strongly in favor of vigorous
action on tho part of Congress if the Presi
dent's message did not meet their expecta
tions. A Madrid special to-day says tho situation
there is ono of expectation, Kvery ono is
anxiously awultlug Picsldeut McKinloy's
message. Tho Sp.iuish Cabinet discussed tho
situation at length, and tho prcvailant
opinion among olllclals Is that a peaceful

declining tho Intervention of his Holiness
between the United StaUs and Spain, also
contains what is virtually a declaration of
the President's policy.
Archbishop Ireland says that tho Prcsl

for him to ovorcomo tho prejudice oven

Rome, April C Both the pope and
Cardinal Hampolla. pnjinl secretary of
state, declnre that they never had any
Illusions about mediation, knowing
that the United States would reject it,
and that, any way, it would cause bad
blood between Catholics and Protest
ants there. In fact the Vatican has
received several dispatches from prom
inent Americans saying that the in
tervention of the pope might seriously
retard the progress of. Catholicism In
America.
Tho pope's only object now Is to sain
time, so that both Spain and America
may reflect. It Is also asserted that
Influential prelates at the Vatican con
sider It is well for tho church and the
prestige of papacy that the undertak-
ne of the pontiff proved abortive. They
think that If Leo had been appointed
mediator he would have found himself
In a delicate position, as because of his
known affection for Spain, and belns
godfather to King Alfonso, he would
have been open to a suspicion of sym
pathy with Spain, and unless the Inde
pendence of Cuba had been Rranted the
United States would have been dis
satisfied. He would have found a great
obstacle also In having to declare for
or against the Monroe doctrine.
Strange to observe, while the inter
vention of the pone, no matter how
noble and generous, Is considered by
outsiders a failure, at yesterdny's
weekly reception of the diplomatic
body by Cardinal Hampolla he received
and nccepted congratulations on the
pope's proceedings at Washington.
Cardinal Hampolla asserted that these
proceedings had had the result of de
ferring President McKlnley's message,
and he made It understood that nego

pect of obtaining an armistice in Cuba.
It Is announced that tho pope, to set
the real truth before the world, will In
due time publish a history of the whole
affair.
