MESSAGE DELAYED AT LEE’S REQUEST President McKinley Receives a Cable Dispatch From Consul General Advising That the Lives Of Americans in Hav= ana Are in Danger. Washington, April 6.—The mes¬ sage did not go in today and' will be delayed until Monday. Shortly before 2 o’clock President McKin¬ ley hastily summoned congressional leaders of all parties to the execu¬ tive office. He showed them a cable dispatch just received from Consul General Lee, dated Havana, saying that if the message should be sent in before Monday he would not be responsible for the lives of Ameri¬ cans in Cuba. The consul declared, however, that he was making every effort to get the American citizens together to leave at the earliest possible mo¬ ment, the delay being occasioned by the difficulties in getting all the American interests safely protected, A further delay has been occasioned, he stated, by the difficulties in get¬ ting a sufficient number of boats to bring the Americans, desiring to return, away. The hasty cable message from Consul General Lee is believed to indicate that there is serious trouble ahead in Havana and that the American feeling is so strong a messacre of , Americans, . following the message, is not improbable. A feeling of the greatest disap- pointment was manifested in con- gress when , the . word went round Member, in <he lobbj- diecbe.ed the cause of this further dela^ in groups, Some of them, knowing that Gen- „i t CS u * a Ca ,, ° e , ior time ’ haran g ued , their an g r V colle agues, wbo seemed to believe there was a trick in the proposed delay. Congressmen are willing to wait on General Lee’s request, declaring as he does, that Americans are in danger, but on no other condition would they delay action, and dent McKinley assured the leaders who were called to his office that the message is withheld for the four days absolutely on no other con- dition. Thenavy depar , ment has been informed of the departue of the Bache and Mangrove from Havana with a large number of Americans on board. Consul General Lee will remain until the last life is safe, it is stated. SHIPS SENT FOR GEN. LEE. He is Asked to Get American Citizens Together at Once, so as to Leave Island. Washington, April 5.—Members of the house have been informed today that vessels have been dis¬ patched to Havana to take off General Lee and our consul officers as well as all Americans who desire to leave the island. Consul General Lee cabled the state department to- day that, in his opinion, it would be impossible to get all the Ameri- cans together, preparatory to leave the island before Sunday, and he advised that complete preparations be made to this end.

Wm, :iS SPAIN’S REPLY AN INSULT; 0 f»i L Y SHREWD DIPLOMACY The Government evades the Ques¬ tion Directly and Contents Itself With a Desperate Fight For Time. Washington, April i.—The re¬ ply of Spain to the demands of the United states is said, in effect, to be : The independence of Cuba means the parting or cession of Spanish territory which cannot be done without the consent of the Spanish cortes, which is not in session and will not be in session until April 24, and consequently no definite answer can be returned to the de¬ mand of the United States until the cortes assembles. Then a counter proposition is submitted that the Cuban matter shall be settled upon a basis equita¬ ble among nations. The United States is asked to give Spain time to treat with the insurgents, and ascertain what can be done in the nature of a peaceful settlement. Senators who know the nature of the reply say’t is a very shrewd piece of diplomacy and made for its effect upon t.he world at large. It is said the reply is unsatisfac¬ tory to the president and that he does not believe it will be satisfac- tory to congress. Record office, April 6.—Since the reception of this note, the Uni- ted Sute , government has closed negotiations. It is now with con- gress to say whether we shall have war or not. The president is ex- peeled to outline a policy in a com- i i .'.,ne„ ; , nl JU n t -r„ ar sgein.t 6 war. . l11 found nt ^ lsSUe ^ the announcement of L. C.
