Washington, April 11—The presf- dent's message was sent to congress today at 1 The galleries of both houses were crowded as never before with eager and throngs waiting to hear the message ry nd the floors of both the Sen- ate and house of representatives were filled, The message contained 8,000 words. The message was read and referred to the foreign relations committees in both houses. ‘These committees are not expected to report before tonight or temorrow morning. ‘The opening part of the message is devoted to a review of the whole Cu- ban situation, The terrible suffer- ings of the Cubans are depicted. fhe President shows the origin and and spread of anarchy in the island and refers (° the devastation of the fertile plantations, the starvation of innocent and inoffens.¢ people, and recalls the fact that Spanis' officers have participated in these out74ges. Americans in Cuba have been insuit- ed while distributing supplies to the suffering and the dying. ‘The President calls particular at- tention to Spain's inability to put down the insurrection or to suppress 30 p. m anxious anarchy, To put a so? this state of af- urges armed inter- hostilities in * lawless- the fairs the Presiden. vention to terminate Cuba, and the anarchy any ness now running rampant on island, ‘The President, however, asks dis- sretionary authority in using the army and n: to back up intervention, and as to the times of intervention. The message plainly opposes a rec+ ognition of the present Cuban gov- ernment. The President assumes (hat such a government exists but points out the fact that its headquar- ters are in New York and that it is utterly incompetent of guaranteemwg to the Cubans peace and order, He thinks that the question of choosing their form of government should be left to the Cubans themselves after order is restored in the island, Spanish authority terminated, and Cuba is in- dependent, ‘The fact is recited that Spain has cabled her regrets over the loss of the bavtleship Maine in Cuban waters, |are fewer explosions, and it can be | ‘tion of the original torpedo fleet that left Spain and the Canaries, pre- sumably for Porto Rico, reached the Cape Verde Islands, A rumor was circulated atthe navy department that Capt.
