Great Tumult in Washington The End U not Tet. THE MITUATIOM. The events of yesterday are bewildering. No definite out come is indicated by the news up to midnight. The positive announcement that the President's message wonld go to Congress to.day proved untrue. The alarming . condition at Havana is given as the reason. General Lee is again reported to have left Havana late yester day. Steamers from Havana arriving at Key West are crowded with refugees. No attempts at mediation or intervention by foreign powers are indicated. The reported yielding by Spain caused a big .rise in the Btock market just before the close. Late news does not con firm the report. The message is now reported postponed until Monday. What Congress will do cannot be fore told. The situation may clear today. At present it is very black. Special to Journal. Washington, April 6. Oreat crowds, unprecedented in the history of tbe country, thronged the Capitol today. Officers stationed to restraio people were overwhelmed. Muny women fainted in the crush. Wild rumors have been spread. It was announce J tbat the President's message would go to Congress shortly after noon, Then followed the statement that Consul General Lee had cabled four times to Washington that riots have broken out in Havana and the Bpanlsb voluntatis have taken possession of the city and that be feared a massacre it th. Presi dent's message was sent in today and that there were two thousand Americans still In Havana. It was announced that the message would not go In today. Later it was nnouueed that owing to Ueneral Lee's request to allow time for all Americans to leav. Cuba tbe message would not go to Congress before next Monday. f orecast, or the President's message continue to be made. Tbe latest one to night, said to be th. correct one, Is that (ho ton. will be Srm and vigorous, and recommends that Congress empower the President to use armed land and navy forces to expel tbe Spaniards from Cuba The clause leaving the use of tb. forces to the President's discretion to be quail' Bed to Its being kit to Uongre. to say whether Ih. authority shall be exercised by the President Immediately or at his discretion." i This qualification was urged by on. element In Congress who desired it em- iDr. Bull's kick tiWih, Barron MM, karkaoh wad tsif I 1 .

Tbe forest continue that there will be no recom- mendation for recoeoiilon of Cuban . independence but only armed ioterveji tion, the President being unalterably opposed tn tho recognition of " indepen dence at present. " The report came from Havana early that Central Lee left Havana at noon. This was later denied. An Associated Press sends out a des patch tonight saying that the agent of the Plant Line of steamers reports that the Consul General left Havana on the government steamer Mascotte lute in the afternoon. . At Key West the arrival of General Lee is looked for and rooms are engaged for him at a hotel, and the greatest ten sion prevails in anticipation of a crisis. A government steamship has arrived from Havana loaded lo the guard with American refugees fleeing from Cuba. Fresh alarm and excitement is created at the State Department over a cable from General Lee that one of the United States consuls in Cuba has been detained by force and cannot get away from tbe island. The name of the consul is not known. Five million two hundred thousand d jllars in (cold arrived at Now York by steamer from Europe last night. Firm assurances are sent from England assuring the United States of the fullest and most cordial sympathy of the Eng lish nation in the nltitude of this country towords Cuba. The Union Press, represents the New York Sun, sent out Madrid special that Spain was willing to grant all that the United States demands and that a settlement was arranged. No news has yet confirmed any Buch report aud it is not believed that Spain yields to tho demands. A cable from Madrid says that there was a change in the SpauUh ministry today. The Charge d'Affairs authorizes the statement that Spain is ready to arbitrate the Maine disaster and that Spain is endeavoring to avert war in every possible way. Doubts of these reports or the success of such attempts are expressed in all quar ters. The Cuban Junta at New York accuses the United States ol being involved iu stock jobbing schemes and declares that tbe Cubans will resist intervention by the United States unless recognition ol their independence is made. Tho Navy Department selects Port Royal, South Carolina for tho Navy hos. pital. Ships injured in battle or needing attention south of the Virginia capes will be sent there for refitting. The Flyine Squadron is under sealed orders to proceed lo sea. The battleship Texas sailed from New York to join the Flyinir Squadron at Hampton Roads The battleship has been stripped of uli her superstructure aud woodwork and is prepared lor action. The United States fleet on the eastern station at Hong Kong is preparing for sea. Rear Admiral Walker, who is oo the retired list, may be placed in command of the entire naval force iu home waters. Ihe plan of action of the naval forces is completed by the board of strategy. The Flyiug Squadron will seize tho Canaries as a bane or operations to intercept Spanish merchantmen and attack Span ish seaports. Tbe last complete touches were made to tbo lying oqadiou oil Fort Monroe today. The crews were kept drilling, additional ammunition and supplies were taken on board the ves sels, TBE STATE CAPITAL Bltctiaa r.r Brnaal faaa. enkni Davea SiiihuS M Hlatarlas), fraM .ad lea. Capt.

Raleigh Fire Department is almost en tirely a voluntary one. There are 110 firemen here and only 11 ot these receive j a penny. There are four fire companies here, three white and one colored.
