Said to be a Strong and Kxpllcit Statement and one With Which Congreim Will be in Accord. Washington, April 4.—The Pn-s- ident has completed his Cuban message and it will be presented to Congress on Wednesday. Sec retary Long, alter the special Cab inet meeting to-night, authorized the Associated Press to make this statement. This message, which in itself is long, will not be ac companied by thefonsular reports dealing with the state of atfa.ii|»iu Cuba. Those wiL go lenate^ ‘for theTr private infbrma lion, and will not be made*public just now. The diplomatic corre spoudcuco will not be submitted at present. The Cabinet meeting lasted from S till after 11 o’clock, and was de voted entirely to the careful read ing and discussion of the Presi dent’s drat t of hts message. Eve.y member of the Cabinet was pres ent. The document was gone over point by point and met with the approval of the Cabinet in every material respect. The only changes made were in a few points of verb iage. When the meeting was over and the members dispersed, there was a general air of relief and sat- faction on all faces, as though the air had been c.eared of doubt, and the members, firmly resolved on what they deem the proper course of action, had set out to follow the course of its logical conclusion. The suspense evidently was over. Secretary Long apparently had been deputed as spokesman for the meeting and gave the above brief statement. As to the character of the message he refused to speak. It was learned from other sources, however, that the message is iu part a review of Spain’s course in the present and previous wars iu Cuba. That it will contain some definite recommendations may be inferred from the remark of one member. “While I can say noth ing explicit concerning the details of the message,” said he, “I may say that it is a strong explicit statement, and one with which Congress will be thoroughly in ac cord.” From the fact that the diploma tic correspondence is not presented with the message, it is inferred that its main features are touched on in the message itself, either in the form of extracts or in sub stance. FEE DEE COUNTY CASK. Gov. Ellerbc Hear* Both Slilen ami Oeolltn h to Order a BeconU Flection. A L<gul 1’olnt to be Oeclded. Upon the presentation of facts in the matter of the petition for the ordering of a new election on the question of the formation of Pee Dee county, Gov. Ellerbn has refused to order the election. There has been rais'd a legt.1 point, however, which has been subrnitt d to the attorney general and it ih»t officer decides it in favor of the Pee Dee county advocat* s, tne gov ernor will doubtless order thi holr- iug of the election.

When it was over Gov. Eller e announced that he would not ord r tne election u^oa the -showing made on the facts. Col. Knox Livingston, Mr. Sell ers and ex Judge Hudson made the arguments for those desiring the election ordered. Mr. C. A. Woods and Mr. W. J. Montgomery made the arguments on the other side. The advocates of the new county were considerably surprised at the governor’s d cision. Having won their fight in the legislature by a two-thirds vote, they felt very con fident of winning in this contest considered merely incidental.— The State, April 3.
