This is the Opinion of "A Member of the
senate Foreign Relations Committee.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.--When the
vote was taken by the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations on the Cuban bel
ligerency resolutions several senators
We're absent, but all present voted for
the resolutions as drawn by Mr.. Morgan.
among them being Mr.. Morgan. Mr.
Lodge, Mr.. Gray, Mr.. Turpie, Cad Mr..
Frye.
In tine consideration Of this question
the committee found itself badly ham
pered by the statements OF Hamilton
Fish. which appear I'm the fourth annual
message OF President Grant. during the
previous revolution IN Cuba. This state
paper takes strong grounds against the
acknowledgment Of belligerent rights.
The committee. although the insurgents
are much more powerful now and have
accomplished vastly more than they did
during the ten years war, did not see
its way clear 10 throw aside the consnit-
ment TO a policy fastened upon the Gov
ernment by Mr. Fish.
Whether the resolutions met the ap-
prOval Of the President or not the COM
mittee does not know.

the President TO t. lder his good offices
10 Spain and urge her to recognize
state OF war on the island and proceed TO
treat prisoners as prisoners of war.
Should Spain DO this. then this country

gents, and they will have equal rights in

and bills of credit, etc.
. on the contrary, said one of the most
prominent members Of the committee
this morning. should Spain refuse 10 90
as this Government requests, and should
she follow out the policy of treating the
rcyOlutiOnisfs as IL is feared the new
captain general will treat them, the next
step will be- but a short time IN coming.
This will be- a resolution recognizing the
belhgerency Of the insurgents, and grant
