NOT TO CLEVELAND'S LIKING.


The President Thinks the Davis Reso-
luton Inoppurtune.
NEW YORK, Jan. PA World spe-
cial from Washington says: President
Cleveland has authorized Senator
Smith Of New Jersey to make public
his onion Of the Davis resolution re-
ported by the senate committee on for
, eign relations. The Presidents opinion
is this:
II regard the Davis resolution as mis-
chevious, inopportune and unfortu-
nate"
MI. Cleveland believes that the pol
icy adopted by the senate committee
strikes at the heart of the principle Of
arbitration.
Senator Smith has prepared resolu-
ton declaring that the United States
does not intend to establish q protec.
torate in South America nor to become
responsible in any degree for the con-
Duct Of other American nations. He
discussed the substance Of the resolu-
ton with the president during the day.
Secretary Omey has privately ex-
pressed his disapproval of the action Of
the senate committee.

by the House Committee.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The predic-

house committee on foreign affairs that
If the proposed reaffirmation Of the
Monroe doctrine is adopted by the SEN
ate and sent over to the house for &C.
ton, it will be allowed to rest quietly
in the committee files. A canvass Of
more than majority of both Republi:
can and Democratic members of the
committee failed to discover any mem.
Der who Endorses it. Courtesy to their
colleagues of the senate impels the
members of the committee in the other
house to refrain from putting them
selves on record in interviews as op-
posed to the resolution, but in converse
ton they do not hesitate to criticise
the verbiage of it and to deprecate
the policy which brings it forward at
this particular time. One of the fore
most authorities on diplomatic matters
in the house said he deemed it very
poor diplomacy to take any steps tend
ing to increase the tension between this
government and Great Britain in what
practically amounted to a crisis.
81 The committee members think it will
be better policy to sidetrack the resolu-
ton without any monstration Of dis
approval than to make an adverse re.
port upon it to the house. .....-s s..

Senate Foreign Ra 'ations Committed
Substitute Resolution,

Substitute Resolution.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The senate
committee on foreign relations has
agreed upon substitute for the resolu.
ton heretofore reported on the question
of the recognition of Cuta and author.
lied Senator Morgan to report to the
senate.
The substitute is in the shape Of a
concurrent resolution. AS reported, it
is as follows:
Resolved, By the senate (the house of
representatives concurring) that in the
opinion Of congress condition of pub
lie war exists between the gov
eminent of Spain and the government
proclaimed and for some time main
tanned by force of arms by the
people Of Cuba, and that the United
States Of America. should maintain a
strict neutrality between tho contend
ing powers and accord to each all the
rights of belligerents in the ports and
territory Of the United States.
The committee also voted to make an
effort to take up the Cuban question in
the senate as soon as the urgent def
cheney bill and the resolution for the
distribution of the appropriation bills
can be disposed Of.
Voto Was Practically Unanimous.
The action Of the committee upon
the resolution as finally agreed upon
was unanimous, with the exception
Of Senator Cameron, who announced
his adherence to his position looking to
the formal recognition Of the independ-
ence Of Cuba.
The substitute differs from the orig
inal resolution in that it is direct rec
ognition, so fac as congress can give it.,
for the besligeren! lights Of the Cubans,
and does not contemplate, as did the
first measure, any appeal to Spain to
accord such rights, 1t also contem-
plates taking the matter entirely out Of
the hands of the president, as he is not
required to sign concurrent resolu.
