THE SPANISH PRESS.
It is Divided on the subject of the Atti

II is Divided on the subject of the Attn
tude OF the United States.
Although the resolution of the For
eirn Relations Committee of the Unit
ed States Senate did not cause surprise
here. it has reawakened Indignation
and is looked upon as proving that the
attitude OF the Americans is regarded
as making war almost inevitable.
Spain seems to be prepared for the
worst. and is appealing to information
al sentiment to condemn America.
The Spanish press is divided in its
opinion on the subject.
The Epoca, minisJerialist, considers
the adoption of the resolution as doubt
fuI owing to the contradictory word
ing including the independence of Gu
ba and friendly peace Offices in other
resolutions"
The Epoca also thinks that President
Cleveland viii veto the resolution II
passed. and that 1T will thus have q
weakening effect"
The Nacional COndems what 1t class
es as the "unpatriOtic attitude OF the
Spanish press in attacking Captain
General Weyler and other Spanish gen
erals. claiming this hurts their prest-
ige with the army.

SHFRMAN,S VIEWs.

Cincinnati, o., December 20.-The
Commercial Tribune wired Senator
Sherman for his views on the power of
Congress to recognize the independence
of Cuba. and tonight received this an
swer by wire:
washington, D. c., Dec. 90
"There is no foundation for the state
ment that Congress may not, IL it will,
recognize the independence of new
nation, nor do I think Mr.. Olney con-
tests 1t. but he thinks the matter ought
to come from the President.
"If, however. Congress should pass
a resolution and the President should
veto it, it can be passed by two
thirds vote Of each house and would be-
come a law, which the President must
respect and obey.
(Signed) JOHN SHERMAN"

NE THUNDERER sPEAKs.

London, December 21.-The Times in
an editorial says it thinks that in face
of Mr.. Olney's distinct intimation OF
President Cleveland's intention toward
the Cameron resolution, the two houses
OF Congress may hesitate to accept the
responsibility of the resolution.
President Cleveland has nothing to
gain by yielding" the Times continues,
"and it is difficult to see what the ma
jority in Congress could do. Is he TO
be arraigned before the Supreme Court
and impeached eventually for disobe-
dience if he be found in the wrong for
the movement?
The question appears more likely to
be a conflict of the powers within the
American Constitution than between
Spain and the United States. Even if
Mr.. Sherman should be Secretary Of
State in the new administration, it is
hardly likely that Mr. Mckinley would
surrender his independence as eXecu-
tive and enter upon the incalculable
risk of war with Spain"

THE INDIAN QUESTION.

South McA1ester, I. T, December %.
After adopting resolutions protesting
against the treaty between the Choc-
taws and the Dawes commission, a mass
meeting of South McAlester people have
appointed Judge c. B. Stewart, del
egate TO 90 to Washington and work
for the interest Of the non-citiZens Of
the Territory, affected by the treaty.
The resolutions declare the treaty to be
unfair, unjust and oppressive to non
citizens, causing them TO pay, 1t says,
double value for improvements, and
making a practical confscation of the
property Of the poorer class.

SENSATIONAL DEMURRER
Filed BY the Attorney General of Califor-
MIA in Railroad Case

SAN FRANCISCO, December 2O.-Attor-
ney General Fitzgerald has filed sensa-
tional demurrer in the United States Cir
cult Court in the case of the Southern
Pacific Company against the Board of
Railroad Commissioners Of California.
The document raises points of vital in
terest to the Southern Pacific Company,
as the attorney general attacks the valid
ity of the railroad company's charter and
denies its right to operate its branch roads
in this State.
The original suit was brought to enjoin
the railroad commission from enforcing
its schedule of freights, reducing grain
rates eight per cent
In the preliminary decision rendered by
Judge McKenna, these grain rates We're
declared to be unreasonable. and the tenn
porary injunction granted when the suit
instituted was ordered to continue until
the case was tried on its merits.

nLNEY,s POSITION.
The Subject OF Earnest Debate at Wash
Innfnn

WASHINGTON. December 20.-There is
very little probability that there will
be any change in the programme OF
CONGRESS for an adjournment for the
holidays on the 22nd inst. because Of
the Cameron Cuban resolution, which
viii be reported to the Senate to-mor-
row morning. The rules of the Senate
provide that in case of a single Objec-
ton TO the consideration Of bill or
resolution reported it shall go over till
the noxt day. Consequently if any at
teuDt were made to have the resolution
considered tomorrow this objection
would be forthcoming. A great many
Senator's have made their preparations
TO leave the city for the holidays, and
il is thought unlikely that q quorum
can be mustered on Tuesday by which
business can be transacted. and
this point would be raised if the Cam
erOn resolution was brought forward.
The statement made by Alr. Olney yes
terdsv is still a subject Of earnert dis
cussi0u. On some hands his position
is fully sustained while on others il is
admitted that perhaps from purely
technical statement of law the secre-
rGrV S position is correct, DUC tudi CetN
tainIy he violates the principle of the
Constitution. Those vino make this
contention reverse the circumstances
Supposing. they say. that the Presi-
dent declared that he intended to re-
.cognize q republic and that Congress
should pass a resolution declaring 1t
their Judgment that no such action
should be taken. would it be possible
for the President in face of the position
of both Senate and House to use the ex-
ecutive prerogatiye and recognize a re-
pubHco This constitutional point has
for the time being supplanted in in.
ters,t the resolution itself. and 1t IS
known that when the resolution is
brought forward for discussion that a
debate OF considerable interest and
length will ensue on this subject. The
position of Mr.. Olney, setting forth
that of the administration, will IN
doubtedly have it's effect in some GUAR
ters Of the Senate, and it is said to-
night that sufficient opposition can be
mustered to defeat the resolution.
