The Senate Committee Recedes From
Its Disagreement
To the House Cuban Resolutions-It
Agrees tn Them Substitute for
the Senate Resoiutions-TheT Text of
the Measure as IL Now Stands.

WAsHrNGToN. March Elm the senate
Thursday the conference report on the
Cuban resolutions was presented by
Mr.. sherman rep, o.. chairman Of the
committee on foreign relationship re-
port being that the senate recede from
its disagreement to the house resolu-
tions and agree to them as substitute
for its own resolutions. The report
next at 2 o'clock.
The full text of the concurrent reso-
lutions is as follows:
Resolved, BY the senate the house of
representatives concurring thereinl,
that in the opinion of congress a state
OF public war exists in Cuba, the par
ties 10 which are entitled TO belligerent
rights, and the United States should
observe strict neutrality between the
belligerents.
Resolved. That congress deplores the
destruction of life and property caused
by the war now waging in that island,
and believing that the only permanent
solution of the contest. equally in the
interests of Spain, the people of Cuba
and other nations, would be in the es-
tablishment of government by the
choice of the peopls of Cuba. IL is the
sense of congress that the government
of the United States should use its good
Offices and friendly influence to that
end.
Resolved, That the United States has
not interviewed in struggles between
any European government and their
colonies on this continent: but from
the very close relations between the
people of the United States and those
of Cuba, in consequence of its proxim-
ity and the extent of commerce be-
tween the two people. the present war
is entailing such losses upon the people
of the United States that congress is Of
the opinion that the government of the
United States should be prepared to
protect the legitimate interests of our
citizens by intervention if necessary.
In brief discussion that took place
while the report was before the senate.
Mr., Chandler rep n. H. said that in
his judgment the resolutions were not
strong enough. and that he was in IA
vor of action for the recognition and
maintenance by the United States of
the independence of Cuba, at the risk
of war with Spain
The senate passed some twenty-five
bills on the calendar that were unob-
jectionable. and at 4:35 p. m. adjourned
until noon Monday next.

a FORECAST
OF the British Case In the Venezuela
boundary Dispute.


LONDON. March 5.-The Daily News
Thursday publishes column forecast
of the British case in the Venezuela dis
pute. from which the following is
taken:
The strength of the British case lies
in the abundant historical proof of
British possession of the whole of the
disputed territory and much that be-
sides before Venezuela existed The
results of n search of the Spanish
archives will be likely To prove a sur
prize to both Venezuela and the United
States, and will be of great interest TO
students of history. 1t is proved
by the clearest of documentary
evidence teat the first settle
ment of the Spaniards on the
Orinico was made in 1896. and was or
gained with the object of forestalling
the arrival of, Sir Walter Raleigh. who
had been surveying the regions, and had
not concluded to return and set
tie the republic in regard
to the founding to the Dutch
West India is also "a direct consequence
of British contention. The greatest
surprise for Venezuela will be the pub
LEGATION of secret papers exposing the
intrigue between Spain and Portugal
in 1850 having for its object the driving
out of the Dutch or of the hemming
them in.
If the Dutch were not in possession.
asks the News, where was the necessi-
ty for intriguing to get them out
The News intimates that the negotia-
tions of the limits upon which Venezuela
now bases her title was the outcome of
this intrigue. The paper also gives de-
tails of subsequent matters which
prove. according to the British conten-
ton, the governments right of con
quest over both the Spanish and Dutch.
and concludes:
Upon this part of the case the govern
ment mainly relies. 1t diminishes The
helps of the long diplomatic CORE

SHIP CANALS.

Z. Report Made on the Subject of Com
Meeting the Waters of Lake Ere with
the Ohio River.
WAsHiNGToS. March 5.-The river
and harbor act of 1894, directed the sec
rotary of war to have a survey made of
the canals in Ohio with a view to ascer-
tanning the feasibility and advis-
ability of enlarging them into ship
canals TO connect the waters of Lake
Erie with the Ohio. report was
made on the subject to the house We'd
nesday by the chief of engineers
Three routes were surveyed along the
lines of existing canals or streams TO
make a continuous waterway and the
report shows on either route the propo-
sition is feasible, and that suffi-
cient amount of water can be
secured. All things consider
ed, however, the necessity for
transhipment at the Ohio river ex-
listing, the report does not find the pro-
posed Improvement advisable. The cost
of converting the canals into ship
canals 20 feet wide and seven feet deep
with necessary locks. etc. capable of
carrying vessels of $50 tons burden. is
estimated as follows:
Eastern route, Cleveland to Marietta.
sl2,299,372; central route. Sandusly
Bay To Portsmouth, SIS. 004. 1865; western
route, Toledo TO Cincinnati. S25,OII,4.

hurled at him, but no attention was

WAsHINGToN, March 4.-How would
Uncle Sam be matched on the sea

has had little money for constructing
great ships.

and Princess de Asturias, of 1000 tons,
are already completed.
Six second class cruisers.
Forty-nine third class cruisers (most
of them unfinished), ranging from .13O
tons to less than 100 tons.
Forty torpedo boats, the finest the
Ariete- % tons, capable of steaming 20
lilo knots. and the poorest vessels built
nearly so years ago.
TO meet this array Uncle Sam has
ii battle-ships, three of them of 10. 200

1t is understood that. judged by these
