Washington, March 9.-The House resolutions
recognizing the belligcrency Of the Cuban in
surgents and suggesting the intervention Of the
United States to secure recognition Of Cuban
independence, which were accepted last Thur
day by the Senate conferrees. met some decided
opposition in the Senate this afternoon, when .
vigorous fire on them was opened by two lead.
Ing and influential Senators from New-Englano,
Mr. Hale of Maine. and Mr.. Hoar. Of Massachu.
setts Mr. Hale voted against the original Sem
ate resolution Of February rs. and has made no
concealment from the beginning OF his OPPOSE
ton to any precipitate recognition OF Cuban bel
ligerency Mr. Hoar was absent February
2S when the Senate voted on the Sherman.
Cameron declaration; but. according to an an.
nouncement made by Mr.. Lodge. would have
supported the Foreign Relations Committees
resolutions If present.
To-day, however, Mr. Hoar showed decided
disposition to question the expediency OF recog-
nizing the belligerent rights Of the insurgents
in Cuba on the state Of facts so far presented
to Congress.
TWO SIGNIFICANT RESOLUTIONS.
Before the conference report could be called
up he introduced two significant resolutions.
both plainly suggesting the advisablity Of eau

gress toward Spain and the Cuban Provisional
Government One, which was agreed to with
out dissent requested the President II not In.
compatible with the public interest. to send to
the Senate all available Information In the State
Department as to the status OF affairs In Cuba,
especially such as may involve the duty and
interest Of the United States In the present
emergency. The second. which vent over until
tomorrow under the rules, postpones the further
consideration OF the conference report until April
g. and directs the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions meanwhile to report to the Senate the facts
on which it's declarations adopted or February
2S were based
Mr. Hale. for the opponents Of Cuban recogni-
ton. made striking and forcible speech nearly
two hours in length. He denied absolutely thas
the situation IN Cuba warranted recognition OF
the insurgents as belligerents. and quoted with
effect General Grants opinion OF the conditions
Of war which prevailed in Cuba during the pre-.
vious insIrrection.
Some excitement occasioned when MI
Hale asked TO have read as C. part OF his speech
| the interview given out last week by Minister
Dupuy de LONE. Mr.. Davis, OF Minnesota, ana
others objected to receiving any communcation
from a representative Of a foreign country nos
coming through regular diplomatic channels, ana
a wrangle ensued over the admissiblty OF sucn
a statement into the record Finally Mr.. Frye
suggested that the interview be read to be fol-
lowed by the reply made 70 1t by Sehor Quesada-
published elsewhere. Mr.. Hale then had Sehor
de L6me's statement read from the desk but said
the Ouesada letter could be embodied later In
some other Senator's remarks.
