Neutrality is Favored.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The substitute Cuban resolution reported to the senate to-day by the committee on foreign re- lations goes further than did the reso- lution reported to the senate short time ago. There was a diversity of opinion in the committee as to the ad- disability of congress passing a resolu- stion recognizing the insurgents, the ma jority holding that such a recognition was a function of the executive solely with which congress could not properly interfere. After some discussion the conclusion was reached that congress could go no further than to express its opinion that certain conditions existed and to declare that the United States ought to maintain a strict neutrality and accord to each side belligerent rights.

 His Intentions.
