THE CUBAN RESOLUTIONS
Belief That the Houss Will Accept These
That Passed the Senate
That Appears the Only Way to Adjust
Differences Then Consress
Mny Adjourn Early.

The conferees on the Cuban resolutions
hope to be able this afternoon to adjust
matters SO that the resolutions may be
disposed of. The Senate conferees have in
formed the representatives on the part of
the House frankly that the only way that
the resolutions can be disposed of is by the
acceptance of the senate amendments
They state that there is no serious obtec-
ton to the House resolutions, and that
the Senate would readily accept them If a
vote could be had but that there are half
dozen men in the Senate who will fill
buster against the adoption of any resolu-
tions, and it will be necessary in order to
acc omplish anything to dispose of the mat
ter without referring it again to the Sem
ate. Under the circumstances, they insist
that there is nothing to do but to accept
what the Senate has already done. If any
thing could be got through the Senate in
the face of the flibuster they would not
have sent the matter back to conference
but would have pressed the first conference
report. A modified report. they say, would
have no better chance than the others.
The House conferees are reluctant to ac-
cept the Senate resolutions in lieu of their
own, knowing that the sentiment in the
House is opposed to IT,. but they will prob
ably have to yield. The conference adjourn
ed over from the former meeting in order
to give an opportunity to sound the senti-
>ment Of the House, and the result was not
satisfactory. The situation is about as 1t
was with relation to the tariff bill in the
last Congress, and the House will have to
yield in order to defeat the plans of the
filibusters, who will hold out to the end
of the session If the situation permits.
The resubmission of this question to con-
ference has opened the way to an early ad-
journment, and it was to save time to this
end that the friends Of the resolution de-
cided on a short cut
The resolution introduced by Mr.. Platt
for an adjournment on the I'd of May was
offered seriously, and there is very strong
hope that a final adjournment may be had
sc me time during the first week in May.
With this Cuban discussion cut off
and the work ON the appropriations SO
far advanced, the way seems clear to an
adjournment that early.
