WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The senate wa
literally deluged for half an hour yester
day with reports, resolutions and spirite
colloquies on the Cuban question. TIL
intense public interest in this subject wa
shown by the presence of the larges
crowds seen since the opening day Of tn
session. All available space IN the publi
galleries was taken and the diplomatic
gallery had snch distinguished occupant
as Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British am
bassador; Baron Won Hengslmuller, the
Austrian minister; Mr.. Hatch, the Ha
waiian minister, accompanied by the
suites and ladies of the embassies and le
cations
The main event Of the day was the pre-
sentation by Mr.. Cameron of the report of
the committee on foreign relations favor
able to his resolution recognizing the in
dependence of Cuba This proceeding was
brief and perfunctory, the report not being
read, and an agreement being speedily
reached by which the resolution and re-
port go over until after the holidays.
Aside from the Cameron report Mr. Nor
gan, OF Alabama, presented a further re-
port on the same lines, embodying the
views of himself and Mr. Mills.
The offering of the report served as
prelude to several brisk exchanges between
senator's Mr. Hill, of New York, desired
to know whether the reports went into
the constitutional question of the legisla-
tive power of recognition of independence.
Mr.. Cameron promptly answered that
everybody conceded this power, and Mr..
such power was 'preposterous
| Mr.. Vest also came forward with some
remarks which promised to give a sharp
personal turn to the debate. He spoke Of
his establishment in seeing Secretary
Olney's public statement declaring that
the executive alone had the power to
| recognize independence. Mr.. Vest had
hardly begun when Mr.. Hale Republican,
OF Maine, made point of order. The
Missouri senator willingly yielded, an
nouncing that he would speak today on
the resolution he had offered, declaring
that recognition of independence is joint
power of the legislative and executive
branches
