trality Between Powers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6-The Senate COM
mittee on foreign relations today agreed
upon a substitute for the resolution here
tofore reported in reference to the re-
cognition of Cuba and authorized Senator

"Resoived, by the Senate (House of
Representatives concurring), That in the
opinion OF Congress, a condition of pub
lie war exists between the government
OF Spain and the government proclaimed
and for some maintained by force of arms
by the people of Cuba; and that tue
United States Of America should main
tain a strict neutrality between the con-
tending powers and accord to each ell the
rights of belligerents in the ports and
territories of the United States.
The committee also voted to make an
effort TO take up the Cuban question in
the Senate as soon as the urgent deficiency
bill and the resolu ion for the distribu-
tion of the appropriation bills can be dis
pOsed of.
