Little Prospect of an Early Vote on the
Cuban Resolutions

Cuban Resolutions.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-The indi-
cations are that the Cuban, question
and the Dupont election case will con-
tinue to claim the greater share of the
attention of the senate during the pres
ent week, though other matters will be
undoubtedly considered at different
times. There is an understanding that
in case it is made apparent that the
Cuban matter can be speedily disposed
of, the managers for Mr.. Dupont will
not stand IN the way.
Senator Sherman is exceedingly de-
sirous Of getting the Cuban resolutions
out Of the way at the earliest practical
BILE time and will press consideration.
The senators who are opposing the res
olutions are. however, not inclined to
fall in with this design, and there is
now no prospect of an immediate vote
on the conference report. 1t is init.
mated that the president is likely to
send message to the senate on the
Cuban question in response to Senator
Hoar's resolution of inquiry, and if he
should do so it unquestiOnably will
have influence either in eXpediting or
retarding final consideration Of the
question III the senate.
