RECOGNITION FOR CUBA.
The Subject to be Considered by the
Senate Foreign Affairs
Committee.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Very
general interest is manifested

meeting OF the coumitte on

been ANNOUNCED for Saturday tC

before it bearing upon the for>
eign questions which haverecen-
tly been receiving such general
attention. It is understood now
thai the Senate will tomorrow
adjourn over until Monday and
IN case it does the committee will
probably hold an all day session,
and cansider the Cuban, Arme-
nian and Venezuelan questions
While there is no positive in
formation ObtaiEable at this time,
there are reasons for believing
that preference will be given to
the Cuban question, This guess
tion will be considered when
taken up on the basis Of the pro-
priety Of recognizing the belIig-
erency of the insurgents.
There is unque stiOnably ma
jority of the committee favorable
to granting this recognition, but
there may be a division of senti-
ment as to the time when
it should be given. There is a
feeling on the part of conserva
tive Senators that too great pres
in this direction may
dc the Cuban cause more injury
than benefit, Some of the mems
bers Of the committee feel that
The time is almost ripe for pos
itive demonstration on the part
Of this country in Turkish waters
to emphasize the determination
OF the United States to protect
its subjects in that quarter. The
committee will consider the ad-
of move for that pur-
pose. 1t is believed that the
Venezuelan problem, while the
most important of all, may be
longer than the 9th
ers in view of the fact that the
of the special com
mission has had the effect Of
postponing any crisis in that con
nectiOn for the present.
