In private conversation the stand taken

of their constituents prevented their follow

felt that it would have been much better
for the executive to have issued mildly

neutrality and for congress to have let the

The Presidents Attitude.
The administration stands with the mi
norty in congress in opposition to the
Cuban resolutions. The president very
much deprecates the action which has
been taken by the senate and the house OF
representatives. and IL the resolutions
should he Joint in their character as was
at one time contemplated, they would be
vetoed
II is some relief to the administration
that the house abandoned the plan OF some
of the Republican leaders for passing IA
Joint resolution. 1t cannot be said with
certainty lust what form the measure will
finally take. but il is now certain that il
will be concurrent. and the president will
thus be left to act under it or not. as he
sees fiji.
As concurrent resolutions, they are
merely an expression of the opinion of
congress. and the president has no sym.
nathy with what he believes To he prema.
ture interference in the Cuban affair. He
Is Just as much opposed to recognizing the
peiilgerency OF the insurgents today as he
was three months ago
Mt Cleveland Is opposed to the recogni-
ton OF the insurgents as belligerents for
the reason That he does not believe they
nave yet made such Roadway toward the
establishments OF "a de facto government
ana complying Win the requisite condi-
tons as would properly entltie them TO
recognition. Inc president Is also opposed
to sach action for the reason that he does
not see what the Cunans are to gam by it.
The United states would be required to
MAINTAIN II position OF neutrality just As
strict or even stricter' than under the
present cohullonS, anu TINS would oper-
ate against the Cubans, who would desire
10 OBTAIN arms and munitions OF war in
TINS country; WINE spain not depending
upon 'he niteu states IN any way, would
nor DE ihtcriefrea with.
Inc president Is III fu'i sympathy with
those features OF each set OF resolutions
recommendlrg the use OF the good offices
OF Inc uhlt'd states to bring about a
termination "l 'he war ana at the proper
tlihc he Will oler to Use his good offices for
