washington, March 5-For a lonr
time this afternoon Ii looked as though
the cuban question would be finally dis
posed OF In the senate by agreeing TO
the conference report accepting the
mousse resolutions. At the conclusion Of
MitchelIs elaborate argument OF the
Dupont case. Sherman presented the
report of the confreres and asked for
immediate action. Representatives
Hit and Adams, two Of the house con-
freres, were present at the time, as IL
was expected the report would be
adopted. But as II was then 3 O'Clock.
not more than a dozen senators were
present. and Hale Of Maine suggested
that II was undesirable to crowd
through resolution OF this magnitude
at a late hour and with an empty SEN
ate. This brought considerable sharp
debate. Chandler. who had not before
been heard on Cuba, declared himself
In favor of not only recognizing, but of
maintaining the independence OF Cuba
even IL 1t resulted in war with Spain.
Hawley expressed sympathy with the
ANtihk against SPAIN, YET ne
feared the earnestness and eagerness of
the United States would involve US in
war. not only with Spain but with other
European countries. He deprecated
the fippancy with which warllke utter
ances We're made. Sherman concluded
to let the subject go over until Mon
day. the senate having agreed to ad-
journ until then. and he gave notice
that he would call up the report dur
ing the morning hour. lasting from II
to 2.
Washington. March 5.-The question
OF Cuban independence came up unex-
pectedly i'm the senate to-day when AL
len. populist. Nebraska, presented a
resolution directing the president to is
sue proclamation recognizing the in
dependence of Cuba. Objections from
Hale of Maine TO a request OF Allen for
unanimous consent TO make a speech
on the resolution directed matters to an
exchange of personalities Inconsistent
with senatorial courtesy. The Nebras-
ka senator warmly announced that II
Hale objected. the latter could take
warning he would not receive unani-
nous consent on any measure as long
as he. Allen, was I'm the senate
This brought from Chandler, republi-
can. a declaration that he would give
consent to no senator who prefaced his
request with a threat against senator's
in general.
Allen retorted that his remarks were
applicable to Hale, and not TO senators
in general. and that he had no apollo
giles to offer as to Hale. Hale said he
would have no vendetta with Allen.
and thought each could be in better
business than watching to pay each
other of. Allen closed the incident by
stating that he would postpone the
speech IL Hale gave his consent to such
a course.
The senate passed a bill TO pay.
Charles p. Choteau s174.O0o for a bat
terry furnished during the war; and a
resolution directing the judiciary COM
mittee TO investigate the subject OF

The conferees on the Cuban resolu-.
tion, after a conference OF 40 minutes
to-day. agreed upon the house substi-t

from their Cuban resolutions
and accepting those OF the house ends
the matter. as far as the house is con-
cerned. except for the simple announce

port OF its confereers and that action Is
to the house. Hit will ex-
plain what has been done.
