cause a resolution to recognize the revolu-
ton has not been brought forward and
passed Immediately and patriotic and senti-
mental reasons have been urged in support
Of this feeling. The foreign affairs commit
tee recognizes fully the existence of this
sentiment, but the subcommittee does not
feel justified in acting without the usual
elaboration, nor Is il at all certain that
they will deem II expedient for this govern
ment to recognize Cuba at once. Apart
from the sentimental reasons there is a
commercial phase OF the question, OF which
the foreign affairs members are not allowed
to remain in ignorance. There are sugar in
vestments in Cuba held by citizens of the
United States amounting TO some $780, COO
which have suffeed enormous damage at the
hands Ct the rebels in their raids SO long
as the revolution has no recognized stand
ing Spain Is responsible for these losses.
and the owners OF plantations hope TO be
able TO secure reparation from her at some
future day. When this government formally
takes notice of the fact that state OF war
exists In Cuba its citizens will have no
ground upon which TO base their claims
These considerations tend 10 retard recogni-
ton. Whether they will defeat the move
uent for recognition remains to be seem
