Washington, Dec. 9.-The senate
committee on foreign relations met to-
day and discussed the Cuban situation
but did not take any action upon the
bills and resolutions before it. The dis
cussion was extremely general in char
acter, and while there was recognition
of the Importance of some action there
was considerable division of opinion as
to what curse should bepursued.
Senator Mills advocated active inter-
vention by the United States govern
ment with armies and announced his
intention to introduce a resolution di-
recting this course.
Senator Cameron also gave notice oil
his purpose to press for a decided
course by this government and to in.
troduce another resolution. In view on
these intentions and because OF the i'm.
portance OF the subject the entire mat.
ter was postponed for future consider
alton.
The friends of Cuba, who are large.
ly in the majority in the committee, ex
press the opinion that the Cubans are
holding their own, which, under the
circumstances, is a decided gain.
