INTERVIEWED.
HE BELIEVES THE CAMERON
RESOLUTION ONLY AN EN-
PRESTON.
The Power to Recognize Cuba as a Re-
public Exclusively the Prerogative
OF the Executive Department-Sit-
uation in Spain-Weyler VIII
Make a Grand Effort.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 2O.-The
Cameron Cuban resolution, if pressed
TO final passage in both houses. will
constitute a direct and formidable is
sue between the executive and the leg
isiative branches of the government.
This is clearly indicated by the follow
ing interview given out by Secretary
Olney:
Secretary Olney, being asked his
opinion as to the nature and effect of
the proposed resolution recognizing
the independence Of the republic of
Cuba, said:
Il have no objection to stating my
own view of the resolution respecting
the independence of the so-called re-
public of Cuba. which, it is reported, is
to be laid before the senate on Monday.
Indeed, as there are likely to be serious
misapprehensions regarding such reso,
luton, both in this country and abroad,
and as such apprehensions may have
injurious results of a grave character,
it is perhaps, my duty to point out that
the resolution, If passed by the senate,
can be regarded only as an expression
OF opinion by the eminent gentlemen
who vote for it in the senate, and, il
passed by the house of representatives
can only be regarded as another ex.
preston of opinion by the eminent
gentlemen who vote for it in tie house.
The power to recognize the social.
ed republic of Cuba as an independent
state rests exclusively with the execu.
tive. A resolution on the subject by
the senate or by the house, or by both
bodies or by one, whether
or joint. remains imperative and i'm
portant only as advice of great weight.
voluntarily rendered to the executive
regarding his constitutional functions,
The operation and effect Of the pro-
posed resolution, therefore, even il
passed by both house of congress. or by
a two-thirds vote, are perfectly plain.
1t may raise expectations in some quar-
tiers which can never he real,zed II
may infiame popular passions, both in
this country and elsewhere, may thus
put in peril the lives and property OF
American citizens who are resident ami
travelling abroad, and will certainly OBJ.
struct and perhaps defeat the best ef.
forts Of this to afford s,ch
citizens due protection, But. except in
these WAYS and nles the advice em,
bodied in the resolution shall lead tina
executive to revise conclusions already
reached and officially declared. the res,
olution will be without effect and will
have unaltered the attitude of this gov,
eminent towards the two %contendine
parties in Cuba"
The impression here is hat Secre.
tary Olney's statement pointing out the
lack of legality of the massage of the
Cameron Joint resolution was called
forth by a desire to minimize the dan.
