SYMPATHY
About All the Resolutions of
Senate and House Will
Amount To.
The Attitude of the AdminiStra-
ton Not Relished by Some
Congressman
But the Leaders Are Not in Favor
of Going Further Than
They Have.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The state
ment Of the views of the administra-
ton upon the question Of recognizing
the Cuban belligerents created interest
in the house. Several members who
are enthusiastic for Cuba, suggested
that the resolutions should be reconsid-
cred and changed from concurrent to
joint resolutions, so that President
Cleveland would be compelled to sign
them or veto them, but this proposal
was discouraged by the leaders in for
eign affairs. 1t is pointed
out that the administration practi-
cally holds the same position that Pres
ident Grant maintained during the 10
years rebellion. Most of the constitu.
tional authorities concede that recogni.
tion is an executive act, SO that the
friends of the revolution find little
ground for hope that recognition will
be extended until the insurgents win q
decisive victory or materially change
their plans of campaign and govern.
ment. Members of the foreign affairs
committee say that congress has done
all that is i'll its power in expressing by
the medium of resolutions its convic-
tons upon the policy which the govern
ment should pursue.

CLEVELAND'S ATTITUDE.
President Not in Favor Of Recognizing
tho InsurgentA.

President Not in Favor Of Recognizing
tho Insurgents.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The presi-
dent and his cabinet are undoubtedly
strongly opposed to the present recog-
milton of the belligerency Of the Cuban
insurgents and to any declaration con-
corning their independence, as en-
bodied in recent congressional resolu.
tons. The following is not al official
statement, but it is known from care
full inquiry that it accurately repre-
sents the Administrations views of the
matter:
While the president and the members
of the cabinet personally feel the SYM
pathy, common to all Americans, with
those Cubans who are contending for
self government, they feel that in their
official action they should not depart
from the we'll settled principles which
were followed by former presidents and
secretaries of state during prior insur-
rections in Cuba.
The situation Reviewed.
Both independence and belligerency
are facts and their recognition by other
powers, as the term implies, is merely
formal acknowledgment of a state Of
things which, rightly or wrongly, has
come about.
When a people, united under some
known and defined form Of govern.
ment which adm ,nisters its functions
by the usual methods, come to occupy
and control a known territory over
VIII CHI it affords protection t o citizens
and strangers, a new state exists. Re.
fusal of recognition would not change
the fact any more than premature
recognition" could create it. The for.
mer would be merely q slight to the
new government, just as the latter Is
merely an affront to the old one. The
question necessarily is always what
government is actually in control of
the country.
Recognition Of BeilIgerency
depends u II the same facts and is
only . mou Aed form Of recognizing in

PHILADELPHIA, March 5.-The su-
preme court, in q decision by Justice
Williams, overruled all assignments of
error in the case of II. H. Holmes, SEN
fenced to death for numbering Ben
jamin F. Pietzel. and confirmed the
Judgment of the court below. The
