CUBAN CONFERREEs AGREE.
They VIII Report the Resolutions
Tint Passed the Senate.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. March &c.
The conferrees on the Cuban resolutions.
after a short session this afternoon.
agreed to the resolutions as they ORR
ginally passed the Senate. This result
was practically reached yesterday. 1t
shuts off all further debate In the Sen
ate. where there was the evidence OF
shirt of antagonism that the commit
tee believed would be expressed to the
ultimate defeat of any and all resolu-
tions. The House. II is believed. will
agree to the report without delay. In
the form as thus agreed to the resolu-
lions are as follows:
'Resolved by the Senate. the House
of Representatives concurring, That,
in the opinion OF Congress. a condition
of public war exists between the Gov
eminent of Spain and the government
proclaimed, and for some time main
tanned by force of arms by the people
of Cuba; and that the United States of
America should maintain strict neu-
trality between the contending Powers
according to each all the rights OF belli-
gerents In the ports and the territory Of
the United States.
"Resolved, further, That the friendly
offices of the United States should be
offered by the President to the Spanish
Government for the recognition OF the
independence OF Cuba"
The action OF the five conferrees was
unanimous. Senator Lodge. OF Massa-
chusetts, the sixth member OF the COM
mittee, was absent
II has not been doubted from the first
that the House conferrees would agree
20 the Senate resolutions. since II was
known that the system of flibustering,
which has already been pursued in the
Senate. would be continued II the effort
20 mass the House resolutions was
maintained At the meeting to-day the
Senate coinvirees reaffirmed the state
Ynents 10 his effect, that were made by
Their, yesterday, although asserting that,
could the House resolutions be brought
10 a vote, II would be found that two
thirds of the Senate would favor
their adoption. The House conferrees,
who have held out strongly for their
own resolutions. saw the futility OF fur
tber argument, and, by consenting TO
accept the Senate resolutions. brought
the three-days' conference to an end.
Mr. Hit. chairman Of the House For
eign Affairs Committee, VIII at the first
opportunity call up the conference re-
port, and ask its consideration. 1t will
probably be followed by some debate.
but II IL not doubted that II VIII be
adopted.
