STRONGER THAN THE SENATES.
The Cuban resolutions passed by the
House this evening were, II anything.
stronger than those passed by the Senate
last week. The galleries were packed
and there was full attendance Of the
members Of the lower branch OF Con
gress, but there was a noticeable lack or
enthusiasm with which the first r9solu-
tons Of the Cuban question passed both
houses. The vote showed cOnclusiyely
that the sympathy OF Congress and the
country Is with the struggling Cubans in
their efforts for independence. During
the limited debate there were several
strong speeches made In opposition 10 the
resolutions in whole or IN part by the
minority. which numbered on.y sixteen
The majority vote was 2S Among those
opposing the resolutions was Representa-
tive Tucker. OF Virginia, who led the
minority. He said the policy ~ tn' T1v-
eminent should be friendly with al for
eign nations; that the House had lost its
head I'm interfering with the Cuban affair.
that our relations with Spain were ami
cable, and that while he was in favor of
ell people fighting for their freedom, II
was not his opinion hat this government
was called upon for Intervention. or the
Virginia delegation. MI. Tucker Demo
craft and Mr.. Walker Republican, voted
against the resolutions. and Msssrs. Otey
and Swanson voted for them. While the
passage OF the resolutions was greeted
with applause, there was no wild scene
such as was witnessed In both houses
last week. The resolutions passed to-
day will have now to 90 back 10 the
Senate for concurrence, and they will
then probably 90 TO the President. While
they have not the force Of a joint resou-
ton or a bil, IL H. presumed that the
President will give them all the CON
slderation they are entitued TO, but HIS
action In the matter is only problemati-
