Reports from Consuls.

The reports upon which the sub COM
mittee's brief was based were from va
rious consuls, including Consul General
Lee. They make no recommendations
as to American policy but merely give
the situation as they see it, In view OF
the developments i'm the committee Sem
ator Morgan agreed not to press the
consideration of his resolution Thurs
day, but he will make an effort to have
the question made the unfinished busi-
ness Monday at o'clock. This ac-
quiesence on the Alabama senator's
part to temporary delay Is understood
to be given under the impression that 1t
will result I'm bringing to the resolution
the support of the entire committee on
foreign relations. This will. of course.
materially strengthen the resolution in
the senate and it is believed by its
friends will expedite its passage there.
1t is now probable that the committee
will not make any formal report and
that the correspondence will not be
given to the public for the present.
To Give President a Chance to Act.
The delay by the senate committee
on foreign relations in taking no action
until Monday is for the purpose of Civ
Ing the president an opportunity TO act.
Representatives have been made to the
president that there is necessity for i'm
mediate action. 1t has also been rep
resented that the matter of recognition
ought to be by the executive and not
by the legislative branch of the govern
ment The president has been urged
also to take some steps looking toward
the relief of the starving Americans in
Cuba. 1t Is the belief Of members OF
the committee that the president will
take action before Monday, but IL moth
ing Is done by that time there Is no
doubt that the committee will urge the
Morgan resolution in the strongest terms
possible. There will be practically
unanimous expression Of opinion In fa-
vor Of the resolution by the foreign re-
lations committee, Some may raise the.

Condition Deplorable.

They are not allowed to return TO
their plantations, even to pick berries
or to secure the least article of sub
sistence. They are, theoretically. under
the care of the Spanish army. but the
army is without commissariat. They
have no means of leaving the island.
Their condition is pronounced wholly
deplorable. The committee was es-
pecially impressed with this recital and
the opinion generally expressed that
the situation should be remedied if pos
sible. 1t was considered as placing
even a worse aspect upon the question
of our relations to Cuba than the inn
prisonment of Americans of which there
are now comparatively few instances.
The report also indicated a generally
wretched condition of all the inhabi-
tants of the island because Of the
scarcity of food and money, and espe-
cially in the centers of population. and
because also of the pressure of the most
malignant diseases. such as yellow few
er, smallpox and dysentery. These dis
ease the natives withstand with COM
parative ease, but they are especially
oppressive to the Spanish soldiery. The
reports indicate that the Spanish army
is not so strong now as 1t was year
ago, largely on account of these raw
ages while they indicate no diminution
Of the insurgent forces.

Warship Should Accompany ReIlef.

Members q the foreign relations COM
mittee have recommended to the presi-
dent that IL necessaryto secure the land
ing of food and clothing necessary to re-
..eVe the wants Of Americans, they
should be accompanied by an American
warship. The president has listened to
this advice, but has not indicated his
intention 20 act upon it. The committee
has list of heads of families represent
ing over 1o0 Americans who are said to
be in a starving condition. They are
represented to be "corraled" in towns
and unable to get out for food even il
they had the means TO procure 1t. The
correspondence represents that there are
thousands of Cubans in this condition.

SENATOR'S OBTAIN INFORMATION

Senate Foreign Relations Committee To
the President - Deaths of Americans
from Starvation Daily Reported-Gen-
eral Wretched Condition OF the Inhab-
itants-The Morgan Cuban Resolution.
Washington. May 14-An important
conference was held Wednesday after
noon at the White House between the
president and Senators Davis, Foraker
and Morgan Of the foreign relations
committee. The interview was the re-
suit of the decision reached by the COM
mittee not to continue the debate on
Senator Morgan's resolution recognizing
the belligelency Of the Cubans until the
exact policy Of the administration has
been defined. The members of the COM
mittee plainly asked the president what
he intended to do. In confidence. he told
them that il was not his purpose al the
present time to change the attitude of
the administration or to do anything
which could be construed by Spain as
a manifestation Of sympathy with the
insurgents. For that reason, he said.
he had refrained from sending warships
to Havana to protect the interests Of
American citizens.
Committee Hears Reports.
The committee on foreign relations
Thursday had the Cuban Question under
consideration on the basis of the report
Of the sub committee appointed Wednes
day to confer with the president and
Secretary sherman. The report was
prepared by Senators Davis and Fora
ker the Republican members of the
subcommittee. Senator Morgan, the
Democratic member, declining to par
ticipate i'm it. The report consisted of
concise statement of the contents of Off
cial reports from American consuls IN
Cuba, bringing the information up TO
within week of the present time. This
report confirms the newspaper reports
az to the situation of affairs i'm the ISL
and and even goes farther in depicting
deplorable situation than do
most of the newspaper stories. Es-
pecial stress is laid upon the condition
| of American citizens in the island. OF
! these it is positively stated that there
are hundreds in a starving condition
and most wretchedly clothed. Deaths
| of Americans from starvation are daily
! reported They are scattered in all
parts of the island and are shown no
| consideration whatever, because of their
American citizenship. They are gener-
ally persons who reside on the planta-
tions but who have been driven from
their homes to the towns. and who, be-
| ing among strangers and without en-
! ployment are compelled to subsist on
/ almost nothing.
