CUBANS' HOPE

M'KINLEY WANTS NO ACTION
The Resolution Doomed to Lie on the
Table in the House for Some
Time Yet
Associated Press specIal wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, May 20.-Precident
Mckinley is not likely to be called upon
to take action upon the Cuban resolu-
tion passed by the senate today for
some time, and perhaps not at all. The
resolution will not be sent to him for his
approval until it has been adopted by
it up must be decided hereafter. 1t is
known that Mr.. Mckinley desires the
postponement of the final congressional
action on the Cuban question until the
report of Mr.. Calhoun, who is, on the
island to investigate the conditions
there, has been made.
Mr.. Hit, the Republican leader in the
house, said guardedly in the debate to-
day that the adoption of the Morgan
resolution at this time might embarrass
negotiations which the president has IN
mind to secure the independence of
Cuba, and although Mr.. Hit expressly
disclaimed that he spoke by authority 1t
was we'll known that he had been in con-
sultatlon with the president on Cuban
affairs, and his utterance was taken ae
reflection of the wish of the executive.
The senate resolution can be brought
before the. house only by special rule,
and Speaker Reed is known to be op-
po9ed to its adoption at this time
There may be much pressure brought
to bear by the Republicans, who think
early action on the Cuban question ad-
visable to have the resolution adopted
by the house, but SO long as the leaders
consider that it may embarrass Presi-
dent McKinley's plans, it Is likely to
lie on the table.

The joint investigation of the Ruiz

who was in Jail with the unfortunate
American in Guanabacoa at the time of
Ruiz's death, has been re-arrested

politely to free American investiga-

ATHENS, May 20-An armistice be-

formally concluded today.
M. Ralli. the premier, in the course OF
an interview today said: 1.-The indem-
nifty which Greece will pay to Turkey
will be in proportion to the resources of
Greece and her financial position. The
cession of territory is out of the ques-
ton. Greece cannot accept modifica-
tion of the strategic frortier which
would render easy the raiding of Greek
territory by armed bands and which
would compel Greece to maintain nu-
merous army in order to prevent incur
sions.'

An armistice was also formally con-
cluded today for seven days between

definitely decided it is thought the peace
negotiations will be concluded between
Turkey and Greece direct and after
wards, following the precedent of the

A NEUTRAL ZONE

stood that Turkey wants the commits
sion to be constituted of the foreign mil
itary attaches with the two armies.
Crown Prince Constantine, it is said,
sent a personal appeal to the czar not to
allow the Greek army to be crushed by
force four times greater than itself.
and that as consequence the czar in
sisted upon an armistice.
The correspondent Of the Standard
at Constantinopie says: The armistice
has caused widespread discomfort
among the Turkish troops in Thessaly
and Epirus, and the military commits
sion has ordered the most prominent
grumblers to be sent home under es-
cort. The priests who are with the
army have been instructed to preach
special sermons exhorting the soldiers
to be loyal and obedient. An imperial
order prohibits the sale of drawings,
photographs or poetry dealing with the
war or with the exploits of the. army,
the object Of the prohibition being to
prevent AM individual general becoming
popular hero.
The Rome correspondent of the Daily
Mail says he learns on unquestionable
authority that the powers have agreed
on the chief conditions of peace-name-
ly, indemnity to the amount of 5000, 900
guaranteed by control of the Greek GUS
