/ ing on the cOndlLlOn OF hIAlHS IN Lne
island, and on these make it's recon-
mendatons and report This report
win generalize the situation without
making public such matters as state
| department officials and the committee
think would be prejudicial to persons
on the island.
Some questions have arisen as to the
| effect the report of he committee or the
information at the state department
may have upon the resolution now
! pending in the senate. Members of
the committee do not express an opin
ion on the subject, but enough is
| known to justify the conclusion that
instead of weakening the resolution
its friends will find cause for insisting
that there is a strong reason for pass
ing It. The object of the foreign rela-
tions committee, which has deprecated
hasty action, and suggested that the
resolution be referred to the committee,
! is that the senate should not act III the
| premises until there is more informa-
tion at hand
/ The opponents Of the resolution have
| declared that the newspaper reports
of the conditions in Cuba are not
based upon facts and greatly exag-
! gerated Those who have become ac-
quainted with the reports in the state
department are of the opinion that the
reports in the press have been in the
main correct. One member of the
committee who had listened to the
summary of the reports i'm the depart
meut said that a very serious condi-
ton existed in Cuba, and that the in
quiry now being made by the commit
tee would result in bringing to light
the exact facts.
Some structures were passed upon
members of the foreign relations COM
mittee who about a year ago voted for
a resolution similar to the one now
pending, and who now ask for time to
consider the matter with more delib-
Grafton. Speaking of this criticism
Chairman Davis, of that committee,
said at the time the former resolu-
ton was reported Gomez was at the
head of a large army in the eastern
end of the island and Maceo was at the
head of another army in the west.
They could march from one end to the
other OF Cuba, Campos had been de-
feated I'm a great battle, and was shut
within solid fortificatlons and condned
to a small territory around Havana,
Every one knew that a state of war
existed That was a year ago. Great
is dead and his army dispersed. Co
nez is at the head of but small force
Certainly it is no such army as was re.
ported then. There are conflicting
statements as to the strength of the
Insurgents and the control which
Spain has over the island. 1t is Ti.;hs
and ui oper that the facts that hav3
since reached the state department
should be laid before the senate and
the committee so that intelligent ac.
ton can be had" Mr.. Davis says that
the sympathy with struggling Cubans
Is as great as ever.
Another member Of the committee
said That the senate was practically
without official information for nearly
q year. The senate would not be JUS
tilted in acting upon information a
year, or even six months old. What IL
wanted was the facts as they had been
reported from time to time and up tc
date.
The Republicans of the committee
do not feel justified in pushing the ad-
ministration until It has had time tC
act 1t has been pointed out that only
two months have elapsed since the ad'
ministration came into power, and Il
has scarcely had time to take up and
consider so important a matter as thai
= which has been presented. The pend.
ing resolution, unlike a joint resolu.
ton, will require the executive either
to approve or disapproVe of it. This be-
ing the case, the Republican senators
feel that they should act in concert
with the executive. 1t is not believed
that in ease the senate foreign re-
lauons committee find upon thorough
examination of the reports in the state
department that the resolution is JUS
E tilted, any effort will be made to pre-
vent its passage.
Members of the committee on for.
eign relations feel that the question
; which confronts the senate is serious
and any action that is taken by the
senate will have great weight with the
r administration. In case the resolution
should pass both senate and house
r there is no reason to believe that II
would not be approved, and that the
United States government would there
after conduct itself on the lines which
It lays down.
