 accomplish what he wants to do.
 Senator Pe.tigrew said: Tt is the yet; it sums up the situation by saying we must recognize neither Oelligerency nor independence, but in- tervene to stop the war. Spain has already accomplished this result by cessation of hostilities, thus leaving for us to do but continue to make appropriations to feed the Gu ban people,"
 Senator Chandler's view of the mes sage iS as follows: First, a graphic and powerful description of the hor- rible condition of affairs in Cuba Sec ond, an assertion that the indepen- dence of the revolutionists shall not be recognized until it has achieved it's own independence beyond the possi- bility of an overthrow. Third, an ar gument against the recognition of the Cuban republic. Fourth, as to in in the interest of humanity. that is we'll enough, and also on ac- count of the injury to commerce and the peril to our citizens and to gen. orally uncomfortable conditions all around. Fifth, illustrative of these uncomfortable conditions is the de- struction of the Maine; it helps make the existing situation intolerable; but Spain proposes an arbitration, to which the president has no reply. Sixth, on the whole. as the war goes on and Spain cannot end it, mediation or intervention must take place.
 President Cleveland said Intervep- tion would finally be necessary The enforced pacifcation of Cuba must come. War must stop. therefore the president should be authorized to ter minate hostilities, restore peaca and establish a stable government, and to use the military and naval forces Of the United States to accomplish these results; and food supplies should be also furnished by the United States.
 "P. S.-Spain has a new made offer which, it is to be hoped, will receive the most careful attention. Im- pliedly, congress is asked to adjourn as soon as possible"
 Senator Hawley. chairman of the committee on military affairs, also pronounced it an able paper and said that he thought it would meet with general approval.
 Senator Elkins. conservative re- publican, said: Tt states the case ad- mirably and it will be sustained by the people and by congress"
 Senator Allison. chairman of the committee on appropriations, would only say: Tt is very good"
 Senator Hale, conservative repubii- can, and chairman of the committee on naval affairs, went further in his commenting, saying: "The message is admirable in all respects. and espe- cially so in that it points out the way whereby Cuba can get good govern ment and be free and without bring ing us into awkward international complications"
 MT. Joy, republican of Missouri, said: T shall be satisfied with noth- ing less than armed intervention, look ing to the independence of the Cuban people and the expulsion. of the Span- ish flag from Cuban soil"
 Representative Cannon of Illinois, chairman of the appropriations com mittee: ''It is a strong, well de llvered paper. The presidents re- sponslb1lity is now with congress. Such steps will be vigorously taken as will relieve the United States as we'll as the island of Cuba from em- barrassments which have hitherto ex- isted."
 MT. Grosvenor of Ohio: "The mes sage, when hot blood which has been so properly melted by the course of events, has had time to cool will be recognized as an able, patriotic and wise state paper. The message will be approved by all the civilized world"
