Senate Committee of Foreign Affairs
Disposed to Yield Time.

Washington, March 30.-The senate
committee on foreign relations held two
sessions today and adjourned a few
minutes before o'clock without reach
ing any agreement.
The committee, as a result of its ses-
sion, agreed to postpone the compile
ton of the committees work on the
Cuban situation for a few days, in or
der to afford time to the president to
continue his diplomatic negotiations
with the Spanish authorities. This con-
cession was the result of a request
made direct to members of the COM
mittee by the president, and it was
granted by the entire committee, with
out any murmur of dissent.
Previous to this action on the part of
the committee, the president had been
frankly informed that neither the COM
mittee nor the senate would be dis
posed to acquiesce in any agreement
for an armistice. This opposition is
understood to have been made clear on
behalf of the joint Republican
and Democratic steering committees of
the senate, and it is understood to have
been met by the president with the re
Spouse that this government would not
press the matter.
The president freely admitted to all
visiting senator's that the negotiations
with Spain were rapidly approaching a
crisis. and said that he felt confident
