Congress- early this morning
adopted the Senate Cuban resoIu-
tfOns. with the independence
clause stricken out. The proceed
ings were lively and exciting.
CRucuses and conferences were
numerous. The House met at 10
Il. M. yesterday, hut adjourned
till noon because the Sem
ate resolutions had not been
received. At the opening of
the regular session Mr.. Dingley
moved to concur In the senate
amendments, with an amendment
striking out the Turpie clause rec
ognizIng the independence of
Cuba, thus making the first pa ra-

14s-a motion TO recede and cOn-
cur in the Senate resolutions, and,
without division, asked for con-
ference, Messrs. Adams, HeatwOIe
and DinsmOre being appointed.
When this action was reported to
the Senate that body acquiesced,
and Senator's Davis, Foraker and
Morgan were named as cOnferees.
Both houses then took a recess un-
til 8 u. m. The conference COM
mittees met at once. The senate's
Representatives agreed TO strike
out the independence declaration,
but insisted on retaining the
wordn .'are, and" which had been
taken out by the House. A dis
agree.Alcnt was reported, and the
Senate upheld the action of it's
cOnferces, and refused, by a vote
Of 40 to 30, to appoint another
conference committee, and took a
recess till 1918 D. m. When the
House FecOnvened motion to re-

and n recess was taken till IL
o'clock. Then there was another
recess OF half AN hour. The sem

So
old cOnferees were reappOinted,
and then n rest was taken till mid
night. The House took three more
recessea--the last till 1 o'clock this
morning. Finally the cOnferees
reached aa agreement, as indi-
Gated above. The senate adopted
the report by a vote of AZ to 35y
and at 100 "a. In. adjourned. The
House, however, wrangIed for a
long time, but at last adopted the
report by an almost unanimous
vOte-51O 10 O.
The followers of Don Carlos, the
Spanish pretender, are said To be
preparing To overthrow the pres
ent dynasty. They believe the
time has come for energetic ac-
tion. IL is intimated, however,
that some of the European powers
Will give material support 10 the
Queen Regent by sending troops
into the peninsula.
Everybody I'm authority i'm Spain,
according to the dispatches, has
abandoned hope of avertinE hos
filities. The tone of the press and
the utterances Of the people have
grown pessImistic. The Cabinet
last night approved the draft of
speech from the throne which viii
he read in the COrtes tomorrow.
IL will urge Spaninris everywhere
10 rally around the young King.
There is little probability of the
powers taking further action.
Contracts were made with the
railways yesterday, and the United
States army Is now moving to-
wards the gulf.
