OF Porto Rico, which took place on May
-, and gave to SIMPSONS fleet it's first
opportunity to engage concertedly in &C.

affair.

FOR FORClBLE INTERVENTION
Said the Senate Committee
Will So Report.
MEMBERS FAVORABLE TO CUBA
Express the Opinion That Iess Radical
Action Would He of No Avail 1t
the Present Time.

WASHINGTON. March 30.-Much in
terest is felt in the meeting Of the
senate committee on foreign relations
to consider the various Cuban resolu.
tons introduced in the senate. In
view of the records of the member OF
the committee on the Cuban question
and their present attitude there is no
uncertainty that their action will be
pronouncedly favorable to the Cubans.
1t 10 too early to say what form as to
the phraseology the resolution to be
reported will take, but the members Of
the committee individually spoken to
express the opinion that it will declare
for forcible intervention. Such is the
purport of the resolutions introduced
and the general feeling is that any less
radical action would be Of no avail and
devoid of meaning. in view of the former
action of the senate. The committee
may accept the form Of one Of the reso-
lutions presented or formulate new
one.

TROOPS FOR DRY TORTUGAs

Twenty NTH Jnfantry, . Colored Regi-
msut, Ordered to the Island.
WASHINGTON, March 80.-By direc-
ton of General Miles, commanding
the army, orders were issued for tho
transfer Of the Twenty.fifth regiment
to the Dry Tortugas. The fact that
this regiment 10 made up Of colored
troops is regarded as quite significant
in showing the purpose OF the war de.
partment to concentrate colored troops
in the vicinity of Cuba, inasmuch as it
is recognized that the negro is better
able to Withstand the Cuban climate
than the white man. There are three
other colored regiments in the army.

lndulging in War Talk Inter-

special to The News says: "There 10
only one chance in a hundred that war
will be averted."
Such was the remark Of one Of the
most prominent members of the cab.
met, who has been conspicuous as q
''peace member" Private Secretary
to the President Porter said during the
afternoon that the president had deter
mined to settle the issue this week, and
q message is looked for at once.
1.-THE president" said Mr.. Porter,
is tired of the criticism of congress. He
will ask congress to do one Of two
things-either take the question and
settle it in its own way, or leave the
executive free and untramm eled. The
president feels he should not be blamed
and criticized.
Congress blames him for not acting
and INDUCES in war talk when he is
doing his best to avert war. The talk
IN congress interferes with negotia.
tions looking to peace"
There is scarcely doubt that con.
gross in its present temper will declare
war. 1t 10 expected that tho president
will unload upon congress the entire
situation and without making recon.
mendation leave the legislative branch
of the government to work out the
problem in it's own way.
