The Resolution as Passed is the Same as inc Senate Resolution Except That the Turpie Amendment, Recognizing the Independence of Cuba, is Stricken Out Both Houses in Session Until Long After Midnight.
 Washington, April 19.-After one of two houses known in many years, con- gress at an early hour this morning came to an agreement upon the most momentous question it has dealt with in a third of century. The Cuban resolution has passed and will be sent to the president this morning. Its provisions mean the expulsion of Spain from Cuba by armed forces of the United States. There were many roll calls in both houses, and each body held out tenacious1y for it's own reso- lution. The conference had great diff ficulty in agreeing. The first confer ence showed determination on the part of the house not to yield a single point, and it was only after long con- ,s+l |, | | they agreed to allow the little words fare and" in the first section of the senate resolution, which declares that the people of Cuba are and of right ought to be free and independent. The resolution as finally adopted is that reported from the senate committee on foreign relations, with the addition of the fourth section, known as the Tel Ter amendment, disclaiming any inten- tion on the part of the United States to acquire Cuba. The resolution carl- not be sent to the president until after it is signed by the presiding officers to-day.
 The Resolution in Full.
 Resolved by the senate and house of rep resentatves of the United States of America in congress assembled:
 First-That the people of the island of Cuba are, and of right ought to be. free and independent;
 Second-That 1t is the duty of the United States to demand and the government of the United States does hereby demand, that the government of Spain at once relin- ouish its authority and government in the island of Cuba and withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters.
 Third-That the president of the United States be, and he hereby is, directed and empowered to use the entire land and naval forces of the United States, and to call into the actual service of the United States the militia of the several states to such extent as may be necessary to carry these resolutions into effect.
 Fourth-That the United States hereby disclaims any disposition or intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction, or control over said island, except for the pacifica- lion thereof; and asserts its determination, when that Is accomplished, to leave the government and control of the island to Its people.

The Evening Session.

Washington, April 1S.-According to the programme agreed upon before ad- journment this afternoon, the senate again convened at o'clock this even ing. MT. Chandler, upon the reconven- ing, suggested the absence of a quorum and the roll being called, fifty senators answered. The conferees returned at S:10 o'clock. There was stir in the galleries as the charman of the con- ference committee, MT. Davis, rose to present it's report The interest be- came intense, as it was whispered about that an agreement had been reached. MT. Davis said that after full and free discussion the conferees had failed to reach an agreement There was intense silence and then the gal leries showed their disappointment. MT. Davis stated the points of disa- greement. There had been no difficult ty in agreeing to the house resolutions as amended, but the point of conten- tion arose over the insertion of the words "are and' in the first section, which says the people of Cuba ''are and of right ought to be free and inde- pendent"
 Turpie Resolution Waived.
 He said the majority of the conferees had agreed to waive the Turpie amendment, providing the words above mentioned be inserted. But the sen ate conferees were met with a refusal to so agree. MT. Morgan, the minority member of the conference committee, stated that the chairman of the for eign relations committee spoke for the majority He thought there was little or no use to send the conferees again into conference unless it was indicated that the house would recede.

GENERAL WAR SITUATION.

Washington. May 19-With every
disposition on the part of he Executive
to make the present war short. sharp
and decisive. it is beginning to be real
lzed that the shortcomings of our mill
tary service are so many that the de
lays are inevitable and that much work
viii be necessary to put the nation in
efficient fighting shape.
Every day brings forth some weak
some hidden defect. such as the dis
covery at this late moment that every
volunteer appointment would forfeit
his commission in the regular army
and 50 become liable to be left out of
the service entirely at the end of the
war.
Few officers cared to risk their future
in that way, so a rush was made to-
wards Congress to secure the necessary
corrective legislation.
Again it has been found that the
equipment OF the army. small as it is
in comparison with the great army Of
the Rebellion is sadly lacking. Nearly
a month after the formal declaration of
war, the war department. today. pur-
chased a number of shelter tents. and
it has just secured the hammocks that
experts say are essential to existence
in Cuba.
The preparations involve delay, so
that it is not remarkable that in spite
Of the hercuean efforts of the officers
of the army no positive start has yet
been made towards its goal by the
army of occupation.
Probably it is this fact, rather than
any unreadiness on the part Of the
navy that causes the campaign to drag
in it's inception, for the navy depart-
mcnt has announced that it stood
ready at any moment to furnish cor
voys for the troops transports. provided
they were started from one point.
Cen. Miles had an interview, this
afternoon, with Capt. Crowninshield,
chief Of the navigation bureau, and
that is surmsed that this very subject
