The con- ferees on the part of the Senate will stand out for their resolution. The first report will robably be a disagree ment and each house will then have an opportunity to recede from it's position. Neither is expected to do so and further conferences will be ordered.
 The indications are that the final re- suits will be a compromise. After the decisive majority by which the House resolution was defeated in the Senate it is not believed that body will accept and the Republican majority of the House is equally determined not totake

the Senate resolution in the form in which it was adopted.
 Speaker Reed gave his assurance to Senators who consulted him to-day that the House would never agree to resoIu- tions recognizing the present so-called republic of Cuba. I have talked with a large number of leading Republicans in the House to-day representing all shades of opinion and I find that oppo- sition to recognizing the present gov ernment has been greatly strengthened by arguments which have been made in the Senate during the last few days.
 Senator SpOoner's speech yesterday was particularly effective in this direc- tion. The weight of opinion among Re- publican repro sentatives was that the resolution that would be finally agreed to by both houses would be substan- tially the same resolution as reported by the Committee on Foreign Relations without the Foraker amendment recog- nizing the presoa at so-called government of Cuba.
