The feeling was very intense among
some Republicans, and there was In.
dicaiions of bitter, determined contest
Republicans who desire 10 concur IN the
senate resolutions claim that they had
enough votes 10 carry the motion and
the Republican leaders were equally con.
hdont OF nonooneurrenoe.
The Republican leaders then decided
10 concur IN the senate resolutions with
an amendment striking out the necogni.
tion Of the existing republic Of Cuba.
This motion will take precedent over all
other motions.
There was some objection 10 the fourth
section Of the resolution, which declares
against annexation IN any form, but the
leaders decided in view Of the fact that
the senate had unanimously adopted it,
10 let it stand.

out the Cuban independence recogni.
ton.
