sion till vote Is reached.

by number of Democrats. intend to have
the House resolution adopted Certain

ly. Conservative Democratic Senators do
not approve it. Senator Gray Is an ex'
ample. Ho supported the resolution, not
tho report, in committee.

tor Cushinan X Davis Here again is a
peculiar state of affairs. Members OF tho
committee supported the resolution, but
di5approved OF the report. Others, ike
Foraker, approved the report, but were
against the resolution.

will triumph.

our ships with supplies, and probably with
cannon, to CuDans.

cur, our war-ships will probably block
Havana Harbor, and troops invest the
city from the rear.
But tho plan of intervention will remain
with the President
