For a long time large majority In
both houses has favored recognition of
the independence Of Cuba: for more
than two years as voiced In resolutions
passed by congress the recognition Of
belligerency has been sought. Both of
these propositions were antagonized in

regard the message did not accord with

Ell Imparcial, commenting on this in

WASHINGTON April 1.-THE future
Of the relations Of the United States
with Spain and to Cuba now rests with
congress, the representative body Of
the American people. What course the
elected men composing it will pursue
cannot be foretold tonight.
The foreign committees Of both
houses have the subject in their con-
troll and after due deliberation will re-
port to their respective branches what
they consider should be the attitude
of the United States on the grave ques-
ton presented.
Early action by the committees Is
expected, but exactly when 1t may be
looked for is not now determinable.
The full responsibility of the subject
was placed upon congress, when Presi-
dent Mckinley today transmitted to 1t
a carefully prepared and anxiOusly
awaited message relating to our nego-
tiations with Spain as to it's warfare
in Cuba and drawing therefrom his
personal conclusions and recommends

words:
