ton.
The conferees had great difficulty in
agreeing The first conference showed
la determination on the part Of the
House not to yield a single point, and
It was only after long consultations
with the House leaders that they
laVreed TO allow 10 stand the little
words, "are and" in the first section
Of the Senate resolution, which de-
clares that the people Of Cuba are, and
Of right ought to be, free and inde-
pendent
The resoluticrs as finally adopted
