Resolution to BE Reported by Senate
Foreign Relations Committee.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The full Senate
committee Oh foreign relations has practi-
cally agreed, to-day, to accept the recon-
mendations of the subcommittee for a. res
olution recognizing the independence of Gu
ba and recommending armed Intervention if
necessary to secure it. This conclusion was
reached after a session to-day that did not
continue for more than an hour, and SO far
as can be learned there was no division cf
opinion expressed in the committee as to
the propriety of this course. Senators Gray.
Daniel and Turpie We're absent but the
opinion is expressed that none of them will
make any opposition to the reporting of the
resolution The general lines of the Foraker
resolution will be followed in the resolution
reported by the committee The full com
mittee gave most of its attention to the text
of the report which will be made to accom-
pany the resolution and which has been
prepared by Senator Davis. After the COM
mittee had been sitting for a brief time
Mr.. Davis called a carriage and made a
hurried trip to the White House for the
purpose OF comparing views With the PreSi-
delt ON some points to be made The COM
mittee had also Admiral Irwin before it for
some time to-day examining him as a tor
pedo expert on the Maine disaster and also
on the strength Of the Spanish torDedo flo
tilla and the best course for this country
to pursue in meeting it.
While the Foraker resolutions are made
the basis and the principal part of the
measure which will be reported to Congress
there are some additions to them and some
unimportant changes in phraseolcgy. The
most important, and in fact the only essen
tial addition. is a paragraph fixing the re-
sponsibility en- Spain for the Maine disaster
and citing this. as a cause for American re-
sentiment If not for war;
The committee was in communication with
the President during the day and was in
formed that while the President would
make an earnest effort TO get his message
to Congress on Monday ne might not be
able on account OF the great demands upon
his time to get it in before Tuesday. He
will at the same time supply copies of the
consular correspondence. There has been
some doubt as to what recommendations
the President would make, If any, in his
message, but he gave the members or the

derstand that be would recommend both =

correspondent of the Associated Press that

conference was held here last night which

leading powers, several OF whom had seen

WASHINGTON. April 2.-The Post to-
morrow will say: Directions have been

ton became necessary. The American

said a Republican representative. 'ft will
sober that body perhaps" The prevailing
belief is that he will make a recommenda-
tion. There is said to be an attempt on
the part of certain conservative senator's to
prevent any stronger action by Congress
than the recognition of Cuban independence,
in the hope that the negotiations may then
be reopened and war averted. But the pre-
vailing sentiment at this moment seems to
be to go farther and enforce recognition by
armed intervention. This was the position
taken by General Grosvenor. of Ohio. in
his speech last Thursday. General Gros-
venor says that if war is declared he is in
favor of authorizing the President to call
out two million men and use as many as
are necessary to make the war short, sharp
and decisive. The ultra-conservatives are
basing their opposition to Intervention on
the ground of Spains recent revocation of
the reconcentrado decree and her measures
for feeding and otherwise relieving their
misery.
A very prominent member of the House,
who saw the President to-day. says that the
President. in his message, will recommend
action which will be perfectly satisfactory
to the Republicans, and which, with possibly
few exceptions will rally them and the
country to his support. He says the diplo-
matte correspondence will be such that the
Republican party and the country will be
proud of, and further that the legal facts
IN the case are very ably handled by Attor-
ney General Griggs. Tine message probably
viii not be sent in before Tuesday. The
Maine affair, it is said will not be touched
on probably. This is regarded as very un-
fortunate by many prominent Republicans,
who believe that if we are to have war the
blowing up of the Maine constitutes the
strongest ground. Some of them have ap-
pealed TO the President to include that in
the message. AS a sample of the express
sions that were heard to-day the opinion of
Representative Hull, of Iowa. one of the
House leaders, can be given. II regard
war as inevitable as the future" said he.
