ANOTHER PEACE SCHEME
A Deadlock in Congress Is
Being Planned.
THE PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE
Peace at Any Price Republican
Members COncOct n Plan Which
May Delay Immediate Action I'm
less They Are Arbitrarily OFerri6-
Neutrality-suspicious. Favored

New York April 1.-The World con-
tains the following startling special from
Washington dated yesterday:
A powerful effort is being made by
few senators to push independence rath-
er than Intervention to the front Some
of the most influential Republicans OF
the House would like to carry out such
policy Were the President TO recon-
mend Cuban independence the Repubh-
can side would undoubtedly sustain him.
This statement was made tonight by one
of the five leaders of the House
One idea favored is that the President
send his message to Congress as late in
the week as possible. The Committee on
Foreign Relations would take time for
consideration. The House committee
would report a resolution declaring for
independence The Senate would adopt
a more radical measure.
Then a committee of conference would
be appointed. The Speaker could be re-
lied on 10 select as the House members
mn with stiff backbones, as ne contin
ues opposed to war.
The two Houses could thus be kept, for
a time at least. in a deadlock All this
would depend for success upon the dis
position of the majority. The plan was
to give members an opportunity to make
speeches so they could place themselves
on record with their constituents.
Today attention is being directed to-
ward the White House. Conservative
senators would like the President TO rec
ommend independence. If the President
maks no positive recommendation in his
speech Congress would adopt a course
that would lead to war.
Secretary Olney made the decision that
the President alone has the right to
recognize the independence of nation.
Congress has not recognized Secretary
Olney's decision.
The President remains as anxious for
peace as ever. The statement Of Dr..
Klopsch yesterday produced a marked
impression on him. Tonight ,he subject
of an appropriation for the reconcentra-
does is again talked about at the Execu-
tive Mansion. The President believes that
the Cuban insurgents prefer a recognition
of independence to active intervention.
No denial from an authoritative source
can be obtained. There are two eXplana-
tiGns made of this alleged preference on
the part of the Cuban leaders. One is
that they fear the results of war The
United States flushed with victory and
seeking a money indemnity, might retain
possession of important Cuban ports
Another and more generally accepted ex-
PLANTATION is thar the Cuban leaders favor
recognition of independence so that they
can sell bonds.

Charles Wilson and his friend had pulled a

Not a bit of it,, retorted Wilson

rowers' heads shouting:

other side, or I'll brain your

and that he would not listen to argument
A rough and tumble fight might easily
have resulted in the drowning of all
