War Resolutions to Go Through
Congress Without Debate.

Washington, April SIT is generally
understood at the capitol that the presi-
dent will recommend armed interven-
ton, but not the independence of Cuba.
The sentiment among the Republican
members OF the house is strongly in
FAVOR OF this Intervention. and the rec
ognition of Cuban independence. and
that the Maine affair be brought in
prominently IN the resolutions.
Some of the extremists want the
whole action of the United States pred
lcated upon the blowing up of the
Maine. There is a general desire among
the house Republicans to prevent a dis

possible, and if absolute unity of action

Action without debate" said Mr.
Tawney of Minnesota, would be the
strongest and most dignifed response
we could make to SPANS refusal to ac-

dependence. This faction was composed
or what is known as the conservative
element on the Republican side of the
senate. The conference was held in
Senator Aldrich's committee. room. and
among those present We're Senators
Hanna, Platt of Connecticut, Spooner.
Hale, Fairbanks and Aldrich Senator
Allison was also there for a brief time.
A general purpose was expressed TO
oppose the adoption of any report that
should recommend a recognition of
Cuban independence. and that it did
not indeed cOnfine itself to the support
OF the presidents recommendation for,
intervention only. This position was
taken because of the generally ex-
pressed conviction among the senators
| present that in case of war with Spain
/ and the triumph of the army of the
! United States. this country should be
! left free to dispose of Cuba as she
might deem proper.
DISSATISFIED WITH JUNTA.
Most of them expressed dissatisfac-
! ton with the present Cuban admins
tration, and the opinion was given that
. the recognition of independence at this
time would bind the United States to
support the present Cuban administra-
| ton and to guaranteeing it's bonds, Civ
ing to the Cuban junta a position of
influence and power which it was not.
in their opinion, entitled to. Hence a
decision was reached to labor with the
committee on foreign relations not to
report a resolution with a double pur-
pose, and the intention was expressed
on the part of some to oppose it's adop-
ton if reported.
PROLONGED CONFERENCE.
In accordance with the action of this |
committee, Senators Allison and Aid 4
-iraa l.,I
with Senators Davis, Frye and Lodge
of the committee on foreign relations.
These members of the foreign commit
tee were able TO assure the other SEN
ators that no effort would be made TO
report the resolution tomorrow, or on
the same day on which the message
should be received, but they could not
give the same assurance as to the char
acter of the resolution. They did not
conceal from their visitors the fact that
the committee already had agreed upon P.
a resolution providing both for indie
pendence and Intervention, and that ii :
might be difficult to change the recon-
mendation. But on this point no one
could speak definitely until the COM
mittee should confer, and the visiting !
senator's were compelled to Withdraw !
without receiving any very satisfactory I
assurances. !
WILL IT RECEDE? !
The prevailing opinion among sena-
tors is that the committee will recede J
