after the presidents message was re-
ferred to the foreign relations commit
tee. Mr.. Stewart took the floor and de-
clared that Intervention without the
recognition Of the insurgents would
look like conquest. AT 1:l5 p. m. the
senate adjourned. The message did not
receive the Endorsement of the ajority
of the senators. In general way the
objections were based on the ground that
1t did not go far enough in recognizing
the rights of the Cubans. The most
significant utterance on the subject was
that OF Senator Foraker. He said: Il
have no patience with the message and
you can say so."

The senate committee on foreign rela-
tiOns is somewhat undecided upon the
exact words Of the resolutions to be re-
ported, and may not come to definite
conclusion before tomorrow. 1t now
looks as if not only the recognition of the
present government of Cuba would be
eliminated, but as if the language of
other portions of the Foraker resolution,
which it was first decided to retain,
would also be abandoned and new
resolution reported. This is intended
as compromise measure, upon which
1t is hoped almost all the senators, ire
spectiyc OF party, can agree.
