REASONS AGAINST RECOGNITION

Washington, April 5.-After the cabinet
meeting 1t was learned that il was prac-
tIcally settled that in his forthcoming
message the president would not make
any recommendations looking to the i'm
mediate recognition Of Cuban independ-
ence. The Withholding Of this recommen-
dalton was not because Of Indifference TO
the Cuban cause but was based upon the
fact, as the president viewed it, that the
insurgents had not established any gov
eminent of their own, or such govern
ment al least as would warrant the United
States under the well defined principles of
international law in taking such a step.
1t was urged in support OF this view that
by recognizing Cuba as an independent
government the United States might IN
der certain circumstances be placed at a
great disadvantage. In case this govern
ment should not take possession Of the
islands and the insurgents should see fit
60 inflict capital punishment upon mem
bers Of the present autonomisr govern
ment or other persons against whom they
might have special enmity. this govern
ment, having recognized their independ-
ence, would then be powerIess to prevent
any action the Cuban government might
see fit TO take. however repugnant to our
sense Of justice and right. The better
and safer way, it was argued. would be
for the United States TO take control Of
the island if necessary to prevent further
bloodshed and administer its affairs. or
at least supervise its administration, in
the interest OF justice and humanity, I'M
I'll Spain and Cuba themselves. If posi-
bic. had settled the whole question. What
further action should be taken, would
then be dictated by the facts and condi-

SIGSBEE is EXAMINED

SIGSBEE is EXAMINED
Washington, April 5.-The house COM
mittee on foreign affairs met at 1920 this
morning. Captain Sigshee, Admiral Irwin
and several experts in explosives had
been summoned 10 give testimony regard
ing the blowing up of the Maine. Repre-
sentative Quigg of New York, before he
entered the committee room, said that
Spain would be held responsible for the
blowing up Of the Maine. He is in favor
of reporting a resolution instructing the
president to drive Spain from the western
hemisphere.
81 think there should be concerted &C
ton between the executive and the two
houses Of congress-" said he. THE presi-
dent should call both committees to the
White House this afternoon and read the
message TO them. The message should
hold Spain strictly accountable and the
answer of congress should be a resolution
desiring him to drive Spain from the
Western Hemisphere. That resolution
should be reported TO both houses tomor-
row Immediately after the message goes
in and, in my opinion, passed without de-
bate. 1t has developed that the house
committee on foreign affairs made ten
tative proposition 10 the senate commit
tee on foreign relations to meet in joint
session to secure concerted action, but
up TO the present time the senate COM
rnittee has not accepted the invitation"
Captain Sigsbee was the first witness
examined by the committee on foreign af-
fairs. In the course of his examination
he stated it to be his opinion that his
vessel, the Maine, was blown UP by
submarine mine located by the Spanish
authorities AS to whether It was fired
by the Spanish authorities or not, he de-
clined to express an opinion. He told the
committee what he had testified to before
the board Of inquiry about the buoy 10
which the Maine was anchored being the
most unfrequented buoy in the harbor-
The position in which the ship was placed,
he said, was such that he could have fired
upon both forts at the same time.
The committee agreed to meet again TO-
night to prepare the text of the resolu-
tons to be submitted to the house.
The members of the committee from
the information obtained believe war in
evitabIe unless Spain makes a square
backdown After the meeting today an in
timation was thrown out that declara-
ton of war would not be made just yet,
in any event, because Consul General Lee
had cabled that it would require several
days 10 get the Americans off the island.

recognition might lead to awkward com
plications was gaining ground somewhat
Senator Lodge was one OF the Cuban SYM
pathizers on the committee who would
support change, TO comply with a presi-
Dental recommendation. Il think. be
said today. that We ought to present a
solid front in whether we do and I am
quite willing to follow the presidents
leadership in the matter"
Outside of the committee the opinion
among some Of the presidents best
friends in the senate was that he would
make no recommendation at all but that
he would confine himself 70 full presen-
tation Of the situation. giving a review
Of the diplomatic negotiations. together
with a delineaton of the conditions in
Cuba. and then place the matter in the
hands of congress, with the assurance
that he would execute the will of con-
gress. whatever it might be. In that
event there was no doubt that the COM
mittee would report the resolution agreed
upon. II was determined by the COM
mittee. upon all accounts, not TO attempt
TO bring in its report before Thursday.

To Close the War.

London, April 21.-The Vienna corre-
sponden; of the Standard says: 1T is
probably due to a complete under
standing reached between Count Golu-
chowsky. the Austro-Hungarian foreign
minister. and Prince Hohenlohe. the
German chancellor. hat all the inspired
organs OF the Nienna foreign Office. are
propagating the idea hat after the first
serious encounter between Spain and
the United States. the intervention of
the powers will bring the war to a
close. The Intervention would consist
OF a recommendation that Spain hould
give up Cuba after having saved her
honor. Ii is in keeping with this idea
that the foreign Office organs express
extreme impotence at the slowness of
developments. while admitting that
politics."

CUBAN PILOTS.
They will Assist Admiral sampson In
Making n Landing.

They will Assist Admiral In
Making n Landing.
Miami. Fla. April a6.-Captain Chas.
Silva. who since the beginning OF the
cuban war has been employed by the
tunta in pi.oGing filibustering expedi-
tons to the island, has been ordered by
he navy department To report for duty
10 Admiral Sampson. IL IL known that
Admiral Sampson has with him three
other Cuban pilots. who have been en-
gagged in the work OF landing expedi-
lions. They are Juan Santos, Ramon
Hernandez and the latter's brother,
whose first name no one seems to know.
They were all three placed at Admiral
SIMPSONS service by the junta a week
ago.
The employment of Silva suggests an
early landing in Cuba. 1t is a matter
OF common knowledge that Silva took
the Dauntless. Laurada. Three Friends
and other vessels on about 80 filibuster-
ing trips. Il am thoroughly acquainted
with the b coast" said Captain
Silva, and i can pilot a landing party
to effect "A junction with Gomez. There
would be little more risk in il than taxi
ing a f%erryboat from Franklin street
slip to Jersey City. Once across, an
expedition that went would have the
protection of a gunboat or cruiser any
way.
Il do not think that Admiral Samp-
son can do better than capture Matan-
zas and make that port his base of op-
e%rations. Vessels that draw no more
than Is feet can go right into the har-
Dor, and the Iowa can steam to with
in a mile and a half of the forts. 1
have landed filibustering expeditions at
Matanzas. There are Cubans all around
there. and the Spanish are not in a posi-
ton to make very effective resistance.
There are three forts in the ports. but
no one need a any attention to them,
even IL they were not destroyed. l think
a modern ship could sail right by them.
But IL Admiral Sampson does not
wish to destroy Matanzas he can have
my services in landing land forces on
any coast Of the island. for 1 know its
whole coast line. The Cubans them
selves can do almost anything il Uncle
Sam gives them the material. Gomez
wants the honor Of capturing Havana
himself.
II see that a great point has been
made of the fact that Spain has more
than 80 vessels AROUND Havana. There
are only our Of them that could hurt
any one. All the rest are transports,
launches and COWS
