Strong Probability Of a Disagreement to the
 Independence Resolution Of the Senate. LOOKS LIKE CONFERENCE.

ment General Gomez might at any time negotiate peace with Spain, which would leave us in the lurch.
 When France allied herself with us in the revolutionary war it was for the purpose of gaining our indepen- dence, but we were held to the con- pact by a stipulation that no peace with Great Britain should be nego- tiated without Frances consent More than this, it is claimed that the sen ate will yield the recognition of in dependence if the house stands firm.
 PROBABILITY OF A VETO.
 Notwithstanding the large majority for the resolution, Senator Hear of Massachusetts today urgently coun- seled the house leaders to reject the senate's proposition. He assured them that the senate would not hold out. brought to bear is that the president himself could no approve any resolu- tion which contained such an invasion of his prerogative, and which plainly violates every precedent of interna- tional law.
 This strong intimation of a presi- dential vein would involve an entirely new start, and the delays incident to it, and had a powerful influence, all though in certain quarters it was as serted that a presidential veto would be overridden.
 The suggestion that the president might sign the resolution and send a message to congress saying that the clause recognizing the independence of Cuba was ultra wires, beyond the jurisdiction of congress, was advanced also.
 PROBABLE HOUSE ACTION. The Eyes of the Nation Now on the
 House.
 Washington, April 1.-The whole programme for tomorrow has not been absolutely decided upon. Something will depend upon the situation as it ap- pers when the final reports are made to the speaker in the morning. The speaker, however, will hold that the resolutions as amended do not have to go to committee, but motion to concur or non-concur will be in order. This will bring the whole question immediately before the house.
 It has not yet been decided whether the motion shall be to non-concur with request for a conference, or to concur, with an amendment striking out the recognition of independence and perhaps making other slight amendments in other sections of the senate resolution. In the latter case the position of the house would be definitely outlined and might be more satisfactory to the radical republicans who are suspicious of conferences. But in either event except in the improb- able one that the senate would accept the house amendment without further action, the resolutions would go to con- ference.
 SARCASTIC CRITICISM.
 There has been considerable criti- cism of the wording of the senate amendment today. General Grosvenor said resolutions which are to bear the inspection of the world should at least be grammatical and diplomatic"
 DELAY DESIRED.
 There Is strong intimation that de lay is what is desired by those op- posed to war in the hope of some ac- tion by the Spanish cortes. A hope is expressed that Mr. Hit, chairman of the foreign affairs committee, who has been quite i'll, but who is much bet ter, will be able to be in his place to- morrow. If MT. Hit is not able to be present MT. Adams of Pennsylvania and MT. Quigg of New York will be the republican conferees. Both men are in thorough sympathy with the ad- ministration, and Speaker Reed. Any motion of non-concurrence made to- morrow will of course be antagonize6 by plain motion to concur. This lat ter would take precedence over mo- tion to non-concur, and would have to be voted upon first, but the speaker has already held this session that motion to concur with an amendment takes precedence over motion to non concur.
 It is desirable from strategic poin1 of view that the first vote to be taker
