gress, the representative body OF the

mittees Is expected, but exactly when
1t may be looked for Is not now deter
mined. The fun responsibility Of the
subject was placed upon congress-
when President NcI-inlcy yesterday
transmitted 10 1t q carefully prepared
and anNiuusly awaited message reiat-
ing to our negotiations with Spain with
regard to the warfare in Cuba. and
drawing thcrcfrom his personal oonciu-
sions and recommendations.
