Mr. Clay, Of Georgia, while hoping for
a peaceful solution Of the problem the
country Ia now facing, declared strong
ly la favor Of Independence Of the
Cubans aud pleaded 10 the admlnistra-
ton the loyal support OF the south
which, In the event Of war, would have

Perkins took substantially the same

In his speech, holding that the case

the senate.
Washington. March u.-Rcprcsenta-
tive Marsh Of Illinois. chairman Of the
house committee on the militia, today
introduced Joint resolutions declaring
war between the government Of spain
and It's dependencies and the United
states and her territories. 10 Is as
follows;
That war be and the same il hereby
declared TO exist between the govern
mcnt Of Spain aud her dependencies
and the United states and her terri
tories, and that che President Of the
United states is hereby authorized to
use the whole land and naval force
Of the United states, including the
militia and the naval militia thereof,
10 carry the same into effect
Mr. Marsh said that while prior to
the submission Of the Maine report, he
had not believed II possible that tho
Spanish government had anything 10
do with the Maine disaster. the report
has established eonclusively that the
Maine was blown mp by submarine
mine. and that the mine could not have
been placed there by private parties.
IL could have been placed there, he
said. by no other power than that
which controls the island. lie added
that he believed that government
that could deliberately starvs 100000
men, women and children, is capable
Of just such an act
Representative Hartman, OF Mou-
tana, today introduced n resolution In
the house declaring that the United
States recognizes the independence OF
the republic OF Cuba, and pledges the
full measure Of IT, support for tho
main tenance Of that independence.
In the senate Senator Rawlins intro
duced the only direct resolution for
war, though Senator Fry's resolution
had the same effect, though couched
In more diplomatic language. Mr..
RAwiin, resolution was quite lengthy,
aud set out the facts from the begin
ming OF the war TO the present tine,
concluding as follows
"Rssolved, by the senate and house
Of representatives Of the United States
Of America, In congress assembled,
that the independence Of the republic
Of Cuba be aud the same il hereby rec
ognized, aud that war against tho
kingdom OF Spain be, aud the same Is,
hereby declared, aud that the prcsi'
dent L. hereby authorized aud directed
TO employ the land and naval forces Of
the United States Of America 10 wage
such war 70 success"
Senator Frys resolution differed
from this only In the fact that II au-
thorized the president TO take such
effective steps as would result In the
) speedy termination OF war In Cuba and
the withdrawal OF the military and
naval forces OF spain" without referr-
ing 10 active hostllities.
Resolutions recognizing the indie
pendence OF Cuba were offered by Sem
, ators Allen OF Nebraska and Forake'
Of Ohio. All were referred 10 com
mlttecs Lively times are expected
when they are returned for considers
! ton, and tho belief is quite general
among public men that unless spa'u
makes atonemout within forty-eight
hours, war will be declared.
