Washington, April 19-The con-
summation of the practical decla-
ration of war by the United States
against Spain was reached when
the joint Cuban intervention
resolution was adopted by
Congress early this morning
and afterwards signed by Speaker
Reed and Vice President Hobart.
The resolution as finally agreed
to, does not contain the clause rec
ognizing the present government
of Cuba, but it does declare that
the people of Cuba are and of
right ought to be free and indie
pendent.
The ultimatum of the United
States to Spain that she must va
cate Cuba within stated time has
already been forwarded to Madrid
for presentation by Minister Wood
ford.
1t is a mere formality in any
event, as Spain is not expected to
comply with the terms and every
department of the government is
in readiness to carry out military
and naval plans already formulat-
ed.
The Spanish cortes meets to-
morrow and it is believed that it
cannot be restrained from accept
ing with eagerness the gage of
battle thrown down by the United
States.
The excitement in Washington
is such as few men of the present
generation have seen. Flags are
flying everywhere, even from pri-
vate residences, and crowds are
giving vent to their patriotism in
almost riotous cheering.
The hustle about the depart
ments, especially those of war and
the navy, denotes that no longer
is there any official doubt as to
the immediate outcome.
When this mornings cabinet
meeting adjourned at 1890 the
Cuban resolutions had not reached
the White House. The meeting
was devoted to the consideration
of the action required of the exc
cutive branch of the government
There was also general discus
sion of the condition of the mill
tary and naval forces and of war
finances. A recess was taken un-
til $3.50.
Speaker Reed signed the joint
resolution shortly after the House
convened and sent it to the Sem
ate. At 12:l5 it was received by
the Senate and the Vice President
