caliy have acquired the island by con-
quest and then conferred it as a gift
upon the Cubans
In this view Of the case the United
States might be held liable for the
bonds.
The sentiment of the committee is
against the United States assuming any
such possible liability.
Others, like Mr. Hopkins QlI), did not
think Mr.. Tawney's contention tenable.
He argued that the bonds were issued
by Spain and the revenues of Cuba
pledged as security. If Spain loses
Cuba as a result of war the security
OF the bondholders is simply gone,
SPANS liability remaining. But the
committee lacked light on the subject.
The international authorities will he
looked up by members of the commit
tee tonight and an attempt will be
made to ascertain exactly in what way
the bonds are lien on the Cuban
revenues.
Tomorrow the committee will meet
again and Senator Davis (Minn), who
is considered one of the authorities on
international laws in this country, will
be asked to appear before them.
Tonight the conservative senators
who are opposed to any recognition of
the present Cuban government claim
that a majority of the committee on
foreign relations will now support this
supposition, contentng themselves
with a general declaration for the free
dom and independence of the island,
coupled with a proposition for inter-
yention in the present war between
Spain and Cuba. They count upon get
ting the votes of six of the eleven men,
bers Of the committee and say this
number may be increased.

said, all was comparatively peaceful,
industry was going on, war taxes were
being collected, and all the functions
OF government were being discharged
Most significant action was taken
when the hearing concluded. Mr. New
lands moved an adjournment until
Monday at IL o'clock, which was car
ried.
The committee has no regular day Of
meeting now. and is subject to the
call of the chairman. In order to be in
a position to act. the friends of indie
pendence and action took the precau-
ton of adjourning until Monday, so
that. If necessary, they could act on
that day, if the message was not to
come in, and not depend upon a call
from the chairman. This is regarded as
extremely significant, as showing the
temper Of the committee against any
further delay ~ . f~:=.<, SIS
Informal Discussion.
The senate committee came together
informally and discussed the Cuban
situation. While there is the appear
ance Of calmness everywhere at the
capitol. yet the gravity of the situa-
ton is realized. No one seems to doubt
that war is inevitable. Discussion now
is largely directed towards the method
of procedure.
1t is recognized that there is a sharp
line of difference between the two ele-
merits in the senate, one of which con-
tends for declaration for the indie
pendence of the Cubans, sustained by
armed Intervention, and the other for
supporting the position of the president
for Intervention alone
There is a determined effort to har-
monte these elements, and some head
way is being made ON the lines of an
assertion in general terms of the right
of Cubans to their independence, with
out recognizing the present govern
ment. The movers in this direction
have received some encoura cement
and claim to have promise of votes for
this compromise, which they could not
get for Intervention alone.
Meantime, the committee on foreign
relations is going forward taking testi-
mony to strengthen it's report in favor
of it's position, favorable to interven-
ton and the recognition of the present
government of Cuba, and apparently
with no intention of changing the form
of its report or it's resolution.
The committees report as now pre-
pared will deal with the two questions
of the Maine disaster and the condition
of the island of Cuba, taking the posi-
ton that the Spanish policy of con-
centration Of non-combatants without
supplying them with the necessaries
of life is unprecedented in it's barbar-
ity, and that the system still holds;
and, as to the Maine explosion, that it
was the result OF Spanish treachery,
and as such an act of war.

RADICALS ARE DETERMINED,
Insist There Shall Be No Change in
the Senate Resolution.

WASHINGTON. April S.-Among the
senators seen today who expressed
themselves in opposition to any modi-
fication of the resolution to be report
ed by the committee on foreign rela-
tons, were Messrs. Thurston, Petit
grew, Allen and Mason.
We cannot" said Senator Mason,
''agree to any change that would rob
the present Cuban government of the
victory which they have so nearly
Won"
In my opinion set of men who have
maintained themselves as the Cuban
insurgents have in opposition to the en-
tire Spanish arms deserve our fullest
Endorsement" said Senator Allen, add
ing that he would oppose any effort to
curtail their rights.
Senator Thurston said: eff we should
intervene without recognizing the pres
ent government of Cuba we should
place the United States in a position
OF responsibility to all other powers
and to the citizens of all other coun-
tries for any damage done them in case
of war. Furthermore think we would
in that event be held liable for the pay
ment of interest on the Spanish bonds
which is secured by the Cuban rev
enues. But a greater weight with me
than all these considerations is the con-
viction that If we interfere in the con-
f1ict between Spain and the Cubans
without recognizing a present govern
ment in the island we shall witness
the spectacle of the Cubans being COM
PEELED to make terms with the bond
holders for their recognition after all
the sacrifice they shall have made and
we shall have made for Them
Senator Lodge, Of the committee on
foreign relations, said today that he
thought the committee would not re-
port before Tuesday. He also express
ed the opinion that the senate would
dispose of the resolution at one sitting.

Report or the Resolution Pre-
pared by Mr.. Davis.
2 WASHINGTON, D. c., April s.
While neither house of congress was IN
session today, there was an abundance
! of Cuban talk at the capitol as the
: committees of both the house and SEN
ate, before which the general question
is pending, We're i'll session. The house
committee on foreign affairs held
regular session for the taking of tesri
mOny. while the senate committee on
foreign relations assem- bled informally
to talk over the situation and to con-
slider the possibility of some united &C
ton.
The session of the house committee
was the more important and some very
interesting facts were brought out dur
ing the day. The deputy treasurer of
the Cuban republic was witness and
in addition to furnishing the commit
tee with official details of the sale of
the Cuban bonds, he told, for the first
time, the story Of how the De Lone
letter came into the hands of the junta
The backs of the deputy were in evil
dence and submitted to the committee
for inspection. The Cuban official stat
ed that of the $10000,000 bonds author =
lied, only $4,000 had been actually
disposed Of Some of these were in
payment of provisions sent to Cuba.
For some of the bonds, par had been
obtained. These were taken mainly by
friends Of Cuba.
The lowest price at which any were
sold was twenty-five cents on the dol
lar. a batch of $4,000 were sold for
5000 in a pressing emergency. One
million of the bonds, he said, were lock-
ed up in the safe of the Belmont & Co.,
of New York, to be sold when the price
fixed. forty-fiVe cents On the dollar, had
been obtained. Three millions of the
remainder had been signed, but these
were locked up in the treasurer's
vaults. s,-.

ne told the first authentic story of how
1t was obtained. He explained that it
was distracted by clerk in the post
office at Havana, who was in sympathy
with the Cuban cause, and sent back
TO New York. Its Importance was at
once realized, and it was given out for
publication, the action being justified
because it showed conclusively what
Cubans had always contended, that
Spain was double-dealing.
Mr.. Quesada continued his statement
about the status of the Cuban govern
ment. He went extensively into the
authority exercised over the Eastern
provinces by the government, where, he

Payment of Bonds Is ut Issue.
WASHINGTON, April 8.-The steer
ing committee appointed by the con-
ference of house Republicans last
Wednesday to canvass the situation to
see how many Republicans would stand
by them if the occasion arose for indie
pendent action, and in a general way
decide on a course Of procedure, held
another meeting this afternoon. From
the reports presented it was claimed
that more than 100 Republicans will act
with them.
The main question before the COM
mittee today was as to whether they
should stand for independence and in
tervention or for intervention without
independence. The feeling in the COM
mittee has been strongly in favor of the
recognition of the Cuban republic, but
it's members do not desire to break
with the administration except as
last resort. Meantime some of them
are much exercised over the legal phase
Of Intervention without independence.
A fear was expressed among the MEM
berS that intervention by the United
States might bind the United States for
the S400, 000, 600 of Spanish Cuban bonds
issued against the revenues of the ISL
and.
Mr.. Tawney (Minn.) stated before the
committee that some writer's on inter
national law maintained that in case
of the requirement of territory by con-
quest all the local obligations of that
particular territory are assumed. and
it was argued that if the United States
interviewed with the ultimate intention
of turning over the island to the Gu
bans, the United States would practi-
