 Washington, April 1.-The attention of the civilized world is focused on the senate of the United States Upon it's action probably depends the mo- mentous question of war between this country and Spain.
 The action of the house of repre- sentatives yesterday in adopting reso- lutions looking to armed intervention in the Cuban rebellion transferred the center of interest and action from one wing of the great marble capitol to the other. Upon the senate, therefore, as was iterated and reiterated on the floor today, rests the responsibility for delay or action.
 For more than six hours this after noon the senate had the resolution by the committee on foreign affairs under consideration. The speeches delivered upon various phases of the situation, eloquent, spirited and vehement, as all of them were, disclosed no irreconcilable differ ences among those who spoke, and all were in favor of action in some form by the government of the United States. The most radical differences were as to whether the resolutions finally adopted should recognize the in- dependence of the Cuban republic or simply declare for armed intervention with a view to the ultimate freedom and independence of the Cuban people
 THE TALK.
 The speakers today were Mr. Turner of Washington, MT. Hear of Massa- chusetts, MT. Turpie of Indiana, Mr. Gray of Delaware and MT Fairbanks of Indiana They were accorded the most profound attention both by the senators on the floor and by the throngs in the galleries. Among those who listened to a part of the debate were Sir Julian Pauncefote and a considerable number of the diplo- matic corps, Speaker Reed, Justice Harlan of the supreme court and Will liam J. Bryan.
 The speeches were interspersed with sharp and spirited colloquies, some of which caused intense excitement in the galleries. After vainly endeavoring on two occasions to agree to a time for vote upon the resolutions and after voting down a motion to adjourn, the senate finally, amid much confusion, agreed to adjourn until 10 o'clock to- morrow.
 NO TIME TO VOTE.
 The most significant event of the day was an attempt to fix time for a vote and failure to do SO on account of the desire of many senators to de- bate the resolution at considerable length. It is impossible now to say when the vote will be taken, and the utmost friends of the resolution hope for is to secure a vote by the end of the week
 All day long conferences of senators were held looking to a possible agree ment upon the form of resolution to be sent to the president. Great eff torts were made in favor of the house resolution which was known to be satisfactory to the president and which was supported by the conserva- tive senators. It is not believed the house resolutions can pass the senate, and the prospects are that the com mittee resolution will have an amend ment recognizing the republic of Cuba, the friends of recognition claiming a clear majority for it.
 THE HOUSE WILL WIN.
 The conservative senators believe the house proposition will win in confer ence, the impression being that the house will refuse to yield and in or der to prevent further delay the friends of Cuba in the senate will ac- cept the house proposition When the senate adjourned tonight Senator Davis, in charge of the resolution, re- peated his intention to ask the senate to sit continuously after the beginning of the session tomorrow, unless an agreement to fix time for vote can be secured
 T see no other way of bringing the matter to an issue" he said. Anxious as Senator Davis and others of his mind are for a speedy vote, the indica- tions are that there will be consider able delay.
 The vice-president already has re- ceived requests from about twenty senators for recognition to speak, and others are expected to make similar application. All these insist that they
