The Many Recesses-Sterling Speeches of
 the Members.
 Washington, April 1S.-It was nearly 3 o'clock this afternoon when the Cu- ban resolutions reached the senate from the house. At 2:53 p. m. the message clerk of the house appeared at the main entrance of the senate with a package of bills and resolutions in hand. He presented to the senate sev- eral bills and resolutions which had been passed by the house including that relating to the intervention of the United States in the Cuban revolution The last were the resolutions adopted by the senate on Saturday night and agreed to to-day by the house with cer- tain amendments. There was an in- stant commotion in the chambers Scores of the members of the house were on the floor waiting the action of the senate and although nearly every senator at the capitol was present, Mr.
 Chandler of New Hampshire noted the call of the senate. The roll call indi- cated the presence of seventy-five sen- ators.
 Senator Davis Asks Concurrence.
 MT. Davis chairman of the foreign relations committee, requested that the message from the house concerning the Cuban resolutions be laid before the senate. After the reading of the mes- sage MT. Davis addressed the senate. The stiffness as he began to speak was profound. He spoke clearly but rapid ly. 'In my great anxiety to secure said, faction which think ought to be taken immediately, l have refrained from taking part in the discussion up to this time. The resolutions as they came to us from the house are with the
 exceptions which I shall note, practi- cally the same as those which were reported to the senate by the foreign relations committee" The exceptions noted by MT. Davis were the striking out of the words land are'' and the clause in the senate resolutions provid- ing for the recognition of the republic of Cuba.
 MT. Davis said that the whole sub- ject had been thoroughly debated. Meantime, while the debate was pro- ceeding the destruction of the Maine 1,a
 the reconcentrados in Cuba had died,
 and differences and dissensions had
 arisen here as to the method of action which should be adopted. He said that we had now arrived at a point
 whereby thoughtful, temperate and | reasonable action of the entire matter l could be settled within twenty min- utes. He maintained further that no man could or would have the right to doubt that the passage of the resolu- tions as sent to the senate would bring about the freedom of Cuba as well as | the independence of it's inhabitants which so many desired. In order that the senate might settle the question and settle it now, he moved that the senate concur in the house resolutions. Cries of "vote, Vote"
 The motion had scarcely been enter 1 ed when MT. Stewart addressed the 1 senate. Tt is true,' said he, "that this question can be settled immedi- ately, but it is necessary that it should be settled rightly and it cannot be SC i settled until the freedam and indepen- dence of the Cuban republic are rec. i ognized." MT. Stewart yielded to MT 1 Teller, who said that there was very 1 general desire for a vote upon the mes 1 sage from the house, and appealed tc l the senate to forego further debate ir | order that a vote might be taken
