Government the Point at Issue.
WASHINGTON. April IA number
of leading Republican senators, in
Guiding Messrs. Allison, A1drich, Han
ma and Spooner, most Of whom are
longed conference In. the room of the
senate committee on rulesc today, after
the adjournment of the senate.
The purpose of he"meeting was, if
possible, to devise a plan whereby the
action Of the senate on the Cuban
situation would be harmonious The
senators desire that whatever position
is taken by the senate after the re-
ceipt Of the presidents message on
Monday shall be as nearly unanimous
as it is possible to have it, and they
are devOting themselves especially to
formulating a resolution upon which
a general agreement can be secured.
This they find to be a difficult task,
in view of the fact that the senate di-
vides on the question of independence.
All appear willing to eoncede the ne
cessity for interference, but there is
still opposition to the recognition of
the present government.
Some at least of those who take this
position have manifested willing
ness to yield the one point of express
should be free, but they have taken a
decided stand against the recognition
Of the present Cuban government.
which is, they contend, decidedly
mythical and unsubstantial institu-
ton, as far as the people of the United
States are informed.
Their opposition has settled upon the
second Of the declarations of the For
aker resolution, which reads as fol-
lows:
Resolved, That the government of the
United States hereby recognizes the repub-
lie of Cuba as the true and lawful govern
ment Of that island. u
Most of the conservatives announce
themselves willing to accept as a COM
promise the first Of the Foraker reso-
lutions. which reads:
That the people Of the island of Cuba are
and Of right ought to be. free and indepen-
dent.
They claim, in addition to other ar
guments. that to recognize the exist
ing government would be to establish
bad precedent, and that it is far pre-
ferable to declare for the right of free
dom and leave to the president the
duty of recognizing whatsoever gov
eminent he shall see proper after the
Spaniards shall be driven from the
island.
The senators who were in conference
today considered this proposition, to-
gether with other suggestions calcu-
lated to secure harmonious action in
lines such as they consider wise. They
desire. above all things. that there
should be no friction in the open SEN
ate before the world, and they will
probably seek to have the form of the
resolution determined in secret session.
which will have some of the binding
effect 0f a ma rty caucUS
The advocates of the recognition of
independence will oppose the change
proposed in the Foraker resolution and
also will antagonize the plan to de-
eide the question behind closed doors.
They claim to have a majority of
at least twelve for recognition of the
present Cuban government

Unusual Occurrence Mt Meeting of

An unusual incident occurred at the meet
ing of the Anti-Saloon League of the Dis
trict last evening. The meeting was in the
league hall, No 623 Louisiana avenue,
and among those who were passed in by
the doorkeeper was a former writer for a
publication of the liquor dealers, who want
ed to subscribe total abstinence pledge
He was informed that the league had no

that did that kind of work. and he was re-
ferred to the Good Templar organization,
represented by members present.

les responded to the roll call and reports
were made by the president. Mr.. Jas. L.

tion John F. Vinal of the committee on

fer the club at Brightwood. The residents
in that neighborhood, it was stated had
been thrown off their guard by the asser-
tions of two members of the excise board
to the effect that license would be
granted.
1t was announced that a program had
been completed for Anti-Saloon League day

Mr.. Frederick c. Ohm of the geological
survey has received letter from his son
VIII, a member of the District regiment
of volunte ers, OF which a brief extract is
given below:
''On the Field Near Santiago, July Is, 1895.
II have just borrowed piece of paper
from a -comrade, so 1 could write to you
and let you know / am still living and am
well. We landed at Siboney last Sunday
about o'clock. and marched about two
miles up the road. where We went into
camp for the night. Monday morning
got up at o'clock, breakfasted on hard
tack and a half cup of black coffee. and
ma rched up a rough road, made by the SOL
diers ahead of US, for about FIVE miles. IL
took us right to the 'front.' in the trenches,
and for three days We had but one hard
tack each.
The first night and the next day It rained
as hard as 1t could, and we didn't have
rubber blanket to get under, but we took
it all right, and never kicked. 1 never felt
like wanting to be at home until then. We
have been on half rations for two days.
but We have our things now, and it can
rain all it wants to.
I'VE won't have any fighting again for
some time. as Santiago has surrendered un-
conditionaily. Our troops are going into
the city to unarm the Spaniards today. 1
have a machete, but have had no chance to
use IL. only 10 make nre TO COOK our
stuff. We live partly on mangoes. We cut
those that are not very ripe and stew them.
and they are good butter. With the
stuff we get from the government, we live
high, only could enjoy a real good dinner
just now. Still that isn't to be thought Of.
We are camped near the list Regiment
OF New York Volunteers. They were in the
battle the 2Sth of June, and have been tell
ing us what they have been going through
since they have been here. The way the
spanish SlarDShOOterS would Sit In the
trees and shoot men is something terrible,
but 1t is all over now in this part of the
island, and 1, for one, am glad. The Span
lards are the worst people in war 1 ever
heard Of They fired right on the wounded
soldiers while on stretchers being taken 10
the hospital. When our batteries open fire
on the town they run up a Red Cross flag
on every building of Importance. We could
count thirteen flags. Our regiment has had
only two people in the hospital since we
arrived Eere. One is sick and the other
shot himself in the foot The rest are all
right"

THE weather has been fine all the way
thus far, as we have struck but three rain
CLOUDS since we started and we are having
a pie leasant run. The sea has been yery
smooth, and hardly ary one is seasck
The only trouble with the boat is that the
water has come through the port holes
several times, and the floor is not drv vet
We have come clear around the eastern
end of Cuba, running frCm about three to
thirty miles off the coast. There has been
very little excitement, and we are now
within six hours run of Santiago. The

boys saw her she first came out to es-

firing has ceased because flag of truce is

has been done by sharpshooters. The
scenery hereabouts. is really beautiful. We
can get nearly all kinds of fruit to eat

other varieties.

all the next day, so 1T was unpleasant
enough. The sun manages to shine a little
each day, so we can dry ourselves. We
have a pretty good shelter built of palms
and grass think there will not be much
more fighting.
THE Spaniards are desertng and COM

forty have given themselves up since yes
