between the President and Senators Allison
and German, and it is the understanding in
the committee that the President will follow
the suggestion with a request to Congress
that the appropriation be made. He thinks
1t as well that the money with which to
relieve the distress of the Cubans should
come from the national treasury that it
should be collected by private subscription.
No doubt is expressed that the committee
will report favorably on the recommended
ton or that Congress will pass it. In GER
tain quarters it is thought the provision
should be accompanied by declaration ia
voring the recognition of the beligerency
of the Cubans, but the indications are that
this will not be attempted, unless such a
recognition should be recommended by the
President. The senators who have seen the
President within the past day or two have
formed the impression that he has not yet
formed any definite idea as to what general
course he may pursue. They expect him to
take some decisive action at once, but are
in doubt whether it will be in the nature of
the recognition of bellgerency or of indie
pendence or direct Intervention.
No fear is expressed that Spain will re-
fuse to allow this government to officially
furnish aid to the sufferers, and it is point
ed out that if she should she would bring
upon herself the condemnation of the civ
ilized world. 1t is also suggested that there
is little difference between the, present meth
cd Of supplying help through private Amer
lean subscriptions and assistance officially
supplied as is now proposed.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The prevail

Intervene in Cuba on humane grounds, but
it is positively stated by one of them who
is close to the President that the interven-
ton will not come until after the report
of the board of inquiry on the Maine disas-
ter goes to Congress. THE two questions
will be treated separately said he to-day,

will waive the question of the Maine dis

A prominent member of the House. who
has been several times in consultation

KEARSARGE AND KENTUCKY.
Blue Grass State Well Represented at
Newport News Both in Num-
bers and with whisky.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, March 23.-The
great battle ships Kearsarge and Kentucky
tonight rest on the ways ready for the
signal that will send them to their maiden
plunge into the waters of the Hampton
Roads. Every detail for the double launch
ing has been perfected and already the city
is crowded with visitors in anticipation of
the unique event. The Governors of Vir-
ginia and Kentucky and many other per-
sons of prominence are now here.
Governor William o. Bradley and staff,
with about 600 other enthusiastic Kentuck-
ians. arrived at $40 o clock this afternoon
on Chesapeake & Ohio special train. They
were preceded at II o'clock by committee
from Louisville, who came ahead to make
preparations for the reception of the CUB
ernatorial party. Tonight Governor Tyler,
of Virginia, came over from Old Point Com
fort He will be joined tomorrow by the
members of his staff. Miss Christine Brad
ley and Mrs Bradley came in this evening
at O'Clock from Washington. They were
accompanied by Miss Anna Webb, of Pa
ducahs KY, one of Miss Bradleys maids of
honor. Five other young ladies who will
also act in this capacity accompanied the
gubernatorial party from Frankfort.
Mrs Herbert Winslow, Of Boston, who
will christen the Kearsarge, arrived at 10
o'clock this morning with her husband,
Lieutenant Commander Winslow,N of the
United States navy. After the Kearsarge
and Kentucky glide into the water to-mor-
row the Newport News Ship Building and
Dry Dock Company will entertain several
hundred guests at banquet at the Cham
berlain Hotel at Old Point. The Kentuck-
ianS will have another banquet at night.
The contingent from the Bluegrass State
brought with them a goodly supply of ''old
Bourbon" whisky 1t is limited tonight that
they propose to do a little christening on
their own account. When the good ship
named for their State begins to descend
the ways scores of TASKS filled with the
whisky. it is said, will be pelted against
her hull. Buildings throughout the city are
deliberately decorated in honor of the
launching. The Kearsarge will leave the
ways at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning and
the Kentucky will be launched an hour
later
