| The declaration of war against Spain
practically made last week as announced
| by us has been overhauled by our States
men at Washington and some changes
made in the form of the resolutions.
There was a heated discussion lasting
over Sunday and Monday, and only ended

The first paragraph will be as it passed
the Senate. The report was adopted by
the Senate at 1:14 a. m.
The President retired before midnight
and White House was deserted except for
the executive clerk, Mr.. Montgomery,
who received the bulletin announcing the
Senate's action over the wire from the
capitol. The message was turned over to
the domestic end of the mansion and with
out waiting for the action of the House
the executive office was closed for the
night.
The resolutions as agreed on by the
conferees of both houses are as follows:
"Resolved-By the Senate and House
of Representative of the United States of
Ar erica in Congress assembled.
'First-Tl. the people OF the Island
of Cuba, are, al OF tight ought to be free
and independent.
"second-That it is the duty OF the
United States to demand, and the govern
ment of the United States does hereby
demand, that the government ofSpain at
once relinquish its authority and govern
ment in the Island OF Cuba and withdraw
land and naval forces from Cuba and
Cuban waters.
"Third-That the President of the
United States be and he hereby is directed
and empowered to use the entire land and
naval forces of the United States, and to
call into the actual service of the United
States the militia of the several states, to
such extent as may be necessary, to carry
these resolutions into effect.
"Fourth-That the United States here
by disclaims any disposition or intention
to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or
control over said island, except for the
pacification thereof, and asserts it's deter
mination, when that is accomplished to
leave the government and control of the
island to It's people.

ed by Congress at an early hour this

and an answer within short time, pro.
badly twenty four hours. Compliance is
not expected, and forward movement on
Cuba will commence the latter part Of
this week, according to the plans yof the
administration.
The Congressional Cuban resolution
will be signed to-day. The ultimatum to
Spain will be signed at the same time.
The President early decided to make the
two practically one act by simultaneous
signature OF each.

COL. ROOSEVELT'S STATEMENT.
Derfdes the Idea That He Has Lost
His Cfti1enshiD.

NEW YORK, September 24,-Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt talked more at detail today
about the claim put forward by the adher-
ents of Gov. Black that he RoosevelD is
not eligible for the governorship by reason
of an affidavit filed with the commissioners
of taxes.
you may be sure the colonel said to a
World reporter, that this talk Of my being
disqualified is all rubbish. That paper does
not affect my standing as a citizen in the
least. 1 signed that paper only to avoid
paying double taxes. in Washington and
New York, on my personal property. When
I found / was assessed in both places,
wrote to my lawyer, Mr.. Root, asking him
what 1 should do. l told him / would not
lose my citizenship in New York for any
thing and in my letters I repeatedly said
that l would not consent to do anything
that would affect my domicile.
II shall ask Mr.. Root to make the letters
public They were not written for publ
cation. and are in a decidedly colloqutal
style, but 1 would rather have them made
public than be misunderstood in this mat
ter.
well, my lawyers fully understood my
wish in this and they assured me that
signing this paper would in no way af-
tell me the same thing now. They said at
the time that the Constitution provides
that no one shall lose his citizenship in
any state because he is in Washington at
tending his duties as public official.
'It IL all poppycock for any one to say
that I have lost my citizenship in New
York"
