THE WAR COMMITTEES.
House and Senate Will Shape Their
Reports Much Alike.

Washington, April. 4.-The senate
committee on foreign relations resumed
its sitting today. The committee has
arrived at a definite conclusion as to
the resolutions it will recommend, and
Senator Davis has prepared the report
to accompany the resolutions. This
report viii deal with the situation in
vigorous language, and it is understood
that much will be made in it of the
Maine disaster. The committee has ac-
cepted the finding of the court of in
Quiry, so far as it goes, but has extend
ed the inquiry and drawn conclusions
in advance of those drawn by the
Maine court.
The committee now expects to be
able 70 report on the same day that the
presidents message is received and
the members of the committee still
look for a message that will be in per-
feet accord with their resolutions, and
that will recommend both the recogni-
ton and a declaration favorable to in
telVention.
Chairman Adams informed the house
committee that the president would
soon communicate to congress his
views on the Cuban question, and that
action in advance of his message would
be extremely inadvisable.
There was some discussion as to the
possible form of action the house
should take, but it was found that the
committee had different views on the
subject, some favoring independence,
some independence and intervention,
and some demanding war on account
OF the Maine. The feeling taking the
Maine as special question was consid-
cred. 1t was understood that the pur-
pose of the meeting is to prepare and
report in accordance with the recon-
mendations of the president, if these
recommendations are sufficiently de-
Neloped, and the message sure to come
in tomorrow.

OUR EUROPEAN sHIP-BUYERs.
What They Are Buying and What
They Are Hunting.

New York, April A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
Orders have been cabled to Lieuten-
ant ]. ]. Knapp. commanding the Tor
pedo boat Somers, purchased from Ger
many, to proceed to England and take
command OF the cruiser Diogenes, pur-
chased from the Thames Iron works.
The Diogenes is a cruiser of 1900. tons
displacement and will be used as a
member of the second line of defense.
for which purpose this government is
purchasing a large number of yachts.
and is converting them into torpedo
boats.
The authorities admit that they are
hunting for more vessels. but they
seem to fear that their agents abroad
will not be successful in getting any
large vessels. There is reason to be-
lieve that they have to secure some tor
pedo boats during the present week.
The Chinese torpedo boats under con-
struction at Elbing and Stettin. Ger
many, have been inspected by Lieuten-
ant A. 2. Niblack. the naval attache
of this government in Berlin, but he
has reported that they are not ready
for sea. Lieutenant Sims and Conlman-
der BrOwnsOu are carefully inspecting
torpedo boats under construction in
France and Italy and the department
has reason to believe that their. search
may result successfully. No authority
has been given Commander Brownson
to buy the steam yacht which is under
construction in Italy for the sultan of
Morocco.
