The chief interest has been concentrated
upon the action that would be taken by the

effect. The senate foreign relations COM
mittee has agreed unon resolutions calling
Tor immediate intervention and demands
n staple and independent government In
CUBA, but without recognizing the present
Cuban government. These resolutions may
be presented tomorrow and maybe not until
Thursday. 1t depends on how nearly they
are perfected and upon the republican
agreements IN the house.
1t is stated tonight that there Is to he
long debate on them, and especially in the
senate, where the rules allow unlimited De

and with patriotic enthusiasm. The vel.

that he presented II with evi

will very likely cause the senate comant

report. and IL the house committee gets
