will be the receipt OF tho presidents

unless some further communication
may be received from tie president on
the Cuban question.
There has been general appeal
from the administration 10 the senate
10 avoid undue agitation Of tho Cuban

opportunity 10 formulate a policy. and

be during the week OF the Cuban sltn-
alton will depend so largely upon fu-
ture developments that Il Is useless "a
discuss the probability, II the president
should make recommendation or the
committee on foreign relations report,
the senate at once would become the
center OF an animated discussion, the
result OF which would be some radical
declaration against Spain. The prob
lem now Is to hold the expression Of

There Is very little heart in the senate
