CROSVENOR AGAIN DEFENDS
Administrations Cuban Policy
Attacked in the House.
MOST SIGNIFICANT STATEMENT
Independence of Cuba the Correct In.
depreciation of the Message
of the President.

WASHINGTON. April IA. - General
Grosvenor of Ohio, now generally re.
garded as the spokesman of the presi-
dent on the floor of the house, in reply
to an attack on the policy Of the admin.
istration, interpreted the recommends.
tions in the presidents message to
mean request for authority to use the
army and navy Of the United States to
establish on the island of Cuba gov.
ernment independent Of Spain. 1t
was regarded as an exceedingly ,impor.
tant and significant announcements.
Mr.. Lentz, an Ohio Democrat, who
drew the fire of General Grosvenor last
Thursday. returned to the assault
again, attacking what he termed the
''vacilating" policy Of the president
and asserting that his recommenda.
tions really meant that the United
States should
Coerce the Cuban Insurgents
into acceptance of Spain's scheme of
autonomy. Mr.. Hepburn (Rep., Ia
made q spirited and indignant reply,
u
policy as little short Of scoundrelism.
Then came General Grosvenor's impor.
tant announcement, upon which Mr..
Bailey, the Democratic leader, coun.
tered, taking the position that if the
president had meant to declare for the
independence of Cuba he would have
said so in specific words. The message
was clear and lucid, he said, except as
to the recommendations, and it had re.
quired all the ingenuity of General
Grosvenor to torture such an interpre.
tation from them. In conclusion he
declared that the president who would
coerce the Cuban patriots would not
live to survive the odium Of the Amer.
ican people.

OvAlIONS EVERYWHERE.

Cheer for General Lee.

Even Clerks Of the State Department.
Cheer for General Lee.
WASHINGTON, April 14.-Consul Gen.
eral Fitzhugh Lee arrived here from
Havana at 2:3O o'clock. A large crowd
of enthusiastic admirers had gathered
at the Pennsylvania station and when
the general stepped from the train he
was greeted with a tremendous out
burst of applause. Women waved
their handkerchiefs and men their
hats, and altogether the demonstration
was notable one. Washington crowds
as q rule are not demonstrative, but
this occasion was a conspicuous excep.
tion.
News that General Lee was on his
way to the state department spread
rapidly and when the carriage drew up
at the south front of the building big
crowd was assembled on the portico. A
rousing cheer went up rs General Lee
stepped from the vehicle and, bowing
right and left, hurried into the building.
At the entrance to Secretary Sher-
mans office were gathered many of the
employees Of the big building and as the
general passed in he was given three
rousing cheers-an unprecedented oc.
currence.
After few minutes the consul gen.
eral emerged, accompanied by Secre.
tary Sherman and Assistant Secretary
Day. The three entered carriage and
were quickly driven to the White
House, General Lee getting another
ovation on his way over.

LONG AND BITTER FIGHT.
Foreign Committees OF Both House Dis
cuss q Plan of Action.

Eoreign Committees OF Both House Dis
cuss q Plan of Action.
WASHINGTON. April lathe storm
center Of the Spanish crisis during the
lay was at the Capitol. with the for.
eign affairs committees Of the two
houses as the foci. The struggle in
each committee was long and bitter
and pressure from every quarter was
brought to bear. Radicals and con.
servatives strained every nerve. The
vital point of the contest hinged upon
whether the resolutions should go
i further than the president had gone
sand declare for the independence of
Cuba from Spanish domination. A
compromise proposition seems certain
to be reported at both ends OF the Capi.
tol. The senate committees resolution
will be the more radical of the two It
will declare for immediate interven.
tion, general recognition of the rights
Of the Cuban people to freedom and
independence and will demand the
withdrawal of the Spanish forces from
the island.
FThe Republicans Of the house com.
mittee practically united upon q resolu.
ton which also
f Directs Immediate intervention,
inthat respect going beyond the presi.
dents recommendation, and for the
establishment of ''firm and stable"
government in Cuba. Mr.. Smith of
Michigan stood ont stubbornly for a
recognition of independence, but the
committee did not yield. When the
resolutions were submitted to the Re-
publican steering committee they ill
sisted that unless the words ''and indie.
pendent" before government" were
inserted SO as to read firm, stable and
independents government, they would
decline to accept it. Finally assurances
that this would be conceded were
given, and if these words go in plain
sailing and harmonious action seems
probable. The Democrats Of the COM
smittee have agreed to antagonize the
majority resolution with one declaring
8for independence and immediate armed
Sintervention. The ultimate independ.
Sence of the island, without the recogni-
zion Of the independence of the existing
government, is the step which both
committees are to take bey ond the
presidents recommendations.
