assailed.
'In this connection" concluded Mr.. Gros-

will be energetically waged, both in mil

carry it on, and believe the response to
the call to arms will be unanimous. There

Spooner, this whole business Is a party
playa Democratic play-and they can't
put me, on this side Of the chamber, in a
hole by any exhibition Of a holier-than-thou
policy on that point
Bacon Of Georgia continued tho discus
sion Of the position of the Democrats, talk
Ing the same position he took last night,
that as the Democrats had voted time and
again in support Of their position, so they
voted to sustain 1t by opposing the confer
snce report which struck out the provision
for the recognition Of Cuban independence.
He contended that as only matters of diff
ference go into conference, the vote of the
senate on the conference committees re-
port was only the Turpie amendment for
the recognition of the Cuban insurgents,
and consequently those who had voted
against the conference had only recorded
themselves in favor of the Turpie amend
ment.

being that in that event the insurgent gov

this proposition many Republicans shout

their dissent.
All this had been in the way of inter-
ruption during Mr.. Cockrells speech. He
resumed at this point his discussion of the
presidents policy. which, he contended,
from the presidents own language, meant
intervention in the shape of hostile con-
straint" upon both parties to the Cuban
war-upon the Cubans as much as upon the
Spaniards. He contended that this policy

IN THE HOUSE
Reed Signs the Resolutions and Ad-
iourument Follows

WASHINGTON. April 10. - The house
presented most desolate appearance when
it convened at noon, after the weary all
night session. While the journal was be-
ing read Mr.. Hagar (Rep.) of Iowa, chair
man of the committee on enrolled bills,
brought in the Cuban resolutions, which
had been enrolled under his personal direc-
ton. The speaker Immediately signed them.
and as soon as the reading of the journal
was completed, at 1915 p. M, he announced
his signature. There was no demonstra-
the resolutions and hurried them across to
the senate chamber.
Mr.. Grosvenor then, as a matter of per-
sonal privilege, had read at the clerks desk
an editorial in New York papercomment-
ing on his statement in the house on April
7th, that war would be fought under the
banner of the Republican government of
this administration, or 1t would not be
fought at ALL Mr.. Grosvenor explained
the circumstances under which the state.
ment was made. He had been delighted
with the record the Democratic party had
made, and in the statement he only meant
that as the present administration had
three years to run, that the war which
was on us must be fought during its life

says the London correspondent Of the
World.
The World correspondent has the most
trustworthy authority for stating that the
pro-Spanish tendency of the Russian Off
cial press will be modified and that within
q few days those journals may be expected
to take a more enlightened view of Amer
lca's action. This change will be the result
of an official Intervention Of influential
sympathizers, who, within the past few
days, have been in position to convince
