PRESIDENT Mckinley

PRESIDENT Mckinley has
at last submitted a message
to congress touching on the
Cuban affair. He does not
recommend recognizing Gu
ba's independence but asks
congress for additional pow
er. AS a result congress is
having a little war of its own.

REPUBLICANS, as a rule, have
taken usual precaution not
TO criticise President McKin-
ley's Spanish-American poll
cy. They invariably praise
him without knowing why
they do so. We are opposed
to war and believe it is the
humane side to take, but at
the same time the Presidents
catering to the wishes of the
money power is deplorable.

WASHINGTON, Match so.-The senate
committee on foreign relations failed 10
reach an agreement at the meeting today
on any of the Cuban resolutions before IT.
but referred the whole matter 10 sub
committee, and then adjourned.
Members of the foreign relations COM
mittee who saw the president today assur-
ed other members that the Cuban situation
would come 10 a head in very few days.
and that congress would be informed. The
utmost limit placed upon the time in which
the matter will be settled one way or am
other was stated as one week. while some
though. it might be within forty-eight
hours
The committee considered it unwise. in
view OF the negotiations now on, to pre-
eipitate matters at this time. II was de-
ciied that congress need not take action
TO hurry the administration, In view or
what had been learned by the members.
The only distinctive feature OF the meeting
was the general disposition manifested 10
wait for reasonable time upon the presi-
dent
The meeting was largely devoted TO con-
sideration Of the testimony taken by the
naval court of inquiry. Willis the dispose
ton of congress Is to oblige the president.
1t has been made evident that large ma
jorlty of the committee would favor vigor-
GUS action as soon as IT Ia evident that
diplomatic resources have been exhausted.
The White House was hesleged with cali
ers today. including Senators Hanna, Da-
Wis, Frye, CulIom and Gray, members OF
the foreign relations committee: Burrows.
Hawiey. Spooner, Wolcott and Allison.
Nearly the entire Michigan deleg alton also
called. the purpose being to urge the presi-
dent 10 take immediate and vigorous ac-
ton 10 end the war and secure the inde-
pendence OF Cuba. Other senator's who saw
the president were Foraker. Sewell. AID
rich and Wilson. Secretaries Gage. Long
and Bliss also saw the president.
