to Intervene In Cuba.

TO intervene In Cub2.
Washington, March 29.-Cuban reso-
{ lutions were offered in the senate i'm
mediately after converting today by
( Senators Allen. Rawlins. Foraker and
Frye.
/ Following is a copy of Senator Aliens
resolutions:
! Whereas. The war now and for some
I time past being Waged between the
Kingdom of Spain and the Cuban in
surgents, has fully demonstrated the
I total inability of the former to subdue
the insurgents; and
! Whereas, Said war has become one
of determination by starvation. and the
dictates of Christian civilization and
common humanity alike demand the
speedy cessation of hostilities, and the
immediate termination of the deliber-
ately planned starvation now going on
in the island of Cuba; and
Whereas. under existing circum-
stances, it is the bounden duty of the
United States to intervene; and
Whereas, The assertion of the Mon
roe doctrine forbidding the interference
of foreign powers in the affairs of any
state or nation on the western hemis-
phere. creates an obligation on the part
of the United States to grant the people
thereof relief against unusual cruelties
and barbarities and determination by
any Sucn foreign power; ana
whereas. The Cubans have, in the
opinion of the American people and of
congress, by their valor and sacrifices
during the four years of war. won their
independence from Spain, and are en-
titled to political recognition by the
United States; and
Whereas, 1t is apparent that Spain
can no longer govern or control the
people of Cuba; therefore,
Resolved, By the senate and house of
representatives, that the republic of
Cuba, now and for some time MAIN
tanned by force of arms, is hereby rec
ogriZed by the United States of Amer

mediately intervene and put an end to
the war now being waged in the island
of Cuba, and shall succor and release
from imprisonment the people there
concentrated for the purpose of starva-
ton and determination. And be it fur

Resolved, That for the purpose of en-
aiding the president of the United
States to provide the concentrated nom

INDIAN CURRENCY.
Commission Appointed On Proposals
For Gold Standard.


For Gold Standard.
London, March 29.-The house of COM
mons was occupied for some time to-
day in a debate on the Indian currency.
Lord George Hamilton. secretary of
state for India, admitted that il would
be impossible to reopen the minis
without some international arrange
ment, which at present seems quite
out of the question. He pointed out
that nobody had blamed the govern
ment for declining American and
French invitation to reopen the minis.
As matters now stood. he believed an
international bimetallic agree menJ i'm
possible. because France could not ac-
cept a less ratio than 15i2 TO l. which
could not he secured. To this view. il
seemed impossible that any nation by
its own unaided efforts could rehabili-
tate silver. America had made great
effort. but had not succeeded. He con-
tended that the policy introduced in
India in 1898 had fully justified itself
and to attempt TO reverse il would now
be lunacy.
Sir William Vernon HarcouTt. Lib
eral leader in the house, congratulated
Lord George Hamilton upon his mon

hoped would carry conviction 20 the

What TRANSFERRED At Their Confer
ence Yesterday.

Madrid, March 29.-General Wood
ford's conference with the Spanish
ministers this afternoon was of an
hours duration, and the ministers con-
tinued in elaboration after the United
States minister withdrew.
In the course of an interview after
the conference, Senior Sagasta said to
the correspondent of the Associated
Press that United States Minister
Woodford, at the conference, asserted
that he desired on that occasion to eX-
press the desiressof his government on
the subject of the situation in Cuba
and the reconcentradcS. Senior Sagasta
added that the conference decided
some of these points, and that he had
promised to study General Woodford's
propositions and to submit them TO the
queen regent, and then to cabinet
council, considering them from every
point of view, in order that the cabinet
might take a resolution thereon.
Senior Sagasta authorized the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press to
deny any other version of the confer
ence as untrue.
New York. March pa dispatch to
the Herald from Madrid says:
THE sequence of events during the
past few days here has been nothing
short of miraculous. At the present
moment, when all seemed lost and war
only short of declaration, the exact OPP
posite Of what everyone expected would
be the case turned up. 1t is as if a
miracle had occurred. unless thr i'm
preston given by a highly experienced
parsonage is wrong. He said: Know
ing more. regret to say that l am in
the unfortunate position OF not being
able TO convey TO you. but you may
print in the largest type, double-spaced,
with the feeling that il is fully worth
ii, the following somewhat stiff state
ment, and read between the lines: The
most important of events is forthcom-
ing, one which Will calm the desperate
situation, avert war. settle all inter-
national differences and end the fight
ing in Cuba
Although the American minister,
General Woodford, sturdily refuses to
be interviewed, he has stated to
prominent gentleman in Madrid that he
was entirely confident that an early
and effective peace would soon be as
sured between Spain and the United
States, a peace which would be consist
ent with the honor of the Spanish peo-
pie and that would secure justice to
Cubans and effective protection to the
great American interests in that is
land"
