NO ACTION EXPECTED MONDAY

WASHINGTON. April e.--The full Sem
ate Committee on Foreign Relations has
practically agreed to accept the recon-
mendation Of the subcommittee for a
resolution recognizing the independence OF
Cuba and recommending armed interven-
tion IL necessary to secure IL.
This conclusion was reached after a
session to-day that did not continue for
more than an hour and SO far as can
be learned there was no division of opin-
ion EXPRESSED in the committee as to the
propriety OF this course. Senators Gray.
Daniel and Turpie we're absent, but thu
opinion is expressed that none or them
will make any opposition To the report-
ing of the resolution.
The fun committee to-day gave most or
its attention To the text OF the report
which will be made to accompany the re-
solution and which has been prepared
by Senator Davis.
TORPEDO EXPERT
The committee also had Admiral Irwin
before thom for some time to-day exam
ining him as a torpedo expert on tho
Maine disaster and also on the strength
OF the Spanish torpedo notilla and as TO
the best course for this country 10 pur-
sue in meeting It.
While the Foraker resolutions are made
tho basis and the principal part OF the
measure which will be reported TO Con-
gress. there are some additions to them
and some unimportant changes In phrase
ology.
Tne most important, and in fact the
only essential addition Is paragraph nx-
ing the responsibility upon Spain for tho
Maine disaster and citing this as cause
fovr American resentment IL not for war.
Tho committee was In communication
with the President during the Day. ana
was informed that while the President
would make an earnest effort 10 get his
message TO Congress on Monday he might
not be able on account Of the great de-
mands upon his time TO get IL In before
Tuesday. Jie will al the same time sup
ply copies Of the consular correspondents.
RECOGNITION AND INTERVENTION.
There has been some doubt as 10 what
recommendations the President would
make, if any. in his message. but he
gave the members Of the Senate who call
ed upon him to-day TO understand that
he would recommend both a recognition
of Independence and declaration In fav-
or OF Intervention. This would be In ac>
cord with the committees action.
