in phraseology. The most important,
and. in fact, the only essential addi-
ton is a paragraph fixing the response
bility upon Spain for the Maine disas-
ter and citing this as a cause for Amer
lean resentment, If not for war.
The committee was in communication
with the president during the day and
was informed that while the president
would make an earnest effort to get his
message to congress on Monday, he
might not be able owing to the great
demands upon his time to get ii in be-
fore Tuesday. There has been some
doubt as 10 what recommendations the
president would make, il any. in his
message. but he gave the member of
the senate who called upon him to-day
to understand that he would recon-
mend both the recognition of indie
pendance and a declaration in favor of
Intervention. This would be in accord
with the committees action.

senate Committee ON Foreign Relations
Holds an Important Meeting.
Washington, April 2.-The senate
committee on foreign relations resumed
it's sitting at IL o'clock to-day for the
purpose of considering the report n
resolutions prepared by its subcommit-
tee, recognizing the independence OF
Cuba. This report was presented by
Davis. chairman of both the full CON-
mittee and the subcommittee, and was
commented upon freely by all present.
IL is understood the resolution agreed
upon by the subcommittee follows in
the main lines of the Foraker resolu-
ton, but there is reason to believe
from what can be learned that there is
a disposition to make direct reference
I'm the resolution To the Maine disaster
as the cause for our resentment. What
ever the ~phraseology of the resolution
itself. the report accompanying IT viii
dwell largely upon the incident.
Some members of the are
disposed to regard as positive the
proof of Spanish duplicity In the Maine
affair. and to resent IL as an act OF
war. and there is good reason for be-
lieving there has been more or less dis
cussion in the committee on the advis-
ability OF a declaration of war on ac-
count of the explosion. not only for
Cuban independence merely. but the
Maine incident will be thoroughly dis
cussed and made a basis of much that
may be said.
The committee feel this Is a safe
course in view Of SPANS recent action
concerning the reconcentrados.
n Frye saw the president on
behalf Of the committee before the
meeting to-day. and gave the members
the benefit of the views Of the chief
executive.
After the committee had been sitting
for a brief time. Davis called a carriage
and made a hurried trip to h white
house for the purpose Of comparing
views with the president on some points
to be made.
The committee also had Admiral lr-
win before them for some time to-day.
examining him as a torpedo exper on
the Maine disaster. and also on the
strength of the Spanish torpedo ioulla,
and the best course for this country to
pursue. SO far as could be learned
there was no division OF opinion ex-
pressed in committee as TO the propriety
OF the course agreed upon.
While the Foraker resolutions are
made the basis and the principal part
OF the measure which would be reported
TO congress, there are some additions
In them and some unimportant changes

Lake Front Case Decided.

Washington. April 2-Secretary Bliss
today decided the celebrated Chicago lax
front case. The decision was prepared
by Judge Nandeventer. assistant attor-
ney general Of the interior department. In
brief. the decision holds that the water
line of Lake Michigan constitutes the
eastern boundary line OF the section: that
by the patent TO Kinzy the and to the
water line was conveyed by the United
States. and that by the conveyance OF
that patent the United States ceased to
be riparian proprietor, and has no right

that the land in question is not public
land. and hat IL cannot be acquired by
the use of scrip or otherwise under the
public land laws.
