The Senate Committee on Foreign Rola-

IteIuest 10 Await tho Answer OF Spain
to Ills Demands About Cubs. X
WASHINGTON, D. c.. March so.-The
senate committee on foreign relations
held two sessions. to- day. and adjourned
n few minutes before five o'clock with
out reaching any agreement.
The committee as result. OF its sess-
ions, agreed to postpone the completion
of the committees work on the Cuban
situation for few days in order to af-
ford time to the President TO continue
his diplomatic negotiations with the
Spanish authorities. This concession
was the result Of q request made direct
to members OF the committee by the
President, and It was granted by the en-
tire committee without any murmur OF
dissent.
PREVIOUS TO THIS ACTION ON
THE PART OF THE COMMITTEE.
THE PRESIDENT HAD BEEN VERY
FRANKLY. INFORMED THAT NEI-
THEIR THE COMMITTEE NOR THE
SENATE WOULD BE DISPOSED TO
ACoUIESCE IN ANY AGREEMENT
FOR AN ARAIIST1CE. 2
The President freely admitted to all
visiting senators that the negotiations
with Spain were rapidly approaching a
crisis, and said that he felt quite conf
dent conclusion would be reached by
Friday night at the latest.
The committee members feel that they
will be free to act when the President in
dicates a failure Of present negotiations
with Spain. They think these negotla-
tions are for the freedom OF Cuba, and
Il they do not, so result they expect to
report very promptly q Joint resolution
looking to that end.
The committee was authorized to sit
during the sessions OF the senate and
will meet again tomorrow.

ployed in mining, their wages and the cost of production.
 MT. Wolcott thinks that the work of the director of the mint should be continued and that he should obtain all possible statistics of the amount of gold and silver refined and minted. But he advises that the geological sur vey be enabled to investigate produc- tion at the mines, thus obtaining a valuable check on the mint
 There will be great difficulties in this process. It frequently occurs that mines are relocated, first by one pa ty and then by another, and thus have several names, and each one of these names finds it's way to the list. Again, many of the organizations have no le- gal existence whatever. This causes joint companies" known by so many names as to be duplicated and tripli- cated in the reports. The greatest source of error is undoubtedly exag- geration, an incentive to which comes from the desire of owners to sell mines or extensions of them, and the hope that the individual statement may be published.
 MT. Wolcott estimates the cost of this work at s20,O0O annually, or s25,- 900, if Alaska be included.
