The Republicans Will Probably De

Programme.
Washington. ID. c.. April 5.-AmonS
the Republicans of the House there
seemed Il marked conflict of opinion as
to whether, i'll the event the President
recommends intervention only and not
the recognition of the independence OF
Cuba. they will accede to his view of
the question The same conflict exists
among the Republicans of the Foreign
Affairs Committee. The leaders are eX-
tremely anxious that if possible there be
unity of action between the Executive
and Congress and those who are now
strongly insisting that Cuba has won her
independence and should be recognized
may be convinced by the President
message that the United States should
not 90 beyond intervention. The Demo
Gratis have conferred during the day and
seem united upon independence both in
the Foreign Affairs Committee and in
the House and if the resolutions finally
presented to the House are only for in

NOT INDEPENDENCE NOW.
Senators May Stand by Intervention
With Force as Apparently Contem-
plated by the Message.

Washington. ID. c.. April "a de.
bate which occurred in the executive
session Of the Senate late this afternoon
would indicate that 10 matter what was
the character of the resolution to come
from the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tons the resolution would cause a Sc
rious and perhaps a prolonged discus
sion. 1t emphasized the fact that there
are two elements in the Senate-One for
independence with intervention. another
for intervention alone and these two fac
tions will fight vigorously for their
ideas.
The relations of the United States
with Spain was the uppermost topic III
the executive session and constituted
the subject of many conferences among
Senators. The activity was due to the
announcement that the Presidents mes
sage would recommend the adoption OF
Il policy looking TO intervention in Cuba
on the part of the executive branch OF
the government rather than the recogn:-
ton of Independence. and TO an effort TO
make smooth the way for the reception
of such a report. The session was de-
voted To a general discussion of the poll
cy 10 be pursued toward Spain. and de
veloped the fact that much opposition
would he made 10 the acceptance Of Il
policy in line with the Presidents de-
sires.
The fact was made very evident that
if the committee on foreign relations
should bring i'll IA resolution complying
with the Presidents request and stop
ping short of n declaration for indie
pendencc. there would be an effort in the
Senate to amend it so as to accomplish
this end.
"A resolution was offered that the ell
lire Cuban question could he considered
behind closed doors on account of the
probability of utterances which would
afford information to the enemy. This
proposition was debated without reach
ing conclusion. While the Senate was

ment in the Senate was CONSIDERING

was comnosed Of what is known AS the

side of the Senate. Their conference
was held in Senator Aldrich's committee
room. and among these present were
Senators Hanna. Plat. Of Connecticut
