House Committee on Foreign Affairs
Holds a Long Session.
WASHINGTON, April lathe Repub-
ican members of the house foreign
affairs committee held long session
during the afternoon to map out a
definite Cuban policy, but were totally
unable to reach an agreement. It is
understood that many of the members
whose views heretofore have been pro.
nounced in favor Of independence and
Intervention, in stating their position
at this informal meeting, announced
an almost complete change of position.
These, it is understood, include Repre-
sentative Adams (Pa.), now acting
chairman of the committee, and Rep.
resentative Quigg IN. W. The meet
ing was very stormy and some exciting
discussions occurred. The most pro.
nounced sentiment in the committee in
favor of
Immediate Intervention
and the recognition of independence
from Spanish rule was voiced by Repre-
sentatives Pearson Of North Carolina,
Smith Of Michigan, Heatwole Of Min.
nesota and Gillette of Massachusetts,.
There were numerous resolutions
drafted and offered for the action Of
the committee, as different in character
and workings as there were members
present, but there was no action be.
yond their formulation, submission and
discussion. The nearest success at
agreement was made in the considera-
ton of resolution by MIR. Henry of
Indiana for immediate Intervention
and the establishment of a stable gov.
eminent by the choice of the people of
Cuba, and another by Mr.. Smith Of
Michigan for immediate Intervention,
the expulsion of Spain from the island
and the formation of a government by
the people of Cuba. *".:.
