FIGHT OR LEAVE.
THE CHALLENGE TO WAR HAS
BEEN SOUNDED.
Spain Must Either Fight or Abandon
Cuba-That is the Declaration of the
Joint Resolutions Passed by Con-
gress-What the Result Will be Re-
mains to be Seen.

Both branches of Congress have
concurrcd in resolution to drive
Spain from the Island Of Cuba.
After one Of the hardest fought con-
tests between the two houses known
III many years, an agreement upon
the momentous question now agitat-
ing the nation was agreed to Tuesday
morning.
The Cuban resolution was passed,
the provisions of which means the
expulsion Of Spanish dominion from
the Island by the armed forces of the
United States.
The Senate passed the resolution by
a vote of AZ to 30, the House bv a
vote Of 80 too
The resolution as fnall y adopted is
the same as reported from the Senate
committee on foreign relations, with
the additional fourth section known
"a the Teller amendment, disclaiming
any intention on the part Of the
United States to acquire Cuba-and
perhaps the strongest and most popu-
lar as it ccrtainly is the most di plo-
matte part Of the entire resolution.
Following is the full text of the
resolution:
WHEREAS. The abhorrent condi-
tions which have existed for more
than three years in the Island of
Cuba, so near our borders. have
shocked the moral sense of the people
Of the United States, have been a
disgrace to Christian civilization

II, 1898, upon which the action of
Congress was invited; therefore, be

"ResOlred, BY the Senate and
House of Representatives of Congress
assembled,
First, That the people Of the
island Of Cuba are, and of right
ought to be, free and independent.
Second, That it is the duty of the
United States to demand, and the
Government of the United States
does hereby demand, that the Gov
eminent Of Spain at once relinquish
its authority and Government in the
island Of Cuba. and Withdraw its
land and naval forces from Cuba, and
Cuban waters.
'Third, That the President of the
United States be, and he is hereby
directed and empowered to use the
entire land and naval forces of the
United States and to call into the
actual service of the United States

to carry these resolutions into effect.
''Fourth, That the United States

intention to exercise sovereignty,

island, except for the pacification
thereof; and assert their determine

"A WAsHINGToN correspondent says:
President Mckinley made the fatal
blunder in his message to Congress
of treating as mere incidental the
cowardly blowing up of the Maine
and the atrocious massacre of her
crew. placing the cause of complaint
upon grounds, which opened a most
serious international question which
may involve us in war with other
foreign powers. SO soon as the facts
OF he blowing up of the Maine were
made known to him. had the Presi-
dent instantly brought the matter
before Congress and taken steps to
avenge the foul and atrocious out
rage by declaring war against Spain,
all the great civilized powers would
have justified him in his action: but
when he cOndoned that diabolical
crime against humanity and civilian
ton. and starts out on a policy sus-
ceptiblc of being interpreted as a
probable war for conquest. he raised
an issue which may involve us in
most serious complications with other
nations.
