Washington, April 12-The senate
committee on foreign relations is find
ing it a very difficult task to reach an
agreement on the terms of the resolu-
ton it will report. There is by no means
the same unaninity that there was
when the committee first met and de-
cided to report the Foraker resolution.
Many propositions have been made, COW
ering all the lines of possible interven-
ton, but the indications at the begin
ming of today's session were that there
would be return to the compromise
proposition which was made prior to the
receipt of the message. Indeed, a suf-
f1cient number of pledges had then been
secured to render the adoption of this
course quite certain.
All the Republican members of the
committee, with the exception of Sena-
tor Foraker, are understood to be will
ing to report on these lines, and it now
believed that for the sake of party har-
mony, he may be induced to join his
colleagues. This compromise involves
the elimination of the second of his dec
larationS recognizing the republic of
Cuba as the true and lawful govern
ment of that island" and the retention
of the first premise, declaring that the
people of the island of Cuba of right
ought to be free and independent.
The Ohio senator has, up to the pres
ent time, held out strenuouSly for both
declarations, but the other Republican
members, at their meeting yesterday,
argued the necessity of the concession
in order to insure harmony in the party
and to secure a form of resolution which
would meet the approval of the senate
and be sure to pass.
Senator Gray is the only Democratic
senator who now appears willing to
join with the Republicans in eliminating
the recognition of the Cuban republic,
but his vote, added to the votes of the
five Republicans, would be sufficient to
secure the adoption of the resolution
and it's report by the committee. 1t is,
however, not certain that the five Re
publican votes could be secured unless
all the Republican votes could be con-
trolled, for the reason that some of the
other members of this part of the COM
nittee are inclined to make unanimous
action by their party in the committee
a condition of their cooperation.
For the rest, if this compromise is
accepted, the resolution will be a short
and sharp declaration for immediate in
terVention. In case the majority agree
upon the compromise here outlined,
there in all proba bility will be a minor
ity report providing for the recognition
of the present Cuban government,
which will be made by the Democratic
members with the probable exception of
Senator Gray.
division, but it now seems the most pro-
bab1e result of the committee dehbera-
tionS.
Washington, April 12-Mr. Smith of
the committee on foreign relations of
the house was at the White House un-
til shortly after IL o'clock today and did
not appear at the committee room un-
til II 40 o'clock. The Democrats re-
turned at HAS, but the Republicans
were not yet ready to receive them. The
Democrats had practically agreed to
support a resolution declaring for indie
pendence and immediate and armed in
terVentiOn.

was driven at once up the avenue, a
hundred or more bicyclists accompany

General Lee was driven at once to the
state department, presumably to report
his arrival and receive any instructions
il might have.
Word had gone through the depart
ment that he was due to arrive and the
corridors in front of the secretary's door
were jammed with people. AS Gen. Lee
stepped from the elevator in front of
the secretary's door, the crowd gave
three .rousing cheers, which rang all
through the building. Gen. Lee bowed
his recognition to the crowd and was
Immediately ushered into the secreta-
rvs room.
Gen. Lee remained in the building
only a few minutes quickly departing,
accompanied by Secretary Sherman and

Gen. Lees appearance before the for
eign relations committee.
The ovation was repeated as Lee
went over from the state department to
the White House. A mounted bicycle
boy had preceded the carriage carrying
large Cuban flag and this served to
stimulate the enthusiasm displayed
along the drive to the White House por
tico.
At the railroad station when General
Lee arrived, the crowd was immense
and exceedingly enthusiastic.
