The Independence Of Cuba to be Accomplish
 ed by Intervention.
TO BE SETTLED TOMORROW
RECOGNITION OF CUBA.
The Most Decisive Action in This Gen
 eration Taken by the Senate

Washington, April 16.-The United States senate has spoken. Its voice is for war-war until the saffron flag of Spain shall have been furled in the western hemisphere and furled for ever. Its voice, too, is for the inde- pendence of the infant republic of the Antilles.
 Free Cuba and the independence of the island republic was the shibboleth of the senate during four days de bate which ended tonight. While the verdict returned was decisive, it is just to say that it was not unanimous. Notes of discord-almost foreboding in their tones-were sounded.
 This foreboding was not due in any sense to an anxiety about the result of the impending conflict. It was prompt ed by fear, lest if the action taken by the senate should ultimately be ac- cepted as final, this government might become involved in complications that in future would prove serious.
 At 9:10 o'clock the Davis resolutions, those reported from the committee on include the recognition of the republic of Cuba, were passed by a vote of 51 to 37, as asubstitute for the resolu- tion adopted by the house of repre- sentatives.
 All day long the contest waged with an earnestness, energy, ability and eloquence seldom equa1ed even in the senate of the United States.
 From 10 this morning until the mo- ment of the final vote the intensity of interest did not abate for an instant. Under an agreement limiting the du- ration of speeches, except in specified instances, to fifteen minutes, every senator who so desired had an oppor voting had actually begun-after 2 o'clock tonight.
 The greatest speech of the day was made by Mr. White of California, who had been consistently and conscien- tiously opposed to action of any kind upon the Cuban question. The speech was a master1y oratorica1 effort, and attracted profound attention from every auditor. No less than twenty 1 five senators addressed themselves to the momentous question under con- sideration during the day. It was not until the first vote, that on the amendment of MT. Turpie of Indiana providing for a recognition of the senate was brought face to face with the tremendous choice of its ac- tion. The scene in this chamber oi many historic debates was one of in- comparable solemniiy and impressive ness.
 On the floor was every member elected to the senate save one-Mr WaithaH of Mississippi, who was again detained from his seat by ill- ness Probably the most notable ut debate were made tonight. Mr. Hale of Maine, MT. Wellington of Maryland and MT. Allison of Iowa, MT. AldricE of Rhode Island, MT. Jones of Arkan- sas and MT. Hoar of Massachusetts al deeply impressed by the magnitude and possible awful consequences ol the step about to be taken, addressed 1 the senate with an eloquence and 1 solemnity born only of the most pro- found feeling for the country's welfare | ho ifa the amendment offered by MT. Turpie recognizing the independence of the Cuban republic. It prevailed by g majority of fourteen, the vote being 51 to 37.
