tors Foraker, Mills, Daniel and Turpie.
The majority resolutions reported to
the senate were as follows:
Whereas, The abhorrent conditions
which have existed for more than three
years in the island of Cuba, so near our
own borders, have shocked the shoral
sense of the people of'the United States,
have been disgrace to Christian civil
ization, eliminating. as they have, IN

the president of the United States in
his message to congress of April H..
1898, upon which the action OF congress
was invited; therefore,
Resolved, l. That the people OF the
island of Cuba are. and of right ought
to be, free and independent.
"2. That it is the duty of the United
States to demand, and the government
of the United States does hereby de-
mand, that the government OF Spain at
once relinquish its authority and gov
eminent in the island of Cuba and
withdraw it's land and naval forces
from Cuba and Cuban waters.
49, That the president of the United
States be and he hereby is directed and
empowered to use the entire land and
naval forces of the United States, and
to call into actual service of the United
States the militia of the several states,
to such an extent as may be necessary
to carry these resolutions into effect.
The report of the minority of the
committee declared:
Mr. Chandler in closing the debate
announced that when the foreign rela-
tions committee resolution was called
up to-day he would object to the con-
sideration of any other business until
the resolution was disposed Of.
Mr.. Daniel (Va.) offered a resolution
requesting the president to transmit
to the senate all diplomatic correspond
ence between the United States and
Spain respecting affairs in Cuba; and
also requesting him to inform the SEN
ate whether this government has sub
mitted to Spain the proposition of Gu
ban independence. and If so, in what
form such proposition was made and
under what conditions. Without de-
bate the resolution was agreed to.
After passing large number of
private pension bills the senate at $50
