SEEKING A COMPROMISE.
The Conservative Republicans of the Sem
ate Have n Conference.

Washington. April IA number of
republican senators including Messrs.
Allison. Aldrich, Hanna and Spooner,
most of whom are classed as conserNa-
tives. held a prolonged conference in
the room of the senate committee on
rules to-day after h adjournment OF
the senete. The purpose of the meet
ing was. IL possible. to devise a plan
whereby the action of the senete on the
Cuban situation would be harmonious.
The senate's desire that whatever posi-
ton is taken by the senate after the
receipt of the presidents message on
Monday shall be as nearly unanimous
as IL IL possible to have IL. and they
devoted themselves to formulating a
resolution on which a general agree
ment can be secured.
They find this to be a difficult task in
view of the fac that the senate divides
up on the question OF independence.
All appear willing To concede the aeces-
sity for Intervention. but there is still
persistent opposition to the recognition
of the present government.
Some a. least Of those who take this
position have manifested to-day a will
ingness to yield one point of expressing
the opinion that the people of CUBA
should be free. but they have taken a
decided stand against the recognition Cf
the present Cuban government, which
H.. they contend. a decidedly mythical
and unsubstart:aI institution so far IS
the people of the United States are in
formed. Their opposition has settled
upon the section Of the Foraker resolu-
ton. which reads as follows
Resolved. That the government of
the United States hereby recognizes the
republic of Cuba az the true n Lawful
government of that island."
Most of the conservatives express
themselves as willing to. accept as "A
compromise the first of the Foraker
resolutions. which reads: That the
people of the island of Cuba are and
of "A right ought TO be free ana inSe-
pendent
They claim in addition to other argu-
ments. nat to recognize the existing
government would be to establish "A bad
precedent. and that II is far preferable
TO declare for the right of freedom and
leave To the president the duty of rec
ognizing whatsoever government he
al see proper after the ~Spaniard shall
be driven from the island.
The senators who were in conference
to-day considered the proposition to-
gether with other suggestions calcu.
lated to secure harmonious action on
lines such as they consider wise. They
desire above all things hat there
should be no friction in the open senate
before the world. and they will prob.
ably seek to have the form of the reso'
luton determined In secret session
which will have some Of the binding
effect OF a party caucus. Advocates %

oppose the change proposed in th'
Foraker resolution and also will antag
onize the plan to decide the question
behind closed doors. They claim the,
have a majority Of at least II for rec
ignition of the present Cuban govern
ment.

range and went considerably outside OF

of presenting the views of their several
governments. The British ambassador,

was the next to leave. The German
ambassador and his secretary then had
a private conference with Judge Day.

Senator Gray of Delaware. a member

A DECIDED CHANGE.
Naval Men Believe That War Is Only "a
Few Days Distant.

Key West. Fla. April 7.-ConditiOns
here have undergone a decided change
within the last II hours I'm consequence
of the Washington advices as to Consul
General Lees approaching departure
and the firm attitude of the administra-
ton. from the disappointment and
chagrin hat followed yesterdays pacifie
advices from Madrid. The latest news
has aroused the bellicose spirit to "A
greater degree than ever. Naval men
believe that a conflict is a question of
a few days only and the long delay has
merely increased the ardor of the men
who were constantly i'm readiness for a
call to quarters. The enthusiasm is
especially marked on board the flagship
New York.
The most significant development Is
the orders just received from the navy
department on the plan of action. These
provide hat in the event of a blockade
of Havana or Matanzas. the first line
OF battle nearest the shore would be
composed of torpedo boats and tugs.
the second of cruisers. such as the
Marblehead. Detroit. Cincinnati N
Nashville and the gunboat Helena. and
the third of the battleships indian and
Iowa and the flagship New York. In
case of an attack on the American feet
by any small vessels. these will be en-
gagged by the first two lines, the plan
being to afford the greatest protection
to the battleships from the torpedo
boats OF the enemy Should the attack
be by a superior force. such as the Viz
caya or the Almirante Oquendo, the
first two lines would retire. leaving the
attacking vessels To the third line. Here
IL is a foregone conclusion that this
plan will be executed should necessity
arise. yet II comes from the department
more al a suggestion than as an order,
and Captain Sampson has full author
ity to vary the plan or change il at
will. The receipt of the suggestions,
however. is taken as the best indica-
ton of the approach of the long await
ed conflict.
When the cruiser Nashville went on
patrol tonight she was literally
stripped bare, rail. ventilators and
stanchlons were gone and she was In
perfect lighting trim. ready for any
eventuality.
