REPUBLICAN MEMBERS IN REVOLT
AGAINST ADMINISTRATION POLICY.

gress in the resolution passed April
20, 1898, denying that the United
States has any disposition to exercise
sovereignty or jurisdiction over Cuba,
is being used as point which pre-
vents congress from passing on the
Cuban subject.
The desire to impose conditions
upon Cuba comes mainly from the
executive mansion, Secretary Root
and number of republican senator's
in accord with the administration
program. They make clear that they
want the Cubans to grant the follow
ing four concessions:
1. Allowing the United States to
maintain naval stations in Cuban
ports.
2. Granting military reservation
and occupation by the United States
troops until a satisfactory home gov
ernment is established.
8. Depriving Cuba of the power to
contract debts without the approval
of this government.
f. That the United States shall be
q coordinate party in the making of
treaties with foreign powers.
While the justice of some of these
provisions may be admitted, the re-
publican revolt against this program
receives its incentive from the fact
that the United States stands pledged
to give Cuba absolute freedom.
Advices from Havana leave no
doubt that the idea of protectorate
is bitterly resented; that the Cubans
arc still demanding Cuba libre. " and
viii fight again for their indcpcnd-
encc, If necessary.

Washington, Feb. 2.-Once more
the republican mem bers of congress
are in revolt against the avowed ad-
ministration policy toward Cuba and
the Philippines. The breach in the
republican ranks revealed by Porto
Rican. tariff legislation last session
has widened and any effort to pass
Philippine legislation of the same
character will excite once more a mu-
tiny in the repu ublican camp. 1t is
fully developed that the Spooner bill,
empowering the president to make
his civil government policy effective
in the Philippines. is opposed by some
of the most influential republican
members of the house. These men,
bers are unwilling to assume that con-
gress can legislate without limitation
under the constitution aud refuse the
insular possessions privileges similar
to those accorded to United States ter
ritories. The Spooner bill, which
gives the president carte blanche to
establish civil government in accord
ance with the prescribed action of
congress in Porto Rico, is regarded by
these republicans as too far-reaching
and as unconstitutional.
In both the senate and house re-
publicans refuse to bend themselves
to the proposed Cuban policy of the
administration. A number of leading
senator's have announced their inten-
ton of calling upon the president to
explain that congress has no right 20
pass upon the Cuban constitution
when that document is presented.
