WAaiilXfiTW. Dee. Ml. \|| of the members of tlieSonutc committee on foreign relations except Mtssrs. liruv nnd Daniel were present when the eoimnittee met this morning for the express purpose of continuing the dis cussion of tile policy on the Cuban question to be commended by the oniti luittee. Secretary Olnc\ was present for the purpose of giving advice and placing before the committee informa tion in bis possession bearing ii|«>n the question. The meeting was strictly private. Mr. Olney being the only per son not a member of the committee who attended the conference. It was early understood, however. Hint, the secretary's advice was against preeloi tate action by thc rommittcc. Soon after Mr. Olney bad left the room the committee, without division, agreed to report the Cameron Cuban resolution iin follows, lifter amending its title to read: "A joint resolution acknowledging the independence of tin! republic of Cuba: ft 1,1, KKCOOMTIOX l oll I'I'lt.t. “Resolved, lly the Senate and House of Representatives of the I'lilted States of America, in Congress assem bled, that the Independence of the re public of Cuba lie and the same is hereby acknowledged by the I Tilted States of America. “Section 3. That the I Tilted States will use its friendly offices with the government of Spain to close the war between Spain and Culm. The only division was as to the time the resolution should be reported to the Senate. Mr. Cameron moved Its report Monday and Mr. Sherman sitg 4 ...1 41. ..4 .. ~l.,.„l,l ..,.4 I... put ill until lifter the holidays. When Die question was put to the committoc tin' Cameron motion prrvulied hy n large majority. • Secretory Olney, it is claimed hy the members of the committee who fa vored action on Cuha did not have any new information to present, and they my tin: committee knew as much iihoiit the condition of affair* in Cuba is was known by the state department. Mr. Olney urged tlint no action he taken ut present mid pointed out I hut there whs no real government to recognize. He confined himself iniiin y to u stilt* merit of facts in possession if tin state department regarding the ondition in the island and wlmt tills government hud done. These Included nformation furnished try the Amerlcun •onsills and agents, also information furnished by the Spanish authorities. Mil. OIAI.V I’lll till I Kl> vv s it. Members of the committee are very reticent as to wlmt Secretary Olney *aid or wlmt advice lie gave, hut it is very certain that lie advised against iny action, e ;« chilly such as that con templated, as no doubt was expressed that sueli action would involve war with Spain. One member of the committee said: "Of course Spain will fight. The Span iards do not, know any I letter. Hut there is no danger of other countries getting in our way. No other Euro pean nation wants to tight us, and we would wind up a war with Spain in short order." The opinion was also expressed that President Cleveland would veto the Joint resolution when it should come to him, which is taken to mean that Secretary Oinev toujt emphatic grounds against Action ny congress. A mem ber of the committee said he believed in ease the President should veto the resolution that it would pass over the veto, as he believed there were more than two-thirds of both Senate and House in favor of it. Some point was undoubtedly made that the present administration did not feel like leaving <> it'tiii Imrupv in flu* iiwominir adminin tration, but this point was not made prominent. Senator Cameron's report will deal at length with the question of prece dents in the matter of the recognition of the republic and intervention of whatever nature by the I'idled States, beginning with the tireek revolution and coining down to the present time. Senators who heard the report say it is very thorough iu this respect and goes over the entire ground. ONLY BRYAN MEN WANTED bovernnr-Klert H.eplicns Declare* Him self »• to Ills A|i|tuintmeuti. si.
