NEW VOniC , Dec. 4. A special to the
Herald from Washington says : Pro Cuban
sentiment Is strong In both houses ot con
gress , but the disposition of many of tha
senators and representatives to delay action
pending the trial by Spain of the new yollclos
of the Sagasta ministry and the influence of
tlio administration and of the conservative
leaders In both houses will DC- able to prevent
any action. Thr.ee are the conclusions ur-
rlved at as the result of conversations xx-lth
practically all of the senators und repre
sentatives xvhn have arrived In Washington.
The , men talked with tcprenent all parties ana
shades of opinion. Out of twenty-eight sena
tors seen foutteen are against action of any
kind by congress at this time. Six arc in
favor of action , but do not believe It In pos
sible and eight are unreservedly in favor of
Immediate action.
Among the members of the house of leprc-
sentatlves seen the prcgortlon of those In
favor of action Is rather larger than among
the senators. Tills I ? accounted fnr In a
largo mcasuic by the fact that a m-ijoilty ot
those seen are democrats and ( Kpullsts. H
must bo berne In mind , however , that the
house of representatives Is practically ponpr-
less to act In opposition t.i the will of tliu
speaker rod the perty trailers , if they are tit -
ported by a laigo percentage of thu mem-
bensh.V. The speaker und Uh'tlraan Ultt of
the committee ou foreign uftalrsuo cruaaivl
to action. The opposition majority of that
commlUco In in accord xvlth Sir. Hltt. anil thu
speaker , backed up by this committee' , can
hold any Cuban resolutions back liulellnltuly
