WASHINGTON , April 20. During the five
hours of discussion In the eenate today ot
Itrt action on the Cuban rrsolutlona , In the
course of which several extended speeches
were made by senators who voted against
the conference report on the resolutions ,
only one point was developed. . TUat was
made by Mr. Foraker lu the course of a
brief statement concerning the recognition
of the Cuitan rc-publlc'fl Independence. He *
said :
"I think quickly , tfpeedlly , pc-isfbly now
en this very day , when the ultimatum has
been , cent to Spain , pursuant to the resolu
tions that passed here , this government has
practically recognized the republic of Cuba ,
and I think uoeulbly It Is true we all will
know by tomorrow that that government Is
today being officially dealt with by the rep-
resentatlveo of this government. "
This utterance , coming from a member of
the foreign relations committee , created a
profound sensation. Being pressed * for the
aourco of his Information , Mr. Foraker re
plied that It was positive , tut not official.
The following resolution was presented by
Mr. Allen ( Neb. ) :
Tiiat In the opinion of the senate no cir
cumstances can arise In t'no relations of
the United States of America and the king
dom of Spain that will warrant 1111 Incre.ise
of the interest-bearing bonded Indebtedness
of this government , or that will In any
manner Interfere with the reform of the
Hnnnclnl affairs of the United States on
lines laid down In the national people's
party platform of July , 1S90.
The resolution went over under objec
tion.
PASS A FEW BILLS.

relief of certain settlers Ificrcon and pro
viding for the- construction of a bridge
acroM the Yalabusha river between La Florr

parsed.
Consideration of the sundry civil bill1 was
resumed and Mr. Cojkrell ( Mo. ) continued
hh speech on the Cuban question , beguu
yesterday.
Mr. Vest ( Mo. ) Inquired ootto voce ot Mr.
Cockrell If ho propcusd to "take the back
track" again today.
In concluding Mr. Cockrf'.l Bald that he
desired to have parsed by congress such
resolutions as would declare the Cuban
pitrlots free and Independent and that not
the slightest revtralr.l or constraint edoulil
bo placed on tljeni , They would , ho doubted
not , be able la a short time to gain their
freedom. '
, 'Mr. Teller , speaking on the same subject ,
said he had no desire unduly to criticise the
priMldt'iit or the administration. He had felt
from the beginning there should to a una
nimity of action' oil the part of all parties In
ccngre ? ? If there w'as to be war a war which
ho thought misfit have been averted If the
preceding admtnUtration , or even the pres
ent one , had acted properly Its part In diplo
macy. [
Ho was of the cjplnlon that the friends of
the administration ) besides beln ? wlllkig to
have a war with Spain , were1 also willing tci
seek war among thlo political factions in this
body. i
Mr. Teller then'reviewed the action of
congress on jthe Cuban question. Coming
jdcl.vn to thespeecji , of Mr. Hare last Saturj
day , , he said ltf. \u ? the first time In hln
lonf ; experlehccijliutbcs senate that .he had
hoard congress threatened with an execu
tive veto , or hqard'v the senate threatened
with a deadlock with the house ctf repre
"
sentatives. ' '
HASrCONFIDENCE IN THE , PRESIDENT.
During several days , ho declared , It wen
Indecently whispered about the senate that
the present president would veto the resolu
tions If they contained a provblon for the
recognition of ' the Cuban republic. He did
net believe the 'president had authorized any
man to say that , at least no such Information
to that effect had reached him from "re-
spe'ctablo ' sources. "
He bellPved that the discussion last Sat
urday night had grown partry out of the
excitement of the moment and partly out of
a desire to precipitate a political discussion.
Mr. Teller maintained that he. and those
who had voted with him , had voted agalnr-t
the conference report in the early course of
Tuesday morning 'to sustain a principle.
Had they been successful then , there would
be In the resolutions passed a clause recog
nizing the Independence of the Cuban re
public.
Mr. Teller maintained that even * today
there was no necessity for Intervention by
the United States. Should we recognize Cu
ban Independence and give the patriots our
moral support he had no doubt they would
bo able to sustain themselves and gain their
freedom.
Me. Foraker called attention to statements
oado In the senate two years ago by , the
present secretary of state , Mr. Sherman , to
the effect that the Cuban republic had an
established form of government , administered
bv officials of high standing , character and
ability. Ho held , therefore , that If those
statements were true ' two years ago , their
truth had been stto'ngly actuated since that
time , and that It wcs further entirely proper
for the United States to recognize the gov
ernment of the CutMtM.
It waa hero that Mr. Foraker made his
statement regarding the official recognition
of the existing Cuban republic.
In discussing the diplomatic relatlctis be
tween this country ead Spain , Mr. Foraker
read from a newapapar clipping what was wld
ta be a serai-official statement. In effect that
In a. formal dspati | [ sent by the president
to Madrid , the attorney general had changed
the term "Independent government" to
"stable- government , " the change being made
bccaiue "stable" was the weed of diplomacy
to be employed In the circumstances.
WOODFORD IS DIPLOMATIC.
When Minister Woodford Inquired what
construction to bo placed en the word
"stable. " the president replied that It must
bo regarded as meaning "Independent. " Mr.
Woodford had tolled to transmit the presi
dent's meaning.to the Spanish government ,
( erring that suah a statement made officially
might complicate future negotiations.
Mr. Forakcr-Vald that seemed to be the
explanation why the Independence of the
Cubans had not bcu demanded by the presi
dent. 1ft
Mr. Allison "interrupted to say that he did
not think thc e was any doubt that the cor
respondence Wltn Spain would show that the
president hadj acinally demanded tbo Inde
pendence of Cuba.
In response to an Inquiry from Mr.
requesting him to be more specific , Mr , Al
lison eald : ;
"I cannot , as ,0 witness , be very specific
on hearsay evidence. The president In bis
corrcspondenci'iwlih ' the Spanish governmen1
did eay thero/cnui.t be an Independent gov
ernment In Cuba. , This demand was trans
mltted not only'through Minister Woodford
but also turatgh'tbo Spanish minister In
Washington to j a/government. I cannot be
more definite at this time. "
IMr. Foraker , returning the trend of his re
marks , said that the understanding was tha
the president was endeavoring , througl
diplomatic negotiations , to promote the In
dependence of the people of Cuba. H
thought the negotiations today the slgnlnj
of the resolutions and the sending of an ul
tlmatum to Spain would amount practically
to a recognition of the Independence ot tb
Cuban republic and he thought It would b
so developed by tomorrow morning. He ha
no doubt that the Cuban republic would b
recognized.
Mr. Foraker'sald ho believed that criticism
of the president at this time was out o
place. Instead ot caviling over these ma
ters ho deemed It desirable to secure a unit
of action. Ho had stood squarely by bis con
vlctlon In favor ot Independence , but wa
anxious to secure action and had therefor
agreed to the striking out of the recognition
clause.
FUTURE WILL TBLL.
It , was not known now whether the pros-
bad made mistakes or not. Only the
tut lira could properly and truthfully develop
the president's position.
Mr , Tlllmnu asked Mr , Fornker for n more
explicit statement and Mr. Foraker replied :
"I think 1 made the statement that seine
roprcsrntatlvrn of this government wcro
dealing with the representatives of that gov
ernment and that will amount to this : the
government In the Immediate future will bo
dwllnc with them Just as It occurred to mo
that wo would bo dealing with them If wo
recognized the Government. "
Mr. Tlllman asked Mr. .ForaV-er It he had
no positive Information , to which the Ohio
senator replied : " 1 have positive * Informa
tion , but It Is not official. "
Mr. Teller then concluded his speech ,
holding It to be the duty of all to stand by
the country , rather than to seek political
advantace.
Mr. Hale expressed doubt whether any
credit could come out ot the present discus
sion. H > ! then reviewed the action ot the
last few days.
Mr. Warren ( Wyo. ) paid a high tribute to
the president find said that It wna evident ,
from the speecheo Just delivered , that 'the
political opponents of the president were
aligning their nosce , and the fight to como
next fall would be all the other animals In
the "zoo" against the elephant and ao usual
the elephant would have his trunk with him
and occupy the center of the ring.
Mr. Stewart ( Nev. ) followed In a dlacutulon
of the Cuban question.
In the course ot a speech by Senator Allen ,
In which he explained the position of those
who voted against the conference report on
the Cuban question , 'Mr , Carter Interrup'ed
to say that the flags wore being displayed
throughout the city , troops were being
mobilized and the navy was preparing for
action. Through all this the sundry civil
and naval appropriation bills , both carrying
money for the support of the government ,
were being delayed.
TALKING IS OUT OF PL-ACE.
"Why , " he Inquired , "could not the thlrty-
flvo senators who voted agalnct the canto-
cnco report admit that they had made a cnlij-
taku and lot us now proceed with 3 united
front to uphold the president and the coun
try ? "
Mr. Allen replied with a reference to the
American flag. Ho had cari'led that flog. 'ie
eald , amid shot and shell and knew what It
meant to a Mud by It.
.Mr. Carter remarked that nobody wa& dlu-
posed to question the patriotism ot the Ne-
bnirtka senator nor the thirty-five who voted
against the Cuban conference report. "I do
believe1 he continued , "that In the present
circumstances It la better to make prepara
tions for the coming war than to make .c-
marks or Incriminating questions. "
A't ' the close of 'Mr. Allen's remark * Sir.
Thuraton said that at 11:24 : toJay , when the
president signed the Cuban resolutions sent
to him by congress , the time for party dis
cussion had ended. All but three senators
had at ono time or another voted for the
resolutlccs which were now a law , and he
thought It the duty of senators to uphold
the president and the country with t-qual
equanimity.
' 'The time will como for discussion of po-
IUlc.il phases of this question. Now , tirvtll
Cuba Is made free , until her starving women
and children are clothed eaU fed , until
Spain has been driven from the western hem
isphere forever , for God's sake let us cease
this political bickering. "
Mr. Alllsen then presented an amendment
to the siKrtry civil bill appropriating and
making Immediately available j 173,151 with
which to pay to Great Britain the award for
'Bering ' sen claims made by the Joint cctv
ventlon of February 20 , 1SOG. He had been
urged to place the amendment en this bill
by 'tho fore n relations committee , Instead
of waiting for the general deficiency bill.
The amendment was agreed to.
On motion of 'Mr. ' Allison the senate , at
5:33 : , iwcnt Into executive session and soon
afterward adjourned.
DISCUSS THK 1M..VX OK CAMPAIGN.
Fleet Should lie Hold to Meet the
Sltiminh KIcilllln.
WASHINGTON , April 20. "I hope , " said a
promkiept naval officer today , who hss given
much thought to the nubjeot , "that the plan
of operation decided upon by the department
will not Include an attack by out- fleet on
Morro castle and the forts at Cabanas as
the first stroke or the campaign. It we do
this many of our ships are auro to be crippled
and sent home for repairs. Our docking
facilities on the South Atlantic coMt are so
limited that tTlo vessels would cither have to
be sent far north to bo repaired cc else await
their time for dscklng in the eouth. Thd
Spaniards are taking the cue and are die-
playing much military sagacity In the move
ment of their ships. They are concentrating
them In their homo ports and If our fleets
are disabled by attempting to reduce the
fortifications at Havana they will steam over
here and Inflict Irreparable damage on themi
It seoma to me the proper thing fov us to do
would be to attempt to land a largo force of
men In Cuba , surround the fortifications and
starve out the Spaniards , meanwhile keeping
up a blockade of the harbor and the coast by
our fleet of ships. I think , with an army of
20,000 men , supplemented by the Insurgents'
strength on the Island , wo would be able to
do this.
"You will remember that during our lot1 !
war our fleets suffered considerably In the
attack on the forts In Charleston harbor ,
wfaereas when the soldlera holding them as
certained that Sherman was coming with an
army from the Inland they began to evacuate
when he was ICO miles away. These matters
tiavo been brought to the attention of
strategic board , which Is now formulating
a plan of campaign. "

WASIHNOTON , April 20. The house today
panned without dlvtViln : , as an emergency war
measure , the bill empowering the president
to call out ( he > olunteer forces , and provid
ing for their organization.
Iloth the'president and Secretary Alger bad
urged the Imperative- necessity of the past
ing of the bill today , and Chairman Hull
ot the military committee drove It through
under whip and spur.
The bill was drafted at the War depart
ment , Introduced In ttio house yesterday , and
conldered and reported by the committee to
day. : No such expedition could have been pos
sible , except under stress of war pressure.
Ilie bill h permanent In KB character.
The principal change made In the bill aa
Introduced was that the appointment of all
regimental officers arc to bo made by the
governors of states , Instead of by the presi
dent , as was proposed by the War depart
ment. This action conforms to tho. practice
of the civil war.
There waa a tremendous demonstra
tion In the house Immediately after
the read'ng of the Journal , when
Mr. Pruden , the president's executive
clerk , announced the president's approval
of the Cuban resolutions. TJie galleries
cheered anJ the members on the floor ap
plauded vigorously. The speaker with dim-
cult ) ' suppressed the ovation with which
the announcement was greeted.
The Joint resolution directing the printing
and distribution of extra copies of military
publications of the War department was
adopted.
CAL.LS UP ARMY HILL.
CVIr. Hull , chairman of the committee on
mllltaiy affairs asked uoanltnotis consent for
the consideration of < the bill he Introduced
yesterday at the request of the War depart
ment authorizing the president to call for
voltntfers. He explained that the commit
tee had agreed to the measure at n specl.i !
meeting this morning. It was a very urgent
measure , he said. The secretary of war had
appealed to him this morn'ng to press It
ml he had Just had a message from the
r'hlto House saying that the passage of the
111 today was Imperative. i.Mr , Hull said
lat the committee had made only ono Im-
ortant change lii thc > bill as 'prepared ' by
.he War department. That change reserved
o the governors of tbo states the power tel
l > polnt company and regimental ofllcers ,
lilcli the bill as drawn conferred upon the
resident and was In harmony with the law
f 1SC1.
The house went Into committee o ! the
hole to consider the bill.
Me. Kaycrs ( dem. , Tex. ) criticised tfie eoc-
on authorizing the president to appoint the
taff officers , subject to the confirmation of
ie e.nate , or authorizing him to aealgn
ese ofllcers from the regular army.
Mr. Hull explained that the committee
greed that past precedents should be fol-
owed , and the governors of states should
plain the power to appoint all regimental
IBcers. The Joint resolution passed by con-
ress , authorizing the president to employ
ic mllltla force of the United States , Lie said
ould not meet the present eltuatlon.
Ho felt authorized to say that If we were
o light this war It would be-with the volun-
cer and not the mllltla force.
lAlLG'EIl' ' SUGGESTS 'A CHANGE- ,
rr Hull read the following -telegram from
ecretary Alger :
I h-pa yon will Introduce your bill this
lornlng. Time ! ? now very valuable. On
ie whole , I am Inclined to think that reHiring -
Hiring commissions to be signed by tlie
resllent for the mllltln would be cause for
ctlon nnd opposition liy the governors , who
nturnlly intent feel t'nat this was taking
erne of their power from them. Gun you
onslstently change Jhnt and hasten Its
assage ?
'Mr. ' Johnson ( rep. , Ind. ) at thU point at-
cmptcd to secure time to address the house
egardlng his attitude on the general slt-
atlon. If war was to come , he said , he
as ready to support any measure to pros-
cute It. > 13ut before hostilities began ho
tought the house should glvo him a chance
o speak.
The request met with much opposition ,
nd wen refused.
Mr. Cox ( dem. , Tenn. ) gave the bill as mod-
fled his endorsement. .
Mr. iMarsb ( rep. , 111. ) cni Mr. Savers both
xpresacd the opinion that this measure
hould be passed forthwith.
The measure was asked for by the pres-
dcnt and the secretary of war. said Mr.
aycrs , and there should be uo further qulb-
llng.
3Ir. MoMHlIn moved to reduce the term of
nllstmo.it of the volunteer forces for three
ears to one year. Ho thought 'many ' ot the
oung men ot the country would not bo
tiling to enlist for three years.
Mr. Hull * replied it was not expected that
Uo war would be a Ions one unless Spain
csortcd to guerilla warfare , but did not be-
levo a three-year term would terrorize the
ounu men. The amendment was defeated.
Mr. Handy offered a substitute providing
or the enlistment of 400.000 men for the
resent war. He said It was a temporary
acaauro. The substitute was lost.
WAR NO LIGHT THING.
Mr. Talbort ( dem. , S. C. ) warned the house
hat war with Spain was net a light thing.
It'll who thought It would be over In a few
ajsculd be sadly disappointed lu his
pinion.

Mr. Little ( drtn. , Ark. ) offered an amend
ment , which WAS agreed to. providing that

Mr. Llnnoy ( rep. , N. C. ) offered an amend
ment providing that nothing In the bit ;
should bo construed to prevent comp-uile * 4-
and regiments from sclenting their own ofll
cers. Tic power to select officers to fill
vacancies , he said , would bo an Incentive to
enlistment. The tyrannous discipline of offi
cers. h said , was more dreaded by soldiers
than the bullets and bayonets of the enemy.
Mr. Grouvmor vigorously opposed the
amendment. Its adoption , ho said , would
sow a seed of nln that would crow up to
death. "If I decided to make the urmy which
Is I to fight this war a census ot war politi
cians ) , " said he , "I would adopt that amend
ment. "
Mr. Grosvcnor referred to the experience
of the last war. which he eald wa n lnst
such a system. MXJro than ono-half of the
ollc ! B elected at the beginning of the war
had retired or been retired within a year on
account oftheir uufltntes.
'Mr. ' Pcarco ( dem. , Mo. ) took the same view.
The election of officers was destructUo of
discipline and elllclency.
Mr. Talbc-it challenged this statement and
referred to the experience ot the confederate
army.
ALL MEN NOT BRAVE.
Thla drew from General Walker the state
ment that his experience In the confedc-.ato
army had taught him that nn army that
elected Itu own olUcora was wholly Inef
ficient. He declared that all men wcro not
bmve. While all men would fight If prop
erly disciplined and led , many could not bo
counted on In tint hour of danger when In
efficiently ofllcered.
The Llnney amendment was defeated.
iAn amendment was adopted providing for
a chaplain for each 'regiment. '
An amendment was adopted providing ( hat
regimental and all other medical officers
should keep daily records of all officers" or
men sick or wounded and that upon the dla-
bandment of the organization they should
bo filed In the record and pension ofllce of
the War department.
Section 13 was amended so as lo provldo
that the governors of statrn. Instead of the
president , might appoint officers of the reg
ular army In the grades of field officers In
the volunteer a.my , Birch appointments to do-
pcnd uK | > n the coraent of the president.
Mr. Cannon offered as an additional section
an amendment providing that all government
omjilores called Into tho. mllltla or naval
service shall bo granted leave ot absence and
on honorable discharge thall bo entitled to
resume their empbyment at the same pay
and grade.
It a ! o provided where necessary for tem
porary ii'yolntments to fill vacancies.
i.Mr. Grosvcnor opposed the amendment. II
might bo necessary , he said , at name-time to
oKcr ouch an Inducement to secure enlist
ment , but with 12,000,000 able-bodied men
there was no reason why these favorites ol
the government should be shown additional i
favoritism.
.Mr. Paris ( rep. , Ind. ) said the amendment
was the legitimate outgrowth of the civil
service humbug. This proposition contained
the biggest bounty ever contemplated tq en
listing soldiers.
The amendment was defeated.
The bill was then passed without division
