id it Eintd From ARMED FORCES OF AMERICA. The War Question is Now Finally Settled. i THE SUSPENSE AT LAST ENDED A ud the War Is Near at Hand--The " Resolution Reported From the Son nto Committee on Foreign tte latioiiB Fluully Adopted, With tho Addition of the Fourth Sec ' tlon, i Known as the Teller Amendment, Disclaiming Any In tention on the Part of the United ? t? States to Acquire Cuba. <? ? ' ' ? Washington? (Spocial)? After ono of the hardest fought buttles between the two houses known in many years, Con gresn, ntuu early hour, on the morn ing of tbe Kith, eame to an agreemont upon the most momentous question it t has dealt with in a thifd of a century, yrhe Cuban resohttion was passed and will be sent to ihe President. Its pro visions mean tbo expulsion of Spaiu from the island of Cuba by the armed forces of the Uuitod States. Thore woro many rdll calls in both bouaes, and each body held tenaciously for its own resolution. The oonferees had great difficulty in agreeing. The firstoonfereuco showed a determination on tH? part of the House not to yield a einglo point, and it ''was only oftor long consultations with the Houee leaders that they agreed to allow ?ho littlo woYds "are and," in the first soction of the Souate resolution, which declares that the people of Cuba ate . and of right ought to bo froe and mde Jponden'L. The rosolutton as finally adopted ijb th?t reported from the Sen ate commit tee on foreign relations with the additipn of the fourth aeotiaa, known as tbo Tolior amendment, dis claiming t?ny intention on the part of the United States to acquire Cuba. The resolution as finally agreed to is as follows: Joint resolution: Joint resolu tion fqr the recognition of the indeftebdenco of the people of Cuba, demanding that the gov* ernment of Spain relinquish its authority and government in the island of Cuba, and with , draw the laud and. naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters, and directing the President of the United States to use the land and naval forces of the > United States to carry these * resolutions into effect. Whereas, The abhorrent con ditions which have existed for more than three years in the island of Cuba, Senear our own borders, have shocked the moral sense of the people of the United States, have been a disgrace to Christian civiliza tion, culminating, as they have, in the destruction of a Unit^dStates battleship, with ? ?Sl^Tts officers and crew, while on a friendly visit iu the harbor of- Havana and cannot longer be endured, as has been - set forth by the President of the United State* m bis mes sage to Congress of April 11, - 1898, Upon which the Congress Resolved, first, That the peo^ pie of the island of Cnb* are, rijdtrt to be, fr*e ^?rr-^n^t^.'rrr ,ym*V v . jWf -SOmstB0 Third, That the President of the Untied States l>e, and lie hereby is directed ami empow* erod to use the entire laud and naval forces of (lie United States, and tty, call into ac* tive servioe of the United States, the militia of the several States, to such an extent as may he necessary to carry thesflufcsoUitivns into effect. Fourth, That the United States hereby disclaims any disposition or intention to ex* erase sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over said island ox copt for the pacification there of, and asserts its determina - tion when that is accomplished, to leave the tfovtrnment and ' control of the island to its neo* pie. .

Comparatively littlo business Was transacted by tho Senate today, all of tho Senator's boina fa- ! tigued on acoouut of the long vigil last , night over tho Cuban resolutions. ; Consideration of tho sundry civil ap propriation bill was rdbumeu, and the 1 wide latitude of debate permitted under tho rules of tho Senate afforded oppor- ?; tuuity for boiuo explanations to bo j maile concerning the action of tho Sen ate upon the Cuban question. Mr. : Cook r ell, of Missouri, and Mr. JJaoon, ; of Georgia, explained the aotiou of tho I Democrats in voting against tho con- j ferenco report'iu tho early IiuiVh of this morning, and tho colloquies that ensued : between them and some of tho Kepub- \ licau Senators were t>piey and interest- j iug. At 12:27 p. iA a message was re- ; cejved from tho iWuse of Hepresonta tives announcing it? agreement to the j report of tho conference committee on j tho Cuban resolutions. Tho announce* j mont of the signature of the Speaker to \ tho resolutions-. was mado. Eight miu-r utes afterward tho Vice-President au-^ nounced his signature to the Cuban j resolutions. Ariuii luth. ?Tho House presented a | most desolate appearance when it con- j voned at noon, aitor tho weary all-night j session. Mr. Diugley ahc! Mr. Bailey, i tho leaders of tho respective sides; . General Grosvenor and other House i veterans showed few Higus ol the long siege they had passed through. While the journal, which M as very long, was being read, Mr. llayer, ^Republican, of Iowa, chairman of the cqrmnitlee on enrolled bills, brought ijA thd Cuban solutions; which hnd been enrolled .under his personal direction. The Speaker immediately signed them, and as soon as the reading of tho journal ! xas oonoluded, at 12:10 p. m , ho an nounced his B'.gaaturo. Thoro was no demonstration. The House then ad journed, ftfcat tbe firat efcll efcaU bo ARMY AFFAIRS. A B^ll Introduced by Unwloy for In crease of the Military. Washington, (Special.) ?

The moasuro wan prepared under the immediate supervision of Assistant Secretary Meiklojohn, after a. thorough sludy of the best interests of the nor vice. In transmittinyrtho bill to Con gress a request is .made for favorable consideration, and . in view of the ex igencies of the situation, speedy action is expected. In timo of war, the army is to to consist of two brauchex, the rognlar and the volunteer army, the latter to bo maintained only during the existence of war, or while war is immi nent, and is to ho raisod and organized only after Congress authorizes it.

This is not tho momeut to trace a parliamentary pro* grnmmo, but tho moment to uuite our selves, as our fathom havo done, in the faco of an odious attempt against the integrity of our territory.

Prominent people believe that war may yet bo avoided, but busi ness is uluiost paralyzed; no contracts are beiug entered into and the papers are urging Spain to declaro war imme diately. The correspondent of the Loudon Daily Mail says: "The Vatican will decide on a proposition that Spain should cede Cuba io the Pope, who would transfer the island to the United States in tho same way that Austria, in 18U0, oodod Vonetia to Franoe instead of Italy. " * Acting under instructions from tho Spanifeh minister at Washington ,the Spanibh consuls in various parts orfhe couutw are making arrangements for tho departure of the Spanish colonies iu th?ta*??veral localities.

Tlio Kcsotutton and tlio I'ltlmntum to Spain \V1H bo Made rructlonlly One Act -President Wanted t ?? iluve Several Days' Time. Washington, April 19? (Special. )? 'I h? ultimatum to be sout to Spain will bo brief and to tho point. It contains a copy of tho joint resolu tion adopted by tlio llouso ami Senate. [ This will bo accompanied by a polite invitation to resnoud by tho nnmodiato evacuation of Cuba by Spain. It is expected that she will at once , 1 reject tlio demands of tbo United j SlitUiH, Tli in will loud to immediate hostilities. At tlie session of tho cubiuot tlio ?firC*idout rather favored allow ing tbo Madrid government two or ovou three j days 111 which to reply to our demands, hut ainee that 1 1 in t; hfc'hus changed hi& views somewhat, a id it is now boliovod j to fro hia purpose to jro^uuo an autswor | within a very short time, probat>ly withiu twenty-four hours. Tho reason for limiting tho time to one day, or ovou loss, la aaul to bo outiroly strategic, otliorwiso two or oven threo days would have boon allowed. . The steady progress of tho uavy and war preparations is continued. As to tho oourso of events in tlio im mediate future, tho ouly prediction that euu bo made is ouo based on pro codouts. Recording to those, Minister Woodford will notify tho Spuuiuh gov ernment of tho action of tho govern ment of the United States, und should tho Spanish answer bo unsatisfactory, as is expected, tho next stop in order will bo for him to ask for his transports and leave Madrid, That would bo fol lowed immediately by tho withdrawal from Washington of Souor i'olo, tho Spanish minister. At this poiut it can bo said that the Spanish government will bo shape every phase of negotia tions as to obligo us to take tho initia tive at every point. After tho withdrawal of tho ministers and assuming that Spain dooB not back down, will follow actual war, but whether or not tho lli'flt ovort act will be preceded by u formal declaration of war, which would insure tho immediate neutralization of tho powers, or whether tho North Atlantic squad ron will make ilu appearance oil' Ha vana as a beginning, caunot yet bo predicted. In this connection, it may be staled that the army and navy experts aro be ginning to take Iokb hopeful view of uu easy und quick campaiuu than they eu tertnined a short time ago. Months aro now mentioned instead of weeks, as the probable length of hostilities uw one eminent naval officer, who had ex pcrieuce in tho late war, profesbo'su be iiof that unless outside pressure is brought to bear, u war may easily drag along for a year underrtbe existing con ditions. ^ Apparently the powers havo abandon ed open efforts in Washington. The ultimatum sent to Spuiu in flat footed and made in plain English, and no tontutivo or half v ay reply will bo accepted. If Spain refuses a blockade of Cuba will begin at. once. A cabinet otHcer thiuks it will probably take months to bring about tho ^results which will compel tho Spaniards to evacuate and enable the Island to bo .occupied by the United States without inolcutution. ?indicated H frrma chart, n bibtto fd Geo.
