The War Question is Now Finally

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

Third, That the President of

hereby is directed ami empow*

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*

or control over said island ox

today, all of tho Senator's boina fa- !
tigued on acoouut of the long vigil last ,

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

cejved from tho iWuse of Hepresonta

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.
