Tho Cuban resolution was passed, and will be sent to the President this morning. Its provisions mean the expulsion of Spain from the is land of Cuba by the armed forces of the United States. There were many roll calls in both Houses, and each body hold tonaciously for its own re solution. The conferees had great difficulty in agreting. The first con ferences showed a determination on the part of the House not to yield a single point, and it was only after a long consultation with the House leaders that they agreed to allow the little words "are and" in the first s-ction of the Senate resolution, which declared that the people of Cuba are and of right ought to be free and in dependent. The resolution as fitial ly adopted is that reported from the Senate committee of foreign rela -tions with the addition of the fourth section, known as the Teller amend. ment, disclaiming any intention on the part of the United States to ac quire Cuba. The resolution cannot be sent to the President until after it is signed by the presiding officers tomorrow. SENATE PROOERDINoS. Washington, April 18.-Shortly after the Senato c9nvened this morn - ing Senator Rawlins, of Utah, pre sented a legal argument upon the question whether the authority to recognize a foreign nation rested ex clusively with the President. Sona tor Rawlins was given only slight attention, as within a minute after he began to speak the action of the House on the Senate Cuban resolu. tions was whispered about the cham ber, and that immediately became the solo topic of interest. 'Senator Mason, of Illinois, pro sented, and had roferred to the naval committee, a resolution extending the thanks of Congress to Capt. Sigs bee. THE CUDAN REs.oLUTION. At 2:35 p. mn. the Cuban resolu tiou, adopted by the Senate Satur day night and agreed to today, with ertain amendments, was laid beforeo the Senate. Senator Davis, chairman of the foreign relat ions comnmitt en, in order that the Senate might settle tho ques tion, moved to concur in the Houso resolutions. T1he mnotion was de feated-32 to 46. Senator Davis then moved that the Senate insist upon its amend ment to the house sosolution, and that the President of the Senate aip point its conferees. THlE SENATE INSIsTs. The first par-t of Senator Davis's motion was agreed to, but the second part, after a rather boated debate, was defeated-84 to 43. Consideration of thme sundr-y civil bill w~as then resumed, but in a short time the clerk of the House of Rep. resentatives presented to the Senate the House notification that the House had insisted upon its amendments and asked for a confereonce. The message was at once laid before the Senate. Sonator Alleu asked for a division of the question, and the . conference wan agreed to. A cONFEcRENcE AoREED To. Teewas some discussion about the appointment of conferees, the Senators favoring freeoCuba saying the majority ought to be represented on the conference. Messrs Allen, Hoar, WVhite, Thu rston, Teller, Stewart and Pasco discussed the parliamentary precedent. After an animated discussion the latter- part of Senator Davis' motion was agreed to. The Vice President appointed as conferees on the part of the Senate Senators Dav5, Foraker and Mor gal. The Senate then took a recess un til 8- o'clock. NO AGREEMENT REACUED. The long waited for situation, the return of the conferees, came at 8.10 p. m. There was a visible stir in the galleries as the chairman of the conference committee, Senator Davis, of Minnesota, rose to present the re port and make his statomont to the Senate. By this time nearly every Senator was in his seat, and the in torost became intensu na it wits whispered about that an agreement had been reached. Senator Davis said in conformity with the instruc tions of the Senate the conferees met a like committee from the House, and that after a full and froe discus. sion he had to report that the con forees had failed to reach an agree ment. There was intense silence. It was the unexpected that had hap pened, and then a half sigh was board over the crowded galleries that all the oloquence, the logic and the exhaustive presentation of every phase of the pending proposition must go for naught. TWo FATEFUL WORDS, "ARE AND. Senator Davis then stated the points of disagreement, that there had been no difficulty to agree to the House resolution as amended, but the point of contention arose over the insertion of the words "are and" in the first section, which says the people of Cuba "are and of right ought to be free and independent." He said the majority of the conferees had agreed to waive the Turple amendment providing that the words above mentioned be inserted, but the Senate conferees were mot with re fusal to so agree, and lie reluctantly reported the same to the Senate. Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, then offered a motion to insist upon the Senate resolution, whereupon Sena tor Morgan of Ala'-awa, said in a a loud voice lie ba not yielded the Republic of Cuba as a member of the conference committee. THE BASIS OF AGREEMENT. April 10.--The conferees on the Cuban resolution reached an agree ment at 1.10 a. in., which is to re store the words "are and" in I te first paragraph, and to eliminate the Tur pie amendment recognizing the in suirgent Government entirely.Th first paragraph will be as it passed the Senate. At 1.14 a. mn. Senator Davis pre sented the cornfem ence report. The conference report has been adopted by the Sonato*-42 to 35. JOINT RESOLUTION: Joint resolution for t he recogn it ion of the indepenidenco of the people of Cuba, demanding that the Govern ment of Spain relinquish its authori ty over the island of Cuba, and with draw its naval and land forces fromi Cuba and Cuban waters, and direct ing the President of the United States to use the land .and naval forces of the United States to carr) these resolutions inito efget. Whereas, abliorrent conditions which have existed foir more than three years ini tihe island of Cuba, so near our own b)orders, have shocked the moral souse of the people of the United States; have been a disgrace to Christian civilization, culminat ing, as they have in the destruction of a United States battle ship with two hundred and siny-six of its officers and crew while on a visit in the harbor of Havana, and cannot longer be0 endured, as has been set fourth by the President of tihe United States in his message to> Congress of April 11, 1898, upon which tho ac tion of Congress was invited; there fore, RIesolvedl first, That the p)eople of the island of Cuba are, and of right ought to be free and independent; Second, That it is the duty of the United States to demand, arid the Government of the United States does hereby demand, that the Gov. ernent of ain at na relinnnish its authority and government in the island of Cuba, and withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters. Third, That the President of the United States be, and he hereby is, directed and empowered to use the entire land and naval forces of the United States and to call into actual service of the United States the militia of the several States, to ruch extent as may be iecessary to carry these resolutions into effect. Fourth, That the United States hereby disclaim any disposition or intension to exerciso sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over said is land excePt for the nacification there. of and asserts its determination, when that is accomplished, to lavo the government and control of the island to its people.

Washington, April 18.-The House met at 10 o'clock thin morning in accordance with the recess taken Sat urday morning. Mr. Dingley moved an adjourn ment, which was carried. The reg ular session, therefore, began at 12 o'clock. During tho two hours in tervening, a lot of hard work was done on both sides. Speaker Reed summoned his lieutenants to his room, and the situatiou was earnest ly discussed. Shortly before 12 o'clock Soiuator Hanna appeared on the floor of the House and had a consultalion with Goneral Gros venor, of Ohio. Th Hous was called to order at 1 2 o'clock, and soon afterward the clerk of the Senate announced the passage of the HIouso Cuban resolu. tion, with Senate amendments. As soon as the reading was con cluded, Mr. Dingloy moved concur rence in the Senate amendment, with an amendment striking out the clause in the first resolution, which recognized the indepondense of the existing republic, so that the first paragraph of the Senate amendment wvould read: "First-That the pee p)le of the island of Cuba of right ougnt to be fron anid independent." Upon his motion, Mr. Dingley de manded tho previous quest ion, which cut oil' debate. The vote was 1'79 to 150. Fourteon Republicans broke pairty lines and voted no. One Populist. H-oward (Ala.), voted aye with the Rep1ubl icanas. An interesting passage at arms oc curred between Speaker Reed and Mr. B3ailey, wvhich afforded excite ment for both sides. Mr. Shermaui (Reop. N. Y.) who had been selected as a referee in the controversy between Messrs. B3art,lett (Dem , Ga) and Brummn (Rep, Pa.), over the sensational personal en counter of last WVednesday, then read a statement to wihet both had subscribed. The apology to the House was made throngh Mr. Sherman, who stated that the matter had been ad justed satisfactorily to bo0th gentle meon, and that both had apologized. This honorable settlement of the dithiculty which had been the snbject of comment among the members for several days was received with gen ereal expressions of approval. The House then quieted down and pro eeeded 'under - the call of commit. tees to the consideration of minor matters. At 8:40 p. m., the resolutions were returned to the Houso with the Senato's decision to non-concur. Mr. Dingley moved that the House in sist upon its amendment and ask for a conference. Upon this motion he domanded the previous question. This time the Democrats cheered and the galleries joined in the dem onstration. As the previous ques tion cut off debate the speaker or dored the roll called. The responses on the roll call were followed closely for firther do fections from the Republican side, but there wore no acquisitions. In fact two of tho Republicans who voted against the motion to concur with an amendment on the last voto. The announcement of the defeat of the motion-148 to 173-was the signal for another demonstration on the Republican side. Mr. Dingley's motion to insist and ask for a conforonce was then agreed to without division. The House then took short, ro cesses until 8 o'clock. Nothing was done until 8:45 p. m). when the clork of tho Senate an nounced the disagroomo,t of the Senate to the House amendment, and the appointment of co.feres While the House Was awaiting a half hundred of the representatives gathered in thb lbby in the rear of the hall and awoko the echos with patriotic songs. The battle hymn of the republic was sung by General Henderson, of Iowa. "Dixie" and other songs were sung, led by some of the ex-Confederates, and then in tremendous volume, the corridors rang with an improvisation "Hang General Weyler on the Sour Applo Troo As We Go Marching on." The war spirit was reflected in the songs. At 0:35 p. in. the House was offi cially. notified of the Senate's section further insisting. Mr. Adams (Rep. of Pa.), as soon as the report of disagreement had been road, moved that the House still further insist upon its amend monts and request a further con ference. Again Mr. Bromwell moved that the house recede from its disagree ments. The motion was again lost, 144 177. Mr. Adams' motion was (then agreed to without division. The speaker again appointed Messrs. Adams, Heatwole and Dins more con fereos. A recess was then taken until 11 o'clock. At that hour the house took another recess until 11:30 p. m. to give the conferees another oppor tuniity to meet. At 11:30 p. mn. the House was formally notified of the action of the Senato and another recess until 12 o'clock was taken immediately. At midnight the House recessed until 12:30 a. mi. to await the action of the cot forces. In the House as soon as the cor.fonce report had boon p)resented1, Mr. Adams moved the adoption of the report and upon that motion lie demanded the previous question. The galleries gave cheer after cheer as the resolutions were read. The demann for t he previous question cut off the debate and Mr. Bailey and Mr. Johnson (Rep. of Ind.) both appealed for a few minutes time. Mr. Adams refused to yield time for debate owing to the lateness of the hour. Mr. Jonson protested indignantly. Mr. Bailey demanded the ayes and noes and the roll was callod. The p)reviouis quiestion was or dered, 71-121. Democrats and Republicans alike are voting aye on conference report in the House and it will be adopted with only a few negative votes. Th le first roll call showved 20)3 ayee and 5 nayes. The conference report was adopted by the House, 310-0. Great up plause. The House adjourned al 2:48 a. m.
