Washington, April 18.—The Senate at 9 o’clock Saturday evefiing, after a continuous session of eleven hours, passed, by a vote of 67 to 21, the fol- lowing joint resolution as a substitute for the House resolution, which direct- ed the President to intervene by force, if necessary, to stop the war in Cuba: Joint Resolution. For the recognition of the indepen- dence of the people and republic of Cuba,'demanding that the Government of Spain relinquish its authority and government in the island of Cuba, and to withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters, and di- recting the President of the United States to use the land and naval forces of the United States to carry these res- olutions into effect. VVhe-reas, The abhorrent conditions which have existed for more than three years in the island of Cuba, _so near our own borders, nave shocked the. moral sense of the people of the United States, have been a disgrace to Chris- tian civilization, culminating, as they have, in the destruction of a United States battle ship, with 266 of its of- ficers and crew, while on a friendly visit in the harbor of Havana, and cannot longer be endured, as has been set forth by the President of the Unit ed States in his message to Congress of April 11, 1898, upon which the action of Congress was invited; therefore Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled: First—That the people of the island of Cuba are, and of right ought to be, free and independent, and that the Government of the United States here- by recognizes the republic of Cuba as the true and lawful government of that island. Second—That it is the duty of the United States to demand, and the Gov- ernment of the United States does here- by demand, that the Government of Spain at once relinquish 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, di- rected and empowered to use the en- tire land and naval forces of the United States, and to call into the ac- tual service of the United States the militia of the several States to such ex- tent. as may be necessary to carry these resolutions into effect. Fourth—«That the United States here- by disclaims any disposition or inten- tion to exercise sovereignty, jurisdic- tion, or control over said island, ex- cept for the pacification thereof; and asserts its determination, when that is accomplished, to leave the govern- ment and control of the island to its people. “Free Cuba and the independence of the island republic," was the Shibbo- leth of the Senate throughout the four days of debate. While the verdict re- turned was decisive, there were notes of discord. They were prompted by a fear lest if the action taken by the Senate should ultimately be accom—' plished as finalJthis Government might become involved in complications that in future years would prove serious. No less than twenty—five Senators ad— dressed themselves to the mon‘entous question under consideration, and while, under the rule, elaborate argu- ments were impossible, the speeches were characterized by an impassioned force and eloquence rarely heard in or out of the halls of the American Con- gress. They were, with very few xceptions, in favor of the most extreme messures proposed in dealing with‘ the Cuban question. Only three of them were distinctly and unequivocally in advo- cacy of peace. They were delievered by Senators Wellington (Rep., Md), Caffery (Dem., La.), and White (Dem., 02.1.). The speech of Senator Platt (Rep, Conn.) was a straddle. An analysis of the final vote follows: Yes—Republicans. 24; Democrats, 31;, Populists, 7; Silver Republicans, 23. To? tel, 67. Nays—Republicans, 19; Democrats, 2. Total, 21. When the resolution was passed Chairman Davis of the Committee on Foreign Relations moved that the Sen- a. conference, but there was so much objection to this, Mr. Faulkner saying that the House might concur in the Senate’s action, that he withdrew the motion, and the resolution will go to the House to-day, the passage of the “House resolution, with an amendment in which the concurrence of theUI-l'ouse is requested." It may be that some member of the House will desire to move immediately concurrence in the Senate's action, but he will probably not be permitted to make the motion. The programme for to-day is for Mr. Adams, acting Chairman of the Com« mittee on Foreign Affairs, to move that the resolution be referred‘to that committee, and he alone will be recog- nized. The committee will then report to the House a. recommendation that the House disagree to the amendment of the Senate and ask a conference. It thls motion shall carry, and it is confidently believed that a majority of the House are apposed to recognition of the insurgent Government and will support the committee's recommenda- tion, Messrs. Adams, Quigg and Dens- more will be named as managers of the conference on the part of the House. . It is believed that the resolutions as reported from the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, with the Teller amendment added, disclaimlng any in- tention on the part of the United States to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over Cuba. except for the pur- pose of pacification, will finally be re- ported to the Senate and House for adoption. ' , ' ' ‘- There is no reason to believe that the i President wlill withhold his signature in whatever shape the resolutions may come""to him, but some of his friends insist that if the House agrees to the provision for the recognition of Cuban independence he will allow the reso- lution to become a law without his signature. . Mr. Dingley, the Republican leader on the floor in the House, said last night: , " “The situation is unforunate. The question whether the country shall have war or peace has become a par- tisan one. The exigencies of party have taken the place of calm understanding Faced with such conditions the Repub- licans cannot affard to do otherwise than to stand firm. I do not apprehend ‘that there will be any division, certain- ly I hope not. There is an attempt by the Senate to invade the prerogativelof the President. Since the formation of the Government the Executivehas car- ried on the functions of a portion of Congress would now assume.” Said Secretary Long last night: “The matter rests with Congress. It is for them to do.” Another canvass made yesterday among those Republicans who have been known to advocate radical action upon the Cuban question shows no ap- parent change in the situation. It is believed that not more than twelve or fifteen Republicans will vote with the Democrats upon Mi. Bailey's motion to concur in the Senate resolutions. Therefore, there is still an apparent majority for the Republican motion, ,which will be to non-concur and send the Senate resolution to conference. A conference was held last night at which Gallinger, Foraher, Chandler, Quay, Penirose, Mason, Nelson, Baker, lVilson and Perkins were present. No agreement was reached except to wait for the developments of to-morrow. It would seem from talks with several of these Senators that they have almost concluded they are beaten. FLYING SQUADRON’S NEXT MOVE. “’hen the Fleet Goes to Sea It Will Be to Destroy Spain’s Forces. W'ashington, April 18.—It is not pro- posed by the Department to send the flying squadron again to sea until .war has actually been declared, and then it will be sent to Porto Rico to destroy Spain’s force there. Just as soon as the New Orleans has received her full complement of men she will proceed to Hampton Roads for duty under Commodore Schlcy’s com- mand. It .is also proposed to fill the San Francisco crew to the maximum limit, and to attach that vessel to the flying squadron. No action has yet been taken on the proposition of transferring the New York and Massachusetts, in order that Commodore Schley's fleet may be com- posed entirely of speedy ships. This transfer, it is believed, will not be or— dered until after the flying squadron starts for Porto Rico, where 'the heavy battery of the Massachusetts will be required for reducing the fortification of San.- Juan. When this work is ac- complished the flying squadron will be sent to the other side of the Atlantic to meet the Spanish vessels with a view to their destruction. Besides the, vessels mention-ed which will be attached to Commodore Schley's fleet, it is generally understood in naval circles that the St. Louis and St. Paul will be assigned to his squadron as soon as they are converted into auxil- iary cruisers. DESERTS POLITICS FOR WAR. General Wallace \Vould Bathe Fight Than .___. > Be a. United States Senator. Indianapolic, April 18.—General Lew Wallace has caused a stir in Indiana by publishing the following statement: “In view of the certainty of war with Spain, I to-day tender the national Government my services in the field. That I have been a candidate for Unit- ed States Senator may subject this ac- tion on my part to miscontruction, so I announce my withdrawal from the Senatorial race. To many Repub- licans who have given me their sup- port I offer my hearty thanks and most grateful acknowledgment.” General Wallace has gained distinc- tion both in war and literature and his withdrawal from the Senate race re~ moves a dangerous opponent of the other candidates. \. Army hloves Kept Secret. ‘Washington, April lS.—P.ussle1 A. Alger, Secretary of War, said to a re- porter last night: “I Shall henceforth be compelled to refrain from giving out information concerning the movement of troop and other official matters connected with the department. I would like the press to know I intend to treat its represen- tatives with absolute courtesy, as I have always tried to do. But if the war cloud lowers I shall feel con- strained to maintain unusual reticence regarding official matters.” A Furniture Trust. Grand Rapids, Mich, April lS.—Ne~ gotiations that were begun during the January furniture season in this city for forming a trust have been success- ful, and it is said that over 80 per cent. of the chamber suit manufacturers of the country, controlling nine—tenths of the output of case good, have agreed to put their plants into combination on a plan similar to that of the nail trust. There is some opposition to the trust here, but it is not extremely formid- able. “'atchlng Spanish “’arships. London, April 18.——Cable dispatches were received yesterday directing all American diplomatic and consular of- ficials to watch for movements of Span- ish warcraft in British waters and to report any such movement to Wash- ington immediately. It is supposed that the other embassies and consulates have“: been similarly instructed. Hospital Supplies for the Army. Washington, April 18.—The President has authorized the allotment of $20,000 out of the $50,000,000 emergency fund for the purchase of field furniture, sur- gical chests, surgical instruments, blankets, mattresses and hospital sup- plies for the army, / .. ‘ nORWALK nusmes‘s DIRECTORY. .
