Settle the Status of the Cuban People—Recognition Left Out “and Are” Remain. Washington, April ISL—Congress has declared for armed intervention against Spain. The President is directed to demand the withdrawal of the Spanish land and naval forces from Cuba. This mea war. "Pr 'ident McKinley is ready for the issue. He has been waiting for the word given, last. night that releases him and puts the army and navy of the United States in motion. The ultima- tum will be communicated to Spain Without delay. It will reach the Cortes in session to—morrow. Spain will have forty-eight hours to accede to the will of the American people. By Friday the guns ought to boom off Morro Castle. The whole night was spent in conflict over two words in the first paragraph of the Senate resolution: "That the people of the Island of Cuba are, and of right ought 'to be free and indepen- dent.” The House conferees finally yielded to the Senate, and the committee de- cided on a. report for the original For- eign Relations resolution, which in- cludes the much-mooted words “are, and.” The Senate passed the resolution at 1.30 o’clock this morning by a vote of 42 to 35. The House followed in half an hour, adopting the resolution by a vote Of 176 yeas to 95 nays. The President retired before mid- night, and the White House was de- serted except for the Executive clerk, Mr. Montgomery, who received the bul- Vletlin announcing the Senate’s action over the Capitol wire. The message was turned over to the domestic end of the mansion, and, without waiting for the action of the House, the Execu- tive office was closed for the night. The recognition of the independence of the Cuban Republic is deferred by the omission of the Turpic amendment, but it stands in the preamble by the re- tention of the declaration that the peo- ple of Cuba. “are and of right ought to be free and independent.” The House wished to strike out the words “are and” and simply declare that “the peo- ple of Cuba of.right ought to be free and independent.” Seven times the resolution traveled from House to Senate. Thrice the Re— publicans of the House voted down propositions to recede, each time by in- creased: majoriti-es.’ Three times the Senate stood firmly by its purpose. -A deadlock seemed imminent, and was only averted at the last moment " by~the~ concession or the two seeming- ly unimportant words of the first res- olution. ' President McKinley now 'not merely is empowered to-act against Spain; he has been directed to do so, and-”to“ 'use the land and naval forces of the United States to make effective the instruc— tions and directions of the Congress. Whether he shall strike the first blow or not is not the queétion for'htm to consider. The blow will-be struck if it is necessary to strike it in order to induce-Spain to quit Cuba. With the attachment of his Signature to the joint resolution war is declared, if Spain :chooses- it shall be war. The only escape from war is for Spain to accede without resistance to the de~ mands of the United States THE VOTE IN THE HOUSE genute Resolution Accepted, With an Amendment, by a Vote of 179 to 156. Washington, April 19.—The House of Representatives yesterday passed the Senate Cuban resolutions,after striking out the clause recognizing the repub- lic of the island. The vote to concur in the resolutions on motion of Mr. Dingley, and was 179 to 156. The resolutions were then sent back to the Senate. There was no debate in the House. . The resolution as reads as follows:' ".Whereas, The abhorrent conditions which have existed for more than three years in the island of Cuba, so near our own borders, have shocked the moral sense of the people of the United States, have been a disgrace to Christian civilization, culminating as they have in the destruction of a Unit- ed States battle ship. with 266 of its 0f- 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- it now stands a 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 assem- bled, “First—That the people of the island of Cuba are, and of right: ought to be. free and independent. "Second—That it is the duty of 13:. United States to demand, and the (i... , ernment of the United States . hereby demand, that the Governor ' . of Spain at once relinquish its 21111315:- ity and government in the island \ Cuba. and withdraw its land and ma val forces from Cuba. and Cuban water .3. “Third—That the President of the United States be, and he hereby is, di— rected and empowered to use the entire land and naval forces of the United States and to call into the actual ser. vice of the United States the militia of the several States to such extent a may be necessary to carry these reso- lution into effect. “Fourth—That the United States hereby disclaims any disposition or in- tention to exercise sovereignty, juris- diction or control over said island, ex- cept for the pacifioatlon thereof; and asserts its determination when that is accomplished to leave the government and control of the lulu! to its people.” The Democrats applauded the read- ing of the first section declaring that the people of Cube. are and of a right ought to be free and hdopondent. and again when the recognition of the Cu- ban Republic we. reached there was handelmlng on ht file. but the Re- pubuoenl were Ills-t. It. ”chain‘s-ode: to on- the recognition clause. The actual form of the motion,” which was reduced to writing. was as’follows: "I move to concur‘ in the senate amendment to the, House joint resolu-: tie with an amendment striking out in the first paragraph the words ‘are and’ and also the words ‘and that the Gov- ernment of the United States hereby recognizes the republic of Cuba as. the true and lawful government of that isl- and' so that .the first paragraph of the Senate amendment will read as fol- lows: " ‘First, that the people of the island of Cuba of right ought to be free and independent! ” Mr. Bromwell then moved to concur in the entire Senate resolution. Mr. Dingley met this by moving the previous question. This shut off debate and a. vote was taken. Mr. Dingley’s motion was car— ried. Thirteen Republicans'voted against Mr. Dingley s motion, because they fa— vored iecognition of the present Cuban Republic. The vote announced by Speaker Reed 11 as yeas 178, nays 156. The scenes on the floor for the two hours were exceedingly lively and in-‘ tercsting. and for a. time it seemed al- most impossible to predict which would w.in After the vote was announced John- son of Indiana, wanted to speak again, but there were cries of “Regular 01‘- der.” Mr. Bailey arose and'asked if it was not the regular to allow Mr. John- son to speak. The Speaker quickly rc- sponded: "If the gentleman from Texas will listen he will soon learn something about parliamentary order.” This angered Mr. Bailey, and he 1" - turned: “1 want to make a perils-men , ary inquiry, and ask if it is in, 0rd,. frr the Speaker to thus answer an IT: Quiry of a, member made in a rcspor— in] manner.” The Speaker answered: in a respectful manner.” This intimation that Mr. Bailey 11:51 not made his inquiry properly, out, made the Texan more angry, and ‘: >-:1deavored a further wordy recountv: but the Speaker refused to hear hi:. and called for order. vAlthough 11’. ”No: if 112:..";:‘ ”Bailey shouted and tried to speak. ‘ was rapped down and took his, set-.1.

The Senate then at once sent the resolution back to the House. The resolutions were then sent back to the House, the Senate insisting on their passage intact. A motion to strike out the amend— ment was defeated by the House by a vote of 148 to 172. The House then passed a motion call- ing for a. conference with the Senate. This apparently meant a. deadlock un- less the Senate receded from its posi- tion regarding a. conference. TROOPS MOVING SOUTH. All Forts in the Department of the East Will Send Their Men.
