AN ALL NIGHT’S SESSION Long Conferences That Lastcd Over Mid- night to Settle the Status of the Cuban Out “and People—Recognition Left Are" Remain. Washington, April 19.-—Congress has declared for armed intervention against Spain. The President is directed to 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 Islanfi of Cuba are, and of right ought «to be. free and indepen- dent.” The House conferces finally yielded to the Senate, and the committee de— cided on a report for the original For- elign 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 hoiii‘ adopting the resolution by a vote of 176 yeas to 95 hays. The President retired before mid- night, and the l-Vhite Hobse was de— serted except for the Executive clerk, Mr. Montgomery, who received the bul- letin 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 officev'as closed for the night. The recognition of the independence of the Cuban Republic is deferred by the omission of the Turpie amendment, bra-t it stands inthe 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 majorities. Three times the Senate stood firmly by its purpose. A deadlock seemed imminent, and was only averted at the last moment by the concession of 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 question for him to consider. The blow will be struck if it is necessary to strike lit in order to induce Spain to quit Cuba. lVith 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. Senate 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 as thus amended was, 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 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 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 the United States to demand, and the Gov- ernment‘ of the United States does hereby demand, that the Govornment of Spainat once relinquish its author- ity 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 entire land and naval forces of the United States and to call into theactual ser— vice of the United States the militia of the several States to such extent as 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 ‘pacification thereof ; and asserts its determination when that is accomplished to leave the government and control of the island to its people.” ‘ The Democrats applauded the read- ing of the first section declaring that the people of Cuba. are and of a right ought to be free and independent. and again when the recognition of the Cu- ban Republic wu'reached there’ was handcldfiplng' on that side, but the Re- publicans were silent. Hr. Dingley mad. the motion to con- it now stands demand the withdrawal of the Spanish , cur, with an amendment striking out | the recognition clause, ‘ l The actual form of the motion, which i was reduced to writing. was as follows i “I move . to, concur in the Senate E amendment to the House joint resolu- l tio with an amendment striking out in i the first paragraph the words ‘are andI ‘ and also the words ‘and that the Gov- ernment of the United States hereby ‘ true and lawful government of that isl- ! and’ so that the first paragraph of the 'Senate amendmeht will read as fol- : lows: “ ‘First, that the people of the island of Cuba of right ought to be free and independent.’ ” Mr. Bromweli 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. Mir. Dingley’s motion was car- , ried. - i Thirteen Republicans Voted against Mr. Dingley’s motion, because they fa- vored recognition of the present Cuban , Republic. | The vote announced by Speaker Reed was yeas 178, nays 156. The scenes on the floor for the two hours were exceedingly lively and in- teresting. and for a time it seemed a1- ! most impossible to predict which would 4 wm. After the vote was announced, John- son, of Indiana, wanted to speak again, but there were cries of “Regular or- , der.” Mr. Bailey arose and asked if it , was not the regular to allow Mr. J ohn- ? son to- speak. The Speaker quickly re- sponded: , . “If the gentleman from Texas will vlisten he will soon learn something ‘abont parliamentary order." i This angered Mr. Bailey, and he re- torted: “I want to make a parllanienh ary inquiry, and ask if it is in order for the Speaker to thus answer an in- 5 qulry of a member made in a respect.- ful manner.” The Speaker answered: “Not if made 'in a respectful manner.” This intimation that Mr. Bailey had not made his inquiry properly, only made the Texan more angry, and he endeavored a further Wordy recountcr, recognizes the republic of Cuba as the’ but the Speaker refused to hear him,‘ and called for order. Although Mr. Bailey shouted and tried to speak, he was rapped down and took his seat. Mr. Sherman, of New York, then read the apology of Representatives Brumm and Bartlett for their part in the scene 3 in theHouse last week, when the lie l was passed. The House then took up a. bill to authorize a. railroad in the In- dian Territory. SENATE REFUSES TO CONCUR. The House Resolutions Turned Dowu by a Vote of 3-2 to 46. Washington, April 19.——When the Cu- ban resolutions, as= amended by the House were received in the Senate, Mr. Chandler suggested the absence of a quorum. Seventy-five Senators an- swered to their names. On motion of Mr. Davis the Cuban resolution was laid before the Senate. Mr. Davis addressed the Senate, de- tailing the effect of the action of the House. He urged the Senate to agree to the House action and avoid delay. He moved concurrence. Mr. Davis said many lives had passed away while Congress was debating the question and that the Maine disaster still remained unavenged. He thought there should be no further delay. Mr. Davis thought the independence of Cuba would quickly folllow inter- vention. In order to secure hasty ac- tion, Mr. Davis moved concurrence in the House action. Mr. Stewart opposed concurrence. He yielded the floor for a vote on the sug— gestion of Mr. Teller. Yeas and Nays were ordered. ‘ The vote was taken on the Davis mo— tion to concur in the House amend— ment. The motion was defeated and the Senate refused to concur. The vote was 32 yeas to 48 nays. Ten Republicans voted no. 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 reoeded from its posi- tion regarding a conference.
