SPAIN HELD RESPONSIBLE
The fennte Foreign Relations Committee
Is Ready to Report,
A despatch from Washington, D.C. says:
The full Senate Committee on Foreign Re-
jations has practically agreed to report the
Foraker resolution of independence for Cuba
and armed intervention. An amendment of
two lines has been added. It holds the
Spanish government responsible for the de.
struction of the Maine and the slaughter of
266 American officers and sailors, and cites
this ss a eanuse for American resentment, if
pot for war,
The report which will accompany the res.
olutions will bs unanimous, It Is vigorous
in tone, and dwells particulary on the Maine
incident, It is likely thst the President will
be made acquainted with its contents before
it is presented in the Senate,
Some of the members of the committes
are disposed to regard as positive the proof
of Spanien duplicity ia the Maine affair and
to resent it as an set of war, and there fa
good reason for believing that there bas
Leen mare or less discussion In the commit-
tee of the advisability of a declaration of
war on account of the explosion, rather
than » reeoguoition of Cuban independence
merely. At any rate the Maine incident
will be thoroughly exploited and made the
basis of mueh that may be said, The com.
mittee feel this the safe course in view of
fpain's recent action concerning the recon
eentrados.

when, with excitement at highest,
like an electric flash, the word passed that
there would be no message,
[ts suddenness stunned the public, which
lieard the news in distorted form and amazed
veteran members of Congress,
Ultimately it became known that
wculd there be no message, but no
this week, and that It was at least a possibii-
ity the message written and approved might
never go to Congress at all.
The first reason for the delay was that the
administraticn received advices [from Geos
eral Lee, at Havana, indieating that all
Americans could pot be removed from the
island immediately and wouid be in grave
peril if the message preceded their depar-
ture. The second reason was the hope of a
peaceful settlement, owing to encouraging
advices from Madrid,
Spain May Make Concessions.
This important news was that the Spanish
government bad decided to reopen the case,
closed so far as this government was con-
corned, by the refusal of pala to make sat-
isfactory response to the representations
made by the United States [ast week, and,
in order to avert impending war, had de
elded to make concessions beretolore re
fused,
What will be the final suteome, it is too
early to say, but the aspect of affairs is more
pacific and sufficient to renew the hops of
the President in a solution of the Caban
question satisfactory to the American people
snd achieved without bloodshed. The de-
talls remain to be worked out, but itis ex-
pected that between now aud Monday a
clearer light will be thrown on the future by
action at Madrid, of which one important
feature at Jeast is the doclaration of an
armistice by the Queen Regent of Spain,
This armistice, it is expected, will lead to
the ultimate independence of Cuba from
Spanish rule, but by what intermediate steps
perhaps even the governing powers do not
at this time know, Much, it Is supposed,
will depend upon the Cuban insurgents and
the people of the United States and Spain,
