MUST WAIT UNTIL NEXT FRIDAY Victory for (lie Conservative Element on the iiiimittrc"Woylcr' Forces Aie Active-.l'iisliiiiK Their Ativan tns Over the Insurgent!) in the Field-Hotheads Want to Enlist. Washington, Dee. 111. The senate committee on foreign relations held a meeting today which was devoted to a consideration of the Cuban resolutions which have been referred to It. No action was taken, and the committee adjourned to meet on Friday. It was haid that the sentiment of the com mittee was favorable toward reporting one of tho resolutions, though Its form was not determined. The ponitpone-- I incut of action until Friday was for j the purpose of securing further Infer I ination from the state department as i to the situation In Cuba, especially as to the latest developments in t lie Isl and. There is also a desire on the part of members of the committee to ascer tain exactly what will be reported by Consul lieiierul I.ee. Many documents can be sent to the rominitte or to In dividual members of it, ,whleh the de partment might not wish to be uiado public nt this time. The failure of the committee to net today, and lis adjournment till Friday is tantamount to a victory for the con servative ien In congress. There is undoubtedly great sympathy for Cuba in the se-nut-. but It clues not go to thP extent of declaring war against S'laln. Senator Sherman is understood to be very much averse to any action that might precipitate a crisis on the Cuban question, and is bell 'ed t.i rtpresent tho views of the Incoming administra tion. This much Is certain, however, congress will defer nny aggressive ac tion until the whole evidence Is ob tained from both slihs as to Maeeo's death. The committee took no vote on any proposition, but all the resolutions be- ; for the committee wet" read and com mented upon. The simple declaration I for Independence contained In the Cam eron Joint resolution, which was intro duced immcdlat.ly after the close of last week's meeting, was the one most favorably commented on. .All the memheis of the commit tec complain of the absence of accurate data upon which to proceed, and some of them complain that there is a tendency to exaggeration on both sides of the Cu ban controversy, which renders the lirobb in of what to do all the more dluii ult to congress. ! The Cameron resolution as Intro duce d is as follows: Resolved. Hy the senate anil housu cf representative)) of the United States, In emigre! assembled, that the indepcii I ence of the republic -of Cut a tie, an I the same I he rUiy, acknowledged by the (lim ed Stales of America. Sec. 2. That the United Slabs should use it friendly o III cm with the govern ment of Spain to bring to a close) the ar between Spain and Cuba. Senators Sherman, Cameron nml Tur pic were appointed a suli-comniitlee to go to the stale department and confer with Secretary Olney for the purpose of seeing if he had any further infor mation which might be placed nt tho disposal of the committee, and also to ascertain more particularly what his views are upon the effect of any elell nite declaration by congress. The cUcstlon was raised in the committee that action by congress might produce results of great seriousness, and this hail the effect of postponing action to day. Another point raised was that ii would be in violation of (ill precedent for congress to recognize n republic or any id her form of a new govern ment, but several members declared that the time for Ignoring precedents had arrived. GOV. 1IOI.COMHE TALKS. Lincoln, Neb., Dec. It!. Governor Kolcombe today made public his lati tude concerning the Cubnn Insurgents and the alleged nssassinatiou of Gen eral Vac-co.
