Washington, 14. The membors of
the foreign relatloMtommittee are ret' cent as
to what has transpired in committee -lately.
It Is understood, liowever, that very Im
portant iuformsttoo, relative to Cuban aflairs
furnished tile committee by the state depart
ment has been under consideration and that
a report thereof will tie made to the Semite
at an early day.
It is acknowledged by members of the
committee that the Information furnished by
the state department is of much importance
and, in some respect, startling nature,
whioli may lead to very serious results.
The President's massage will not bo sent to
Congress until Monday and If one goe later
It will bo entirely pacific In tono.
Senator Cnllom, of the foreign relations
committee, says he does not understand that
any action will he recommended in the Cuban
situation, by tho Executive, at present, ex
cept for rollef of Americans who aro suffering
in Cuba.
Washington, Mny' 14. There was a
BUdden and violent outbreak of Cuban
sentiment yesterday at the Capitol, and
during the early hours the drift of
opinion was strongly towards speedy
and radical action by both congress
and the executive, but later there was
somewhat of a reaction upon Its be
coming known that the president,
while keenly alive to the situation and
anxious to learn everything possible
that could guide his conduct of our
Puban and Spanish relations, felt that
further Information was necessary,
ftPd that; for the Immediate present the
question was not one of recognition,
of the belligerency or Independence of
the Cuban Insurgents, but of relief for
the American citizens destitute and
helpless in tho towns of the queen of
the Antilles. The senate foreign rela
tions committee, It should be stated,
while agreeing with the necessity for
relief of tho suffering Americans, is
favorable to - more radical measures,
pnd a number of Its members are earn
estly desirous pf Instant action by the
executive in aid of the Insurgents, but
have not succeeded In converting tho
administration to their views that
present action Is appropriate and Im
perative. .
The event of the day was the report
to their colleagues by the sub-committee
of the foreign relations commit
tee, which on Wednesday examined the
state department Cuban reports. This
statement, though not given to the
public, was so far disclosed in char
acter as to give rise to a good deal
of excited comment among senators
and members. The report, based upon
facts presented by the United States
consuls In Cuba, It is said, brings out
Ifi strong relief ttie destitution which
exists not only arriorjg the Cubans, Imf
ampnjj the Americans and paciftpos
now on the Island, who were driven
from their farms and Into the towns
by Weyler's orders, and thereby pre
vented from supporting themselves.
For several days past the subject
matter of this report has been under
discussion quietly among a few of the
friends of Cuba In congress, and they
have lost no opportunity of Impressing
upon the president their convictions
that It Is his duty as the chief execu
tive to delay no longer In taking ac
tivp steps to terminate the present con
dition of affairs In Cuba,
These representations, however, have
not been sufficient to Induce hasty ac
tion. The president is moving stead
ily, and with all speed that safety and
gopnd Judgment warrant In the collec
tion of facts touching tho conditions
that exist upon the island today. To
this end Mr. Calhoun Is now In Cuba,
Officially on another mission, but also
charged with tile observation of the
conditions that prevail. When he has
reported to the president, and the lat
ter has gathered what he regards as a
sufficient store of Information, base
on facts that cannot be questioned, he
will be ready either to take himself or
to suggest to congress such action as
these facts warrant. Meanwhile he
has under earnest consideration the
best means of affording relief to Amer
icans suffering as a result of the condi
tions on the island.
Yesterday the president saw by ap
pointment Mr. Edwin T, Atkyns, of
Boston, who is largely interested in
Cuban sugar plantations. Mr. Atkyns
was In "Washington on personal busi
ness which brought him In contaot
with Seoretary Long, an old friend. To
further Mr. Atkyn' business the seo
retary took him to the White House
and presented htm to the president.
The latter, learning that Mr. Atkyns
had Just returned from Cuba, began
to chat with his visitor as to the state
of affairs as they revealed themselves
to a business man, and Mr. Atkyns
gave Wm a faithful picture of the eco
nomic condition that prevailed in Ha
vana and In other portions of the lsl.
and when he left. His story was so In
terestlng that the president summoned
Judge Day, assistant secretary of state,
to hear It. Mr. Atkyns had very little
to say about the military situation In
Cuba, and what he did utter In that
connection did not Indicate any leaning
on his part toward either the Spanish
or the Insurgent side.
At the Spanish, legation the news of
the developments at the Capitol was
received with composure. Of course,
the action of the committee could not
be openly discussed without violation
of the strict etiquette which governs
the diplomatic body In Its relations to
congress, but It was suggested that the
fact that the entire attention of the
senate for months to come would be
engrossed by the tariff bill might have
determined the friends of the Cubans
to endeavor to secure some sort of ac
tion by congress before the tariff de
bate begins. ,w
It is not denied at .the legation that
suffering rxists in (.-una, inn f-n aut
ferinr. It ns sold. Is nlmnpt always
tnrldent to wai. It Ik (intended that
the Spnnlph government has li.ine all
that It cnuM with the means at hand
to alleviate this distress. It was point
ed out that Snnln has granted per
mission to the Hod Cross, through
Miss Barton, to extend Its good offices
to the destitute In Cuba, and more
over will not place any obstacles In the
way of any proper charity In the
United States which has the same end
In view. All that Is asked Is that the
supplies "contributed for the relief of
the destitute are not used to main
tain the Cuban Insurrectionary forces
In their resistance to the Spanish gov
ernment. Senator (latllnger has introduced a
Joint resolution In the senate appro
priating r.i,0Ml for the relief of suffer
