Congress and the cabinet divided attention yesterday In the Spanish situation. In congress the feeling which begnp to tnke form after the president's conservative and pacific message on the Maine report was submitted on Monday found ex pression yesteray In resolutions propos ing a declaration of war, recognition of the Independence of Cuba, armed Inter vention and other decisive and warlike steps against Spain, and In conferences of Republicans having for their object the overruling of the speaker If neces sary to get prompt action. 13oth on the floor, In the cloak rooms, In the lobbies nnd In the corridors therewas little else discussed than the Cuban situation and the Mnlne disaster. Every group of sen utors in the cloak room talked of Cuba. Constant and continual references were held, nnd nil recognized the seriousness of the situation. Within five minutes after the Benato convened Mr. Allen, of Nebraska, intro duced a resolution recognizing the In dependence of the Cuban republic. This was followed by a resolution from Mr. Itawllngs, of Utah, declaring war against the kingdom of Spain, Mr. For nker, of Ohio, then Introduced a resolu tion declarlmr for such intervention In the Cuban war as would bring r.Uout the Independence of the Cubans. Fol lowing this came a resolution by Mr. Frye, of Maine, demanding that Cuba be made free. The resolutions followed ono another so rapidly as to stun the auditors, both senators and spectators. The galleries were in u commotion nnd tho people were prepared for anything. This was the condition when vice President Hobart recognized Mr. Ma son, of Illinois, for his announced speech on the president's messagetransmlttlng the report of the Maine court of Inquiry. Mr. Mason read his speech from manu script, but It was delivered with all -the vigor nnd flro of which he Is capable. The Intensity of the feeling of those In the galleries was evidenced by tho storm of applause which was elicited by Ms declaration that ho was for war. On the house Bide It was apparent that the Republican majority could bo no longer controlled by what Is known as the conservative clement led by the speaker. Groups of members In a state of excitement were to bo seen on every hand. In each cloak room there were members listening eagerly while por tions of the Maine testimony were read. Members o'. Ine foreign affairs commit tee groQped together and discussed P'-Iis and possible future proceedings It was generally acknowledged that a serious condition had arisen; that a cri sis was near at hand. It was the opin ion of some of the conservative mem bers that In a day or two the feeling would subside and members would not be so agitated. Much depends upon the next few days. That congress will not long remain inactive If some decVled action Is not taken by the ndmlnls.a tton is certain. It is also true that the talk of an armistice caused a great deal of III feeling. The house yesterday pro ceeded to business without outbreak or without dramatic Incident, but no such quiet can be promised during the consideration of the naval approprla consideration of the naval bill. The revolt In the house against fur ther delay of action on the Cuban Is sue culminated yesterday in a con ference of Ilepublican members whose Ideas are In accordance with a posi tive early course. About DO representa tives attended, representing all sec tions. Representative Hopkins, of Illinois, a memberof the ways and means committee, presided. Representative Joy, of Missouri, was secretary. The meeting was called to take steps to secure immediate intervention In some form and the recognition of Cuban In dependence. It was the first definite step following discussions In the cloak rooms and lobbies since the president's message was submitted by many mem bers who favor immediate and aggress lve action. Up to yesterday nfternoon the sentiment was a half concealed but strong feeling against voting money for Cuban relief unless accompanied by action to stop the war. The meeting was called with a view of accomplishing the unqualified re moval of Spanish troops from Cuba nnd the prompt armed intervention In the affairs of that Island. It was de cided to call a meting Immediately after adjournment. Tho word was quickly passed around, but many who are enthusiastically In favor of Inter vention fulled of notification, though the number present would be sufficient ly large, by consolidation Willi the Democratic forces, to carry out a pro gram. After vigorous speeches de nunciatory of Spain It was decided to defer action until 5 o'clock this after noon. The present program is to pro sent to Speaker Reed evidence that a majority follows this step, and the Cu ban sympathizers believe that, only convinced of the number enlisted In Its support, ho will yield to them. It is also proposed to communicate their sentiment to President McKlnley. Thu step Is expected to bear fruit In Im portant action In the house tomorrow. The day closed with n pi aspect that the committees to which were referred the Maine correspondence will uct soon, possibly beforf the end of the week. It Hits the Spot That's Right. What?
