The Senate Has Decided to
Reach a Vote To-Day Be

Will Probably Not Be Ac

O'clock To-Night Many
Amendments to Be Sub
mitted Before Final Action.
Washikoton, Apiil 10,
Whether it will be pence or war,
will bo determined before the Senate
adjourns to-day, probably not before
nine o'clouli this evening. Interven
tion wljl til (is bo postponed until
noxt week.
It was hoped that a vote would be
reaehed last night. But the end is
in sight, and probably on Monday
Spain will know dellnitely what treat
ment she may expect at the hands of
Uncle Sam. The Senate last night
agreed, in open session, to take a ilnnl
vote upon the pending resolutions
buforo adjournment to-day.
The main resolution before the
Senate is that reported from the
Foreign Allairs Committee, provid
ing for intervention and tho prompt
withdrawal of Spanish troops from
Cuba. Ueforo this is disposed of
votes will bo had upon tho Turpie
nmendment providing for the recog
nition of tho present Cuban govor
ment, and upon tho resolution passed
by the House and other propositions
that will be otfored as amendments
or substitutes.
A. poll of the Somite this morning
shows that tho Foreign committee's
resolution, amended by the provision
for the recognition of tho Cuban in
dependence, will undoubtly pass by a
small majority.
J. B. FOIUKEB.
This is the proposition of Senator
Foraker, who has worked energeti
cally for Cuban indepoudeueo on that
line.
If the Senate does not adopt tho
House resolution, the whole question
will then go to a conference com
mittee, where tho President's sup
porters hope to pass a compromise
measure that will not recognize the
present Cuban insurgents, but which
will bo acceptable to both branches
of Congress.
As tho Uuubo will probably have
adjourned before a vote is readied in
the Senate to-day, a conference com
mittee cannot bo appointed until
Monday, unless a Sunday session is
held, and therefore a few more days
must elapso before the end of nego
tiation and legislation will come and
peace give way to war.
The country awaits the result with
abated breath.
WASHINGTON NEWS!
Washington, April 111.
Tho Senate resumed its session this morn
ing promptly at 10 o'clock, with tho galleries
packed. Many members of tho llouso were
noticed on tho lloor in close consultation with
thelleadcrs of tho Senate. At this writliiE it
looks as if tho debate over Cuba will leng
then itself out Into the nifiht. Tho
speakers commanded tho strict attention of
their colleagues and thoso who crowded the
Ballerics, but it is safe to say that not n vote
has been changed by all this oratory.
It was stilted to-day that Senators Quay
and Penrose, of l'enusylvauia, had decided
to voto for tho Foraker resolution roconiz
iug tho indBpendcnco of Cuba. Thoro is not
much doubt but that it will pass tho Senate.
In the neighborhood of twenty Senators are
down for speeches before tho Senato adjourns
to-night. Messrs. Piatt, of Connecticut;
1'ryo, Cannon, Pcttlgrew and Burrows have
each dollvercd speoches, and they wero able
arguments for and against the recognition of
tho insurgents.
NO INTERVENTION.

London, April 10. Tho story circulated
yestciday of a proposed naval demonstration
of tho Powers in tho interests of Spain is
repudiated by Great Britain. All of tho
other powers reject tho idea. It is stilted,
howovor, that Italy has proposed that
Iiussia, as a disinterested nation, should
endeavor to induce tho United States to
accept a middle course.
A Madrid despatch received to-day states
that tho Spanish not about to bo addressed
to tho powers will declare that tho whole
troublo with tho United States originated
through tho clamor of tho sugar manufac
turers; that despito tho complaints of Spain
no fuwer than 70 filibustering expeditions
from America havo landed in Cuba ; that
United States Consuls hare constituted them
selves nothing less than rebel agents; that
when autonomy was promised to the Island,
an American squadron was sent to Cuban
wateis, encouraging tho insurgonts to hold
out. The note will conclude, "that having
oxhausted every means for peace, Spain has
been compelled to fight for hor rights and
her honor,"

AUGMENTING THE NAVY.
And tlio Chilean Ci-uNar O'lIIuclU")
.Mu.v lie Added to tlio Fleets.
Washington, April 10. Several im
portant and dec Isive steps In the work
of war preparations were taken by the
navy department yesterday. It was
decided to assign the naval reserves
of New York, New Jersey, Massachu
setts, Maryland and Michigan to the
five auxiliary cruisers, hereafter to be
known as patrol boats. These ships are
the Prattle, the Dixie, the Yankee, the
Yosemlte and either the Venezuela or
Yorktown, the latter of which was pur
chased yesterday. The question of the
American line steamers was also
wound up with the decision to charter
all four of them tho St. Louis, the St.
Paul, the Paris and the New York.
The two first mentioned had already
been acquired by the department,
though the form of acquisition was
tentative, the department being unde
cided whether It would purchase these
two only or.charter all four..
THE O'HTOOINS.
witn tno announcement that these
magnificent ships had len added to
the auxiliary' ih'et came the statement
that the department also had pur
chased the Yorktown, of the Old Do
minion line, and the Yumurl, of the
"Ward line. AVith these additions the
lleet of converted vessels now Includes
the pick of the ocean liners and coast
ing steamers running under the Ameri
can ting. As In all Instances, the prices
paid are withheld by the department.
But of greater moment than any of
those developments was the reopening
of negotiations for the purchase of two
warships and several torpedo boats
from Chile and Argentine. One of the
vessels is the Chilean cruiser O'lllg
glns, Just completed at an English
yard, and regarded as one of the inoBt
formidable of her class alloat. These
negotiations are being conducted
thiuugh .Mr. Charles It. Flint, of New
York, who has large commercial In
terests in both countries. Mr. Flint
was at the navy department yesterday
and held extended conferences with the
secretary and other officials.
While Mr. Flint wouid not say how
far tho negotiations had progressed, ho
Intimated that the Internal affairs of
Chile and Argentine were assuming
such satisfactory shape as to warrant
tho presumption that they wero not
averse to parting with a portion of their
navies. Neither country was inclined
to weaken itself alune, and the propo
sition was pending that each shall dis
pense with an equal amount of ships.
It has taken definite shape In the sug
gestion that Chile sell the O'lIlgRlns
and one torpedo boat, while Argentine
shall dispose of either the Garibaldi or
the San Martin, both fine cruisers, and
two torpedo boats. Should the nations
decide to sell It Is -reasonably cortaln
that they will be added to the United
States navy.
