GOJiGRESS IS PREPARING THE UliTIJWATUlW It Is Probable That Spain Will Be Given a Limit of Twenty Four Hours to Comply With It The Navy May Move Within a Week. WnshliiRton, April 19. Aftor one ot the hardest foufiht battles between the two holiness known In ninny yearn con IjresH at uii early hour this mortiins enme to an agreement upon the most momentous question It has det'.lt with In a third of a century. The Cuban lesolutlon wns passed nnd was sent to the ptesldent this morning. Its pro visions mean the expulsion of Spain from the Island of Cuba by the armed forces of the United States. There Were many roll calls In both houses, and rach body held tenaciously for Its own resolution. The conference had great difficulty In agreeing. The first conference showed a determination on the part of the house not to yield a sin gle point, nnd It was only after long consultations with the house leaders that they, agreed to allow the little words "ure nnd" In the first section of the senate resolution, which declares that the people of Cuba are and of right ought to be free and Independent. The resolution as finally adopted Is that re ported from the senate committee on foreign relations, with the addition of the fourth section, known as the Teller amendment, disclaiming any intention on the part of the United States to ac quire. Cuba.. The resolutions as ucreed to are as follows: Joint resolutions for tho rocoenltlon oftllo liidoponricucn or tho pooplo of Culm, ileum ml Inir Hint thosrovor'timont nrSpnln rel InqiilHh Its authority ami covnriiinont III the Island or Culm nnd withdraw Its land ;iud imvul forces from Culm and Cuhnu waters nnd dl reetlnir tho president of tho United States to use tho lima nnd nnvnl forces or the -United Stntos to carry theso resolutions Into unVut. Wlierens, Tho nlihorront conditions which hnvo existed for more than three yenrs In tho Island of Culm, ho near our own hordors, have shocked tho moral sense or tho peoplo or tho Unltoit States, liavo bi'on iidlsrjrnoo to Christian el vlltiitlou, otilinlimt Inir as they have In the destruction of a United States lmttlKstilp with 50(1 of Its oilleors, action of oonirross was In vited; tlierd'oro, resolved, l'Mrst, Tlint the people ot- tho Island or Culm nro, ami or rlulit oii(rht to bo, free nod Independent. Second, Tlint It Is tho duty of tho United States to domuaii, nnd tho iiov eminent or the United Stntos doos hereby demand, that the irnvorninout of Spain at once relinquish Its author ity and irovernnien t In tho Island of Cuba and withdraw Its laud and naval forces from Culm and Cuban waters. Third, That tho president; or tho United States bo and ho hereby Is di rected and empowered to use tho en tire land nnd nnvnl forces oftho United States, nnd In call Into the actual ser vleo ot tho United Stntos tho inllltln or the Boveral states to such extent us may bo noeossary to carry these resolutions Into otleot. Fourth, That tho United Statos here by disclaim any disposition or Inten tion to o.torolso Hoveroliriit,v,.1urlsd!o tlon or control over said Island, ex cept for pacllleatloii thereor, and as serts Its determination when that Is accomplished to leave tho uovern meut and control of tho Island to Its people. Tho Senate agreed to tho coufereuco repoit by a voto of 42 to 23. The adoption of tho conference re port brought to a close one of the moat Interesting and tumultuous sessions of the senate held in years. Such scenes of confusion and excitement have rare ly been witnessed In the ordinarily staid and dignified body as character ised its proceedings from yesterday noon until nearly 2 o'clock this morn .ng. Interest In nil other questions was 4warfed into insignificance by the one overwhelming question of war war, which all now regard to be absolutely Inevitable. Efforts were made to trans act the regular business of the senate, but It was with utmost Indifference that senators performed their work. Among those who remained on the floor while the Bundry civil bill was under consid eration the confusion waa so great that business could scarcely proceed. Not withstanding tho vice president's ear nest and constant effort to preserve order, the members gathered In groups about the chambber excitedly discuss ing the various phases of the question of the hour. A feeling of bitterness grew up be tween the senate and house during the late afternoon and evening that at one time seemed likely to delay action. But cooler counsels prevailed, and the de termination of the momentous question was Dually reached. Those who were fighting for recognition of the Island re publlo early decided that the senate should not take the Initiative In re questing a conference between tho two houses. They further resolved that when the senate conferrees were finally ap pointed at least two of them should rep resent tho majority sentiment of tho body. The radical advocates of Inde pendence slowly, but none, tho less surely. lost ground, being swept back by the powerful and compact minority opposed to them. They yielded only after one of the bitterest contests In the history ot the senate. They capitulated, but did not surrender. The scene In the senate, even up to the minute of adjournment, was one ot woiitiprtui lieatrty and lmpresslve ness. Hundred of brilliantly attired women and men In evening dress filled the galleries. On the lloor were the makers of the country's history await ing the verdict from the conference cummltlee. When finally It cume there wns a hush in the Brent chamber, which a few seconds before had been thrilling with animation. When the vet diet hnd been returned nnd accept ed by the smnte the great audience dispersed dispersed quietly, almost solemnly. All realized that the ver dict meant war, and the action taken was too momentous to inspire any thing loss than awe. The house, after one of the hardest and most desperate fights In Its hls- i tory, succeeded In forcing the senate to yteia tne main contention in uie war resolutions the independence of the existing government in Cuba. With that exception the house accepted the resolutions. The republicans who Joined with Democrats In an attempt to concur In the senate amendments entire rallied 14 votes at one time, and on every vote theienfter the vote dwindled. When the final voto was taken, shortly before S o'clock this morning, 310 votes were cast for the declaration upon which we are to go to war. if war It is to be. Six votes only were cast against It. Thev Included five Republlc'unB nnd one Democrat, as follows, lloutslle of Maine, Drewer of Alabama, Gardner of New Jersey, John son of Indiana, I.oud of California and McCall of Massachusetts. IJrewer Is the only Democrat voting ugalnst the resolutions. ' It was sia'ed at tile navy Department yesterday that the effoits to secure the ClUlean battleship O'HIggffis have been practlcuWy abandoned, and that there Is no linger any prospects that the United States desltes or will be able to secure any more ships, cither belong ing to foreign nations or being built In foreign shipyards. Assistant Secretary Roosevelt said that It was more than probable that the department here after would confine Its efforts In this direction to the acquirement of yachts, tugs and smnll craft generally for the purposes of the auxiliary navy. Vessels recently purchased for the navy have been reqhristened. The Yumlrl was named the Badger, the Yorktown was called the Resolute and the New York and Paris were named respectively the Harvard and the Yale. The St. Paul and St. Louis remain un changed. While there was some doubt as to the legality of changing the names of the two chartered ships, this yielded to the necessity of preventing a duplication of the names of the llag 1 ship in the North Atlantic squadron.
