J.SV- - - positions A large number of the Democratic senators refused to express themselves at all, as did several Republicans, on tba ground that as they could not speak in complimentary terms they would say nothing at alL In the house the same feeling existed. The most significant utterance on the subject of the message was that of (Senator Foraker, a member of tbe committee on foreign relation. He said: I have no patience with the message Ha refused to go and yon can say so. into details. Senator Mills (Dem.), of the same Without referring committee, ssfd: to the message specifically, you can say that I am for the Independence of Cuba, and for war on aocount of the Maine. Senator Teller declined to talk of the message specifically, but said he had intended to introduce a resolution directing the president to end the war in Cuba even if he had to: use the military and naval forces of the government to accomplish this end. Senstor Tillman thought it was illogical and not adequate to accomplish what the president wants to do. Senator Pettigrew said: It is the weakest yet. It sums up the situation by saying that we must recognize neither belligerency nor Independence, but intervene to stop the war. Spain haa already accomplished this result by granting a cessation of hostilities, thus leaving nothing for ua to' do, bnt to continue to make appropriations to feed the Cuban people. , Senator Chandler's viewbf ths message are as follows: 1. A graphic and powerful description of the horrible condition of affairs in Cuba. "2. Ah assertion that the Independence of the revolutionists shall not be recognized until it has achieved its own independence beyond the possibility of Overthrow. 3. An argument against the recognition of th Cuban republic. 4. As to the intervention in ths interest of humanity that i well enough and also on account of the injury to dommerce and peril to our citizens, and to generally nnoomfort-abl- e conditions all around. 5. Illustrative of these uncomfortable conditions is the destruction of the Maine; it helps make the existing situation intolerable; but Spain proposes an arbitration, to which proposition the president has no reply. 6. On the whole, as the war goes on and Spain cannot end it, mediation or intervention must take place. President Cleveland said Intervention would finally be necessary. The enforcement of pacification of Cuba must coma Tbe war must stop. Therefore, the preideot should Be authorized to terminate hostilities, secure peace and establish a stable government, and to use the military and naval forces of the United States to accomplish these results; and food supplies should also be furnished by the United States.

Senator Hawley, chairman of the committee on military affairs, pronounced it an able paper, and said that be thought it would meet with general approval. Senator Elkins, conservative Reonb-licasaid: It states the ease ad mirably, and it will be sustained by the people and by oongrCss. Senator AUiaoa. chairman of the committee on appropriations, would only say: It is a very good message. .Senator Hale, conservative Republican and chairman of on naval affairs, went further in his The mes recommendation, saying: sage is admirable in all respects, and especially so in that it points out the way whereby Cuba can get a good government and be free, and withont internationbringing us al complications. n, Into-awkwar-d PRESS COMMENT.

A visit of the forembassadors to Senor Gullon, minister of foreign affairs, resulted in a meeting (ft ths cabinet, at which a decision was reached to grant an armistice to the insurgents in Cuba. United States Minister Woodford has been officially informed that the Spanish government has telegraphed to the pope that in view of his urgent request, fortified by a visit from the representatives in Madrid of the great powers, they (the Spanith government) have telegraphed to General Blanco in Cuba, instructing him to issue an armistice proclamation, the duration of the armistice to be as he decides Gen.
