A DEADLOCK IS EXPECTED. Tae President May Veto The Inde- pendence Resolution. |
[Seecran to THe Examiner.} Wasuincrox, April 18,—On Saturday ‘
the Senate adopted the
f Poreig
minority report of no Affairs, referred to as Turpie ie lead by a vote of 51 Z. The amendn en’, is as follows: ag i ot the
the Comumiiite sament to 3 fhe undersigned, membera Coram ittee reign R-lations, cordially vir in the report made upon the Cuban react favor the immediate recce nition of Republic of Cuba, as rganized in that island, as a free inde- pendent and sovereign power smong the nations of the world.”
This resolution was signed by Senators | Curpie, Mills, Daniel and Foraker. The latter is a vindictive opponent of Presi- dent McKinley.*All that wae affirmed in the majority report is concurred io, and the recogunion of Cuban insurgent govern- ment is added. It is noticeable that while the mwjority report directs the President to intervene to establish a stable govern- ment ia Guba aod whilethe President in his message to Congresses reported that the Insurgent Government was not suffi
or I con oag, but “we
the
cientiy or,anized = to recognize it, ‘he Turpie resolution speake of the insurgent government as an
organized body and favors the recognition of it as such.
A deadlock may be caused by the action of the Senate, therefore, asthe recogoi- tion of the Cuban Republic is not favored by the President and not likely to be adopted by a house which has already re- jected it by @ resolution to that effect. It is repowted that a conference will take place to endeavor to bring about concurs rence beiweeu the two branches of Con~ gress. Both houses will resume this (Mords ) morsing at ten o’clock.
The r resident is credited with saying that the recognition of the Cuban republic will alienate Kogland’s sympatby and it is intimated that be will veto the Senate’s resolution if it received the concurrence of the other house.

It was not until after a pause in the attack and a ju’! in the firing that we discovered the poor fellow’s plight.

LEE’S TESTIMONY.
| Had no Reason to Suppose that Hav- ana Harbor was Mined Before the Maine was Blown Up.
a
Wasuiyeron, April 15.—The testimony taken before the senate committee on for- eign relations in connection with the inves- tigation into the relat‘ous between the United States and Cuba was made public yesterday. It constitutes a book of about 560 pages and includes not only the teati- mony taken since the disaeter of the Maine but also much that was taken before, and running back for a year or so,
The statement which contains the great- est current interest is that made by Consu]~General Lee on the 12th inst. In this statement Gen, Lee said that he was informed that the Spaniards had placed two rows of torpedoes just at the mouth of the Havana Harbor by Morrow Castle within the past two monthe, or subsequent to the Muine disaster@an d the switch board Was ip @ roour in the castle.
He ea‘d, however, that he had no infor~ mation of the placing of any torpedoes be- fore the Maine was destroped, and none in regard to the purchase abroad by the Span- ish #othorities.
Have you any reason to suppose that the harbor was mined at al! before the blowing up of the Maine?” asked Senator Frye.
“No sir, | bave so reason to suepect anything of the sort up totbat time.” He then weat on to say that Gen. Weyler’s letter toSantos Cuzman had led him to believe that mives migth bave been placed
here previous to the Maine incident, and 1¢ Said that this supposition was strength» wed by a telegram from General Weyler, éf which he had cognizance. The telegram {which he referred was addressed Eva (wal, anoted Spanish woman, avd au amirer of Weyler and to Senor Guzman ad it read as follows: “Grave circumstan« Qe canse me to ask you to destrov the last If er of Feburay, 18th.

The concert held in the Court House here on Easter Mondsy night in aid of the pew Town Hall, deserves more than a passing notice. The ladies uad:r whose efficient and en- ergetic direction the afiair was conducted, as well as the performers themselves, are entitled to a liberal measure of praise for the success of their undertaking. The aitepdance wae large, considering the bad state of the roade, and the performance of such a vature as to leave little room for adverse criticiam. The stage was artisiically fitted up and presented a tine appearance, The entertainment was opened with a chorus by a number of the young ladies of Georgetown, and their singing met with ruch a reception from the audience as auyured well for the selections that were to follow. Next came a recitation by Miss Amanda Macdonald, a piano solo by Miss Annie McDonald, the accompanist for the evening, and a duet by Mrs Hurdman and Mrs. (Dr.) Stewart. The Georgetown Amateur Dramatic Club next presented the comedy “A Fair Fight, or a Wife’a Allowance.”’ Miss Bessie Aiken, Miss Vale! Byrre and Mr. Temple McDonald, who had the leading parts, acquitted themselves well in the important role assigned to each aud were ably support- ed by Misses Sercabaugh, Marion Macdon-~ ald and Flor e Aitken,and Mesers Howard McDonald, Rogerson aud R. McDonald. After the drama camea vocal duet by Messrs Manual and Weatherbie, a piano duet (encored) by Misses Mabel Byrne aod Jean Aitken, a reading by Mr. Roger- son, another chorus by the young ladies, and a recitation by Mr. R.
