Special to Journal.
Washington, March 29. The Senate
adopted Senator Morgan's resolution call
ing on the President to inform theSenate
bow many Americans were imprisoned
in (Jubau towns by Wyler's orders, and
liow much money appropriated by (Con
gress was necessary to feed Americans.
Senator Morgau, who is on tje Foreign
Relations Committee which has the
"Maine" report in charge, suys that the
only key to the situation is a declara
tion of war against Spain.
"I have made up my mind what to
do," said the Senator, "but I will do
nothing until a disposition Is made of the
lesoiution for intervention which Senator
Foraker introduced today."
Senator Mason of Illinois in a speach
declared for war. This caused great
applause in the galleries-which tho Vice
President could not stop.
Senator Mason says; "The responsibil
ity for the wreck of the Maine lies willi
Spain and she must pay the penally."
The Senator said lie was tired of the
dilatory tactics which the government
as displayed. He will oppo ? the ask
ing fivrun indemnity, annexation, or lire
purchase of Cuba, and will demand the
withdrawal of the Spanish IWg and the
absolute freedom of the Island.
Senator Fry introduced a resolution
direcliug the president to lake steps to
drive the Spanish from Cuba,
Senator Allen of Nebraska introduced
resolution recognizing the independ
ence of Cuba, and demanding that the
United States should intervene imme
diately. The resolution recites that
Spain has already lost Cuba and the
United States should put au end to the
war. Senator Allen asks that live hun
dred thousand dollars be appropriated
for the starving Cubans,
Senator Foraker offered a resolution
for the freedom of Cuba. He said that
later he would make a speech. He
thought that action was too long de
layed, that lie 'was dissuaded from pre
senting a similar resolution in December
by tho President's efforts to hare the plun
of autonomy tried.
The House has agreed to a bill to print
ix thousand copies of the President's
message, and the Maine report and the
testimony of the board of Inquiry.
All the resolutions offered were re
ferred to the committee on Foreign af
fairs.-
Senator Ilawlings says: ''I am in favor
of declaring war against Spain Immedi
ately she knows something about the
destruction of the Maine and should be
held accountable for iU Tho first blow
we should strike, however, should be in
the, shape of the recognition of Cuban
Independence."
The controversy with Spain over the
Cuban question Is thrown into utter con
fusion and uncertainty again by the dis
covery of the latest phase of the negotia-
l.ons between President McKinley and
the government at Madrid.
It has been thought many times that
the critical stage of the controveniy had
been reached, but today tho settlement
seems a remote as ever. Now Spain
holds out to the United Stales the proe
pect of an arrangement for an armistice
with Hie Cuban army and the proposition
it met with apparent favor by the Presi
dent. U may be accepted as a method of
setting question and arnnllut; war. Il is
at pru.tul tho plan under romdderittion.
Hlgsbee called at the Navy Department
today and reported tor duty. He said
that lie did not want any rest, but wan
ted a good ship an-l to be aslnel to the
Ivy West squadron.

. The Mangrove arrived at Key West

Madrid, March 29. (Special) Com
plete tranquility prevails here and in
the Provinces. Public opinion has qui
eted. The belief is that the difficulties
between Spain and the United States
will be arranged in a friendly manner
The newspapers place great weight upon
the conference between Minister Wood
ford and Premier Sagasta, this afternoon,
cxpressinz the belief that it will have
important results.
Spanish newspapers say that Spalu
"has decided to do anything possible to
avoid war if the honor and dignity of
Spain is not affected."
