A WARLIKE DOCUMENT
Committee Amends Camer
on Resolution.
INDEPENDENCE IS ACKNOWLEDGED
The Secretary Advised Agalnnt precipi
tate Action, But the Senator
Heeded Not.
Washington, Dec. 18. Secretary Ol
ney was before the senate committee on
foreign relations today for a considerable
time. All the members except Gray
and Daniel were present.
The meeting was held for the expresb
purpose of continuing the discussion of
the policy on the Cuban question to be
recommended by the committee. The
meeting was strictly private, Olney be
ing the only person not a member who
was admitted. His advice was agatDst
precipitate action. The foreign rela
tions committee, however, agreed to re
port the Cameron Cuban resolution.
The Ca meron resolution was as fol
lows :
"Resolved, by the senate and house of
representatives of the United States of
America, in congre&s assembled, that
independence of the republic of Cuba be
and the same is hereby acknowledged by
the United States of America.
"Section 2 That the United States
should use its friendly offices with the
government of Spain to close the war be
tween Spain and Cuba."
The committee changed the Cameron
resolution ao as to make it more em
phatic. The title was changed to read,
"A joint resolution acknowledging the
independence of the republic of Cuba,"
the words, "the republic," being insert
ed. Instead of declaring that the United
States "should use its friendly offices,"
the resolution was made to read the
United States "will" do so.
Secretary Olney, it is claimed by mem
bers of the committee who favored the
action, did not have any new informa
tion to present. Olney urged that no
action be taken at present, and pointed
out that there is no real government to
recognize.
The agreement to report the Cameron
resolution was reached immediately after
Olney left without a division or an ex
pressed difference of opinion. The only
division was as to the senate. Cameron
moved its report on Monday next.
. Sherman suggested that the' report be
not put in until after the holidays. The
Cameron motion prevailed by a large
majority.
Members of the committee are reticent
as to what Secretary Olney said, but it
is certain he advised against any action
like that contemplated, as it would in
volve war with Spain.
One member of the committee said :
"Of course Spain will fight, but there
is no danger of other countries getting
in our way. No other European nation
wants to fight us as, we would wind up
the war. with Spain in short order."
The-opinion was expressed that Cleve
land would veto the joint resolution. It
is understood that the main point, raised
by the secretary was that covered in the
president's message, viz., there is no ac
tual government in Cuba to recognize.
Another member of the committee
Bald he believed that in case the presi
dent should veto the resolution it would
pass over the veto, as more than two
thirds of both the senate and the house
favored it. ' '
