HOUSE HAS AN EVENTFUL DAI Passage of the Majority Re= port by the House^of Representatives. Washington, April 13. — The house of representatives today, aft¬ er one of the most exciting and memorable days in its history, by a vote ot 322 to 19 adopted resolu¬ tions which nine-tenths of its mem¬ bers believe make war with Spain inevitable. The resolutions adopt¬ ed direct the president to intervene at once in Cuba, to restore peace and secure to the people of the is¬ land,‘a staple and independent gov-’ ernment of their own,’’and author¬ ize him to use the army and navy to execute the purpose of the reso¬ lutions. Only 40 minutes were given for debate, and a special rule %vas re¬ quired to get the resolutions before the house. The minority resolu¬ tion which declared for the recog¬ nition of the existing government of Cuba were voted down, but they secured the votes of three re¬ publicans. Some stirring and pa¬ triotic sentiments were voiced dur¬ ing the debate, which lifted the galleries and the members to a high pitch of enthusiasm. The following are majority reso¬ lutions which passed the House and only needs the senate’s action to make them a law : “Whereas, the government of Spain, for three years past, has been waging war on the island of Cuba against a revolution by the inhabitants thereof without making any substantial progress towards the suppression of said revolution, and has conducted the warefare in a manner contrary to the law’s of nations by methods inhuman and uncivilized, causing the death by starvation of more than tw’o hun- v i 1 ; / r iGSi v WM E b?:* iggsi rf. m m. ;• v B b'‘*.i. -2 ll • » '»” •' f f i •SO ^....

A vote may come up in the sen» ate tomorrow or it may be put off till Friday, When the senate adopts a report there will be but little time lost between the two houses in coming to an understand¬ ing as to the exact language. Should a recognition resolution come from the senate it is doubtful if the republican leaders could con¬ trol all their followers, and it would secure enough republican votes to insure its passage. It may yet take that shape. Whatever the result of the action of the senate, it seems very.clear that we are to have war. This fact SUBSCRIPTION, $i.00 A YEAR NO. 22.

In the face of this certainty it is not beiieved that there can he any filibustering in either house or conference. Any unnecessary delay is now regarded as aimed not at either political par¬ ty, but at the country, whose inter¬ ests demand speedy action.
