ALLEN WANTS CUBAN INDEPENDENCE The Greater Part of the Speech Making in the Executive Session of the Senate Was in Opposition to the President's Views. Wasmnetox, April 6.—A debate which occurred in the executive ses- sion of the senate late yesterday after- noon would indicate that, no matter what was the character of the resolu- tion to come from the committee on foreign relations the resolution would cause a serious and perhaps prolonged discussion. It emphasized the fact that there are two elements in the sen- ate—one for independence with inter- vention in Cuba, another for interven- tion alone, and these two factions will fight vigorously for their ideas. The activity was due to the announce- ment that the president’s message would recommend the adoption of a policy looking to intervention in Cuba on the part of the executive branch of the government rather than the recog- nition of independence, and to an ef- fort to make smooth the way for the reception of such a report. The execu- tive session was devoted toa general discussion of the policy to be pursued toward Spain, and developed the fact that much opposition would be made to the acceptance of a policy in line with the president’s desires. The ques- tion was raised by Senator Allen, who made a long speech predicting much dissatisfaction in the country at large with a policy on the part of the execu- tive that did not go to the extent of giving the Cubans their entire inde- pendence of the mother country. Senator Allen was followed by other speakers in the same line, and the fact was made very evident that if the committee on foreign relations should bring ina resolution merely comply- ing with the president’s request, stop- ping short ofa declaration of independ- ence, there would be an effort in the senate to amend it so as to accomplish this end. Indeed, the announcement was made by more than one senator that he would offer such an amend- ment, and by many more that they would support an effort in the direction of adding the independence declaration to a resolu- tion providing simply for intervention. The committee was, therefore, urged not to yield to the wishes of the presi- dent, but to stand strongly for com- plete action. The policy of the presi- dent for executive intervention only was criticised as one which would place the entire question in the hands of the president and thus leave the matter where it now is, except that it would be a voluntary relinquishment of the right of congress in the premises —the right, among others, to declare war. The greater part of the speech mak- ing was in opposition to the executive, and no one attempted to outline the probable action of the committee. ‘There was also a recurrence to the in- tention of the president to withhold the Cuban consular correspondence, and suggestion was made that, if this matter was of acharacter too inflam- mable to permit of its being made pub- lic, it be given to the senate in secret session. While the senate was in executive session a formidable element in the senate was considering what would be done in case resolutions should be re- ported providing for recognition of in- dependence. This faction was com- posed of what is known as the conserva- tive element on the republican side of the senate. A general purpose was expressed to oppose the adoption of any report that should recommend a recognition of Cuban independence and what did not indeed confine itself to the support of the president’s recommendation for intervention only. This position was taken because of the generally expressed conviction among the senators present that, in case of war with Spain and the triumph of the armies of the United States, this country should be left free to dispose of Cuba as she might think proper. Many of them expressed dissatisfaction with the present Cuban administration, and the opinion was given that the recog- nition of independence at this time would bind the United States to the support of the present Cuban adminis- tration, and to guaranteeing its bonds, giving tothe Cuban junta a position of influence and power to which it was not, in their opinion, entitled. The prevailing opinion among sen- ators is that the committee will recede from its position for both independence and intervention and report a resolu- tion in accordance with the president’s recommendation for intervention alone, but this is not certain. Call Issued for Omaha Funds. TorrKka, Kan., April 6.—The Kansas. Omaha exposition commission issued an address last night to the people of the state announcing that $30,000 is-re- quired for making 8 creditable exhibit and calling upon them to raise $15,000 of that sum. The Missouri Pacific, Rock Island, ’Frisco and Santa Fe roads have contributed the remaining $15,000. No Special Session Likely. Torexa, Kan., April 6—Gov. Leedy announced yesterday that he will not eall a special session of the legislature unless war makes it necessary.

Arthur Hill, who was drowmed in the Miami creek Tuesday of last week, which was published in last week's TIMES, was the son of Mrand Mrs Pleasant Hill, of Charlotte town- ship, four miles south of Virginia. We knew him when quite a small boy, and we have watched hi eer closely and always found him quiet As soonas he reached his teens he began storing his mind with useful knowledge. He gradu- ated from the Butler Academy in 1896. His object was to make the world better for his being init. He worked to build up his fellow-man intellectually and morally. He taught seve: schools in his own township. A short time before his death he closed a winter term of schoolin the Nestlerode district, in which he has the praise of beinga good teacher. When in his boyhood days he enlisted in the temperance work; took an active part in several medal contest. His father, mother and sisters were active workers in the same cause. His grandfather, Johnson Hill, several years before he died had published a tract warn- ing young folks to shun evil com- panions. Arthur’s first and last vote was cast for prohibition. On Monday afternoon he called and spent some time in leoking at the stock and tell- ing what he was trying to do this in A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart, of Groton, 8.

All these from people who had no money, but who had hearts full of pity and of charity. These things came from all parts of the country; no section had a monopoly of the gifts. Great corporations not ordinarily noted for their charity are, many of them, heavy contributors to the relief funds. The Christian Herald is getting on an average of $1,500 a day, or about $10,000 a week. Of this money Miss Clara Barten gets $10,000 a month for use in Cuba.
