HOUSE REFUSES TO RATIFY.
The Cuban Resolution Goes Back to the
Senate for Debate.
ACTION QUICK, SHARP AND DECISIVE.
Dinglcy Had His Forces Well in Hand and
Lost no Time in Unnecessary
Discussion.
Washington, April 18.—Imme-
diately upon the house conven-
ing at 10 o'clock, Mr. Dingley,
the republican floor leader, mov-
ed an adjournment, which car-
ried. The regular session, there-
fore, began,at noon.
Tho house adjourned for the
reason that no message could be
received from the senate until
that body was in session.
The motion which the repub-
lican leaders have decided upon
will be to concur in the senate
amendments, with an amendment
striking out the recognition of
the existing republic of Cuba.
This motion will take precedence
over all other motions. There
was some objection to the fourth
section of the resolution, which
declares against annexation in
any form, but the leaders decid-
ed, in view of the fact that the
seuate had unanimously adopted
it, to allow it to stand. The lead-
ers are very confident their mo-
tion will prevail.
Upon reconvening at noon Mr.
Dingley moved concurrence in
the senate resolutions with an
amendment striking out the Cu-
ban independence recognition.
Mr. Bromwell of Ohio (Rep.)
moved to concur. The vote was
first on Dingley's motion, which
carried by a vote of 179 to 156.
The Cuban resolution now goes
to the senate as soon as the
clerks can prepare it, where it
will doubtless be debated at some
length.
Washington, April 18, 1 p, m.
Shortly before 12 o'clock Sen-
ator Hanna appeared on the
house floor and had a conference
with Gen. Grosvesnor of Ohio.
As the hands of the clock point-
ed to noon the speaker ascended
the rostrum and with the gavel
silenced tho confusion on the
floor and in the galleries.
Reading the journal had not
beon concluded before the clerk
of the senate announced the pas-
sage of tho house Cuban resolu-
tions with tho senate amend-
ments.
Both Mr. Dingley, the floor
leader of the republicans, and
Mr. Bailey, the democratic lead-
er, were on their feet. Dingley
was recognized by the speaker
and immediately moved concur-
rence in tne senate amendment,
with an amendment striking out
the clause in the first resolution
which recognizes the indepen-
dence of the existing republic.
Tho actual form of the motion,
which was reduced to writing, is
as follows:
"1 movo to concur in the sen-
ate amendment to the house joint
resolution, with an amendment
striking out in tho first paragraph
the word 'are' and also the words
'and that the government of the
United States hereby recognizee
the republic of Cuba as the true
and lawful government of that
island,' so that the first para-
graph of the senato amendment
will read as follows: 'First—
The people of the island of Cuba
of a right ought to be free and
independent.'
Upon his motion Mr. Dingley
demanded the previous question
which served to cut off amend-
ment and debate.
Mr. Bailey, who was still upon
his feet, asked if the motion to
concur with an amendment pre-
cluded tv motion to concur, and
was informed by the speaker that
it would not if the motion was
voted down.
It was a moment of intense ex-
citement. Mr. Johnson (Rep.)
of Indiana and Mr. Bromwell of
Ohio were on their feet, both de-
manding recognition to state

parliamentary enquiries. The
former wanted to ask unanimous
consent to address the house in
antagonism to the motion, but he
was howled down. But when
Mr. Bromwell, a moment later,
declared he wished to offer a
motion to concur, the democratic
side sent up cheer upon cheer.
The republican side was omin-
ously silent. The speaker stern-
ly commanded order and then
informed Mr. Bromwell that his
motion could not be entertained
until that of Mr. Dingley was
disposed of.
Mr. Bailey, under cover of
making a parliamentary inquiry,
brought out clearly the fact that
unless the motion of Mr. Dingley
was voted down, the house could
not vote on the motion to concur,
of which Mr. Bromwell had giv-
en notice.
No division availed on the mo-
tion for previous question, but
upon the main question a chorus
of demands from both sides went
up for the yeas and nays. The
roll call was watched with intense
interest. The Democrats started
in to applaud every republican
who voted "No," but the prom-
ised defection of over 25 mem-
bers on the republican side did
not materialize. The democrats
only had 14 opportunities to ap-
plaud.
The announcement of the vote
of 179 to 150 and the decisive
victory was loudly applauded by
the republicans. Fourteen re-
publicans voted with the demo-
crats and populists, as follows:
Bromwell, Brown, Colson, Coop-
er of Wisconsin, Dorr, Johnson
of Indiana, Johnson of North
Dakota, Dorimer, Loud, Maha-
ney, Mann, Sulloway, Warner
and White of Illinois. One pop-
ulist, Howard of Alabama, voted
with the republicans.!
bribes for independence.
Washington, April 18.—The
personal statement of a promi-
nent newspaper publisher, own-
ing two papers, that he had been
offered $2,000,000 in Cuban bonds
if he would support the recogni-
tion of Cuban independence, is
having a great effect among
members. "
It is coupled with the statement
that the offer was made by a man
showing the authority of the Cu-
ban junta. He told members that
the offer was accompanied by a
guarantee that a bank would pay
40 cents on the dollar when inde-
pendence was recognized.
The statement was made on
the floor of the house and helped
defeat the independence resolu-
tion.
the senate stands firm.
Washington, April 18—Amend-
ments made by the house to the
senate bill approving the com-
promise and settlement between
the United States and the 'state
of Arkansas were concurred in
by the senate.
The action of the .house on the
senate's Cuban resolutions was
whispeted about the chamber
and that immediately became the
sole topic of interest.
The resolution as passed by
the house was presented to the
senate about 3 o'clock. Mr.
Davis addressed the senate ask-
ing that they be concurred in as
amended by the house.
Mr. Stewart of Nevada spoke
in opposition.
The vote was taken on the
Davis motion to concur and it
was defeated, the senate,
refusing to ooncur. The ,'vote
was 32 yeas to 46 nays. Ten
Republicans voted no. There
will now necessarilly be a con-
ference.
FIGHTING ift CUBA.
Havana, April 18.—News of
