M'Kinley Plan Divides Senate on Cuba War Action
Washington officials report that both chambers of Congress see war as inevitable with two main proposals in contention. One favors recognizing Cuban independence and armed intervention to expel Spain, the other supports armed intervention with Cuba free but without recognizing insurgents until US control is established. The latter aims to align executive and legislative aims, but insiders say it is too late for such reconcilements. Berlin dispatches note Madrid says American consulate papers are now under British care, and the pope pressed Spain for a confidential settlement, though Rome’s reply indicated intervention had already begun.
