WAR! Senate and Hesse Passes War Resolution. The Bill Signed by the president and is Bow a Law. Spaniards Most Leaw Cuba .or Take ii Troooeliir In 8 Days. . Ikclart** Ifor lutfrppudfiicc Ur the Cohaai-iPeane War.

Both branches of Congress have concurred in a resolution declaring that Cuba .shall be free and independent. The Senate on last Saturday passed the bill which went to the House, but was amended, and after several votes on the question in the Senate ,the matter was settled and the Turpie part of the resolution voted down. The resolution is in direct contrast to President McKinley^ message presented last week. Wednesday afternoon, the president affixed his signature to.the resolution and it is now a law. It now becomes the duty of j>re*ideut to enforce the law. The resolutions as agreed on by the conferees of both Houses are as follows: Resolved, By the Seuute and House of .Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. 1. That the jwople of the Island of CulA .are, and of right ought to be, free and independent, 2. That it is the duty of the United States to demand, and the government of the United States does hereby demand, that the government of Spain at once relinquish its authority and government in the Island .of Cuba and withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Ciil*an waters 3. That the president of the Uuited State- lt»*. and he hereby is, directed aud .empowered to use the entire land and naval forces of the United States, aud to tail into the actual service of the United States the juilitia of the several states to such extent jus may be necessary to carry these resolutions into effect. 4. That the United Slates hereby disclaims any disposition or intent ion to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over aaid island except for the pacification thereof, and assert its determination, wheu that is accomplished, to leave the government .and control of the island to its people. Under the above law the president will take action and it is probable that he will give Spain until the last of the week to withdraw her armed forces from Cuba and atop hostilities. Should Spain not do this then war will be commenced and Cuba taken by armed forces. War is now on in full blast.
