WASHINGTON, June St is regarded as
improbable that Congress will act at this
ession upon the question of the recon
, truction of Tennessee.
GEN. Jordan again.
Gen. Jordan, commander of the Cubans,
has returned, and in various interviews
with members of all parties finds general
disposition to vote for Mr. Banks resolu-
ton favoring the imperative neutrality on
the part of the United States toward the
combatants in Cuba. He is confident that
this indirect recognition of belligerent
rights will insure the success of the revo-
lutionists, because it allows the Cubans 10
buy arms and guDboats the same as the
Spanish. He said the premature publica-
ton of the foreign affairs committees re-
port had furnished valuable information to
the Spanish Minister, which the latter tele-
grapbed TO Madrid and Havana. The State
Department says the Cuban privateer Up
ton could not legally have been detained,
because she sailed without eontraband of
war. The Spanish Minister says she was
supplied with arms for Cuba.

make an effort to have the whole subject
considered, which they are confident would
be done, and the result of the vote is ex-
pected to satisfy the whole country.
