the organization of the militia, and to declare
that the bill shall not be construed SO as to

stead of the gradual abolition OF slavery and
declare that the United States regret to VIII,

the resolutions are far in advance OF the one
passed by The House, and in the recognition
OF the contest, not in accord with the recent
message of the President. The last ct the re-
solutions is this THAT the people OF the U.

Americans in Cuba struggling for independence
and at the same time their sympathy with the
people of Spain in their present efforts fol
