means Com mlstee to-day, by vote OF / 10
}, decided to report Msynsrd's resolution
repeating the duty and all kinds of taxation
on coal. MIR. Hooper will make minority
report, simply repeating the duty on coal
The Banking and Currency Committee
to-day decided to stand BY their Chairman
in urging the National Bank Bill. Those
opposed to the bill will be allowed to offer
amendments in order that . vote may be
had on each proposition.
The Presidents message on Cuba has not
changed in the least the views of General
Banks or any member Of the committee.
They will insist on their report. The in
preston is that the message has produced
very little effect in the House.
The House, by q vote of III to 81, voted
down Randalls amendment to the National
Bank circulation. All other amendments
we're voted down by large ma jority. The
bill will 60 over, and there seems very little
chance for its passage this session.
Mr.. Banks at one O'Clock presented his
Cuban resolutions in the House. Mr.. Orth
sent the minority report to the Speaker s
desk, which was also read. MIR. Banks then
proceeded TO make mis- speech which attract
ed universal attention. He commenced by
stating that there was nothing in the mes
sage of the President, read yesterday, to
change his views or the views Of the For
eign A fairs Com Rittee. He alluded to the
condition of affairs in the Island maintained
that there was state of war existing there,
and that it WAS the duty of tbs United
States to recognize their belligerency. He
alluded 10 the language in the
message Of ''au occasional bullet" and
said that he had often heard the
n o. IL
Gushing, and the authorship of the message
can no longer be matter OF doubt. He
characterized the action of Spain as unpar-
sileled in barbarity and unequalled in the
history of thu world. He stated the fact tina,
he was IN possession of information which
went to show that even the American Con-
sui was not safe in Cuba. There was q
Government there, but it was not for Amer
/ leans He took the ground that the Amer
can government never protected its people
and it's flag as the English did. This por-
ton of his remarks drew applause from the
galleries.
In conclusion, Gen Banks said at is
year and half since the Spanish Minister
said to the correspondent of prominent
paper in my district that had no other in
rerest in this matter than | had in the Sar
Domingo cause-.hat of personal profit, and
that / had large real possession IN the island
If the American Minister In Madrid made
such remarks about a member OF the Cortez
he ought to be crushed out of the country
and if thought American citizens had any
hope of redress from the Spanish, | would
demand at this late date satisfaction tol
such remarks The President ought Il
pause before sending messages to thu
| House, impugning the character OF its mem
bers in this indirect mode, and give HI
views concerning such conduct by the span
ish Minister.
