WASHINGTON, January S. Itappcars from
conversations with leading Democrats now
in Washington that there is no likelihood OF
any immediate move on their part looking to
important party action. Therewill evidently
be calm and careful review of the develop
ments of political affairs generally before any
concerted movement is undertaken by the
Democracy.
The following are the resolutions intro
duccd ly Mr.. Cox in the House Of Repre-
scntatiycs to-day, which were referred to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs:

the kingdom Of Spain-to wit, the Island OF
Cuba--!as been waging war against Spain
for their independence for period now O:
more than three years, the existence of which

in srndry public acts and documents; and
whereas during this war Spain has been
allowed to supply her armies and naries
from the factories, dock-yards, and arsenals
Of this country with every materia;
requisite Of warfare, while the Cubans, in
direct opposition to fair spirit of neutrality,
have been denied similar advantages, and
vessels frei9hted with arms and ammunition
destined for the Cubans, in accordance with
the legal rights of American citizens to trade
in arms with peoples and Powers who are at
war and in the exercise Of what has been de-
clared both by the Executive and Federal
court to be 4 legitimate voyage, have, in vio-
lation Of law and equity, been detained and
subjected to delays by an unfair peryersion of

and whereas the majority of the independent
Republics Of this hemisphere have recognized
