WASHINGTON, March 4.-There Is no longer
any room for doubt that the Cuban rebellion s
ended 80 far rs the island itself Is Gbncerned.
The terms OF peace have been agreed upon by
the Spanish Minister and Cuban Junta In New
York, and 1t is probable that this country and
France will off1ciate IA guaranteeing powers
A few Of the so-ealled Cuban patriots here and
In New York denouncs the treaty. and declare
their Intention to carry on the struggle,
but ndvices received hero from Cuba, both
ut our State Department ani at the Spanish
embassy, indicate that the peace will be enhu-
siastically received and faithfully kept on the
island. and the only real ground OF appreben-
sion has been that tho Spanish authorities
would be unable to control tho volunteers, who
are regarded MS opposed to the present scheme
OF settlement. This apprehsns is now dis
PEELED. and tho paci6cation Of Cuba may be
considered an accomplished fact. under tho
terms OF peace. which appear elsewhere in the
regular press report.
In the House caucus day Speaker Randall
received
A Decided SHmb.
He had been lobbying to obtain the privilege
Of appointing the experts for the investigating
committee under the Glover resolution and
tho caucus, by u decisive vote. resolved to leave
the selection Of experts to the commi tees en-
ploying them. This explodes Mr.. Rnndalrs
scheme to get control OF the investigating ma
chinery and demonstrates that his influence
has wnned.
Tho resolution Of inquiry aimed at Wells and
Anderson, mentioned in Friday nights special
did not get In o-day under suspension Of the
rules. owing to the expiration Of tho morning
hour before 1t could be reached: but Proctor
Knott, chairman Of the Judiciary Committee,
has taken charge Of 1t. and will bring 1t up at
the earliest possible moment.
The Democrats in Congress will actively sus-
tain Gov. Nichols In
UphOIding the Rights
of Louisiana. There is good authority foY the
tions Committee have concluded to abandon
their design Of reporting
COrbin Entitled to Buffers Seat
until the close OF tho session, when they will
try to get such n report printed. in order to
flood the country with stories about outrages in
South Carolina for 81 campaign document In
tho congressional canvass, but there is no in
tention Of making an actual effort to unseat
Butler.
D0Orkeeper Polka New Committee.
The Committee on Civil Service Reform have
nearly concluded the investigation OF Door
keeper Polk. and their report will exonerate
him from the charge upon which the investiga-
ton was ordered. The report. owever. will
criticise some Of the practices developed In the
administration Of the offfce. and will recom-
mend that all the patronage of the House be
placed under the control of q standing Commit
tee on Applications and Appointments to be
created in the same manner as other commit
tees OF the Hopso. and to have the same iuris-
dic'ion over Appointments that the Committee
on Accounts has over disbursements.
