WASHINGTON, Aug. THE senate held
short and unintsresting session to-day,
adjourning at 2:A0 p. m. The most Inn
portant event OF the proceedings was the
passage Of resolution directing the pres.

American citisens confined on the Island
Of Cuba for participation In the recent ~
bellions. The early adjournment Was due
to desire TO avoid irritating remarks
which II was thought on the democratic
side would probably be heard later In the
day from the republican senators and
might lead to amendments which, at the
present time, whom the feeling 70 running
high, might prove disasreeable.
