Effort to Pass 1t.
The Republican Leaders Will Seek TO
Kill the Measure.
A sharp Conflict probable Today Be
tween the Representatives of the
Railroads and OF the People Discus
sion OF Appropriation Bills.

Washington City. Feb. ee.-The Demo-
cratic steering committee OF the senate.
after nlany postS.onements. held a meet
ing today and. decided TO recommend
IL the senate that Senator Butler
should be permitted to move at 3
O'Clock tomorrow for the consideration
Of the pooling bill: that this bin should
be continued as the unfinished business
until IL o'csock Monday. and If IL
should not be disposed Of by that time
1t should give place To other business.
The programme was Immediately con-
slrued into decision to hold Sunday
session. and this act was made the
most OF by those senators who oppose
the bill. The advocates Of the bill did
not admit In 80 many words that their
purpose inciuded Sunday session, but
they confessed that II they should sue
ceed In getting the bin up they would
use their utmost ensieavors to have 1t
voted upon before the expiration OF the
time Set for It's consideration. and az
this time would incsude only about
three hours Of the Saturday session and
one hour Of the Monday session. they
would necessarily have very limited
time fOr the bill without either a night
or a Sunday session.
When Senator Butler, who. as chair
man Of the interstate commerce COM
ndttee. has charge Of the bill, was asked
what his purpose was as to a Sunday
session, he said he did not want to be
quoted as saying anything that could
be construed into threat, and that he
wou.d only say he would use his best
esdeavor 10 get the bill before the SEN
ate. and IL he should succeed In that
he would continue his exersions In its
behaif until "a vote could be reached
He felt confident Of the success of the
bill in case vote could be reached.
end he believed a clear ma jority would
be shown on the vote for consideration.
While Senator Butler would name no
figures. II ID understood that other
friends of the bill claim that a final
vote would show two-thards of the SEN
ate in favor OF it.
The Opponents conceSie that If a vote
should be reached II would pass. bus
they are determined In the declaration
that IL shah not reach the point when
the test of IT'S strength shall be made
The TASTES which they will pursue were
rorestiadowed in Senator Pettigrew's
brief speech In the senate Just prior TO
adjournment tonight. The feeling is
such as TO make 1t clear that there will
be very sharp clash when the effort
Is made to take the b;ll up. and the In
dicsitions aro for a period OF most de-
cded parliamentary sIarring against
the measure. which will probably be
led by senator German on the Demo-
cratic side and Senators Chandler and
Aldrich among tse-Republicans

HAVANA, Dec. Ia. 1T is reported here
that the insurgents have burned the town
of Manicaragua, not far from Sigane,

TO have mustered their forces. Msnicara-
qua is an important tobacco market OF
the province of Santa Clara.
A dispatch from Cienfuegos announces
that the insurgents under Maceo and
Gomez were defeated at Ma buguia, near
Manicaragua, the town in santa Clara,
which il said to have been burned by
them. Generals Oliver and Palanca COM
manded the government forces.
Rabi, the insurgent leader, with
strong force and Gatling gun,a dispatch

attacked the fort at Ventas de Casanova,
province of Santiago de Cuba. The Span
ish garrison was compelled to abandon
that fertilization and to entrench itself in

retired.
A fierce encounter has taken place on

THE STRIKE IS SERIOUS.
Workmen Refuse Terms Pr0ffered by
Their Employers.

GLASGOW. Dec. 14.-The engineers, by
tsllot have rejected their employers
terms and therefore the strike in the ship
building circles which was believed 70
have been settled Will now be continued.
The men who have been out on strike
here in the shipbuilding yards have also
rejected the terms offered them by their
employers, which were accepted on Wed
nesday last by a joint conference of the
employers and employees at Glasgow and
which were generally expected TO be ac-
cepted by the strikers.
The result of the palloting at Glasgow

the Clyde. The refusal OF the Clyde men

The news received here from Glasgow
and Belfast today that the great strike
in the ship uilding trades is to contin-
de. has caused a great depression in
stock and in commercial circles, for there
is no doubt that the supremacy OF Great
Britain in shlpbuilding is threatened aud
large contracts for foreign warships

other countries.
1t Is believed, however, that the en-
