Senator Call Introduced a Stir
 ring Cuban Resolution.
Interest in the Cause ReViVed-Man- ner of MaCeo's Death Denounced by Members of the House of Representatives

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-A final vote on the immigration bill will be taken in the senate next Thursday. Little doubt is entertained as to the passage of the measure, as it already has passed the house and will be in conference before the holidays.
 MT. Call (Dem., Florida), renewed attention to the Cuban question by three resolutions, one being a bitter denunciation of the manner in which it is alleged General Antonio Maceo had been killed, while under flag of truce. Other resolutions by MT. Call requested the president to demand the release of United States prisoners at the Spanish penal settlement on the island of Gueta and also asked the secretary of state for list of the Americans held in Spanish prisons The three resolutions went to the committee on foreign relations.
 MT. Calls first resolution was as follows: Resolved, That the killing of General Antonio Maceo, a renowned general in the service of the republic of Cuba, if true, while under flag of truce and with assurance of safety from Spanish captain-general, was a violation of the rules of civilized war, an outrage of base treachery, murder cowardly and disgraceful, which de- mands the execration of every govern ment and all the world, whether civil ized or savage. That the government which authorizes, permits or fails to punish the assassins connected with the guilt of this crime, with the ex- treme penalty of the law, is an outcast from the family of nations and from the pale of civilization and public law That the committee on foreign rela- tions be directed to make inquiry as to the facts and report to the senate at an early day"
 Beyond agreeing to two weeks holi- day recess beginning December P the proceedings in the house today were almost entirely devoid of public interest. Mosts6f the day was spent ir struggle ovefs a bill to render laws relating to the sale of Intoxicating liquors in the District of Columbia more stringent The bill was passed
 The reported assassination of Mace( has rekindled interest in the Cubar question and the house of representa- tives is unanimous in denouncing tht methods by which it is alleged tht Cuban leader was entrapped to hi: death, although many of them say that the information up to date is in sufficient to justify any assumption b! congress that Maceo was assassinated The house leaders are disposed to b, conservative in their treatment of tht question and most of them believe with President Cleveland that ther, should be no intervention by this con gress. But it is quite possible tha the state department will be calle' upon to furnish all the information i has concerning the affair.
 Senor Quesada in charge of tn Cuban headquarters, has document bearing on the IrodImeHt Ol SoluleT in Cuba which he intends to use be fore congress in attempting to secur from that body action favorable t the Cuban cause and which, he con tends, accords to Cubans the rights o belligerency. They assert, he says that the Spaniards agreed to abid by the terms of the Geneva Red Cros agreement for the treatment of sol diers captured in war, which the have failed utterly to do notwith standing the Cubans treated the Span ish captives with great magnanimity
