WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The prob
abilities are that the Cuban question
and the tariff, as effected by the silver
substitute, will divide the greater part
of the senate during the present
week. There will be an effort Mon
day by Dubois. chairman of the com.
mittee on public lands, TO secure un-
-animous consent to lay theCuban reso-
luton aside to permit the considera-
tion of the bill extending the limit of
time which suits may be brought to
secure the restoration of certain
granted lands to the government.
The present limitation expires in
March, and the president, has, by
special message to congress, asked for
immediate action. This bill is one
which will excite some debate, but it
is probable an amicable arrangement
will be made for its consideration dur
ing the week, if not Monday.
1t is the purpose of the advocates of
Cuban recognition to keep the ques-
tion as we'll to the front as they can
until it shall be disposed of, though
they are not hopeful of securing vote
this week.
The house is pushing ahead the ap-
preparation bills, with all possible
speed, with view to an early final ad-
journment. Already five of the thirteen
general appropriation bills have been
sent to the senate-the army, military,
academy, urgent deficiency, diplomatic
and consular and agricultural. The |
District of Columbia bill has in it sew
eral disputed items, but will, it is be- |
lieved, cause little trouble when it is
again brought into the house. The
Indian bill is now under consideration,
and the legislative, executive and ju-
dicial, the next in order, is on tho cal
endar. The naval and postoffice bills
will be brought in this week. When
these are disposed of, only three will

SPANISH NEWS FROM CUBA.
Insurgents, According to Report, Getting
Worsted.

| insurgents, AccOrdin TO Report, Getting
Worsted.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The Span
ish minister has received the follow
ing advices from Havana:
Bands of insurgents are maraudine
to the north of Taruco with the inten.
tion of diverting the attention of the
troops, and to permit Gomez and
Maceo to cross to Matanzas and enter
the Cienega de Sapata. The roads to
it are guarded by the commands OF
Echague and Francis.
One ofthe insurgent bands recently
entered the town of San Antonio del
Rio Blanco and was defeated by the
Guadalaja battalion. The encounter
took place at the Ovideo plantation.
| The insurgents lcs5 three killed, four
prisoners, eight horses and arms and
ammunition.
They carried away several wounded.
Colonel Seguara has captured the
rebel chief Enliseta between Catalina
and Guines.
A small column organized by the
military commander of Marina with
volunteers and firemen, defeated COM
pletely the bands of Villa Neuva and
Valdouero, killing 20 and capturing Is
prisoners and 10 horses with saddles
and a few machetes. The reports are
that the insurgents carried away
many. wounded.
Generals Aldecoa and Linares and
Colonel Hernaedez met in the night,
after passing the river Ppedega, the
band of Maceo retreating after having
been defeated by Colonel Hernandez.
The engagement lasted one hour,
and six of the enemy were killed.
The troops arrived at Catalinalate in
the night with two men wounded.
Knowing by the report of a spy that
the enemy was at the plantation
Elegato, Colonel Fort went to meet
them. About q miles from the plan
tation strong groops of the enemy
began firing with the intention of
deceiving the government troops, but
Colonel Fort pursued his way to the
plantation and were met by the fire of
the enemy, who were iEtrenched in
strong position, formed in half circles,
according to their usual tactics.
The troops disloged them from the
sides by the fire of the artillery, the
center being taken by the infantry.
The enemy made final stand in the
ruins of the hut, where they were
stormed by the troops of the
Peoniero regiment and two companies
of the Veragua battalion. The losses
of the enemy were 10 killed on the
field and about 80, carried away.
Many were wounded. The bands
engaged by the government columns
were those of Maceo, Trayas, Parras,
Cardenas, and Calmuga, united with |

AGAIN THEY DARKEN.
Once More There is Evidence of England's
Complete Isolation.

NEW YORK, Fob. PA special to
the World from London says:
The Mountaineering prospect for
Great Britain all over the world may
powerfully and speedily operate upon
the premier's mind to force settle
ment of the Venezuela question along
lines of arbitration. Russia, apparently
supine for years, is dangerously ex-
tending her power. This week saw
her reassert her control of the Balkan
states. The week before saw her es-
tablish her practical suzerainty over
Turkey. The meager news from Corea,
announcing her occupation of Seoul.
indicates that she means to defy Japan
as well as British influence in China.
The Italian reverses in Abyssinia
presage the fall of Great Britain's
only powerful friend.
France is giving new and splendid
assurances of her stability and
strength, and may be counted upon
to side with Russia, unless indeed
Great Britain has made an alliance
with the czar. Germany remains
sullenly hostile. The report from the
Transvaal that the Beers, on the 9th
anniversary of their victory over the
British at Majuba hill, will declare
their complete suzerainty, would, if
true, compel war with the Transvaal
and lead to the strong probability of
German Intervention.
The grounding of German vessel
with Cecil Rhodes on board in the
Suez canal has started England by re-
vealing the certainty that if vessel
were blown up there in war it would
block the canal for weeks. The Graphic
says:
''A block of three weeks might lose
US India forever. Indeed, the man
who declared that the cape of Good
Hope would some day be recognized as
the pivot of the empire may not have
been without wisdom"
Cecil Rhodes really contemplated an
independent United States of South
Africa. Desperate at the loss of
power and of recognition here, he
may carry out that design.
