ports to that effect.

The news of the alleged assassina-

WASHINGTON Aooc

Over the Assassination OF Gen. Mzceo-
Little Else Thought or Spoken Of-Ths
Sentiment Among All Glasses Decidedly
in Sympathy With the Cubans-wiu Be
Brought Up In Congress To-Day.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Little else
was discussed in Washington among
diplomats and politicians beyond the
tragic death of the insurgent general,
Maceo. The sentiment here among
all classes is decidedly with the insur-
gents, and expressions of sympathy
were heard on all sides for the ulti-
mate success of the Cuban cause. The
subject of Maceo's death will be
brought up in congress to-day and
most probably in the senate, where
several resolutions recognizing Cuban
belligerency are pending. 1t is less
difficult to bring the subject up there
than in tie house, where the rules re-
strict action.
Chairman Hit of the house foreign
affairs committee was not in a posi-
ton last night, he said, to discuss h
subject of Maceo's death. The news
was too conflicting and indefinite, and
he vas in favor of waiting until the
details of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ing that Maceo is dead-are received
through United States official chan
nels. Mr.. Hit, because of his promi-
nent position, is cautious, and he
voices the general sentiment of the
conservative element of both parties.
There is in both branches of con
gress a large number who are ready to
recognize Cuban belligerency whether
the Maceo incident proves correct or
not.
Senator Blanchard. of Louisiana,
represented this element when ne
declared last night that he was ready
at any time to vote for a resolution
recognizing the ~belligerency of the
Cubans, or better still, their indie
pendence.
Senator Platt, of Connecticut, said
that the mendacious character of the
news from Cuba for the past SIX
months and it's utter unreliableness,
prevented him from expressing any
opinion in advance of official informa-
ton confirming Maceo's death No
body knows" he declared, with EN-
phasis, whether Maceo is dead or
alivel if dead, how he met his death or
any Of the essential details upon
which to base an intelligent opinion,
and until l do l will not speak as to
what ought to be done or indicate how
l will act"
Senator ThurstoD, of Nebraska, said
he would vote t o enter the protest of
this government against the manner
OF warfare being carried on in Cuba,
and Mr.. Mcmillan, of Tennessee, and
Mr.. Berry, of Kentucky, favored some
by the government which
would show the world that the United
States did not stand idly by and by
its silence approve of the methods of
the Spanish government against
Cuba. 1t is not believed that a res
olution to investigate the nanner in
which Maceo met his death will be
offered in congress. Even Cuban SYM
pathizers do not think such a matter
is within the power of this govern
ment, as Maceo is Spanish subject,
and his alleged death occurred on
soil; but it will be within the
province of the United States con-
at Havana to institute
such inquiry and for congress to call
for and act upon his report. The mat
ter will doubles take this course.
