Washington, Dec. 22-The spectators
who had assembled in large numbers in
the senate galleries today, 10 expecta
ton of Witnessing interesting scenes
and Of listening to an exciting debate in
connection with the Cuban question,

subject at all being resolution of in
quiry as to the circumstances attending
the death of an American citizen said to
have been "hacked to pieces by Span
ish soldiers In the island of Cuba"
Mr. Vest Dem, MOI did not call up,
as he had given notice that he would,
his resolution for an inquiry as to the
constitutional queation presented by the
secretary of state In his press statement,
touching the over of the president to
ignore a joint resolution of congress
directing him to recognize tn indie.
pendence of the republic of Cuba.
The morning hour. in which that sub
ject might have been discussed, was &C
cupied by Mr.. Morgan Dem, Ala), in
long speech against the Pacific rail
road funding bill, and in favor of the
government taking possession of these
roads, which he contended 1t was its
right and duty to do, whenever a de
fault in the paymen- of bonds occurred
The subject came up on a resolution
of Mr.. Peitigrew rep, S. D,) with ref
erence to the per cent trust notes Of
the Union Pacific Railroad company,
which, he asserted, were to be used so
as to injure and destroy the security Of
the government for the debt due to it
by the company.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on Pacific roads, whose chair
man-Mr. Gear tRep,, Ia,)-declared
his purpose to ask action onthe funding

Curious Cuban Caves.

There is series of small and large
eayerns in the marble rocks of The Gu
ban Mountains which are being gradually
filled up. and that. too, In most remark
able manner. The common land snails
of WHICH there are many species and
varieties in Cuba, make these caves
resort during the dry season. They con-
gregate on the floors of the caverns In
immense numbers and millions of them
never leave. The reason is this:
The water which drops from the COS
or ceilings of the different caverns con-
tains large per cent OF carbonate of
lime. When the water evaporates the
lime Is left behind, and. acting as 4 Gem
ent. Il slues great layers of the small
bells together every year. This pro.
cess going on season after season is
gradually filing up the Cuban caves,
and it Is only question of time when
here will not be single ca ern left on

To utIlIre ths Enrth,n men,.

According to the late expression of
the trade and technical journals, the
utilization of the earth's heat will be
one of the next triumphs of the engi-
neer. 1t. is now pretty generally be-
lieved that this can be done by sinking
wells or shafts to the depth Of $4,000
to $4,000 feet into the bowels of the
earth, thus getting down to the central
heat of the globe. Some argue that so
great depth cannot possibly be attained
but admit that It may not be impossible
to penetrate even to 10000 or 10000 feet
with the improved machinery which the
coming engineer will have at his COM
mand. Water obtained from a depth Of
even 10000 feet would have tempera-
ture Of 400 degrees centigrade, which
could be used to heat dwelling houses
and public buildings, to say nothing of
the immense amount of power IT would
supply

Fish I'm Idaho waters.

Washington, Dec. 27.-The rpeort on
salmon Investigations conducted by the
United States ish Commission In the
head waters of the Columbia river in
Idaho have been completed and pub
lished. The inquiry was begun July
2oth of last year, and both the large
and small fish had reached the Idaho
lakes then. The important results of
the investigation are summed up as fol.
lows 1t is probable both the large and
small forms of reddish are anadromous,
though the evidence that the smaller
comes from the sea Is not complete.
The mutilations, sores, fraying out of

The reddish all die soon after spawn

The young reddish remain in the
lakes and connecting waters for at
one year after the eggs are spawned.
The Chinook salmon which come to
these waters die after spawning. The
young Chinook salmon appear to re-

WAR CLOUDS GATHERING

Resolution Favorably.
Will ne Presented on Monday Next
Vote OF Committee Was Prncti-
caily Unanimous - Action Taken
Comes Like n Thunder Clap 10 the
House Members, Many of whom
DenOunce At.

Washington, Dec. Al. The senate
committee on foreign relations, by a
practically unanimous vote this morn
ing ordered a favorable report to be
made to the senate Monday on the
Cameron resolution recognizing the in
dependence of the republic of Cuba. A
verbal change was made in the text of
the resolution, SO that as finally agreed
to It reads as follows:
Resolved, etc, The independence of
the republic of Cuba be, and the same is
hereby acknowledged by the United
States of America.
Section 2.-That the United States
will use its friendly offices with the gov
eminent of Spain to bring to close
the war between Spain and Cuba.
Secretary Olney, who had been re-
quested to appear before the committee
by Senator Sherman, was present for
one hour and laid before the committee
all the information In possession of the
state department. He stated to the COM
mittee very fully the policy of the adj
ministration and the reasons that
prompted its present attitude toward the
insurrection In Cuba No member of
the committee Is willing to make any
statement as to what Mr.. Olney said,
each one looking upon his statement
as a confidential matter between the
secretary and the committee. Sufficient
is known, however, to show that Mr..
Olney laid before the committee the
information received from Consul Gem
eral Lee ar other sources that has been
steadfastly kept from the general public.
Mr.. Olney's Argument did not appear
to have mnch weight with the COM
mittee If 1t was against the passage Of
the resolution, for Immediately upon
his withdrawal the resolution was laid
before the committee for action. There
was no yea and nay vote. but the reso,
luton was agreed to without dissent
ing voice. The only point Of difference
was as to whether the action of the com
mittee should be made public today or
withheld until Monday.
One senator thought action of any
sort should be postponed until after the
holidays, but the will of the majority
prevailed, and there was practical unan.
unity in the vote. Senators Gray and
Daniels were both absent, but 1t is said
that both of them are favorable to the
action taken by the committee.
Senator Cameron was instructed to
prepare the report that will be submit
ed is the senate Monday. AS matter
of fact the report was written and was
submit ted to the committee this morn
morning. 1t is looked upon as an ex-
ceedingly strong document and goes
into the diplomatic history of the United
States very fully to show our policy in
the matter of recognizing new states.
Some few additions and alterations were
suggested by other members of the COM
mittee, but the report as drawn by the
senator Is practically complete.
