 Drip Blood.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The Cuban question came forward in the Sen ate today when Mr. Call (Dem. Florida) presented three separate resolutions. One denounced the killing of Gen. Maceo, as follows:
 Resolved, That the killing of Gen. Maceo, renowned general in the service of the Republic of Cuba, if true, while under a flag of truce and with an assurance of safely from the Spanish Captain General, was violation of the rules of civil ized war, an outrage of base treach- cry, murder cowardly and dis graceful, which demands the exc cration of every government and of all the people of the world, whether civilized or savage; that the govern ment witch authorizes, permits or fails to punish the assassins who are connected in any way with the guilt of this crime, with the ex- treme penal,ty 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 Relations be directed to make in- qairy as to the facts and report to the Senate at an early day.
 Another resolution by Mr. Call requested the President to demand the release of all United States citi- zens imprisoned in the Spanish penal colony on the Island Of Centa, off the coast of Africa.
 The third resolution from MT. Gall asked the Secretary of State for list of all United States citi- zens imprisoned in Spanish settle ments, etc., with the circumstance of arrest, charge, conviction, etc.
 The three Call resolutions were referred without comment to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
