IN THE EXECUTIVE SESSION
THE CUBAN QUESTION NOT TAKEN UP-Two
NONIN ATOMS CONEuRMrrn

NOMINATIONS CONFIRMED.
Washington. March BIT thought that when
the Senate into executive session this after
noon the Cuban question would be taken up Mr.
Sherman earlier in the day referred certain
documents which had been given 10 the Committee
on Foreign Relation. presenting the side Of Spain.
and said that on these the committee had based It's
Judgment and the report IT had made to the Senate
Mr. Hoar and others asked that these matters be
laid before the Senate In executive session they
might be made aware Of the contents. Mr. Sher-
man EXPIRE ssed his Willingness. and this led to the
belief that the matter would come UP.
Cuba was not referred 10. however. when the
doors were closed. There is good reason for be-
lievng that the secret document OF which Mr. Sher
man spoke Is nothing but a presentation OF the
Spanish side OF the question, prepared by Minister
Dupuy de LONE. and transmitted by Secretary
Olncy TO the committee. II Is said TO be m0dera g
in tone, and not nearly strong as the published
ago, and which became the text for several
speeches In the Senate.
The time Of the Senate In executive session was
consumed in the consideration OF two cases which
have aroused a great deal of opposition because OF
the violation of the home rule principle or the
Democratic party. These cases were those or

finally confirmed by vote OF q to 49, Mr. DUBOIS.

TAX EXEMPTION

Sells AND REPEATING TONNAGE
TAX EXEMPTIONS
Washington, March Is (SpeciaD.-In the House Of
Representatives to-day Chairman Payne. Of the
Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries.
asked and obtained unanimous consent for the con-
side-ation OF two bills OF considerable Importance
which had been favoraby reported from that COM
mittee. One OF them provides that and after
January !. 1897 person who Is not citizen or
the United States shall he employed engineer
or assistant engineer on any vessel with an Amer
lean register. In explanation OF the bill and In
answer TO questions Mr.. Payne said that from the
date OF the enactment OF the law OF 1884. which
required that ali the officers OF United States mer-
chant vessels should be citizens OF the United States
down to ls9a that act had been construed to include
engineers and assistant engineers. and In his opinion
It could not fairly be otherwise construed The
present Secretary OF the Treasury and the former
Attorney General (Mr. Oney). however. held "A con-
trary opinion. 1t was. therefore. thought wise and
necessary to remove all doubt the subject by
amending the law In the manner proposed inasmuch
q number Of vessels belonging TO the merchant
marine. including the st. Paul. the st. Louis. the
Paris and the NewYork, would be called into the
service OF the Government as auxiliary cruisers In
OF war. In such a contingency It would be
manifestly improper and unsafe to have aliens en-
poyed as engineers or assistant engineers on those
vessels. The bill passed without a division.
The other bill repeats the provision of existing law
which provides that all merchant vessels OF coun-
tries which exempt American merchant vessels from
payment OF tonnage dues shall be exempted from
payment OF such dues In ports OF the United States

Sir Richard Webster Attorney General replied
that the quotations material parts Of the case
