The Senate Grows Cautious in
Regard to Cuba.
is DISPOSED TO GO SLOW
The Conference Resolutions are
Again Discussed.
FINAL ACTION TO BE HAD TO-DAY
Senator Hoar Will Press Consideration
of His Resolution to Postpone
Further Action Until
April 9th.

Washington, March 0.-Another
stirring chapter in the Spanish-Cuba
controversy was added by the Senate
to-day. Many Senators indicated a de-
sire to be heard on the subject and the
conference report, accepting the House
Cuban resolution went over until to-
morrow.
In anticipation that the last stage
OF the Cuban question would be reach
ed the Senate galleries We're beseiged
by the greatest crowd seen since the
session opened. All of the public and
reserved galleries were filled to over
flowing, with long lines of anxious
people standing in the outer corridors
eager to gain admission. The diplo-
matte gallery was occupied by Ambas-
sador Pater Notre, of France; Minis
ters Meudonca, of Brazil, and
Hatch, of Hawaii; Baron Won
Kettlar, of the German Embassy;
Messrs. Ho and Chung, of the Chinese
legation, and many Of the secretaries,
attaches and members of the legation
households. The bright costumes of
the ladies of the diplomatic circles and
the rich silken robes of the Chinese
diplomats gave touch of bright color
to the animated scene.
The speech of the day was made by
Senator Hale, of Maine, in vigorous
opposition to the resolution and to the
offensive interference of the United
States in foreign questions. The Sena-
tor declared that the spirit of militar-
ism was abroad in the land, that our
course involved the possibilities of war
with all it's dreadful consequences.
Mr.. Hale brought out the kindly
action of Spain at the time of our civil
war when the British who built pri-
yateers were prevented from remain
ing for any length of time in Spain's
ports and when American prisoners
who were aboard them were released
by Spanish orders,
A dramatic incident occurred when
Mr.. Hale offered to read the statement
of Minister De LONE, of Spain, calling
in question the accuracy of some of
the statements made by Senators Nor
gan, Sherman and Lodge concerning
Spanish atrocities.
Mr.. Davis. of Minnesota, quickly OBJ
jected to the reception of a document
from a foreign minister not formally
transmitted Messrs. Mitchell, of
Oregon, Morgan and Teller added their
protest in the same direction. For
time there was some confusion and a
prospect of a serious conflict but the
serenity of the debate was restored by
Mr.. MitchelPs withdrawal of his OBJ
lection.
1t is exected that the debate to-mor-
row viii continue to have animated
phases. Mr.. Hoar offered a resolution
to-day postponing all action on the
Cuban question until April 9Th. This
resolution will come up under the
rules tomorrow and may form the
basis of opposition to an adoption of
the House conference report.
Another resolution by Mr.. Hoar was
adopted calling on the President for
all available information on the Cuban
subject. The latter part of the day was
given to the Dupont contest.
Mr.. Turpie (Indiana) argued against
the claim of Mr.. Dupont.

REORGANIZATION OF THE 3. & o.
President Spencer in Baltimore Look
ing After the Matter.

Baltimore, Maryland, March o..
Spencer, of the Banking firm of j. P.
Morgan q Co., of New York, is in this
city, presumably on business connected
with the reorganization of the B. and
O. Co. He has not yet called upon re-
ceivers Cowan and Murray, but he has
been i'm earnest consultation with 9TH
ers holding large interests in the com
pany.
Mr.. Spencer has carefully avoided
interview for publication and his
friends say his visit is purely social
one. His presence at this time, how
ever, has given rise to the belief that
it has something to do with gaining the
consent of local bondholders to placing
the company in the hands of Morgan
&5 Co. for reorganization, and it is
limited that a third receiver may be
appointed as a result Of the visit.

To the Members of the Mutual Fire
Insurance Co. of Montgomery County.

At the annual meeting of our company
held January Z, 1895, which was the largest
in the history of the company, various by
laws and resolutions were adopted, by prac.
tically unanimous votes, TO reduce the ex'
penses OF the company, and, II possible, To
prevent the abuse OF proxies.
At the election held at that time the di-
rectors, by the use of proxies, some of which
were ten years old, continued themselves in
power, and at their first meeting thereafter
declared by resolution, that the action OF the
members at the annual meeting was null
and void, and they would not be bound
thereby.
One of the bylaws adopted at that time
limits the life Of proxies TO six months, and
in order TO continue their defiance OF the
members and TO re.elect themselves new
proxies must be obtained by the directors
1t is earnestly requested that all members
of the company who possibly can shall at
tend the next annual meeting TO be held at
Sandy Spring, on January 9th, 1896, at 10 A.
M and that no proxies shall be given for
use at that meeting.
All members who may have given proxies
within the past six months are respectfully
requested 10 revoke the same at once.
