CUBANs CALL on OLNEY.
They Furnish Information as to the
Sfatus of the lnxurrectiOn.


WASHINGTON, Jan. THE leaders of
the Cuban revolutionary party in the United
States came to Washington to-day to push
vigorously the movement to secure recogni-
ton. of the revolutionists by this govern
sment. They made to Secretary Olney
brief but forcible presentation of the claims
Of the insurgents TO recognition. In addi-
ton they presented to the Secretary great
number of documents bearing on the origin.
abuses, conditions and present status of the
Cuban uprising, collected from official arch
ives and unofficial sources. Recently the
House adopted a resolution on the RECON-
mendation OF the committee on foreign af-
fairs, calling ON the State Department for
all information in its possession concerning
the revolution. President Palma and his
associates at once began the compilation of
evidence in Justification of their cause and
are determined that Congress shall not
want Tor information. IL is probable that
the documents given to Secretary Olney or
tneir substance, VIII soon be transmitted to
the House and referred TO the foreign affairs
committee. There is a strong sentiment In
the House which has been aroused by the
recent successes OF the Cubans that this
government should do all in its power, con-
sistent with international usages to assist
the patriots. Mr.. SUizer and several other
members are endeavoring 10 assist the cause
in Congress President Palma predicts that
the insurgents Will capture Havana within
three months and that Cuban republic will
be established in six months IL Ii has the
recognition OF the United States.
Several members OF the House consulted
the leaders to-day regarding the introduc-
ton of resolutions for the recognition OF
the insurgents as belligerents- Chairman
Hit, of the committee on foreign affairs,
said that he had no objection 10 the intro
duction of resolutions the subject al

the question had been introduced and were

posed for bonds there would be no money in

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE treasury to-

in gold coin, and received from the Mercan-

amount of the reserve at the close OF bust
ness &S.326, 40. In financial circles here the
fear is expressed that to-day's heavy with

January the Withdrawals amounted to about
$i5.000.0o0. of which 100000 were with

elapse before the new bond issue can be
closed and the contracts awarded seems to
add TO the anxiety heretofore felt, and in
some quarters the opinion is expressed that

below any point it has reached hitherto.

Proposed Changes in the Administers
tive Customs Act.


WASHINGTON. Jan. THE House ways
and means committee will begin work to-.
morrow on a proposed scheme of legislation
to prevent differentiation OF imports by
the customs officials. Hearings will be
given to interested parties and tomorrow
there will appear before the committee AS
sistant Secretary Of the Treasury Hamin
and two other members OF the New York
Board OF Appraisers. The plan on which the
committee will base it's work has been out
lined by Representative Draper, of Massa-
chusetts. and it is probable that the COM
mittee Will investigate the present system OF
valuations carefully before it finishes.
1t is General Diapers belief that foreign
dealers secure distinct advantage over
American producers in the home market I'M
der the prevailing methods of appraisal and
that there Is in operation a far-reaching
and successful arrangement TO snip goods
into the country far lower than the tariff
rates. The principal points OF the legislation
which he suggests are that prices at which
imported goods are appraised be given to
American producers of similar goods when
asked for; that foreign price lists and Of
feTS for sales. as well as sales, be consid-
cred and no appraisvments below them
made; that no deductions or commissions.
bounties, etc, be allowed; that in cases of
appeals from appraisers to the Board of

outlined might be followed under the exist
