On motion of Mr.. Sherman, the Call
resolution, favorably reported by him,
asking for report on American citizens
held in Spanish prisons, was agreed to
without division. 1t is as follows:
Resolved, That the secretary of state
be and is hereby directed to send to the

sons now held in confinement at Ceuta
and of the charges, briefly stated, on
which they We're condemned and the ma
ture of the evidence, so far as the same
appears on the files of the state depart
ment."
Thus disposed of, the Cuban question
for the time being, was laid aside
The brief discussion, covering hardly
more than half an hour, had been singu-
larry eventful in bringing forward reports
and resolutions: The various features
developed in rapid succession and were
followed with the keenest interest by
crowded galleries.
The status of the various resolutions
is as follows:
The Cameron and Morgan reports are
on the table until after the holidays; the
Vest resolution is on the table, to be
called up tomorrow; the Hill and Chill
ten resolutions are on the table; the Ba-
con resolution is referred to the commit

London, Dec. 20.-The Times, in an
editorial, says it thinks that in the face

IMPROVED RAILWAY SERVICE.

New York, Dec. 2O.-A special to the
World from Havana says:
The condition of a railway communca-
ton between Havana and Matanzas
provinces is greatly improved since May,
when the railway to Matanzas was sub
ject to frequent Interruptions. There
was no communication beyond that point.
The greater part of the line to Glen
fuegos, seventy-nine miles, is in opera
ton at present. The southern road was
not running beyond San Felipe then.
Now daily trains are running regularly
to Union de los Reyes.
The Batabano line route is running
perfectly. In May it was subject to
constant Interruptions. ..t.
The road to Guanajay, too is in regu-
lar operation, as is the road to Artemisa.
Havana is perfectly quiet The streets
are filled with promenaders. There is
music in the public square.

CELEBRATED MACEO'S DEATH.
A Feast rendered Maj. Cirujeda a,
Punta Bravo.

Havana, Dec. 20.-The correspondent
of the Associated Press left Havana at
an early hour this morning by rail for
Mariana, and thence by coach to attend
the grand feast terAlered to Maj. Cirujeda
at Puuta Bravo in honor of his part in
the killing of Maceo. 1t was like sum-
mer day and the road was lined with
troops the entire distance, to protect the
persons attending the feast from the city.
Before the feast there was a grand
pageant. which was witnessed with great
enthusiasm. The feast was inaugurated
with military mass. Major Cirujeda' s
column and the guerilla forces under Pc
rail- which fought at Punta Bravo when
MaceO was killed, being the participants,
and the chaplain of the San Quentin bat
TALON officiating.
After the mass and the feast the cor
respondent of the Associated Press visit
ed the spot at Conception where the fight
with Maceo occurred. He was accompa-
MED by the guide who led the troops on
that occasion and was shown the exact
spot where the clash between the oppos-
ing sides took place.
The conversation of the guide fully
confirmed the reports of the occurrence
The feast to Major Cirujeda was given
under the auspices of the Central Calico,
and was as plendid banquet, 1900 plates
being laid. Maj. Cirujeda, his officers
and the men of the column were the hon
ored guests. The feast passed off in the
best order, cheers being given for Spain,
the queen regent, the minister of war,
Capt. Gen. Weyler, the Marquis of Ahu-
mazda, the army and navy and Maj. Ci-
rujcdl. 1t was voted unanimously by the
participants in the feast to petition the
town council to change the name of the
Punta Bravo to San Quintin in honor of
Maj. Cirujeda's wife, and before the
feast broke up message was received
from the queen regent, through the Mar
Quis of Ahumada, congratulating her god
son, the young Alfonso, Marquis de Gri-
jalba, who came voluntarily to serve as
corporal under Maj. Cirujeda.
1t was noticed along the route to Pun
ia Bravo that many houses had been de-
| stroyed within sight of the roadside.

MOSTLY WHITES LEFT.

London, Dec. 20.-A letter from Ha-
yana to the Times, dated December 5,
dwells upon the fact that the white ele-
ment now performances largely in the
rebel ranks, while the rebels possess the
sympathy of nearly all the educated
classes.
THE truth of which," the correspon-
dent continues, sis seen in the number
of prominent people sent as political pris-
oners TO the Spanish penal settlements in
the last six months. The worst elements
of the rebellion have therefore disappear
ed, and the independent Cuban govern
ment, if weak, would at least be in the
hands of responsible men,"

Mr.. Mckinley would surrender his indie
pendence as executive and enter upon
the incalculable risk of war with
Spain"
The Standards Madrid correspondent
says:
The feeling is unanimous that America
is treating Spain unfairly by trying to
drive her, by systematic, violent and un.
warranted provocation, into an unequal
struggle, simply because the United
States has obtained the assurance that
European powers will only give Spain
purely platonic sympathies.
The tone of the press is striking. The
republican papers are as bitter against
any surrender as the Catholic and Carlist
press.
Ell Dia comments that the commercial
classes cease all relations with the
United States with a view to stopping
all the disputes between the countries.
The provincial press is even more ener-
getic. The anti-American feeling exists
at Barcelona, Biboa and other towns.

Although pecuniary loss at
ankfort was great, not a life was
lost there. Destltution and des-
truction meet the eye at every
turn, and the stricken country is
bowed down with misery and woe.
Many are rendered absolutely pen

carried cyclone insurance, and ma
ny escaped with only the clothes
they wore.

heaviest, havoc wrought was most

rything possible for the sufferers.

issued.

Bcdbugs and GOidbugs.

Equal parts alum, salt, turpen-
tine, coal oil. Good to kill bed
bugs. THAT'S fact.)
Here is a recipe which is good
to kill gold bugs:
Legal tender, free silver, COM
mon sense and honest voters.
The bedbug preys on humanity
eight hours out of twentyfour.
The goldbug seven days out of the
week.
Cold weather discourages the
former while it increases the APP
petite of the latter.
The bedbug is silent and retir-
ing /; the gold-bug is boistrrous
and conceited.
The bedbug was created during
the six days, and hence must be
the work of the Creator. The
goldbug appeared since that period,
hence he is a product of the dew
lis workshop.
The goldbug is like his creator,
he hates the truth worse than the
bcdbug hates salt and turpentine.
