Tangier, Dec. 1o.-The

Washington, Dec. Io.-Any
one hearing the speeches de-
Iivered in the senate on the
necessity OF the immediate re-
cognition of Cuba would sup
pose that congress would be-
fore the holidays recognize that
country. But in the house
there is much more Of a con-
sentative element on this ques-
ton than in the senate. ! have
the very best grounds for
knowing that the house com
mittee on foreign relations will
not, before the holidays at
least, bring in any resolution
for the recognition Of the Gu
bans. This comes straight.
One of the members Of that
committee wanted to 60 home
for the holidays, and desires to
leave at once. If the house
would probably have up this
subject he had to remain here.
He went to Hit and told him
of his anxiety to get home, and
said if there was no prospect
of the house getting into the
Cuban matter he would 60.
Hit, who is chairman of the
committee, told him he could
90. That settled the matter.
Hit controls the matter as far
as the house in concerned, and
his intimation was that nothing
would be done till after the
holidays unless there is some
change in the condition Of al
fairs on the island.

NO OFFICIAL NEWS

Washington, Dec. Io.-The
state department is still with
out direct official news OF the
reported killing of Maceo and
young Gomez in Cuba. Senior
de Lone, the Spanish minister
called at the department today
as is his custom on Thursdays,
and communicated to Secretary
Olney the cablegrams he had
received thus far bearing on
the event. He had nothing OF
later date than the cablegram
of yesterday from the Spanish
foreign Office confirming the
first report of Maceo's death,
which has already been given
to the press, and he now ex-
poets nothing further until the
mails come on hand.
