THEY srcr,RE AN ADJOURNMENT UNTIL MONDAY
AGAINST MR. sHERMAN's PRoTEsT-THE
TREASURY TO REPORT on ENFORCE
MENT OF THE NEUTRALITY LAWS
YESTERDAYS DEBATE IN
THE SENATE.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRTBuNE.1

THE
10y TELEGRAPH TO THE TRTBUNE1
Washington. March 2O.-rhc Cuban confer
ence report was again discussed to-day In the
Senate for three or four empty and prontiess
hours and then went over until Monday MI
Sherman and the other members or the Foreign
Relations Committee were anxious to prevent
the usual adjournment over Saturday. and
fought stoutly against the idea of taking a
two days recess when Mr.. German made the
customary Friday notion The committee
was beaten by AZ votes to %, and some OF the
opponents Of the pending resolutions were in
clned 10 accept TIE result an indication or
the growing spirit Of disaffection in the Senate
toward the conference report. Mr. Sherman
and his supporters refused however, to con-
sider to-day's vote as anything Of test OF
strength.
II il understood that the Secretary Of the
Treasury will transmit to the Senate early next
week a report on the measures taken py the
Treasury Department for the enforcement Oh
the neutrality laws. which report VIII inciude
copies Of all instructions issued TO oiicers Oh
the Revenue Cutter Service to prevent the or
ganization and departure OF hlipusterihg eH-
neditions This report is made in response to
resolution introduced bv Senator Call OF
Florida calling for detailed information on the
subject This correspondence may De accom-
panied by a message from the President giving
his views on the situation. but this Is Thought
to be extremely improbable. The report refers
SOLELY to the steps taken by the Treasury De-
partment for the strict observance OF the neu-
trality laws and has no bearing on the military
situation in Cuba
American interests have already suffered seri-
ously by reason Of the instruction. and large
number of claims have been filed for compehsa-
tion for property destroyed by military opera
tions in Cuba These claims are against spain
and have been fled at the State Department
and at the Spanish Legation They are Tor all
classes of damages alleged to have been IN
Hcted on the property OF American non-coin-
batants and aggregate. according to one au-
thority. nearly sSOOOo,OOo. Most OF the claims
are for the destruction OF sugar crops ana ma
chinery. and Others are for buildings, horses
cattle fowls and all kinds Of domestic am
mails. etc TIL. depredations are said 10 nave

as by the insurgents

The Indications are that the amount carried by
the appropriation bills Of this session will be some
thing less than those Of the first session OF the last
Congress. The Pension Appropriation bill Is $l0,-
100000 less than that Of two years ago. The Indian
bill. although slightly larger than when reported
by the committee Is likely to be $200o0O less than
that finally passed two years ago. and there Is
important increase in any other bill except that
for the support OF the Postotice Department, which
naturally increases year by year as the population
and business Of the country Increase The bills

Embezzlemrnt Alleged

YIN. X. Atwood OF Fairfield. was
araigued before Trial Justice Bachelor,
Friday, on complaint Of Vim. f. Phuney.
agent of the Standard Fertilizer Com
pany of Portland, charged with embcz-
element oil 500 from that company.
+. F. Danforth appeared for the state
and Forrest Goodwin for the respondent.
Justice Bachelor found probable cause
and held Mr.. Atwood in the sum OF
$1,000. O. A. Salley and L. f. Libby
became his bondsmen.
1t appeared in the examination that
the Standard Fertilizer Company had
sold Mr.. Atwood goods at different
times, that there had been 10 settlement
since 1893, that he had given the stand
ard company several notes and two
mortgages on his house and that e50J
debt remained due the company. The
defence was that the Standard Fertilizer
Co mad recourse against the respondent
in civil action for debt but not in the
manner sought.
Mr.. Atwood has twice lost his bar
by fire recently and also lost hal
interest in a trotting horse valued a
several thousand dollars.

The Monroe Doctrine RecOg-
niZed.
Springfield Republican,

Whatever else may have happened to
it, it is certain that the Monroe doctrine
has within the past II months taken on
IA much less uebuous conformation so
far As our own nation is concerned that
ii has hardened aud crystallizrd As we'll
aS extended its scope. 1t has taken such
a position in our foreign policy that il
needs no act of Congress to give it pre-
tige or strength. As for foreign natio3 :
in general their attitude also toward
this doctrine has changed since Decem-
Der last. There is now manifest ten
dencv on their part to get the Monroe
doctrine into International law rather
than to keep it out. This Is because
they see that it has come to stay, aud
that it will be better in the long run for
themselves to have it defined by inter
national agreement and nailed down
within definite bounds in the text books,
than to leave it subject to any interpreted
ton an American government may
choose 10 put upon it. So the struggle
OF the future may DE to get it into inter
national law instead of to keep it out .
which must impress every one as IA
curious sequel to Lord Salsbury's recent
objection to the doctrine as "a novel prin-
ciple which was never recognized before.
and which has not since been accepted
by the government of any other coun-
try.
