offense in Spain. 1t was the houses own
resolutions, not the senate resolutions,
that the vote was taken on Monday
and that were passed. Here they are,
lest our readers should have forgotten
them:
q : Resolved by the house of represen-
tatives the senate concurring), That, in
the opinion of congress, a state OF war
exists in Cuba, the parties to which are
entitled to belligerent rights, and the
United States should observe strict neu-
trality between the belligerents.
80. Resolved, That congress deplores
the destruction of life and property
caused by the war now waging in that
island; and believing that the only per-
manent solution of the contest, equally
in the interest of SPAIN the people of
Cuba and other nations, would be in the
establishment of a government by choice
of the people of Cuba, it is the sense OF
congress that the government of the
United States should use its good offices
and friendly influence to that end.
49, Resolved, That the United States
has not interviewed in struggles between
any European governments and their
colonies on this continent; but, from the
very close relation between the people
of the United States and those of Cuba
in consequence of it's proximity and the
extent of the commerce between the two
losses upon the people of the United
States that congress is of the opinion
that the government of the United States
should be prepared to protect Legitimate
interests of Americans by intervention II
necessary.
"a Resolved, That congress pledge its
support to the president in carrying out
the foregoing resolutions"
These resolutions were adopted by the
house by the extraordinary consentient
vote of 263 to Ia vote approximating
much more closely to unanimity than the
senate's GA to 6; for whereas the senates
vote was vote of 10 to in favor, the
houses vote is a vote of Is to in favor.
This vote must convince Spain and Eu-
rome that they have to deal not alone with
Senators Morgan and Lodge and the So
called LIMOGES, but with all the people OF
the United States except Boutelle OF
Maine and the Mobile Register.

The State Herald compliments the Biz
mingham Courier on its splendid souve-
mir carnival edition. The picture OF Mr..
f. Lesser it's editor, adorns the first
mage. To Mr.. Lesser more than any one
else is due the success of the great car
nival. The journal is printed in both
nictures and descriptions of the princi-
nal floats. 1t also contains handsome
mixtures of still handsomer men, who de-
voted their time and talent to the success
of the carnival. The paper is gotten up
in a neat, attractive style and is well
worth preserving as souvenir.
Col. j. H. Bankhead, member of con-

Bankhead is one of the ablest and most

is thoroughly familiar with all the politi-
cal questions of the day, and those who
embrace the opportunity of hearing him
speak Saturday night will be highly en-
tertained and well paid for the time spent
in going out to hear him.

C0PTIC AT LAST.
Fears for the Safety of the Steamer
Set to Rest Yesterday.
Was Guaranteed Eight Days in
Nagasaki on Account of Black
Plague in China.

: The o. & o. S. S. Coptic, Sealby, COM
mander, was telephoned off Waianae at
2:30 p. N. yesterday and hauled along
side the Pacific Mail wharf at about
6 p. m, with clean bill of health.
Through the kindness of C. Lacy Good
rich, the purser, the following report
Of the voyage was obtained: Sailed from
Hong Kong on May 18th and arrived
at Nagasaki five days later; at the lat
ter port the Coptic was held in quaran-
tine for the space of eight days, it not
being deemed fit to allow her to depart
on account of the prevalence of the
dread black plague in ports of China,
along whose coast she had just come;
sailed from Nagasaki on May 26th,
making Kobe on the next day and Yoke
hama on the Both, arriving off port at
4 so p. M, June Sth; had pleasant wea-
Their all the way and made the passage
from Yokohama in ten days and thirty
five minutes.
The COptic brought several cabin and
218 steerage passengers for this port,
the latter being composed of 216 Chi
nese and 2 Japanese. Freight for Homo
lulu amounts to about 233 tons. There
are 50 cabin, 301 Chinese and 10 Jap
anese for San Francisco.

LINE JUICE, But NO SUGAR.
Peculiar Suit Filed by the Crew
of the Viking.

For the first time since his ap-
pOintment, United States District
Judge Morrow has been asked TO
decide upon the question Of the IL
ability Of shipowners for a short
allowance of provisions TO the
crew on a voyage, says the :. T.
Examiner. Its an old privilege,
established by law, that the own
ers of vessels may be sued by the
crew to recover damages for fur
nishing inadequate provisions.
but it is believed that this is the
nrst time that the local Federal
courts have been requested to
pass upon the matter.
The point is involved in a libel
fled by the crew Of the schooner
Viking, which recently arrived
rom a trading cruise TO the Car
cline Islands. The Viking had a
very pleasant voyage, but if all
the crew assert in their complaint
against the owners of the vessel,
the J. F. Cunningham Company of
this city, be true, their palates
we're not dilated with any table
luxuries. The sailors have
asked for 81. 1850 damages to al
lay their hunger and injured feel
ings.
When the Viking left Kussaie,
in the Caroline group, on March
9TH last, with Joseph Peterson,
w. G. Sievers. John johnson, r. |
Carroll and J. KOttia as members |
of her crew, the larder was in a
condition, according to
the complaint of the libellants.
There was but bread enough for
eight days, and the supply of |
meat was not sufficient for over |
twenty-five days. The vessel was
short of sugar, so short that the
men had to drink their lime juice
without ;. sweetening. Vinegar
md pease were absent altogether
from. the bill of fare. The bread
supply was ampIified by mixing
ne -four with cocoa cOpra, and !
he short meat supply was over
come by allowing each man but
lalf a pound a day. The sugar
was similarly treated. The mo-
nent the vessel arrived in port the
rev laid their grievance before
Attorney III. w. Hutton, with the
'esult that suit for damages has
Deen brought against the j. f.
Cunningham Company. Each
nan sues for $50 for his bread
supply reduction, $50 for the
short allowance of meat, SAG for
he sugar that was not in the lime
Dease, SAG for the absence of vim
gar, while the short sugar ra-
ions are fixed at S29.5O. The
,ase will probably establish a
in maritime law.
