preparation bill. Mr.. Boutelle explained
The provisions Of the bill, and gave his

Mr.. Cummings, Democrat of New York

The Cuban Resolutions.

Washington, March 25.-After session
Of three-quarters of an hour this after
noon the conference on the Cuban reso-
lutions adjourned until tomorrow with
out reaching conclusion. The drift of
the discussion showed that there was a
firm intention on the part of the COM
mittee to report resolutions that would
meet the approval of both Houses. There
appeared more favorable feeling to-
ward the Senate resolutions this after
noon, it having been made plain to the
managers on the part of the House that
the House resolutions could not pass
the Senate. 1t is believed that ultimately
the House will accept the Senate res O..
lutions. The conferees hope. to settle the
matter finally tomorrow.
When the matter of accepting the Sem
ate resolutions was being discussed, one
momber of the committee took the
ground that this government had no
right to ask another government to recog-
nize the Independence of one of It's
colonies in insurrection. 1t was insisted
that this would be called casus belli. In
answer to this it was shown that when
the Cubans were in insurrection before,
our minister to Spain, Gen. Sickles, was
instructed to use his goodly offices to Sc
cure such recognition at the hands of
Spain, and Spain took no offense at tn 9
action. The condition of affairs in the
Senate was discussed. 1t was made
plain that there was q small, but deter
mined minority, headed by Senator Hale,
that did not propose to permit the Gu
ban resolutions to ever come to vote II
they could prevent It, The COMMITTEES

Used Detectives As Cats Paws.

Paris. March 25.-The trial of Dupas
and Rogers, formerly officials of the de-
tective service, charged with selling pro-
fessional secrets, and failing to arrest
Emile Arton in connection with the Pan
anna frauds, when the latter was in Ven-
ice, in defiance of orders to take him into
custody, ended today in the aquit5al of
both defendants. The defense set up
against the argument, that the govern
ment had not wished Arton to be arrest
ed despite the orders issued for his ap-
prehension, and the trial of Dupas and
Rogers was merely an attempt on the
part of the authorities to make the weak
suffer for the strong.
