Intensely Excited.

The people of the Uuited States
are becoming I Intensely excited
through sympathy with the Cuban
patriots in their unequal struggle
to throw off the Spanish yoke.
Mass meetings are beingss!held in
various cities of the Union, sym
pathetic resolutions are being
passed and even enliStments Of re-
crafts are daily being made for
the Cuban army. but just how they
are to escape the efforts of our
government to enforce the neutral
ity laws, under its international
and treaty obligations and reach
the Island of Cuba, without being
arrested aud detained by Uncle
Sam, is yet an unsolved problem.
This sympathetic fever has had
its effect upon Congress, as is ev-
idenced by the number of resoln-
tons which have been introduced
according belligerent rights, rec
ognition of independence &c.. to
the insurgents.
The most vitriolic, however, OF
all these resolutions, is the one in
troduced by Senator Mills, of Tex
as, requiring the President to i'll
wade the Island of Cuba with the
Military forces of the United
States, take possession Of and oc-
cupy it until the people can estab-
lish government Of their own Sc
lection. OF course, no such meas
ure, involving war with a friendly
foreign power, can pass. The 9TH
ers are of more conservative and
pacific nature. The following by
Senator Cameron has been order
ed to be reported favorably by the
Senate Committee on Foreign Re.
la'ions. The vote of the Commit
tee was practically unanimous:
"J0int resolution acknowledg.
ing the independence of Cuba.
"Resolved by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America, in Con-
gress assembled, that the indie
pendence of the Republic of Cuba
he aud the same is hereby ac-
knowlcdged by the United States
Of America.
"Section 2. That the United
State will use its friendly offices
with the government Of Spain to
bring to ii close the war between
Spain and Cuba"

IMMIGRATION RESTRICTED

age of Is years who are unable to
read and write. Cubans comm o
to the U. S. during the contiuu.
ance of the war in the Island, are
excepted from the operations OF
the act. The bill will likely pass
the House also. What it's fate
may be when it reaches the Pres
ident, the prophet lives not who
can foretell. While it is rather
radical in its restrictions, it will
exert beneficial influence in tx.
Guiding the illiterate paupers from
