on the question by presenting a minori.
ty report from the committee on rules
which will make it in order to offer the
substance of the Morgan resolution as
an amendment.
Mr.. Dingley said today that a minori-
ty report could not be made to the House
unless it proposed matters germane to
the majority report. He doubted, he
said, whether proposition to recognize
the insurgents as belligerents would be
considered germane to an appropriation
for the relief of American citizens
Mr.. Dalzell, a member of the commit
tee on rules, took the same view of the
matter.
1t is likely that Speaker Reed will de-
clare a minority report out of order.
The Democrats, however, are determined
to bring the House to a vote ON the ques-
ton of recognition of Cuban belligerency
Mr.. Hit says that the Republicans are
willing to meet that question again, al
themselves in favor of it in the last
House. They do not intend, however,
to complicate a simple resolution for an
appropriation with the question of bel
ligerency, he says.
Mr.. Bailey said today that the Republi-
cans did not want to meet the question
with a Republican President, who would
be put in the position of enforcing OF
dlsregarding the recommendation of Con-
gress. He added, when asked if a minori.
ty report would be in order, that the
Democrats would be tempted to repeat
the scenes of the 51st Congress if the
Speaker refused to allow consideration
OF such report from the committee on
rules.

"To the Senate and the House of Repre-.
sentatives:
@Official information from our consuls
in Cuba establishes the fact that large
number of American citizens in the
island are in state of restitution, suf.
fering for want of food and medicines
This applies particularly to the rural dis
triets of, the central and eastern parts.
1.-THE agricultural classes have been
forced from their farms into the nearest
towns where they are without work OF
money. The local authorities of the
several towns, however, kindly disposed,
are unable to relieve the needs Of their
own people and, are altogether power
less to help our citizens.
"The last report of Consul General Lee
estimates that six to eight hundred arc
without means of support. l have as
sured him that provision would be made
at once to relieve them. To that end ]
recommend that Congress make an ap.
preparation of not less than $4,000 to be
Immediately available for use under di.
rection of the Secretary of State.
sit is desirable that part of the sum
which may be appropriated by Congress
