MAY MEAN WAR.
Senate Extends BelIigerent Rights
to the Struggling Cuhans.

Washington, May 20.-The Senate this
afternoon, by n vote of Al to IA, passed
Senator Nlorgan's resolu ton granting
belligerent rights to the Cuban patriots.
The matter came up on Morgan's resolu.
ton and Senator Fairchild offered sub
stitute, which was voted down bya ma
jority OF two to one.
The Senate WINS then face to face with
the resolution of the Senator from Ala
bania Senator Hale, from Maine, pro-
tested that it would mean war with Spain,
but his protest had no effect, and q ma
jority of the Senators were anxious to
express their sympathy with Cuba.
Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, also
protested vigorously against the Senate
taking any action, but the tide of sympa-
thy could not be stemmed, and the reso-
luton was then put to vote and
adopted by the majority named.
The resolution now goes to the House,
and If that body passes it. which is con-
coded on al sides, tle President will have
to take II decided stand in the Cuban
matter. Friends of Cuba say he will sign
it,
The substitute offered by Senator Fair
banks was to ask the Pre- si,ient to offer
the Intervention of the United States to
end the war.

Major John w. Daniel addressed the
committee on behalf of Lynchburg, and
made one of his usual forcible speeches;
put his oratory was of no avail
w. A. Glasgow, Jr., then took the floor
in behalf of Roanoke, after which the
balloting commenced, four OF which were
taken, as follows:
First ballot-Roanoke, 10; Lynchburg,
s. Richmond, 8; Norfolk, 10; Staunton, 8.
Second ballot-Roanoke, 90; Lynch
burg, 8; Richmond, 6; Norfolk, 10.
Third ballot-Roanoke, IS: Lynchbury
IL Norfolk, 10.
Fourth BALLOT Roanoke, 80; Norfolk,

Norfolk was really the only dangerous
competitor that Roanoke had in the race.
and before the fourth BALLOT was taken
the hustlers from the Magic City felt n
trif1e discouraged. But upon that ballot
being taken Lynchburg threw her entire
strength to Roanoke and the victory was
won.

KILLED THE BABY.
But the Head of the House Escapes from
Ream's Terrible Purpose.


Lafayette, March 2.-Walter Ream is
in Jail here charged with the terrible
crime of murder, his victim being the
I3 months old child of the Hayes family
with whom Ream was boarding. DR..
Couch was called to the childs bedside
at 7 o'clock this morning and half an
hour later the little sufferer died, after
minutes of terrible convulsions. Ream
purchased stryChinine at the local drug
store noon yesterday, saying that he
wanted it for killing cats. The theory Of
the prosecution is thathe aimed at others
than the child and thought TO kill the en-
tire family by poisoning the coffee Mr.
Hayes tested the beverage and, finding
it bitter. threw out the brew and the
family escaped, with the exception OF
the child. The motive for this terrible
crime, if any was committed, is not ap-
parent, but Lafayette is full of rumors.
Coroner TrezIse and Deputy District At
torney Duncan have arrived from Boul
der and are conducting an inquest this
afternoon. The mothers apparent un-
concern is causing no little adverse conf
ment and illicit relations with Ream are
being bruited about. Did Ream aim at
Hayes, the better to secure the latter's
