COMING FOREIGN POLICY

WASHINGTON, d. G., February 26.---
In the senate the Indian appropriation
bill was taken up. An amendment
was offered so that the laws Of the In.
dian council shall be In force, unless
the same shall be disapproved by the
president. Before any disposition oi
the question was made, the presiding
officer laid before the senate the JOINT
resolution in relation to Julio San
gully. Mr.. Frye said q telegram had
been reserved showing that Julio San.
gully and his attorney acknowledged
the judgment 10 be just; that the pun
ishment was just; that they have with
drawn their appeal; that the queen
regent has signed the pardon and that
Sanguilly is free.
Mr.. Lodge, republican Of Mas
sachusetts, said that the Sanguiliy
case could not be disposed of by sneers.
There were many cases in which all
the information had been suppressed.
So far as the committee was concerned,
it had receivedl no information Of
Sanguilly's pardon. The case had
been considered by the committee Tor
more than month and had been post
poned from time to time at the request
Of tho state department, on the ground
that Spain had promised to pardon the
man; finally, tho committee reported
the resolution and it was debated by
the senate. Next morning, the cable
announces that Sanguilly had been
pardoned. The action of the senate
did it and the committee is sneered ct
for its efforts.
