MUST BE CONSIDERED APART.
Cuban Appropriation and BelIigerenc,
Resolution.

Washington, May 19.-Speaker Reed
has call ed a meeting of the committee
on rules for tomorrow morning for the
purpose of framing a rule under which
the House will consider the resolution
passed by the Senate to appropriate $50 :
600 for the relief Of American citizens
in Cuba. The Republican leaders have
canvassed the Cuban question and de-
cided practically that the House should
adopt the Senate resolution tomorrow and
ignore the question of recognition of bel
ligereRcy.
Mr.. Bailey, the Democratic leader, is
determined to present a minority report
from the rules committee, which he says
will permit him to offer Senator Nor
gan's resolution as an amendment to the
one making the appropriation. 1t is
expected, however, that the Speaker will
declare the minority report out of order
Such q ruling will result in flibuster
by the Democrats if they carry out their
present purpose. In anticipation of this,
the Republicans have telegraphed to ali
members of the party who are out of the
city to return tomorrow so that the party
will have quorum to do business with
out the assistance of the Democrats and
Populists.
The Republican say they are willing to
have resolution for belligerency con-
sidered under proper conditions, but re-
gard the relief appropriation as bust
ness question which should not be COM
plicated with the greater proposition
Many Republicans are in favor of recog-
milton of the Cubans, but the party viii
be probably united in it's support of the
rule. The leaders fear that any action
on Cuba at this time might hinder the
progress of the tariff bill
Mr.. Bailey says he believes recognition
would lead to settlement of the war in
short time and that the House should
be allowed to vote on the question.

TRAMPs' FEARFUL REvE NGE.

News has reached here of the burning to
his wife and three children, living on
White Oak Creek, across in Tennessee,
on Monday night. Some tramps had
asked permission of Biddle to build a
fire in his barn to keep themselves warm
during the night. Biddle refused to allow
them to do this and ordered them to
leave. The same night Biddle's house
was destroyed by fire and his wife and
three children were roasted alive 1t is
supposed the tramps applied the torch to
the house out of revenge.
