Agreement to Substitute Regarding
Americans in Cuba.

WASHINGTON, d. c., February o.
The House Foreign Affairs Committee this
morning agreed 10 the substitute for the
several resolutions that had been re-
ferred TO IL calling upon the President
for ali information not previously sent
to Congress bearing upon the arrest I'M
prisonment, and treatment OF American
citizens in Cuba. The substitute was
adopted without division.
Favorable action was also taken upon
the resolution directing the Secretary or
State TO furnish the committee with the
names Of all aliens holding consular
places under the government
Similar favorable action was taken
upon the resolution calling Tor lniornla-
tion respecting the effect of the Executive
order which gives precedence to appoint
ments in the consular service to State
Department officials.

II was also agreed that a special meet
ing of the committee should be called 10
consider the Sanguilly case as soon as 1t
shall be disposed Of by the Senate COM
mittee on Foreign Relations.
The Senate Committee on Foreign heia-
tions held a special meeting this morn
ing for the purpose or again considering
the RESOLUTION, ItpOLlSt =,
str,ctinp the President TO demand the
immediate release of Julio sanguiliy, an
American citizen, now confined In prison
i'm Cuba. This meeting was forced by
the attitude of members Of the Committee
on Appropriations, who, through Chair
man Allison, gave notice yesterday after
noon that all business must give way 10
the appropriation bills. The committee
on Foreign Relations believes mat the
situation in Cuba demands the attention
of the Senate fully as much as DO the
annronr,ation measures especially in view
of the treatment of Sanguiliy' ana the
repeated violations OF the treaty rights OF
Americans in the island.
The case was carefully discussed this
morning, and the committee reached the
unanimous conclusion that the senate
could afford to wait no Longer io' spa'n'
to keep her promise. made to secretary
Olney. 10 release Sanguilly. and the ue-
cision was reached to insist upon tne
consideration and passage OF tne res .,nr
ton. to the exclusion OF app'opiia ''o"
measures and everything else.

One Reply.

MR.. EDITOR:-Youri inquiry of even
date is: Where are the voters?" With
the manifest advantage of shaping
your own question, you fail in a col
umn to answer it.
The voters, Mr.. Editor, are waiting
for an opportunity to vote. The selec-
ton of a House, which cannot have any
influence with a Senate already seated
or a Cabinet independent of the Rep
resentatiyes, affords no such chance
Under the present circumstances, a
vote means nothing; amounts to moth
ing; is nothing. 1t can have no effect
As a student of several varieties Of
Government, the situation or the con-
dition or the method here seems to
me meet and proper. Our admirable
Constitution is serving its purposes.
Just what utility there could be in
the exhibition voting you so ardently
claim to desire l cannot imagine.
This is not a voting Republic, thanks
to the foresight and sound sense of it's
founders. If it was, it would have the
intellects voted out Of it in a hurry.
Your idea that the United States is
looking out this way for voters is
unique.
Finally, again, the voters" (what
comprehensive world are here, to some
extent, but there is nothing for them
to do. You, then, sir, have the onerous
task of instructing them.

PROTEST WITHDRAWN.
Captain Thompson Decides TO
Let Matters Stand.


A meeting of the baseball league was
called for yesterday noon but when the
members had gathered at the usual
place. it was found unnecessary. Hav-
ing learned through hearsay that the
protest on one of Umpire Adams de-
cisions last Saturday, had been with
drawn, Captain Thompson was seen
and, in response TO a question, replied:
The consideration of my protest has
been indefinitely postponed. 1 saw
Harry Whitney this morning and, in
talking over the situation, he said that
the best thing to do would be to lay
the protest aside. The decision of the
umpire, made in perfect good faith,
would have to rest as final. If there
was a mistake, it was simply an error
OF Judgment Besides that, 1 found
that there were really no witnesses
who could swear positively on the
points made in the protest. Yes, you
may consider that the protest has been
