designated by the National Academy of
Science, is embraced in the following
letter, which has just been submitted
by the commission to the Secretary of

Legislation relating to reserved for
est land of the public domain, which

rules and regulations as he may make
for their care.
''Second-The establishment of per-
manent Forest Bureau in the Depart
ment of the Interior, to be composed
Of trained officers to administer, main
tain and improve the reserved forest
lands.
.'Third-The appointment of a COM
mission to institute, as rapidly as pos
sible under the supervision of the Di-

lions should be reopened to entry and
sale.
"Fourth-To authorize the Secretary

growth and improvements of forests
on reservations, for the sale of timber,
firewood and fencing from them to the
actual settlers in and adjacent to the
reservations, and to owners of mines
legally located therein for use in such
mines, granting permits to sawmill
owners to enter the reservations for
the purpose of manufacturing such
lumber as may be sold to actual set
tiers in and adjacent to the reserva-
tons and to owners of mines located
therein; for allowing actual settlers
timber for their immediate personal
use; for allowing the public to enter
and cross the reservations; for grant
ing to the County Commissioner the

that the reservations be opened to To-
cation of mining claims under the gen
eral mineral laws"

Numerous Stormy Passages and Per-
sonal Charges.
Senator Morgan Declares That In
stead of Sending a Lawyer to Cuba
to Investigate the Case of Ruiz,
the Administration Should Send a
Ship of War to Havana to Demand
Redress.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Much bad
blood was developed in the Senate to-
day over the Cuban question, and there
We're numerous stormy passages and
acrimonious personal charges.
Early in the day Morgan of Ala bama
called up his resolution declaring that
a state OF war existed in Cuba, and
recognizing both parties as belligerents.
He spoke for some time in a dispaSsion-
ate manner of the resolution, but was
aroused by Hale of Maine to series
of sharp retortS. 1t led to the declar-
alton by Morgan that instead of send
ing a lawyer to Cuba to investigate
the case CT DR.. Ruiz, as was contem-
plated, the Administration would do
we'll to send a ship of war to Havana
to demand redress.
At another point Hale questioned
Morgan's statement that Cuban pris-
ons were stuffed" with American pris-
oners, declaring that the information
reaching him (Hale) showed that no
such condition existed. Morgan asked
who this information came from, and
then holly asserted he knew where it
came from, and the world knew where
it came from, as the Senator from
Maine had not denied that he was in
communication with the Spanish au-
thorities.
Hale Indignantly denied that his in
formation came from Spanish sources,
and said it was furnished in every
item by American citizens.
The strain occasioned by this charge
and denial was relieved by the expira-
ton of the morning hour, which cut off
the debate. The Morgan resolution
lost it's place and went to the bottom
of the calendar, but Morgan will con-
tinue his speech tomorrow, and has
given notice of a motion to proceed
with the Cuban resolution to a final
vote.
Most Of the day was given to the
bankruptcy bill, Stewart of Nevada
speaking in opposition. The discuss
ion drifted to the financial question,
Chandler and Stewart having a dis
cussion en- bimetalhsm.
During the day Earl CD of South
Carolina introduced resolution for
the immediate reorganization of SEN
ate committees, and the filling Of all
vacancies. He spoke briefly for the
first time since entering the Senate, on
the injustice of keeping the new Sena-
tors from committee service. The res
olution went over until tomorrow.
Minister Hatch of Hawaii and Mr..
Thurston, the special representative
from that country, We're visitors in the
diplomatic gallery of the Senate to-
day.
