CAMERON'S RESOLUTION.


WASHINGTON. Jan. 4.-Senator CuIlom,
of Illinois, a member of the committee on
foreign relations. returned to Washington
to-day. The senator was asked for his
views concerning the Cuban resolution and
what he thought of the suggestion that it
should be postponed for the present. He
says that he knows nothing as to the in
tention of the committee on foreign rela-
tions. but indicates that i'm case the oppo-
sition to the resolution should be strong
enough il could be defeated as many other
measures are defeated. by consumption of
time in discussion of the subject. Senator
Cullom says If ii appears that ii is the
purpose of the opposition to the measure
TO defeat the resolution. no good would be
accomplished in pressing ii and keeping it
before the Senate. While he voted for the
resolution. he is not particular as to the
form it takes or what it should declare, his
object being, as he declared in his speech
early in the session. to have some action
taken to bring the brutal war in Cuba to
an end. Senator Cullom thinks il not UNI
likely that steps i'm that direction are being
taken, and possibly something may be done
which will terminate hostilities. 1t is now
generally believed that before the Senate
takes any action that the committee on
foreign relations will desire to confer with
a view of determining the prospects of the
passage of the ameron resolution, and
also as to how much opposition may be
expected.

The first skirmish between the rival candi-
dates friends took place Tonight in the
House Republican caucus. Perry NJ. Lyttle,
of Huntingdon, was elected chairman over
Ward r. Bliss. of Delaware, by "a vote of
80 to II. Neither side is willing TO admit
that this was a fair test of strength.
The Penrose people generally, though,
voted for Lyttle, while Bliss received the
support of many active Wanamaker MEM
bers. The caucus was called TO order by

a COngressnaan-EIect Returns from
Cuba and Discusses the Situation.

G~REENSBURG. Pa. Jan. 4.-CongresS-
man-elect Edward r. Robbins, who has just
returned from Cuba. says: 1T is impossi-
BILE to get reliable news direct from Cuba
because of the censorship exercised over all
matter. even private letters. The cause for
which the Cubans are struggling is the
same for which our fathers fought in our
war for independence. The Cubans have
no voice in their government. and there is
no such thing as a jury trial there. Tax
alton is unbearable. In 1894 SAG, 600. 900 was
wrung from the unfortunate Cubans M
carried to Spain. and the peasants and
farmers are unable TO stand the strain,
hence the rebellion. When the present rev.
olution broke out Cuba was being taxed to
support an army Of 1900 men, while in real
ity there were less than four thousand. In
the entire island there is not a Cuban
nor a foreigner, except Spanish. who is
not in sympathy with the revolutionary
movements. The cities are under control OF
the Spanish. but the whole country is un-
der control of the insurgents. The plan of
General Weyler is not TO subdue the Gu
bans. but to exterminate them.
Ten or twelve Americans are now con-
fined I'm Moro Castle. 4 talked to Sanguilly,

his lawyer was imprisoned, and he was

Springer informs me hat at the second
trial there was no evidence. against San,
gully. yet he was sentenced to perpetual
Imprisonment in chains.
Spain cannot conquer Cuba. The time
has come when delay on the part of the
United States is unreasonable in the matter
of protecting the citizens of the United
States now confined i'm Cuban prisons and
also protecting American property and the
$5O,O00.000 of American capital invested on
the island. This is n duty We owe our
citizens. We also owe a duty to humanity
