Wellington. Jan. 6.-The Cuban qucs-
.,,r was under consideration in the Sem
~. ,o-day in the form of the two resoln-
ions offered yesterday by Mr.. Call, dem.
81 Florida-the one a simple resolution
osring on the Secretary of State for copies
- the correspondence in the matter of
Irro Sanguilly, an American citizen con-
5.mned by the Spanish authorities in Cuba
~, nerpetual Imprisonment in chains; and
tba other a joint resolution, instructing
tbs President to demand Sanguilly's inn
mediate release. The first was agreed to,
and the second was referred to the com
mttee on foreign relations. In long
snsech on the subject of these resolutions
tbe case of Charles Gown was discussed
mite as much as that of Sanguilly. The
statements of the Spanish officials that
Goyins death resulted from wounds re-
csived in battle were discredited; and the
assertion was repeated, on the authority
of person whom Mr.. Can did not name,
Int who, he said, was to be a member Of
haf naA
tied to a tree and cut to pieces with
machetes by a squad of cavalry riding
mast. The two cases, Mr.. Call said, were
types of what was occurring to hundreds
Of American citizens in Cuba; and it only
needed investigation by the Senate to
take the cover off that scene of BUTCH
cry"
As to a combination of European pow
ers against the United States, Mr.. Call
declared that there was no danger of such
thing in view of the effect which it
would have on the masses of the people
In the European countries, and that the
sympathies of mankind would be with the
American republic in such a struggle.
The Senate bill to amend the act repeal
ing the timber cutting law, was passed /;
also the House bill for the appointment by
brevet of active or retired officers of the
army.
An adverse report from the committee
on foreign relations on the claim of John
Waller, United States consul at NADIA
gascar, for damages by reason of his ar
rest and Imprisonment, was presented and
indefinitely postponed.
The Senate joint resolution requesting
the government of Great Britain to pardon
Mrs Florence Maybrick, which was re-
ported adversely last session, was taken
from the calendar, and indefinitely post
poned.
The House bill providing for free home
steads on the public lands in Oklahoma
TerItory-amended so as to apply to all
lands obtained from Indian tribes-was
taken up as the unfinished business and
was discussed for nearly two hours, and
went over till tomorrow without action
And then. at p. m, after brief execu-
tive session, the Senate adjourned until
Tomorrow.
In the executive session the committee
on foreign relations, through Senator
Lodge, submitted a favorable report on
certain extradition treaties with the
lOrange Free State and the Argentine re-
public. The request was made that i'm
mediate action be taken, as the state de-
|partment was anxious the treaties should
he ratified as soon as possible. Mr.. Chan
der, however, objected, on the ground
that the conventions were not printed, so
that the senators could read them. Ac-
ton was, therefore, postponed until to-
morrow
