SPANS SAD PLIGHT.
PacIhcation Of Cuba . Fiction Of Gem
oral Weyler's.

HAVANA, May la.-There is a grim
humor in the official announcements as
to the state Of instruction and tho
outlook which causes q sneer in Ha-
vana. where food Is scarce and sound
money scarcer. As the situation grows
worse at every point, the palace re-
ports become more r~ose-colored and
more at war with the facts. For in
stance. for a centcn. which Is worth
s.. 80 in Spanish gold, one may get the
equivalent Of Sill. 80 in paper money to-
day in Havana. 1t is significant that
the paper money of Spain is at o
greater discount at this moment, when
the reforms are said to be ut hand,
than at any time since the war began.
The fact Is, no one pays any atten-
ton TO General Weyler's proclamations
about the peace he says he has brought
about, or to his talk about the golden
time that Is coming, now that the
queen regent has been kind enough to
sign the reforms. These things are
mere sound. hut the paper money Is
o grim fact and the determination with
which all persons refuse to have it
thrust upon them at par has forced
even General Weylcr TO recognize that
the money question Is superior to his
decree, and to abandon his declared in
t~cntion of Furnishing anyone who
looked twice at these ''shinplasters. Z"

WASHINGTON, May I2.-When the
Senate met to-day Mr.. Gear Of Iowa,
chairman of the Pacific railroad COM
mittcc, said he would not press his
motion 10 proceed with the Pacific
railroad bill to-day, but would urge 1t
on Thursday.
The Morgan Cuban resolution was
then taken up, and Mr.. Morrill, Of
Vermont spoke in opposition to
IL. lie said that the purpose Of
ali the Cuban resolutions, including
that of Mr.. Morgan, was to wrcst
from the President the right he alone
hitherto had exercised of recognizing
the b~elliycrent rights or the indepcnd-
ence of nations. Congress had no such
power aud it's exercise would be con
trary to all presidents. Belligerent
rights of revolters should not have rec
ognition based merely on sympathy,
but ne ju 'tice and law.
Mr.. Foraker of Ohio, speaking in
favor Of reference Of the resolution to
the committee on foreign relations,
said that he know the administration
had it's policy on this question.
Mr.. Allison asked what the policy of
the administration was and Mr.. For
aker replied that it was to ascertain
beyond peradvcnturc the exact situa-
ton in Cuba. II had sem its duly au-
thorizcd and accredited agent there to

wAsmNoToN. May i2.-Thc House
yesterday resumed the transaction Of
public business. which had been sus-
pended since the Indian appropriation
bill was sent to conference three weeks
ago. The consideration of the senate
amendments to the sundry civil appro-
priation bill was entered upon unSer n
special order providing for n recess
each day until disposed OF. MIR. Simp.
son Of Kansas pursued his tactics Of
the last few weeks, attempting to har.
ass the majority with points of no
quorum, but without success aud the
Democratic lack of harmony on the
subject of party policy was again in
evidence.
Mr.. Mcmillan and Mr.. Bland both
criticised the method Of procedure
pursued by the majority. The former
said il marked the continued decadencc
of the rights and powers of individual
members, and the latter declared that
II was m outrage to force legislation
through the House without cons.dera.

tee appointed to examine IL.
In the Indian appropriation bill, he
said. two or three jobs had been found.
The most conflicting statements were
made on the floor, and members could
not vote intelligcntly. lie said he
would continue to oppose and protest
against such procedure.
On the question Of the adoption Of
the order, the Democrats divided, Mr..
Bailey and his followers voting with
the Republicans, and several Of the
Democrats, including MIR. Mcmillan
and Mr.. Bland, with the Populists,
against the order. Tho vote resulted,

NO PRESSURE BY HOBART.
The President on the THrifY Bill
Will Not Limit Debate.


WASHINGTON, May IA few Re-
publican senators have been quietly
discussing during the past few days
the feasibility of a plan whereby tho
debate on the tariff bill could be linn
tied by the forcible adoption Of an
agreement Under the ordinary con-
.struction Of the rules any resolution Of
that nature is just rs dcbatable as the
tariff bill itself, but some Of the soma
tors had an idea hat they might pos
sibly secure the assistance OF the vice
president. They knew that he had
promised, in his inaugural address, to
expedite business, and they were Sc
riously contemplating a plan whereby
he could bring this expedition into
practice.
Inquiry, however. shows that the
senators have planned in vain. The
Vice President will not be a party to
any violent infraction of the rules. He
made this statement to-day: 1.-THE
tariff bill will be passed by the Senate
in orderly procedure. There will be
40 attempt, SO far as / am concerned,
10 break down the customs and pro-
cedures of the Senate. I'm frank to
say that l do not believe the tariff bill
will be passed as soon as l would like
IL to be, but this will have no influence
OF my action. hope, after the tariff
bill has passed, that there may DO
some reform"
Have you any idea how long the
bill will DO before the Senator"
you can tell that as we'll as ! can.
1t is quite evident now that it will not
be taken up as soon as was antici-
pated, and the delay has an apparently
valid excuse. There will be consider
able debate on the general principles
of the tariff, for ammunition must be
supplied for the fall campaign. There
will he more general speech-making, l
imagine, than most people expect be-
fore the details Of the bill are taken

will be sung, composed especially for the

1t is hoped, will produce great discom-

since they are more remarkable for
rhyme than for reason. Hollins, Vir-
ginia College and Roanoke College will
all lie largely represented, and doubtless
the crimson and blue of Allegheny will
have many ardent supporters from those
institutions. One of the yells that will
be heard frequently is as follows.

THE "GREEN CUP, DECIDED.


The cup which was offered some time
ago by E. S. Green to the Allegheny In
stitute and Roanoke teams, the team
winning two out of three games to get
the cup, has been given to the Roanokes
This decision WAS reached yesterday after
a good many conferences between the
managers of the two teams and Mr.
Green. 1t will be remembered by our
readers that there were only Two games
played, each team winning one. After
the last game Allegheny said that they
could not play any G.ore games, as it
would interfere with their football work,
unless they played last Saturday, but he
Roanokes would not play then on ac-
count of the bicycle races, which, they
claimed, would interfere materially with
the attendance at the game. The Roam
okes claimed the cup on the ground that
Allegheny challenged them .to three
games and by refusing to play the third
game they forfeited it, thereby giving
them the best two out of three. Public
opinion is, of course, divided as to the
business Of this decision. but under the
circumstances no other disposition of the
cup.corld have been made.
