CUBAN QUEsTION PASSED.
No Action Taken by the Senate
Committee.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The fact
that the Cuban question was not con-
sidered at today's meeting of the SEN
ate committee of foreign relations is
taken as significant by the opponents
of the Cameron resolution. They con-
tend that if it had been the purpose Of
the committee, as such, to call up the
resolution for cons!dev alton in the sen
ate it would have been taken up at
today's meeting. Some members OF
the committee, most OF whom are Re
pUblicans, express the opinion that the
committee itself probably W II not press
the resolution. Other members are in
clined to await the return Of Senator
Cameron to the city before definitely
deciding on their course. Democratic
members of the committee friendly to
the resolution announce that they will
await the return to the city of Mr..
Cameron before they undertake to call
up the resolution. They indicate that
if he is still willing to press its consid-
Grafton they will support him. Sena-
tor Mills stated today that, while he
should probably wait upon Senator
Cameron, he would lose no opportunity
to urge a proper recognition Of the
rights of the struggling Cubans.

PASSENGERS AND FREIGHT
On Board a German Liner, Which Is Stranded, .l,t Not in Any Danger.

Norfolk. Va, Oct. T.-The German freight and passenger steamer Polaria, from Galveston, Oct. 1S for Hamburg, via Norfolk, which went ashore off Cape Henry last night, lies in practically the same position tonight. None of the crew nor any of the passengers on beard her have been landed, but the ship is resting easily and is in no immediate danger of breaking up. The 1ife-saving crew has been strenuously endeavoring through out the day to get line to the stranded ship. They have fired the Lyle gun mine times, but each time the shot carrying the line fell short of the ship. The heavy surf which is being piled up by the wild northeast gale has prevented their launching boat.
 Wreclking tugs were sent from this city early in the day, and the Merritt Wreck ing company, which has the contract to float the Polaria, got a line to her frcm the tug Jones, which pulled on her un- successfully. She is now lying alongside ready to render any aid in case the steamer shows signs of breaking up.
