The President to Demand San
guilly's Immediate Release.
The Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions held special meeting this morning
for the purpose of again considering the
resolution reported yesterday, instructing
the President to demand the immediate re-
lease of Julio sanguilly, an American citi-
zen now confined in prison in Cuba. This
meeting was forced by the attitude of the
members of the Committee on Appropria-
tions, who, through Chairman Allison, gave
notice yeste rday afternoon that all busi-,
ness must give way to appropriation bills
The Committee on Foreign Relations be-
lieves that the situation in Cuba demands
the attention OF the Senate fully as much
as do the appropriation measures, espe
cially in view OF the treatment of San
gully and the repeated violations of the
treaty rights OF Americans in the island
The case was carefully discussed this
morning, and the committee reached the
unanimous conclusion that the Senate
can afford to wait TO longer for Spain
to keep her promise, made to Secretary
Oincy, to release sanguilly. and the de-
cision was reached to insist upon the con-
sideratio1 and passage OF tile resolution
to the opposition of appropriation meas
ures and everything else

tween Houston and Orange and IL they
were favorable 1t was his intention to per-
NIT such trains to enter the State.
with the abandonment Of this project all
service east Of Houston was discontinued
Tnis was occasioned by the quarantine
placed against Houston by Beaumont at

All service between Houston and Calves
ton has also been discontinued.
The Santa Fe had train at city limits
last night in charge of three mounted DO
lice. whose Instructions were not to allow
1t to enter the city. Late last night they
intended running it to Alvin and thence
to Sealy delivering the Southern Pacific
passengers at Rosenberg. There were
nineteen Houston passengers aboard the
train.
AS near as could be learned the Southern
Pacific west bound and the Houston and
Texas Central trains would run today as
usual, and If the towns north and west
OF here can be convinced that Houston's
quarantine against the infected district ia
absolute, the chances are favorable for
continuance OF the present service.
at midnight the Santa Fe gave notice
that they would have a train out Of Hous-
ton at a. m. to connect with the main
line train at Alvin. AS near as could be
learned there were no guarantees on that
line north.
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas stopped
their No. in Houston last night and will
run it out OF here this morning on regular
schedule as No. 3.
The International and Great Northern
will run trains north on their regular
schedule.
The following circular was issued by the
Houston and Texas Central yesterday:
Passengers for points in Brasos county.

Bryan, will not be permitted to leave

not over forty-eight hours old, and agents
must not. under any circumstances, sell
tickets to those points unless passengers
present certificates as required.
when selling tickets to those points,
agents must stamp certificates with dating
stamp date of sale ticket.
Not necessary for certificates to be

Agents at points in Brazoa county
