WASHINGTON, April s-Thcre was a
scene Of greatexcitement in the House
late yesterday afternoon during the
consideration of tho bill for the re-
organization Of the army. 10 was
caused by Mr.. Lentz, an Ohio Demo-
crat, who made O vicious assault on
the administration, charging that the
policy of delay was in the interest of
stock iobbers in Wall street lie al
legged that Wall street was in the pos
session of information that the mes
sage would go H.. long before it was
known at the capitol, and prohted
heavily by the advance in the price Of
stocks which resulted lie even
charged that there was no warrant
for the alarming statements about the
situation in Havana which were given
as justifying the delay OF the mes
sage
Mr. Lentz speech created pro-
found sensation, and was met with an
emphatic reply from General Cros-
venor, now generally regarded as the
administration spokesman on the
floor. Mr. Grosvenor not only denied
that there was justification for the re-
ports, but held Mr. Lentz up TO scorn
for alleging corrupt methods against
the President Mr.. Lentz disclaimed
this, but the irate friend of the Presi-
dent gave him no mercy. lie was
thoroughly aroused and laid about
him with veritable blugeon, charg-

Before he concluded, he expressed the
opinion that war was as certain as

unless 81 was averted by Spain.

oped more and more opposition. Mr.

to strike out all its provisions, even
the three battalion formation features,
but it was in the end recommitted,

Some sharp war talk was indulced

ing was the amendment Of Mr. pettus
Of Alabama, providing for such inn
provcment of the harbor at Mobile MS
would enable war vessels TO obtain
coal and other supplies there. Mr.. Al
lison, of Iowa, in charge Of the bin,
made a point OF order against the

speech by Mr. Morgan, of Alabama,
who charged the appropriations COM
mittee with discriminating against
proper measures, and threatened tc
assist in dissolving the committee. He
followed with an argument showing
the necessity for the improvement
proposed, holding that IL would open
