other Is derogatory TO the welfare Of the
country; and it is a high duty of each

reasonable ground of complaint or arpre-

The committee extends the argument on
this latter point, saying that the passage
of the appropriation bills is necessary to
the maintenance of the government, and
that the incorporation of the amendment
as part of the diplomatic bill, especially
after the House declined to place It there,
would necessarily be regarded as an at

Tugs From Various Points Carry 1t
to steamer at Sea.
Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. Alt was an
nounced to-day in Cuban circles in this
city that a cargo of arms and ammunition
was successfully shipped on tug boat late
on Saturday night from point on the
Delaware river, below Wilmington, Del.
The cargo is reported to have consisted OF
100000 rounds of cartridges and about 800
rifles. The tug boat is said to have been
one of seven sent out on that night from
various points along the coast with orders
to rendezvous at a point off the Atlantic
coast beyond the jurisdiction Of the United
States and there to transfer their cargoes
to a steamer.
The work was done under the direction
of a prominent Cuban of this city. When
he arrived here to-day and made the re-
suit of the work known he said: 'The
De LONE affair has been a great thing for
us. We have been preparing for several
days for this venture, and we believe 1t
will be the best yet sent out in point of

New York, Feb. Alt is now learned
on the highest authority that the real
reason for sending the United States tor
pedo boat Gushing to Havana was that the
Spanish authorities had been tampering
with the mail sent TO the battleship
Maine in Havana harbor, says the Wash
ington correspondent of the Herald. This
resulted in Capt. Sigsbee of the Maine
sending a protest TO Washington with
suggestion that a regular service be es-
tablished between Key West and Havana
by means of q torpedo boat
On the strength of the protest the Cush-
ing was dispatched to Havana. Although
it has been frequently reported that the
official mail has been tempered with in
the past, Secretary Long said last night
that he had received no reports from Capt.
Sigsbee saying that the Spanish nuthori-
ties had interferred with his letters in
any way.

senate Committee Opposes Putting

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Morgan
to-day reported from the committee on for
eign relations the amendment offered by
Senator Allen of Nebraska, recognizing
the belligerency OF Cuba. The report was
against making it a part of the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill, but the
report, which was quite long, stated that
the Senate had already acted on this mat
ter, and is still of the opinion and would
be glad to have the House co-operate in
securing a recognition of belligerency.
After quoting the amendment, the com
mittec says: in terms this proposed
amendment is identical with a Joint reso-
luton which passed the Senate on Nav TO-
1897, was sent to the House Of Represen-

for some time. Williams was a negro
preacher and said to have been a right
