EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Of the American BimetalIc Union Met at
 Washington.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The executive committee of the American Bimetallic union met here today. The meeting was called for the purpose of disposing of an accumulation of routine business and for consultation regarding the future work of the union. Since the currency reform ques- tion has been brought prominently before the country the committee feels that it must be promptly met and what they re- gard as fallacdes of the plan suggested by Secretary Gage and the monetary commits sion, will be pointed out in literature to be prepared upon this special subject.
 General Warner, before the meeting, said that his health had suffered very much of late by overwork and 1t was his inten- ton to spend the next few months in Georgia. He did not at present feel physi- cally able to continue the work in hand and some time during the present session he would ask the executive committee to name some one to take his place, tenn porarily at least, at the head of the union.

ssgon Aroused, and Talk of War 
 Heard on All Sides.
Action in the House of Representatives In- flames the People Against Spanish In- science, and the Republicans Placed
 in Uncomfortable Condition.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Washington, Jan. 1S-Tnere is a great deal of excitement in Washington tonight. Many of the most prominent men of both political parties are aroused to a fighting mood.
 Information received late tonight that the Spanish have cut the cable extending from Havana to Key West, thus cutting off all telegraphic communication with the other part of the world. This is taken to mean that the Spanish, in doing this, intend to proceed to acts of the most brutal vio- lence upon the insurgents and their sym pathizers.
 The Spanish in Cuba seem to realize the state of feeling in the United States, and have adopted this procedure, which is said to be contemplated so that it can more successfully carry them into execution by destroying telegraphic communications. The rumor is also current in news circles that the battleship Maine has been ordered from Key West to Havana. Naval Officials Consulting. The officials In the navy department are in close consultation, and 1t is impossible at a late hour to verify or discredit the rumor. The action in the house of repre- sentatives today has intensified public. feel- ing almost beyond description. The demo- crats made the biggest play that party has made in the last quarter century
 They placed the republicans squarey up- on the defensive, and also put them to shame before the country in their coward- ice in not carrying into execution the declarations made in the St Louis platform, which were sympathetic in the extreme for Cuban independence. While the republi- cans in the house were today generally held within party lines, there is every rea- son to believe that an hundred or more of them will rebel against the non-action of the republicans.
 Cursing the Speaker.
 Speaker Reed is being cursed by more republicans tonight than there are hairs in his head. He is denounced upon all sides as a traitor. a coward and the tool of trusts who are opposing the recognition of Cuba fearing the destruction of commer- cial values Unless the republicans bring up the senate resolution declaring for the recognition. of belligenency of Cuba at an early date, many of the republicans will join with the democrats and take it up anyhow.
 At White Heat.
 Cuban fever was never at greater heat than at this time. Thousands of people are walking the streets cursing the government for not making a declaration of war on Spain. It is more than probable there will be hot time in congress over the Cuban question within the next fortnight The liberty-loving people believe the time for action has arrived, and that it must be war with Spain before the Cuban question is settled.

QUIET RElGNS.
DeLome Denies That Spain Has Thrown 0bsta.
 cles in Way ol Distributing Food.

Washington, Jan. 1s.-Such information as the state department has received as to the situation in Havana is confrmatory of the unofficial despatches and shows that quiet reigns in the city and the demonstra- tions of the officers and their riotous spirit had either exhausted itself for the time being or had been completely suppressed by the strong auth .ty, is justified Tho situation was briefly alluded to in the cabi- net meeting today and was not regarded as warranting any change in the attitude of our government.
 Minister DeLome has written the state department denying the truth of the re- port that the customs officers in Havana have thrown obstacles in the way of land- ing the supplies sent from the United States to the Cuban sufferers. The state depart ment is satisfied that, regardless of any difficulty they may have experienced, there will be no trouble from now on in promptly placing in Gen. Lees possession for im- mediate distribution any supplies that reach Havana harbor in the regular manner.

from dealing with the matter on sound permanent footing.'
 The Standard warns Ir. Chamberlain that his proposal "savors of protection" and that he must be prepared to deal with criticism.
 The Daily News also promises Mir. Chamberlain that the opposition will deal with his plan on it's merits when it appears and asks whether he has forgot ten the vehement language in which he condemns the late government for giving a small grant to New Foundland
 The Daily Mail confesses to a feeling of intense disappointment, especially for the ringing imperial note of the remainder of the speech. It says the government has some means of getting bounties abolished without resort to countervailing duty, MT. Chamberlains proposal merely slaves off bankruptcy and disaster.
