ANOTHER WRANGLE.
A parliamentary wrangle followed over
an attempt of Mr.. Bailey to appeal from
what he contended was a ruling of the
chair. The House Their went into committee
of the whole and resumed consideration of
the naval appropriation bill. Mr.. Cannon
(Rep., Ill) chairman of the appropriations
committee, made point of order against
the paragraph authorizing the construction
of a floating steel dry dock at Algiers. La.
The chair overruled the point of order.
From time to time during the afternoon
the Cuban question was brought forward
and aroused intense feeling. Mr.. Wheeler
(Dem.. Ala.) said that this morning the
country had been stirred by the announce
ment that the Republicans of the House
had at last revolted and action was to be
taken. Tomorrow the American people
would be Inundated when they found that
the Republicans of the House had Joined
the temporizing policy which was betraying
the American government and the Amer

Mr. Wheeler II have watched how matters
have gone but do not believe the admin

friendly hand to the murderers of the sail
ors of the Maine and the patriots of Cuba"
(Renewed applause.)
Mr.. Cummings. speaking to an amend
ment, aroused the galleries to a high pitch
of enthusiasm. THAT there will be war be-
tween this country and SPAIN, he said, rs
indicated by every pulsation of the popular
constituents this batch of letters in one
mail asking me why my voice is silent at
this time. asking me why. after l have Wis

Sagasta: Repeal your Weyler order. which
is starving these people. (ApplauseD There

lerS. From even a Spanish standpoint or
Weyler standpoint it is no longer necessary
that that order should continue in force, 1t
is an utter impossibility unless they bring
their provisions with them. for Gomez and

tive should be a peremptory demand by this
government for the repeal of the Weyler
order When that is done, feed the recon-
oentrados If you please. First, give them
homes, give them plows. give them oxen.
And. in Gods name send them back to the
blackened ashes of their homes and give
them the opportunity to raise provisions for
themselves" (Applause.)
Mr. Boutelle objected to an extension of
Mr. Cummings time beyond the five-min-
ute limit, and was Kissed by the galleries.
Without reaching the provisions relating to
the increases in the navy the committee
rose, and at sos o'clock p. m. the House ad-
