Plans Arranged for the Occupation
of Cuba.
Washington, Special, April 1s.-Unite6
States marines will be the first Ameri-
can troops to attempt a landing in Cuba
Secretary Long to-day ordered the aux
iliary cruiser Venezuela renamed the
Panther, and the Yumuri renamed the
Badger, and they have been set aside for
duty as marine transports. COL Charles
Haywood, commandant of marines, has
directed the formation of a battalion,
which will be ordered at once to the
Panther, which will proceed to Key West
to join the North Atlantic squadron. A
second battalion will be transported to
Key West by the Badger When Capt.

to attack Havana the Panther and Badg-
er will accompany it, and the marines on
board will effect landing wherever
deemed advisable

CABLE CUT {:
Possibly an Accident but Probably

Possibly an Accident but Probably
a Plot.
Key West, Fla, April 1s.-It was
learned to-day that the cable between
Key West and Punta Rassa had been
cut about two miles this side Of Sanbel
island about III miles from Key West.
The matter was kept secret and the break
has been repaired. The incident looked
suspicious, as the broken end Of the ca.
BILE showed that it had been cut clean
through. The rupture might have been
accidental, as the water is shallow where
the break occurred, and the anchor OF
some vessel may have become entangled
in the cable, but the shallowness of the
water would render the cutting by an en-
envy comparatively easy task
Capt. Sampson learned of it to-day and
wired the navy department at Washing
ton. 1t has been decided to establish a
careful guard in these waters and any
suspicious craft will be summarily dealt
with. The revenue cutter Mclean has al.
ready been sent on patrol there. The
matter is of the utmost Importance as
the cables between here and Punta Rassa
are the only communication with the
mainland, and if they were interfered
with at this time the consequences could
not be foretold. An additional cause fol,
suspicion is found in the fact that the
cable between here and Havana recently
broke near here.

From statement made by a Chi
cago paper, and widely copied, it ap-
pears that during the last four years
the annual average of murders COM
mitted in the United States has ex-
ceeded ten thousand. In this state
ment all cases of homicide are massed
Unfortunately as "murders''; but
murder in the legal sense implies de-
Hberate malice. 1t is shown that of
the cases reported, ninety-three were
killed by insane persons, two hundred
and twenty-five in defense Of life or
property, and forty-six hundred and
thirty-eight were the result of brawls
or quarrels, while twenty-six hundred
and fifty-fve are set down as of un-
known causes. With all deductions or
explanations, the record of bloodshed
is national disgrace, and may well
be called alarming; but the force of
facts is never strengthened by exag-
geration.

probable that as soon as the resolutions

and that not very long, in which to reply
to the proposition that the Spanish army
must be withdrawn from Cuba and Span

the expiration of the time set, if no IA

bill was under consideration the con-
fusion was so great that business could
scarcely proceed. Notwithstanding
the vice presidents earnest and CON
slant effort to preserve order, the
members gathered in groups about the
chamber, excitedly discussing the
various phases of the question of the
hour.
A feeling Of bitterness grew up be-
tween the senate and the house during
the late afternoon and evening that
at one time seemed likely to delay &C.
ton. Cooler counsels prevailed, how
ever, and determination of the mo-
mentous question was finally reached.
Those who were fighting for recogni
ton Of the island republic early de-
cided that the senate should not take
the initiative in requesting a confer
ence between the two houses. They
further resolved that when the senate
conferees were finally appointed at
least two of them should represent
The Majority Of Sentiment
Of that body. The radical advocates
of independence slowly, but none the
less surely lost ground, however, be-
ing swept back by the powerful and
compact minority opposed to them.
They yielded only after one of the
bitterest contests in the history of the
senate. They capitulated but did not
surrender. The scene in the senate
even up to the minute, of adjournment
was one of wonderful beauty and i'm
pressiveness. Hundreds of brilliantly
attired women and men in evening
dress filled the galleries. On the floor

Washington, April 19.-After one Of
the hardest fought battles between
the two houses known in many years
congress at an early hour this morn
ing came to an agreement upon the
most momentous question it has dealt
with in third Of a century. The
Cuban resolution was passed and will
be sent to the president this morning.
Its provisions mean the expulsion of
Spain from the Island Of Cuba by the
armed forces of the United States.
There were many roll calls in both
houses and each body held tenacious
ly for it's own resolution. The con-
ferees had great difficulty in agreeing.
The first conference showed a deter
mination on the part of the house not
to yield a single point, and it was
only after long consultations with the
house leaders that they agreed to al
low the little words "are, and" in the
first section Of the senate resolution,
which declares that the people of
Cuba are, and of right ought to be
free and independent. The resolution
as finally adopted is that reported
from the senate committee on foreign
relations, with the addition of the
fourth section, known as the Teller
amendment, disclaiming any intention
on the part Of the United States to &C.
quire Cuba.

In the western hemisphere the
slaughter of birds has been trench
dous, and in this country it has almost
annihilated some varieties, and the ef-
feet is felt by farmers in some states
in the increase of injurious insects,
which the birds used to eat. The fem
mime pride of ornament has wrought
a fearful work, and it is gratifying to
see that the movement to prevent this
wholesale destruction of birds is large
ly pushed by women, who see the folly
of annihilating them for hat feathers.

Why is it that the city which ought
