HOUSE RESOLUTIONS.

Whereas the government Of
Spain for three years past has been
waging war upon the island Of Gu
bs against revolution by the in
ha0ltants thereof, without making
any substantial progress toward
the suppression of said revolution
and has conducted the warfare in
a manner contrary to the laws Of
nations by methods inhumane and
uncivilized, causing the death by
starvation Of more than two hun
dred thousand innocent nOn-com-
batants, the victims being for the
most part helpless women and chill
dren, infiictlng terrible injury to
commercial interests OF the United
States, involving the destruction
OF lives and property of many Of
our citizens, entailing the expendl-
ture Of millions OF money in pa
trolling our coasts and policing the
high seas in order to maintain our
neutrality; and
"Whereas, This long series Of
losses, injuries and burdens for
which Spain is responsible, has cul-
minated in the destruction OF the
United States battleship Maine, in
the barber OF Havana, and In the
death Of go Of our seamen.
Resolved, etc, That the Presi.
dent is hereby authorized and di'
rpcted to intervene at once to stoE
the war in Cuba, to the end and
with the purpose Of securing per.
manent peace and order there, anc

the people there a stable and indie
pendent government Of their owl
in the island OF Cuba; and the
President Is hereby authorized and
empowered to use the land and ma
val forces OF the United States I.

WAR!
Congress Takes Decis-
i've Action.

On Tuesday the proper commit
tees reported strong resolutions TO
Congress on the Spain difficulty.
The House passed its resolutions,
but the Senate postponed action for
q day or two, with no doubt OF its

way to avert war, and that is for
Spain TO surrender Cuba and with.
draw all troops from the island.
This is not at all probable.

tions:

RICHMOND, Ind, Aug. 31.-Captain VIII
Smith. of the Richmond company, with the
Observation-Disclosures Indiana Regi-
ment, writes home as follows:
1T did look for a while the past week
like we might be returned home without
seeing the promised land of free Cuba. But
Colonel Durbin FASTENED to Washington,
and after an interview with the powers
that be, returned to-day Sunday with the
welcome news that we would go sure.
When the announcement was made by the
captains at evening roll call the boys went
almost wild. A rush was made for the band
tent, the drums and bugles were secured
and a grand parade formed. They marched
through the company streets and finally
ended in front of Colonel Durbins head
quarters. The colonel was over visiting Col.
Bryan, at the Nebraska regiment, so the
boys marched through the Rough Riders
camp and returned through the Nebraska
camp. Colonel Durbin told them he would
return at once and when he arrived at his
tent there were over a thousand men lined
up around 1t. The colonel stepped out and
asked what 1t all meant and the answer
went up from hundreds of strong voices
Cuba. Cuba Speech!' The colonel spoke
partially as follows: Men of the One-hun-
Observation-Disclosures Indiana-It gives me
great pleasure to tell you that the wish of
our lives has been granted and l car posi-
lively assure you we will go TO Cuba.
(Cbeers) The Observation-Disclosures
Regiment has already made a reputation
throughout the land and / was proud to
hear it Familiarity spoken of by the Presi-
dent. the adjutant general of the United
States. and the first assistant secretary of
war as the regiment of Indiana that really
wanted to go to Cuba. And, men, let me
say that we may get some of that which we
enlisted for too. (Deafening cheers) We
have reason to be proud of our place in
the finest army corps in the United States
army. The sickness of the Seventh Army
Corps is less than per cent. and only four
sick men in the ne-hundred-and-sixty-
Regiment. l ask you to cooperate
with us and keep it the healthiest regiment
In the Seventh Corps. Men, thank
you for this demonstration, and you will
have the opportunities of your lives and
return home with honors that no other In
diana regiment will likely have a chance
to gain"
''The men are almost unanimous in their
desire to go. though some of the married
men would like TO return. 1t is possible that
some arrangement will be made TO ex-
change men from other regiments that want
to return and can give a good reason for It,
Applications are being received by all the
officers asking TO let men into the One-hun-
Observation-Disclosures Regiment. The revival
meetings during the past week have been
very successful and about two hundred of
the men have agreed to lead Christian lives
A Christian Endeavor Society will likely be
organized in the near future"

tract, ne insists that the city authorities

To illustrate the utter impossihility of Sc

public policy fOrbids the exercise OF tina
power in such cases, and cites an Arkansas
case. He reviews the legislative act known
as the New bill and contends that this en-
actment treated the sO-called contract with
the City Company as a nullity. The Citi-
