be made. Senator Wolcntt, OF Colorado,
offered some amendments on this cub

seThe Lafayette was released In pur-
Eauance OF orders which were issued by
the navy department previously to her
tseIzure, but which had not been recelv-

facts are that on April %. the French
IeMbassy made on informal inquiry as
To whether the Lafayette, which left
Saint Nazaire, France. for Vera Cruz,
by way OF Havana, before war was de-
Sclared or Information OF the blockade
received, would be allowed to land at
Havana certain passengers, her mail
sbags and the Edispatch-bag Of the con-
sulate general Of France. and to take
some French passengers on board. An
assurance was given that, II this privi-
Slege should be granted, the; steamer
would be forbidden by the French con.
ssul to land goods.
THE matter was duly considered, and
sit was decided that. without regard to
the strict law OF blockade and as an act
sof courtesy. the request OF the French
government should be acceded 10. Or
sders were accordingly sent on the Sec
4ond day OF May. When information was
received OF the capture OF the steamer

to the captors,! with instructions to re-
lease the steamer and to see that the
