Off Under the Rules,

Off Under the Rules.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-The
house today quietly proceeded with the
order of the day, the consideration of
private bills
During the day the following reso-
lutions bearing on the Cuban question
were introduced:
By Mr.. Marsh (Rep., Ill):
That war be and the same is hereby de-
clared to exist between the government of
Spain and her dependencies and the United
States and her territories, and that the
president of the United States is hereby
authorized to use the whole land and naval
forces of the United States including the
militia and the naval militia thereof, to
carry the same into effect.
In accordance with the determination
reached at a conference of Populists
before the house met, Mr. Bell CPop.,
COLI offered the following:
Resolved By the Senate and House of
Representatives, That the separate political
existence and independence of the republic
OF Cuba, now and for some time heretofore
maintained by force of arms, be and the
same is hereby recognized as a separate
and independent nation.
That the United States shall Immediately
intervene and put an end to the war now
being waged on the island of Cuba, and
succor and release from imprisonment the
people there concentrated for the purpose
VI StdTVdIlOn ana eXtermlnatl0n.
And for the purpose of carrying into eff
feet the provisions Of this act and enabling
the president of the United States to fur
nish such concentrated people with food and
medicine ETC., the sum of 5000 0C0 is hereby
appropriated out of any funds in the United
States treasury not otherwise appropri-
ated.
Representative Hartman, of Mon
tana, offered a resolution declaring that
the government of the United States

the republic Of Cuba, and pledges the
full measure Of its support for the
maintenance of that Independence
No opportunity was afforded under
the rules of debating the all absorbing
topic, but members stood about the
cloak rooms and Hobbies all day long
discussing the situation.
The most intense feeling was mani
tested.
The house after passing bill to pen
sion the widow Of Gen. John L. Steven
son, at the rate of $50 per month, de-
voted the whole day to the considera-
ton Of. the bill to pay certain claims
for stores and supplies furnished to the
Union by loyal citizens of the South
during the war.
There was a bitter contest over
claim of s217, 900 preferred by the heirs
of the widow of Gen. Robert E. Lee.
She inherited the claim from Mrs. Fitz-
hugh, her aunt, who, it was admitted,
was loyal. The claim was finally
stricken out, but the house recessed
before the bill was passed. 1t provides
for the payment of about $50 claims
aggregating about S1,2O0,000. At 5
o'clock recessed until o'clock, the

sion legislation.
At 1920 o'clock the house adjourned,
only private pension bills being con-
sidered.

WASHINGTON, March 20. The
Michigan delegation met this after
noon in the room of the committee on
foreign affairs and unanimously de-
cided to call upon President Mckinley
tomorrow morning in body and urge
upon him the necessity and advisable
tty for prompt and vigorous action on
the Cuban question.
They will say that in asking for In
PREVENTION they represent the over
whelming sentiment of the people of
Michigan. William Alden Smith is
chairman of the delegation.
Among those anxious to secure
prompt action and to await no further
delay are Hopkins, of Illinois, MEM
Der of the ways and means committee;
Tawney, of Minnesota, also a member
of the avs and means committee;
Mercer, of Nebraska, chairman COM
mittee on public buildings and
grounds; Hepburn, of Iowa, chairman
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce.; Lorrimer and Graft, Of ILL
nois.
Representative Lorrimer stated that
he did not believe the house would
wait more than forty-eight hours long
er before it would take some steps
looking to action by congress immedi-
ate and direct in its character. and
that he believed in going to the extent
of independence.
II have talked to many Republi-
cans" he said '1n the past twenty
four hours, and, with two exceptions,
they were all for intervention or rec
ognition Of independence. There will
be no appropriation of 100000 for re-
lief supplies for the Cuban noncom-
batants, as is expected to be requested
by the president, unless simultaneous
ly there is a call for intervention and
independence. 1 believe 1t will be
found that not only a majority of the
Republican side of the house favor i'm
mediate action on these lines, but that
a majority of the whole house can be
found on the Republican side with this
disposition"
Many Plans.
The members Of the house who are in
favor of immediate and aggressive &C
ton are discussing all sorts Of meth
DDS by which the house can be brought
to an expression of opinion. This
morning there was some talk of over
ruling the chair during the considera-
ton of the naval appropriation bill, and
attaching a resolution recognizing the
independence Of Cuba as a rider. But
all this talk seems to be in the air. It
has no conference.
The main thing the conservatives
have to contend with Is the overWhelm-
ing protest which is going up against
delay. The foreign affairs committee
of the house is in a peculiar condition
Chairman Hit is Ill, and the regular
meeting of the committee will not occur
until Thursday. If way can be found
to secure a meeting Of the committee
before Thursday. it will be done. II
not, the Republican members of the
committee will probably caucus on the
question.
There is a strong sentiment in the
house and in the committee against the

WASHINGTON, March 29.-At the
close OF the cabinet meeting today Sec
rotary Alger gave out the following
statement:
So far from there being any difference

however, that the Spanish attitude up
to the present time has not been to
consider either the independence of
Cuba, forcible intervention or the sale
of the island. There is much difference

A gentleman well acquainted with
Spanish affairs pointed out today that

Text ctf the Anonymous Letter Hint

Public With the Printed Report

WASHINGTON, March 29.-An inter-

Of the Maine testimony, issued from
the government printing office today,
was the famous anonymous letter men
toned in the testimony of Henry

The letter was received by Gen. Lee

educated person. The certified trans

Marina, hose such as is used by divers.
and that the three left Regla in a small
boat, which they placed under the wharves
of Santa Catalina and they were lettering
about more than an hour and a half, while
Pope Taco, who is calker and diver, prob

to bring about the explosion of the Maine.
With the data l went to Regla and dis
covered that the family of the dead man,
who lived in the utmost misery in a house
in Rodriguez Batista street. had moved to
well-furnished Gelabert street.
There l learned that they had agreed with
work of blowing up the ship for the sum
of S6,OO9-$20 CO in advance and the other
$4,000 after seeing the result.
But as they did not come out of the ad-

himself to collect the rest of the money.

not now pay him, he would declare the
truth of all this. The whom l called

unwounded, who is doubt afraid to pre-
