My little daughters head and face broke
out in bleeding sores. One of her ears was SO

suffering was intense, getting no rest unless
under opiates. The physician tried every

she got worse. Distracted with her condi.

ment Must Be Established
For Cuba.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-In view of
the general announcement that the
foreign committees of the two houses
would make their reports on the Cuban
question the early attendance OF the
public was surprisingly small. There
was only handful of people at each
of the galleries when they were opened
at . o'clock and it was almost noon be-
fore the galleries were filled. Those
who secured the front seats in the sem
ate gallery held them persistently, how
ever, under the conviction that the day
had in it more possibilities in the way
of excitement and possible development
than any preceding day.
The senate committee did not begin
business until II o'clock and the meet
ing was said to be merely formal as the
essential work Of preparing its report
and formulating the resolutions to be
presented had been practically COM
pleted. There was some additions to
the report on account of General Lees
testimony but these were not material
rs his statements did not add anything
to the committees real stock of infor.
NATION. 1t was felt, however, that his
statement would be valuable in round
ing out and completing the report and
in supporting the committees position.
His opinions were in line with those of
the majority of the committee and
were highly valued. ,r... IT,.
The report of the committee was
presented almost Immediately after
the converting of the senate, and the
reading occupied AZ minutes. Follow
ing are the resolutions upon which the
report was based:
Whereas, The abhorrent conditions
which have existed for more than
three years in the island of Cuba, so
near our own borders, have shocked
the moral sense OF the people of the
United States, have been disgrace to
Christian civilization, eliminating as
they have in the destruction of a
United States warship with 266 of its
officers and crew while on friendly
visit in the harbor of Havana, and can.
not longer be endured, as has been set
forth by the president of the United
States in his message to congress of
April ii, 1898, upon which the action
of congress was invited, therefore,
Resolved, First, That the people of
the Island of Cuba are, and by right
ought to be free and independent.
Second, That it is the duty of the
United States to demand, and the gov
eminent of the United States does
hereby demand, that the government
of Spain at once rehnquish it's authority
and government in the Island of Cuba
aud withdraw its land and naval forces
from Cuba and Cuban waters. 49,
Third, That the president of the
United States be and he is hereby
directed and empowered to use the en-.
tire land and naval forces of the United
States and to call into actual service
for the United States, the militia of
several states. to such an extent as may
be necessary to carry these resolutions
into effect.

REVIEW OF THE SITUATION.

Senate Committes's Report Goes Thor
oughIy Into the Cuban Matter.
The report of the senate committee
was made by Senator Davis, chairman
of the senate foreign relations commit
tee and was very thorough review OF
the entire situation and strong pre-
sentation of the facts which has led the
committee to its conclusions. The re-
port takes mp the Maine disaster as the
leading topic for consideration and
plnnges into that question In its first
sentence which is as follows:
''The destruction Of the United States
and of 1854 Of her crew in the harbor Of
Havana on the night of Feb. 10, 1893,
excited to an unprecedented degree the
compassion and resentment Of the
American people.
Contintinuing the report says:
manifestations of that resentment
were suspended, although the feeling
was not allayed by the self restraint Of
our people, who determined to hold
their Judgment in suspense concerning
their ultimate action until an official
Investigation should disclose the cause
of that great disaster and enable them
by direct or circumstantial testimony
TO impute the responsibility therefor.

It was conducted with judicial thor
