THE CUBAN SITUATION.

The effort of the democratic party IL
the house of representatives to force
the administration into action on the
Cuban question is being generally cor
demned by the press and thong htful
citiz. ms throughout the country. Even
democratic papers in many cases say
frankly that this effort to EN- barrass the
administration 10 its attempt to carr.
out de- fiuite policy which it has adopt
ed in the Cuban matter is not only ur-
warranted from political standpoint,
but ill-advised and in extremely bad
taste. The success of the McKtnlt v
administra ion in handling the Cuba n
matter thus far has been in such mark =
ed contrast with that of the admiuis-
tration which preceded it, thu t
though tful men are quite willing to
leave to the president and his cabinet
the right to conclude the work hicb
they have so admirably begun. In tt e
first few weeks of this administrati, n
all of the American citizens who were
found in confinement in Spanish prison 8
in Cuba at the close of the last admin
1stration were released, ard such steI 8
taken with reference to the attitude
OF the Sranish government as to show
to the officials of that nation tina. the
new administration would not consert +
to continuation of the cruelt es which
bad bee n prao tic upon the Cuban.
The result YVES the presentation of the
autonomy propo, ition which has now
been in tperst ion less than a month :,
aud until sufficient time is given to
fairly test that, the general feeling ia
that it is unre asonable that CONGRESS
should insist upon mapping out for the
president AMI his admini-;ra lion n
policy differing from az which tbey
have steaoily and successfully pursued
thus Tar. The men who are talking
war and taking steps which they should
know Lust result in war are. as a els a.
gentlemen who have nover smell. 4

and when they attempt to thoughtless
~ and unnecessarily drive into war
such men as President McKipl.y. Cen
eral Lee, General Alger, and Others

that sort OF thing, t. cir course does

can exports of merchandise reached

Senator Morgan, of Alabama. indulg-
ed in some very plain talk, just after
the Senate had by vote of 45 to 81 de-
cided to put the clause for the issue of
bends and certificates of indebtedness
in the war revenue bill in place OF
the clause for the issue of greenbacks,
which was put in the bill by the Senate
Finance committee. He declaIed that
the national bank combination. which
he believed to be far stronger in the
matter Of controlling the destiny, Of
the country than the 150,OO0 soldiers
in the field for the United States, was
behind the conspiracy to force bond
issue upon the people, and that, no
government has ever been ridden by
such an incubus as this, and no govern
ment eught to yield to such an impo-
sttien" No surprise was caused by
the vote in the Senate, as it had been
forsgecs conclusion from the first.
The dem ocsats who voted for bonds
were, Cafery, Faulkner, German,
Gray Lindsey, Mitchell, and Murphy.
The silver republicans voted solidIy
against bonds; also the pspulists.

capturing or destroying the Spanish

Washington not to attack until the ar

Sampson to blockade the entrance to

couldn't get cut If enc of the sudden
storms, frequent at this season in those
waters, should compel a temporary
withdrawal of his ships. Lieut.. HObssn
and his brave crew, whose daring deeds
il unsurpassed in naval history, were all
captured, but steps are being taken to
bring about their immediate exchange
