vessel Fearless, from Nassau, N p He
is en- route to Tampa with dispatches
from Gen. Calixto Garcia, of the Cuban
army to Gen. Shafter
Lieut.. Rowan's mission was a most
dangerous and important one. He left
Jamaica for Cuba in little sailing YES

day in Cuba at a point near the peak of
OJo Del Toro, in the province of Santiago
de Cuba. With him were a number of
Cuban guides who Immediately led him

days they rode over the mountains until
they arrived at Bayamo. the headouar-
ters of Gen. Garcia
Garcia hal but few hundred men with
him, the larger part of his immediate
command being then in pursuit of the
Spahlards, who were then on their way to
the Cauto River, upon which they were
to embark in boats. and thus escape to
the coast. This river is guarded by a
continuous line of forts its entire nav

In Lieut.. Rowans opinion, the Cubans
will be invaluable to the American army.
Their knowledge of the topography of the

but practical. Not a soul he says. can

FIRST GUN FIRED.
Campaign for Cuban BeI|igersncy
Begun in the House.

Washington, Jan. 18.-The first gun
in the campaign forthe lecognitionof Gu
ban belligerency Ia the House of hepre-
sentatlves was fired to-day, in connection
with the consideration of the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill.
Mr.. HIT tried to gag discussion by
the adoption of the i've minutes for de-
bate. out no agreement could stop the
flood of oratory, and at the reading of the
euacting clause, the proposal by Mr. De
Almond, of Missouri, to insert recogni.
ton of the beligeyency of Cuba, the gates
were opened.
Mr.. De Almond made an impassioned
speech, demanding action to express the
sentiment of the American people, and
was then held up by Mr.. Hit insisting
on the chair enforcing the rule recurring
the speaker to confine himself to the
question at issue, his point of order BE-
ing that the amendment was QUO of order.
Mr.. DE Almond gave notice that If the
chair ruled against him he would appeal
from its decision.
1hls alarmed the Republican managers
who feared that an appeal would be sus.
tanned. Messengers were sent all over
town to bring in absent Republicans.
The amendment was finally declared 10
he out OF order rom this decision Mr..
DE Almond appealed. The chair was
sustained, 1877 to TO. The vote ended the
sensational proceedings for the day.
In the course Of the debate Mr.. Colson,
OF Kentucky, said he would vote to sus-
tain the chair. but warned the hepubli.
cans that if the policy or repression of
this question was maintained hut few of
them would be found in their places in
the next Congress. (Applause.) Unless
the House was given AN opportunity to
register an expression of the will of the
American people on this subject, so near
10 their hearts, Mr.. Colson said he would
join in the most revolutionary tactics to
enable members to vote their sentiments.
