WASHINGTON, d. c., April 13.-
Both branches of congress have passed
| bevond the control of the president.
By q vote of 1922 to 19 the house, after
= stormy session, passed the resolution
authorizing Intervention and the estab-
lishment of ssa stable and independent
government of their own on the island
of Cuba" Before this action was
taken in the house the senate had re-
ceived from Senator Davis, chairman
of the committee on foreign affairs, a
repor On the Maine which is by far
the most warlike procedure of that
body to date, and lays the foundation
for a declaration of war on the Maine
incident. The language of the report
which meets the public demand is SO
outspoken that misconstruction is abso-
lutely impossible.
cit is the opinion Of the committee"
says the report, s'that the time to inter-
pose has arrived, that Intervention to
step the war and secure the national
independence of Cuba shall at once
take place" The foreign relations
apparently went out of its
way to show the country that it disap-
proved Of the Mckinley message and
its report will stand conspicuously in
as q rebuke to the weakness of

ON an Appeal.

WAsHINGroS, April I'm the United
States supreme court a decision was
rendered yesterday in the matter of
the claim of the New York Indians
to the proceeds of the sale of 1000, 600
acres of land formerly owned by the
Indians in the state of Kansas. The
lands were sold by the government
and the proceeds covered into the
treasury of the United States. The
Indians brought suit and lost their
case in the our of claims. Yester-
days opinion reverses the decision
and gives them the money, amounting
to about 81, $50, 900. Justice Brown
said the Indians had never made any
formal forfeiture of the land and that
the government could not properly
dispose of it. The chief justice and
Justices Harlan and Brewer dissented.

TIE CONSULAR REPORTS.
All the Correspondence of Our Representa-

The Suffering Depicted.

WASHINGTON, April i2-The consul
lar correspondence, with regard to the
situation in Cuba, which was trans
mitted yesterday, was prepared in re-
Spouse to resolutions of Enquiry adopted
by both the house and senate. The
correspondence covers the communica-
tions of Consul Genera Lee at Havana,
Consul McGars at Cienfuegos, Consul
Brice at Matanzas, Consul Hyatt at
Matanzas, Consul Hyatt at Santiago de
Cuba, and Consul Barker at Sagua la
Grande. The communications deal
largely with the distress and suffering
which exists in all the districts, but
Gen. Lee reports quite fully upon the
DEGREES of the government with regard
to autonomy and other political phases
of the situation.

The time for the attack is believed
to have been fixed for next Tuesday,

their old tricks.
Secretary Long will not confirm the
report that the Key West squadron has
sailed, but another official animated
that it is true the fleet had only gone
to Tortugas, and not to make any
hostile demonstration against Havana.
Secretary Alger has ordered an i'm

to be delivered at once at St. Louis,
for use in Cuba, on General Lees
assurance that army wagons could not
be used there.

Naval officers at Key West advise

American troops to maintain PEACE and
order.
The officers are impatient over the
delay in arranging 10 transport troops
and have telegraphed that every day
lost in landing troops in Cuba will
increase the difficulties which the mill
tary occupation of the island presents.
Captain Sampson has beer advised
that all arrangements for transporting
troops will be completed before tomor-
noon.

RICHMOND, VA. April 12.-The arrival
of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee at his home here
this morning brought one Of the most
remarkable demonstrations yer wit
messed in the capital of the confederacy
where SO many great demonstrations
have taken place. The big yards and
all the space around the depot had
been cleared of trains so as to make
room for the crowd which commenced
to gather hours before the train ar
rived. Whea it pulled into the station
the howitzer battery fired the major
generals salute Of IS guns and the
band played ''Dixie" amid q shout that
fairly lifted the roof from the big car
shed.
The Richmond light infantry blues
battalion, which is the second Oldest
military organization in America, was
drawn up in line and presented arms
as the train rolled in. Many other
military and civic organizations were
on hand to do honor to the distin-
guished visitor.
Governor Tyler and his staff headed
the procession of about $4,000 people
which packed every available space at
the depot and vicinity. The
CHEERs WERE DEAFENING
when the consul general appeared on
the real platform. For 10 minutes he
was given one of the greatest ovations
ever seen here.
'sFitz, Fitz, our own Fitz," was
heard from 10000 throats, and now
and then the band could be heard
playing ssAuld Lang Syne' and "Homs
Sweet Home" In the crowd was no.
ticed Mrs. and Miss Lee. The great
crowd surged back, allowing a pas
sageway for them to reach the platform
where General Lee stood. The band
ceased playing, and the crowd became
quiet, when General Lees strong arms
reached out and clasped his wife and
later his daughter.
The scene of the meeting was affect
ing and many eyes gIistened with
tears. Then the laundering shout
of "~Speech," s'Speech," r~esounded
through the yards. The consul said he
was still in federal harness and could
not discuss the government affairs
publicly.
He waved . farewell to the immense
crowd as the train pulled out. Those
him were laden down with mag
H%ifieent floral designs, including 8
of laurels and Violets presented
the consul general. The train pulled
out at IL 30 for Washington.
