Senator Mason Friday offered the fol-
lowing joint resolution:
That the President O. the Un.ted States Is hereby
requested to withdraw the forces o. tAe Uultef
States as -zpidly as nay be done with coaysaisnce
and safety. ard that on the sth day q July 1850.
al eiyll and military power q the United States
be turned over and surrendered to the people of the
island Of Cuba.
Il cannot believe that Senator Mason IS
serious" remarked Senator Platt. of Con-
necticut. the chairman OF the Senate Com
mittee on Cuba. The Intervention resOlu-
tiOn declares that the military occupation
Of the island shall continue until pacifica-
( ti0n Is accomplished and a government es.
| tablished. We are working toward a gov
ernment OF the people there as fast as
possible, and the municipal elections will
take place next June. Until the govern
ment is firmly established. we must re-
main in Cuba"
The suggestion that the army be
brought back from Cuba cannot be enter
tained at this time" said Senator Teller,
another member OF the committee. The
| people in Cuba are satisfied TO have the
army there, and its presence is not IN
wise"
Mr.. MasOn's resolution IS preceded by a
/ preamble setting forth that In entering
upon the war with Spain the United
/ States disclaimed any disposition or inten-
/ ton 10 exercise sovereignty over the ISL
| ands; that the United States is under
| treaty obligation to give independence 70
| the cuban people; that "the continuance
/ OF the United States in possession of the
| Island has excited the attention of the
/ world, and is exciting the apprehension of
/ the people of Cuba that under the Mon
roe doctrine the island is safe from for
! eign invasion: that the Cubans have
/ shown disposition to make their best ef-
| forts TO govern themselves. and can un-
| douOtcdiy do so withcG: endangering life
or property, and that the United States
| mas done all that could be expected of it
Orders have been issued for the trans
fer OF us men Of the depot battalion of the
| First Infantry from Fort Leavenworth,
| Kan, 10 Havana. Cuba; 1870 men of the
depot battalion of the Fifth Infantry from
| Fort Sheridan, Ill, to Santiago, Cuba,
! and 50 men of the depot battalion of the
| Eighth Infantry from Fort Smelling,
| Mimi, to Havana. These transfers are
| made with a view to the distribution OF
! the men TO companies of active battalions
| in Cuba.
A possible significant feature of the or
| ders for these transfers is that the Sc
| lectiOns are confined to men who have
not less than one year to serve in their
present enlistment. That is taken tC
mean that the military occupation Of
| Cuba Is not likely to be entirely abandon
ed for at least a year to come.

There will be no additional star on the
epaulettes of Gen. Miles and Adit. Gen
Corbin during this session of Congress
The Democratic leaders in the Senate
have decided that the army reorganization
bill, which contains the legislation pro-
noting these two officers, shall not pass.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, the leader
Of the minority in the Senate, stated very
emphatically TO The Post yesterday that
the Democrats would prevent the passage
of the army bill. In fact, Senator Jones
characterized it bluntly as 'rascallty.
The measure provides, among other
things, for an addition OF 5000 men
to the artillery branch of the service, so
that the regular army would consist OF
| 80 900 men. 1t also contemplated doubling
| the number of cadets at West Point, CIV
| ing TO each Congressman the right to APP
point two instead of one, as at present.
| The Democrats do not regard this increase
| as necessary, and also point out that il
| will necessitate large additions TO the
| buildings at West Point, so that the addi-
| tionaI expense is not confined to the sdla-
| ries of the embryo officers.
| Until the Republicans hold a caucus and
decide upon programme of business, nc
| legislation of Importance will be allowed
! TO 20 through the Senate. The Philippines
| government bill, which is now the regular
! order, Will continue TO hold that position
| without reaching a final vote, in order tC
prevent the consideration OF the shipping
subsidy bill, in the passage of which Sen
| atCTs Hanna and Frye are greatly inter
| ested. If the Republican steering com
m;ttee should decide TO withdraw the
| Philippine bill and give the position OF adj
| vantage 10 the subsidy bill, the Democrat:
| will begin a debate of indefinite length
| which Will prolong the session until sum
mer. in case the effort to pass the meas
ure should be persisted in.
There is no probability that the Mica
ragua Canal bill will pass the Senate. Tn
administration is against the bill, in view
of the contention that the ClaytOn-Bulwe
treaty is still In force, and even should tn
House take favorable action, there will b.
no final outcome in the Senate. If tn
-PauncefOte treaty could be rattle,
the administration would be willing 10 le
| Congress enact the Nicaragua bill o
this ratification. however, there is N
! prospect at present.
