Washington. Apr. 13.-The leaders of the house expect to see the Cuban re- cfprccity bill passed the present week but they admit that the debate may be prolonged so that the final vote may not be reached until next week. As the debate is without a rule it can be drawn out practically as long as any body desires to speak, but the leaders believe the general debate will exhaust itself by Thursday at the latest.
 Mir. Dalzen will close the general de- bate in favor of the bill. When the measure is thrown open under the five minute rule. Q great many amendments will be offered by democrats, with 2 view Of opening up a way for amend ing the schedules of the Dingley tariff law. Such amendments will be held to be not germane- to the bill. and ap- peals will be taken from the rulings of the chair on the general tariff amendment. but it is certain that with possibly one exception the appeals will be unsuccessful.

 If he should go out before General Brooke is retired the latter, who is General Miles senior both in service and in age, would undoubtedly be made lieutenant general. As General Brooke would necessarily hold the position but a brief period before his retirement fer age, General S. B. NJ. Young would likely succeed General Brooke and Gen oral Chafee's promotion would follow two years hence.
