RESOLUTIONS TABLED.
Were Considered as m Indirect At tack Upon the Aiministrn-
 tons Course Tn Cuba

Washington. June 4.-The house committee on military affairs yester- day voted to table the resolutions of inquiry, addressed to the war depart ment relative to expenditures in Cuba. The action was on party lines, and the democrats gave notice of fil- ing minority reports. One of the resolutions by Mir. Goldfogle, of New York, asked for detailed information on expenditures, etc, during the American administration in Cuba, an other by Mir. Bartlett, Georgia, asked for information relative to the sal ary, compensation, etc, paid to Gov.- Cen. Wood. A third resolution, by Mir. Slayden. Texas. asked for list of officers who had been retired soon after promotion.
 It was stated that the action in tabling the resolutions was because they were looked upon as an indirect criticism of the administration's \ course in Cuba.
