WASHINGTON. Dec. S.-After q
political fight lasting an hour and
nalf today the house adopted without
amendment the Overstreet resolution
calling on the postmaster general to
forward to the house committee on
postotfices all papers bearing on the
recent investigation of his department.
The democrats made a vain endeavor

go to the house instead of to the COM
mittee.
The house today adopted the resolu-
ton of Crumpacker instructing the
committee on judiciary to investigate
whether or not Isle of Pines is in
United States territory under the con-
stitution and whether or not the ter
ritory can be ceded 10 a foreign ma
ton without the consent of the house,

The postoffiCe investigation was
brought up in the senate today by
Penrose, who called for his resolution
directing the postmaster general to
.end all records to the postal commit

German defended it.
Debate on the postoffice resolution
was closed by objection to the same
raised by Cullom, who called up the
Cuban reciprocity bill.

The Woods Investigation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The form
er inspector of Cuban posts X. Fos-

military sub committee in the Woods
inquiry today.
The next witness was General Will
son. formerly military governor of Ma
tanZas He said that Bellairs, the AS
sociated Press correspondent, deliber-
ltely and wilfully misrepresented the
facts and conditions in Cuba. When
he (WilsOn accused Bellairs of it the
latter responded that he did it in the
interest of General Wood who was his
friend. General Wilson said that
within three months after Bellairs' ar
rival he notified the Associated Press
of the unreliability of their news and
that they ought not to have such
nan as Rellairs for correspondent.
Apparently no heed was given this
warming.
