Members Want to Know When Oar
 Troops Will Be Withdrawn.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. It, For the first time since the fall of the Palma government the Cuban question was brought up in the senate. Several members tried to draw out some au- thoritative statement as to when the United States will withdraw its troops from the island and when an election will be held. This information was not forthcoming.
 Senator Warren, chairman of the mll- itary committee, who was in charge of the military bill under debate, and Senator Cullom, chairman of the for eign relations committee, admitted they had no official information as to the purpose of the president Their manner indicated their perfect willing. ness to leave the matter in the hands of President Roosevelt.
 Senator Bacon started the debate by asking Senator Warren if he had re. ceived any word from the war depart ment as to increased expenses for the army due to the Cuban crisis.
 The attitude of the United States MT. Bacon said. was not a matter which rested solely with the executive and while he was not unmindful of the fact that congress was not taking the part in the affair it should 1t appeared to him that the United States was es tablishing in Cuba a government o1 unlimited power.
 A Havana dispatch says that negro generals, representing so per cent oi the Liberal party, hotly denounce the party leaders for the lukewarm recep ton of their demand for a larger rep resentation of negroes on staff and file when the orders from Washington te increase the rural guard are carried in to effect.
 General Estenoz says the jobs and claims of the committee of the party are as bad as was the Palma govern ment, the negroes getting nothing. He declared they were ready to take uI arms, G,s they were being driven te fresh revolt. Their policy. he said needed changing by the old method revolution by negro Cubans, who real ly constituted the Cuban people.

 Rerarding Dead Architect.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The trial of Harry K. Thaw for the murder of Stanford White was resumed here to- day, with the defendants wife, Evelyn Eesbit Thaw, on the stand. The story of her life told by the young woman has greatly intensified the already keen interest in the celebrated case. District Attorney Jerome probably will begin his cross organization of Mrs. Thaw tomorrow.
 Just how severe Mir. Jerome will be In his questioning of Mrs. Thaw is not known as yet, but it is believed he will do all in his power to break down and lessen the force of her testimony as to the story she told Harry Thaw of her alleged betrayal by Stanford White.
 Not half the degradation to which she had been subjected in the mirrored room was revealed by Mrs. Thaw in court" said Dolphin Michael Delmas Thaw's counsel. So terrible was heI whole account, said the lawyer, that il

made him sob with emotion, hardened though he was to stories of misery. He expressed himself confident of obtain ing an acquittal for the accused young Pittsburger and added that if Mrs. Thaw had not forgotten in the excite ment of her court appearance many of the details of her experiences the defense would not have had to offer another witness. '
 It was on his return from Philadel- phia that Delmas was interviewed. T went to Philadelphia to get rid of the trial for day or two," he said, but while there learned all could about the case of Harriet Thaw. second cous- in of Harry Thaw, who is confined in Frankford asylum.
 ''I am much encouraged by the pres ent outlook" he added. q think the jury must have been impressed by Evelyn Thaw's story. Before we put her on the stand heard her story only once. There was no rehearsal, no at- tempt at dramatic play.
 ''The story as she told it in the court room Is not half as tragic as it was when she told it to me then. If she had told in court the details she told me there Is not jury in the wide, wide would that would convict Harry Thaw.
 "Only once in my life have I been so touched with emotion as was when Evelyn Nesbit Thaw first told me her story. That was at the grave of my father when the last clod of earth was thrown on his coffin.
 ''As I sat there, as a lawyer, listen ing to the girl narrate the story of what she had suffered at the hands of Stanford White the tears welled into my eyes. and fairly sobbed.
 .'She told me then that when she found Stanford White in that mirrored room he seemed to her like big gor- rilla.
 "T screamed ln terror she told me.
 "She added many details. which if she had told to the jury there would have been no need on our part to pro- duce further evidence.
 As we had not rehearsed ouY parts. I depended simply on her memory as to facts. The presence Of the crowd cd courtroom disconcerted her to the extent that she omitted some of the most revolting features.
 "Yst never have I seen a woman with such strength of character as the fraiI little wife. Tn conferences with the lawyers for the defense she as- serts her opinion. and nothing can change if. Even the elder Mrs. Thaw has been obliged to yield to the wishes of Harry's wife"
 Mir. Delmas in answer to a question regarding the determined effort of the defense to introduce the will of Harry i'haw said:
 This is the main part of our de sense. A ccdlcil fin the will provides sJo.oOO for use in prosecuting Thaw's murderer.
 "The cocidil sets forth that he ex- pects to he murdered. This plainly shows that Thaw at the time he made the will believed that Stanford White intended to kill him
 -Our case is a short one. and unless fhe district attorney prolongs it we can prove all that we wish to establish be fore the week ends"
 If Is expected that when Mr. Jerome takes the girl wife in hand for cross examination she will be put through an ordeal compared with which the enc she has just Dassed will be trivial
