Washington, Feb. ia suggestion
that an American commission review
the returns from Cubas presidential
election. over which an armed revolu-
ton has developed, was considered at
the state department today as one pos

though reports received here do not
indicate that the revolving liberals
have made much headway, the Unit

Cerned lest the movement assume
more definite form with the voting
February 90 in Oricnte province,
where the deciding votes in the presi

No decision regarding review of
the returns was reached today The
suggestion grew out of declaration
by Orestes FeTrara and Raimundo Ca
brera, liberal representatives in New
York, that the party would regard
such a step with satisfaction and
would abide bv the result. 1t was
said there had been no indication that
the conservative party might not re-

ANNUAL POSTAL
APPROPR RATION
Bill Contains Provision For

hibit Its Manufacture, I.
tsY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wrasj

Washington, Feb. l6.--With its
added drastic prohibition Legislative
provisions, the annual postoffce ap-
preparation bill, carrying 1892, 600, 900,
was passed by the senate today after
a week of vigorous debate. 1t was
sent back to the house, which will
ask for a conference on the amend
ments.
The senate wrote into the bill a
provision making it criminal offense
to ship liquor into states which pro-
hibit its manufacture and SALE thus
nullifying the statutes of certain pro-
hibtion states permitting the importa-
ton of limited quantities of liquor for
personal consumption.
Another provision would bar from
the mails letters, postal cards, Circu-
lars, newspapers and other publica-
tions containing liquor advertising in
states having laws against such adver-
tsing; violations to be punishable
with fine not to exceed $1,000, or
imprisonment not to exceed six
months for the first or more than one
year for the second offense.
An amendment was added making IL
mandatory on the postmaster general
to renew for another year pneumatic
mail tube contracts in large cities and
providing for a commission to inves-
tigate the tube system with view to
their purchase by the government.
Determined efforts made by the
postoffice committee to increase sec
ond class mail rates and to establish
one-cent postage on drop letters were
made and bitterly contested, and the
proposals finally were thrown out on
a point of order.
