three resolutions on that aubjx-t One
of these came by unanimous vote of the
committee on foreign relations, and
railed for the immediate ami uncondi

in Havana.
Another resolution by Allen rails on
the pre-ident to protect efTeiti vcly
American citizens in Cuba, ami for that
purjsse to send battle-ships to Cuban
waters.
A third resolution, by Hill, was
agreed to, requesting the werctary of

Lee relative to Americans
imprisoned in Cuba.
A sensational episode occurred late
in the day, during the consideration of
the Indian bills. Several of tlm New

Washington, Feb. .!. The feature
of the session of the house was the ap-s-urani'u
of William J. liryim, late
lVmocratic. candidate for president, on
the floor. He haa come to the city to
attend a dinner given in his honor by
John (. McLean, of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, and, as an ex-nieiuls-r, was
cntith-d to the privilege of the fhsjr.
He came in with Mc.Millin, Maguire,
Hulm-r and ex-Congressman (leorge F.
Williams. He was immediately escort
ed to the cloakroom, where bu divested
himself of hia overcoat, his entrance
not having been generally observed,
ilia presence soon became noised alsuut
however. The iMnocrut ie, members
deserted their seats and hurried to greet
him. After a few minutes he walked
calmly down the aisle to hia old seat.
The DemiH-rats gave him a round of
hearty upplause, the eoplo in the gal
leries craned their necks and took up
the demonstration. There were several

Seattle, Feb. 2(1. The arrests last
night of Mack McAlpin, William

a Dl-year-old Isiy, led the slice into a
nest of counterfeiters, us well as thieves.
It is not thought that any spurious coin
Iota Iss'ii passed, and the specimens
obtained by the police show such work
manship that it seems hardly possible
that much of it could ts winked otT.
The evidence obtained waa found in a
cabin occupied by the throe men. The
tools were not discovered, but it is be
lieved they are atvreted somewhere
alsuit the cabin.
In addition to this, the police have
indisputable evidence that the men now
in custody were doing a wholesale burg
lary business. Their cabin was well
supplied with all kinds of household
giMsls. cigars, tobacco, etc., a great deal
of which has been identified as In-longing
to other K-rsons.

New YorJc, March 1. A ss-i ial to
the Herald from Havana, via Key West,
says:
Americana are flis king in from the

most critical. The rumor, whether
true or false, has gone ubroad that the
American government would not in

the country are not interfered with.
Unless something firm and decided
and strongly American is done by our
government in Washington, Americans
ure in danger of their lives.
The murder of Huiz and the demand
for the release id Scott are the sole
topics of conversation. The govern

to change the Hubject of conversation by

failure.
The amusement and the great hilarity
which were observed in the palace have

Senator Hale has just received at the

New York, March 1. A World special
from Havana says:
The state department refuses to
answer (b-m-ral Lee's cabled questions,
whether or not it w ill sustain his de
mands that Spanish out rages iiin
American cease and that the liberty
and treaty rights of citizens of the
I'liiti-d States Ik- roSoete. by the Span

Ahuinada on Friday that Scott Is
brought out of close coutincmciit mid

not done by Saturday, and Oeiieral I-ce
cabled to Secretary Olney the facts,
asking him how many Warships were
on the Florida coast, and if one would

Not one word in reply to the ques
tion has come from Washington up to
Wednesday, four day after the state
department had Ih-cii askisl by the
consul general in an emergency if la
could rely Uhui his government fully
sustaining him in protecting the citi
rens of his country.
The Spanish authorities do not in
the least p-shvI treaty stipulations
that no American prisoner must he
kept iu solitary confinement more than
live days, and must U- acquainted with
the charge against him within twenty
four hoiiis.
No American prisoner ever was
brought out of solitary conlincmcnt iu
a dark cell within the time ssvitiis.
The American colony is bordering on
a panic, now that there is no lu-o ef

Washington unless congress compels it
to send a fleet immediately.

After the dramatic Cuban debate in
the senate y.-terday, the discussion to
day was comparatively spiritless. The
galleries were packed, however, in ex
lactation of interesting development",
hut there whs no incidents during the
day that awakened more than passing
intere-t. The- Indian bill was consid
ered up to 1 1. M., w hen for four hours
a general discussion of the Sanguilly
case and of the pardon occurred.
Frye said at the outset that the San
guilly resolution should be retired.
Morgan a-ked for the adoption of
another resolution calling for informa
tion a to the imprisonment of (ieorge
Aguirre. He ul-o reviewed the San
guilly case, declaring that the action
of the s- iiate yesterday had warned
Spain against a collision w ith the Unit
ed States, and had moved the queen to
the unusual expedient of a pardon by
cable. The- senator severely criticised
the president and secretary of state for
ull'-ged inaction in this case.
Lodge and Call spoke on various
pha-es of Cuban atrocities, ami Hale
and White deprecated the Cuban agita
tion. A resolution by Call calling on
the president for information on behalf
of the death of liuiz ill Cuba went over
to tomorrow. The Sanguilly resolution
went to the callendar by general con

of plesellt interest.
The rest of the day was given to the

Corhett Kit.-iuinioiis prizefight were
brought to tin- attention of the house
committee on interstate and foreign
c meice t.iday by Lev. Wilbur F.
Crafts, with the request for speedy and
radical action by that committee. Mr.
Crafts is secretary of the National He

mental in securing congressional action
against prizefighting and against lot
teries, lie presented to the committee
the draft of a hill to stop seiisut iolial
reports of pri.etights, representing that
most newspapers would 1h glad to
omit the det.ids of pugilistic, events
from their columns if they were Hot
driven to publish them by the enter
prise of less scrupulous rivals.
The committee made some immaterial
changes in the lull, and then, by a prac
tically unanimous Vote, instructed Mr.
Aldi ifh, of Illinois, to rcsirt it to the
hoii.e. The text of the lull follows:
"Section 1. That no picture or de

"Sec. 2. That any person sending

such dramatic i- r-oi il exchange be
tween the conspicuous f--'ure of the
senate as to make the day one of the
most memorable in the annals of the
upts-r branch of congress. Cuba was
the theme, and it .-" -med to stir all the
is-nt-up emotions of months. It brought
the complete di-placeineiit of appropria
tiou bills, threatening their failure, and
the advancement of th-Cuban question
to the Verv front of senate bu-im-s. It
disclo-ed "also that the resolution de
nianding of sp.in th- immediate and
unconditional relea f Julio Sanguilly,
having on a test vote secured the right
of way, will be re-f l by protracted
debate.
The Allen re-olution for s- n ling
battle-ships to Cuba came up soon after
the senate os l,ed, lit I 1 A. M., lllld
All'-n seicroly arraigned Spain for it
cruelties against women uud children.
Morgan, who rept.rte-I the resolution
for the immediate release of Sanguilly,
followed in a calm speech, reciting the
breach of treaty rights in Sanguilly'
case.
Daniel, in a fervid plea for Sanguilly,
stirred up all the latent pa-si..n in the
senate. lie spike of Spanish outrage
to American citizens and insults to
American official.
When Hah- sought to interject qu.-s-tions,
Dani'-l suggestively stated that
he would yield in due time, whether it
be to the organ of the captain-general
of Cuba or of the queen of Spain, or of
any one else. In view of Hale's atti
tude on the Cuban question, the mean
ing was unmistakable. Personal feel
ing was quieted, however, by explana
tions. This was followed by a series of ex
plosive incidents, culminating in a ring
ing statement by Frye, that if he had
his way, a warship would start forth
with for Havana. This sent a thrill
through the crowded galleries, which
broke into long-continued and vocifer
ous applause, which the vice-president
tried vainly to restrain.
Mills exultantly declared that the
galleries Were filled with American
citizens, who had a right to express
their feelings.
Speeches followed in quick succes
sion from Lssfgc, Teller, White ami
Sherman. The latter earnestly sup
ortfd the resolution. With the Cuban
resolution placed directly before tho
senate on a vote, White tisik the fhs.r
in opposition, s-aking throughout tho

,i..,on found it impossible to consider
fullv all que-iion the subject present
ed and have been unable in many ca-e
to 'reach more than general conclusions.
our ob.crvatin.eV th. y say, "have
,-loarlv demonstrated the inexpediency
of attempting to regulate any of the
fi.heri-s described by a rigid code of
enictmeiit. owing to their constantly
changing character and condition, and
we therefore urge, in the event of joint
action bv th- government, that a per

which shall be charged with direct
supervision of these ti-heries, and ahull

require."
The commissioners say no system of
regulations can be properly adminis
tered except by the licensing or regis
tration of fishermen, as a basis of re
stricting the character and amount of
apparatus employed in each locality.

A Frelnl.t Train liitt-hrd on a California
Kus'l.
D-coto, Cal., Feb. 27. A little ris k
wedg.-d between u crossing plank and a
rail caused a trainwretk in a cut one
mile west of Midway between Tracy
uud Livermore yesterday, in which un
engine and six car were derailed and
three men narrowly escaped with their
live.
An extra freight in charge of Con
ductor K. Martin and Engineer J.
M.-ade left West Oakland at :20 A. M.
for Tracy, via Livermore, picking up
und setting out several cats on the way.
The train was running only about
eighteen or twenty miles un hour when
the obstruction was encountered. En
gineer M.-ade, Fireman Seymour and
lfrakeinan Hrnwn were on the engine.
A s.s.n us Meade felt tho shook he
shut off steam and set hi air brakes,
but the momentum carried tho engine
100 feet along the ties. It then top
pled over against the high bank, while
the cars in the rear were piled up in a
heap. The bank carried tlie cab away
and with it the head brakeman, Brown.
The lireman was thrown from the oab
several feet back. Fireman Seymour
lauded on his head in the bank und
rolled almost under the toppling cars,
lirown fell on his face, hut wa unin
jured. The engineer kept hi gent,
ami wa not injured in the least, but
it is miraculous how all csc:icd to tell
the tale. Traffic wa bl.s-keil several
hours. The fireman had his leg some
what bruised, but nothing serious.

the entire Pastine family was very ill. !
Doctors were called in, hut tts late to
save the lives of the two young boy.
Pastine and his wife and two children
are in a dangerous condition, hut will ,
