DECIDE ON POLICY TOWARD CUBA. The Democrats Will Not Offer Amendments to the BUI. Any Washington, Pec. 15. The Demo cratic senators, in caucus, practically reached the conclusion not to offer any amendments to the Cuban reciprocity bill, when it is voted on in the senate. The caucus was called at the instance of the Democratic 'steering committee, which presented a recommendation against amendments on the ground that if offered thev. and not the bill itself, would be made the basis of dis cussion. 1 he caucus was an animated one, and was sharply divided on the point at issue, some of the sentaors contending that numerous amendments should be presented, and others holding out against anv effort whatever to change the character of the bill and standing for a straight party vote against it. The caucus continued until after the beginning of the regular daily b !ssion of the senate and in the end the committee won its point. The general trend of the discussion was favorable to the point that the steering committee should be sustained, and even the senators favoring amend ments agreed, after the close of the conference, that the anti-amendment policy had been practically decided on when the Berry amendment was voted down.

Ambrose has completed the inspection of sheep in northern Grant county, and is now making a tour of the upper John Pay country. He says that never before has he seen conditions and prospects more favorable. In the northern part of the county, where hay is scarcest, there has been the largest outward movement of all stock, and especially of sheep. Many sales were made, and numerous herds have been driven out to winter feeding grounds. In the John Pay valley, so far as he has investigated the situation, he finds an abundance of feed and the best range for years. Besides the sheen are generally stronger, better fleeced and in every way lietter condb tioned to meet the winter than for sev eral vears past. hen asked regarding a published statement that thousands of sheep are dying on the range, he said it was prot- ably made by a man who wanted to buy sheep. Also that the buyers have come into the section since trie publica tion of the statement, expecting to buy sheep at their own figures. When such buyers were informed that owners heie have plenty of feed and sheep are in fine condition, they would make no offer for the sheep. On Twenty Mile Ditch.

As the state has at least $100,000 at stake, tho governor has instructed tho attorney general to appeal the case. He has also written to the Oregon dele gation in congress asking them to recommend some attorney in Washing ton to look after the state's case there. The decision of the general land office holds that the title to swamp land inside the Klamath reservation is vested in the Indians and that the state acquired no riuht thereto under the swamp land grant of 1800. Washington, Pec. 15. General J. Tranklin Bell, commander at Fort Leavenworth, was ordered to report here today, and at once started East. The coming of General Bell to Wash ington, while it has more or less to do with matters connected with the gen eral staff college, is admitted by offi cers of the general staff to be for the purpose of consulting with the officials regarding a probable campaign against Colombia should that country continue the movement of troops toward the isth mus.
