Denial of the Report That. an Agent Has Been Sent to the Island. WASHINGTON, April 8.——A copy of. the Cuban concurrent resolutions was deliv- ered at the executive mansion this morn- ing by one of the senate clerks. The orig- inal engrossed copy was sent to the depart~ ment of state, according to custom, where proper record will be made of it. and the resolutions will be printed in the Revised Statutes, as required by the last printing bill, whether any action be taken on them or not. The engrossed copy will then be returned to the president for such action as he sees fit to take. _ Secretary Olney will not make 'any statement in regard to the report that an agent has been sent to Cuba to collect in- formation as to the situation there for the use of the president. Secretary Lamont, however, who would know if any such‘ac tion had been taken, said that there was no truth whatever in the report. Secre- tary Olney’s private secretary said also that he knew of no such detail and said he would probably know if any had been made. While Secretary Olney and officers of the state department and of the administra- tion generally decline to talk for publica- tion about the Cuban question or any other diplomatic subject that is pending, the attitude of the president with regard to Cuba has nevertheless become well known. There is on file in the state de- partment a great mass of correspondence giving in detail the facts as to the exact condition of'aflairs, the size of the Cuban army, its ability to maintain itself and the political and personal history of the Cuban leaders. . President Cleveland and Secretary 01- ney both profess to be in sympathy in a general way with the struggle of the Cu- bans for independence, but they do not be- lieve that their rebellion is based on a. suf- ficiently solid foundation to warrant its recognition as a war or its undrllled sol- diers as worthy of the name of belligerent-.3. The administration thinks, moreover, that the Cuban government is largely a myth, and for this reason Secretary Olney has not recognized the legatlon in this, city,- even in the most informal way. Whether the president and Secretary Olney will change their views or consent to take action in view of the declaration of congress remains to ‘be seen. , Americans VVln Everything.

LONDON, April 8.—-The Daily News says in an editorial: “The Cuban resolution of the United States congress will probably rest who're it is forever. It is a. good thing that it is passed, because this gets it out of the way of the fire eaters on either side of the Atlantic andsecures for it the pri- vacy of the archives of the state depart- ment.” ‘ —-Advertise in the GAZETTE. ridgeport, Conn.

' In recent years the size and number of icebergs seen in the south Atlantic and south Pacific oceans have both been enormous, and'various suggestions have been made to account for the phenome- non. Evidently something unusual has been going on in the unknown regions surrounding the south pole. The latest suggestion bearing on this subject comes from Mr. H. C. Russell, who has presented it before the Royal Society of New South Wales. His idea, in brief, is that there has been an extraordinary outburst of the great volcanoes known to exist within the Antarctic circle, and that the consequent shaking of the ice4 clothed shores of the Antarctic conti- nent has resulted in the breaking off of immense fragments of ice, which have afterward been driven northward by winds and currents—Youths Com- ponion.
