His Resolution \Vas Adopted Without Opposition. WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. —The serenity of the senate when the session opened today gave little evidence of the exciting scenes yesterday. The galleries wele well filled . in anticipation of a. renewal of hostilities, ’but business soon was directed into routine channels, with the understanding that the Sanguilly Cuban resolution would come up as unfinished business. -' The house bill was passed to prevent trespassing and for the protection of na- tional parks. Mr Quay (Rep, Pa. ) endeavored to take up the bill for a national commission to investigate labor problems, etc. He offer- ed a substitute for the house bill, provid- ing for a commission of five senators five members of the house and nine civilian members who are to inquire into questions affecting immigration, labor, agriculture, manufacture and business Mr. Hale (Rep, Me.) promptly objected to going on with the measure, remarking that it was a gigantic scheme to establish . 1. lot of high priced officeholders. The bill then went over. The Indian appropriation bill was then taken up, Mr. Allen wanting it distinctly understood that nothing was to interrupt the rights of the Cuban question to come up at l o o‘- .ock. The amendment referring the attorneys’ claims against the old scttlers’ Cherokee fund was agreed to, with an amendment excepting claims aheady settled. Mr. BuiroWs (Rep, Mich.) made the statement that the attornevs already had received the enonnous sum of $198, 000. The Cuban Matter. The Sanguilly lcsolution was laid be- fore the senate, according to the agree- ment, at last night’s session Senator Pettigrew moved to lay it aside and go on with the appropriation bill. Senator White took the floor to continue his speech, and Senator Frye, standing in the main aisle, appealed to the senate to send the resolution back to the calendar because Sanguilly had sought for and ob- tained a pardon. No one would accuse him, he said, of truckling to Spain, but he was opposed to firing burned powder. Senator Morgan antagonized the p1oposition of Senator Frye, and read a resolution which he had prepared, calling for all the information in the possession of the executive with re- gard to another American citizen, George Washington Aguirre, who was imprisoned on July 4, 1896, and who has remained in prison since that date. Mr Morgan cited the facts in the Aguirre case and called attention to the significance of the date. All the time that Mr. Morgan was talking Senator White retained the floor, ready to continue his speech, and Mr. Pettigrew was vainly endeavoring to get a vote on the Indian appropriation bill. Mr. Morgan called attention to the fact that Aguirre’ s case was authenticated by Colonel Ethan Allen, and Mr. Hoar sug‘ gested that he thought it was Ethan Al- len of the Revolution that he referred to. A dozen senators were on their feet to dis- cuss the resolution, and Senator Gray in- sisted that the resolution be amended by inserting the word “alleged, ” as referring to the facts set forth, and this was agreed to. . Senator Call assured the senate that he knew George Washington Aguirre to be a native born American citizen who enlisted in the Cuban war. Senator White said that he would yield the floor for a vote on M01 ga 11’ 8 resolution, but for no other purpose. The resolution was adoptcd without op- position. ' In the House. A question of privilege over a minor 'matier between Mr. Miles (Md) and Mr. Hopkins (1115.) occupied the attention of the house for a short time today. This was the first of the six days at the close of the session on which motions could be entertained to guspcnd the rules by a two- thirds vote, and the speaker recognized Mr. C. W. Stone (Rep, Pa.) to move the passage of the senate bill providing for an international monetary conference looking to an international agreement for the free coinage of gold and silver. Mr. Quigg (Rep, N. Y.) demanded a second. Conferences at IIIndrid. MADRID, Feb. Ski—Extreme reserve is maintained in oflicial circles and much importance is attached to the secret confer- ences between the premier, Senor Canova del Castillo, and his ministers on the state of the war in Cuba.- The procedure of the United States consul general, Gen- eral Fitz Hugh Lee, is regarded as being “intolerably high handed. ” The government is disposed to investi- gate and meet the reasonable demands of the United States and the claims of Amer- ican citizens. It is further determined to punish those who are found guilty of hav- ing inflicted violence upon Dr. Ricardo Ruiz, the American citizen who is alleged to have been beaten to death in the prison at Guanabacoa. El lmparcial says, “The Americans are availing themselves of the European trou- - bles over Crete and mean to precipitate McKinley into a quarrel with Spain.” The paper advises the government to prepare Spain's defenses by sea and by land, main- taining that Spain has less to lose than the United States in the event of war. Sanguilly’s Release. WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.—-—Secretary Olney, with the official notification of Sanguilly’e pardon by the queen regent of Spain in his hands, visited President Cleveland at the White House today an hour before the "cabinet met. It is believed that a similar notification has been cabled to Acting Captain General Ahumada at Havana, and that Sanguilly will leave Havana for the United States 011 the steamship which sails tomorrow, after giving his parole not to participate in the Cuban insurrection.
