orr-

whelming vote of 64 to 6 the senate yesterday adopted a concurrent resolution favorable to Cuban belligerency and independence. When this result was announced the densely packed galleries broke into long continued applause, which the vice president checked with difficulty.

The result was reached after a day of fervid speeches, which at times aroused the crowd of spectators to enthusiastic demonstrations. The keen public interest iu the subject was evinced by the presence of the largest crowd since congress assembled. The representatives of foreign powers were numerously in attendance, rhe occupants of the diplomatic gallery, including Ministers Mendonca of Brazil, Hatch of Hawaii, Lazzo-Arriaga of Guatemala, Rengifo of Columbia, and Baron Von Kettler of the German embassy. Senor Dupuy de Lome, the Spanish minister, was not present, but two of the attaches of the Spanish legation occupied seats with the other diplomats.

The main feature of the debate was the speech of Senator Sherman, chairman of the committee on foreign relations. As a rule the veteran senator from Ohio speaks with reserve and conservatism, so that it was the more surprising when he arraigned Spain and i\or Governor General Weyler in the most merciless and scathing manner, jir. Sherman read specific instances in which Weyler was pictured.as stripping young girl captives and making them dance before the Spanish troops.

Other speeches were made by Mr. Lindsay of Kentucky, Lodge of Massachusetts, Cattery of Louisiana and Allen of Nebraska. The voting began at 4 o'clock according to agreement. It was simplified by the withdrawal of conflicting amendments, so that only three votes were necessary. The first, disposed of the resolution of Mr. White of California limiting the action of congress to a request on the president to grant belligerency. This was tabled, o? to 12. The amendment of Mr. Allen directing the president to recognize the Cuban republic as independent met like defeat, 52 to 7.

Then came the final vote. The resolution in full is as follows: •'.Resolved, by the senate (the house of representatives concurring) that in the opinion of congress a condition of public: war exists between the government of Spain and the government proclaimed aud for some time maintained by force of arms by the people of Cuba and that the United Slates of America should maintain a strict neutrality between tin contending powers, according to each all the rights of belligerents in the ports and territory of the United States. ^0 '•Resolved, that tiie friendly offices of the United States shall be offered by the president to the Spanish government for the recognition of the independence of Cuba."

The vote on the committee aud the Cameron resolutions resulted, 64 yeas to 6 nays. The senators who voted in the negative were Caft'ery, Chilton, George, Hale, Morrill and Wetmore.

The announcement of the result was greeted with great applause in the galleries.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.

The Cuban Question Not Taken Up, Heard From. WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.—There was an

enthusiastic demonstration in the house yesterday, when Secretary Cox of the senate, shortly before 4 p. m. in the afternoon, appealed and announced the passage by the upper branch of congress of the Cuban resolutions, but the matter did not come up in any other form during the day.

After encountering the unexpected opposition of Mr. Boutelle Thursday the house leaders concluded to postpone taking up the resolutions until the legislative bill was disposed of.

The whole day in the house was spent in the consideration of the legislative appropriation bill and considerable progress was made. An agreement was reached whereby the bill to change the compensation of United States attorneys and marshals from the fee to the salary system is to be offered as an amendment to this bill. An amendment offered by Mr. Tawney (Rep., Minn.) to provide that the members shall have $100 per mouth for alerk hire throughout the year, insteaS. of during the sessions only as is now the case, provoked the charge that it was a "salary grab." Mr. Payne (Rep., N, Y.), who was in the chair, ruled it out on a point of order. An attempt was made to overrule the chair, but he was sustained—102 to 43. The provision for senators' clerks was then stricken out with the avowed intention of effecting an "equitable adjustment" with the senate later.

MAIL .ADVICto riwwi CUBA.

They Differ Greatly From Those Sent Ont by Spanish Censorship. TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 29.—Yesterday's

mail from Cuba brings three letters from and to different sources announcing outrages which are stated in the dispatch given below directed to Sen ator Morgan in Washington by Rafael Portuondo, Cuban secretary of state, who left for Washington last night:

In Quatao, seven miles from the suburbs of Havana, on Saturday, Feb. 22, at half past 2 the insurgents retired from the town. Three hundred Spanish soldiers immediately entered, murdering noncombatants to the number of 22, among whom were some Spaniards, sick men, boys of *15 years and a? gJ I man of 72. The violation of young jTis was prevented by the protest of Spanish residents. Fifteen insurgent noncombatants have been taken to Mariando for trial. This news has been confirmed by living witnesses who have just arrived from the scene of the butchery.

The details of the battle at Palo Prieto, between Santa Clara and Placeta, about Feb. 20, have arrived. The result is considered more important than the battles of Peralejo Coliso or Lascacaos. Scrafin Sanchez commanded the Cubans and General Palanco the Spanish. The outcome was the greatest triumph the Cubans ever had, the Spanish loss being 700. General Palanco was severely wounded and his horse is now in the possession of Quintin Bandera. In their flight many Spaniards threw themselves into the river.

The Spaniards attacked a small detachment of scouts who soon overtook the main \iy, and after a short fight the fearful machette charge was made prostrating hundreds of Spaniards beneath their terrific onslaught. The severe Spanish losses are attributed greatly to the panic which ensued when "charge with machette" was ordered.

Great enthusiasm prevails here among the Cubans over the announcement that the resolution to recognize them as belligerents was passed by the senate yestt irday afternoon.

Dispatches Ij'rom ISnvaiiii.

HAVANA.

Feb. 29.—General Linares

passed from Suni'elipe by Gabriel while Maceo was near Aguacate, the insurgents to the number of 1,500 under Perica Diaz, Nunez and Castillo, occupying the hills in front, of the column of troops. Other insurgent infantry and cavalry on one flank opened fire upon the column. General Linares ordered forward part of his forces to reconnoiter. The forces involved were in a short time hotly engaged, the insurgents defending their position obstinately and giving back only afoot at a time.

The troops charged with the bayonet enthusiastically and finally dislodged the insurgents, who retreated seven miles, where they made another stand. Another bayonet charge dispersed them, when they left 12 killed and, according to the official report, carried off over 50 wounded. The troops had two killed and seven wounded.

The body of Sebastian Ulacias, the rich planter and owner of the great Tivo Tivo estate, 15 miles east of Havana, who was hanged by the insurgents, lias been brought to Havana,. The whole affair has created amostpaiuful impression.

The insurgents have burned the villages of Guane and Mantua. The main force of the insurgents has passed uorth of La Macagua in Ma tanzas.

The insurgents have burned the buildings of the Vista Hermosa estate. Brigadier General of the Civil Guards Emiliano Lono has been appointed military governor of Havana. General Suarez Valdez has been appointed to a similar position iu Pinar d^l ivi

Timely Arrival of the Police Prevent a Blot in Pittsburg. PITTSBURG, Feb. 29.—The meeting

last night of Labor Assembly 300 (window glass workers) broke up in a row and only the opportune arrival of police prevented a serious riot. Simon Burns, the deposed president, started trouble by objecting to certain sections of the minutes .relating to his deposition. Master Workman Campbell overruled the objection, when Burns' friends, among them a number of Belgians from Jeannette, who mobbed Campbell and Winters at that place last Wednesday, howled a vigorous protest.

After quiet had been restored a motion was carried, 188 to 14, authorizing the present administration to handle the finances.

About this time a fight in the rear of the hall between sympathizers of the factions diverted attention from business and the assembly was declared adjourned. Then the fun began and pandemonium reigned until the police forced their way through the excited crowd and commenced the work of clearing the hall, which required over a half hour's time. It kept a force of eight or ten officers busy for some time after clearing the streets and restoring order. •,

Anarchists to Organize.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 29.—A local paper says the anarchists of the city will soon organize under the leadership of Pietro Gori, the Italian anarchist, who was formerly the instructor of President Caruot's assassin. Gori arrived in the city several weeks ago and attracted considerable attention by attending several social events where Prince Luigi, Aing Humbert's nephew, was a guest.

Ship Driven Ashore.

PENSACOLA, Fla., Feb. 29.—The British ship Mable Taylor, hence for Rio with a cargo of lumber, crossed the ballast night. After passing the outer buoy the ship encountered a southerly gale and was driven ashore on the south end of Caucus shoals. She is going to pieces and will prove a total loss. The vessel's cargo is fully insured.
