Evidence In Jastlflcatlon of Reeognltlon As Belligerents Laid Before^Secretary .. ,Olney Ie«t«rd»fi tT j^£-

WaiSh'ingtton, Jan. 7.—Several members of the house consulted the leaders todaiy regarding -tihe 4ntt roduotio® erf olutions for the recognition of the 4n» surgenlte of Cuba as belligerents. Chairman Hitt of tlhe committee on foreiign affairs said ithait he had no objection to -the totroduction of aresoftutions on the subject, althoughneSoaubHtos covering- every phase of tihe questdon !had been introduced and were now be'fore ithe committee on foreign affairs, which was preparing a report. Some'of the members who consulted Speaker Reed concerning immediate comsiideratiioin of a resolution for recogniBJaon of the Cuban insurgents were Informed' that 'the matter was one of so muuih •impoiftaince ithait 4t wals well to thaive it tChoroughly considered to comlmittee. It ffls quite 'likely 'that the Cuban question will not come up for discusalion/ until 'tihie committee on foreiign affairs noakes a repont.

Representative Sulzer oif Ne^w York City, who has .been- prominently (identified with tihe movement to secure the recogrnition of 'the Cubants as belligerents, called ait ithe sitaite departmemt today, accompanied by Pireslidedit Paima, of the Cuban revolutionary comimifctee to this country Secretary Quesda, Horaltion1 Rubens, a prominent Cuban sympaithifeer, and Manuel Sangrtfil'ly, a brother' of the Samguilly mow/ Iheld in Mora Caistle Hatvaina.

Secretary CXln^y was about to ielave for 'Che cabinet, meeting, so ithe parity did rcojt: see him.' TJiey left a large bun die of papers for ihis tnlspecUon. It is believed the mato purpose of 'tihe v.Mt was to secure energetic action to behalf of the ton prisoned Sa/nguHly, whb claims American Citizenship. ASUde from ifhis direct purpose, the visit was doubtless witlh a view to calling attention 'to Ithe advance of 'tihe insurgents to the viciniiity of Havatnfa.

It lis lelarned thait Itlhe chief purpose of the leaders of the Cuban revolutionary pair'ty in the United Stotes to coming to Washington today was ito push vigorously tihe movement to secure recognition of the revolutionists by this government. They made to Secretary Olney a brief but forcible presentation of the claims Of ithe imisurgentb to recogruitiOn. In addition^ ithey presented 'to the secretary a greait .number of documents bearing upon the origin, abuses, condition's and present status otf tihe Cuban uprising, collected from officiall archives and unofficial sources.

Recently the house adopted a reeolu'tiSon, upon the recommendation, of the committee on foreign affajils, cabling upon itlhe sitaite department for ail information to its possession concerning the revolution. President Rail ma and his aissociaites ait once began the compilaJt'ion of evidence (to justiificab^oin of theST ca/use and are deitermined ithat congress shall not wamlt for informatiom. It-is probable itlhat the documents given to Secre'tiary Olney, or their substatnoe, will soon be tranismiltted to the house and referred !to tihe foreign affairs committee.

There is a strong sentiment to the house, which Ihas been advanced by t'he recent successes of the Cubans, that th'iis government should do all to tjts power, com^tetent with international uslages, 'to assist the patriots. Mr. Sulzer and several other members are endeavoring to ai^sislt the cause to congress/:

President PaiLma predicits that the iinsurgemts will capiture Havana within three months anid 'that a Cuban republic will be established in six months if it has the recognition of the United States.

A Physician Prescribes Dr. Miles* Restorative Nervine. Dr. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind.:

My daughter Mattie, aged 14, was afflicted last spring with St. Vitus, dance and nervousness, her .entire right side was numb and nearly paralyzed. We consulted a phy-

sician and he prescribed Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine. She took three bottles before we saw any certain signs of improvement, but after that she began to improve very fust and I now think she is entirely cured. She has taken nine bottles of the Nervine, but no other medicine of any kind. Knox, Ind., Jan. 5, '95. H. W. Hostettbr.
