Mr. Cannon's resolution probably led all other" in in'erest, particularly when it b-jcamo known that it was the result of a confe'ence between the author, the president. Senator llanna and othei leading spirits in congress. TUB I.ER INOIDKUT Ct.OBItD. As for General Lee's case, the news of the satisfactory ending of the inci dent, through the withdrawal of the suggestion by Spain, was expected as soon as it was noted that a loophole had been left op-jn Mirough the failure to make the co nplaint in anything like an ofB :U1 Bhapi. Some of the others express the opinion tnatOons'il-Oeneral Lee will not find his poit very congen ial now that he knows he is en unwel come guest in Havana, but the admin istration is relying upon his devotion to the welfare of the Americans in Cuba and American interests generally to submit his own personal wishes to restraint and remain at his post. I .ate in the afternoon Senor Duboac, the Spanish chaige, received a cipher cable from the minister of state at Madrid, Senor Gullon, saying: "You ean disavow the rumor thai any official pplication has been made (or the re call of General Lee." This confirmed Mr. Du hose's riews that a misapprehension had occurred and that some intimation concerning General 1ee had been construed into a request or demand for his recall, which Mr. Dubosc aayi with emphasis, has sever been intended. the publicist and Sign ir Tanisis, mem ber of the chamber of d -puties. Shortly before the meeting Signor Cavulotti seemed in excellent spirits and even joked with his seconds. When the word was given he attacked his oppo nent vigorously. The fi.st two engage ments were without result, but in the tuird Signor Cavaloti received a thrust in the throat that severed his jugular. At first it was thought that he was only slightly injured, but the gravity of the wound was soon (erci ivtd on his put ting bis ' and in his mouth. He with drew it covered with blood and could not litter a word. The doctors and hi? seconds carried him to Zelhno and laid him on a bed in the residence of Coun- tes-i Celiaro. Tracheotomy was per fottned nnd artificial breathing at tempted, but all efforts were useless. Signor Cavalotti expired in ten min utes without speaking a'ain. Signor Macola did not receive a scratch. The news, on reaching the city, caused a great sensation. Numerous denuties and friends hurried to the spot and t here is universal regret over the tragic end of Cavalotti. lie was a lifelong opponent of Sigor Cri pi and was glad to he known as one of the Ita ian politicians who resisted! with all their engeries the tide which, : nnd r tbe auspices of Crispi, carried lift y towards (jcrmany. In lMi.'i, when the Manca Kumana scandal was the sensation of Europe, Signoi Cavalotti, then the leader of the minion government to this country, however, induced a pretty lively debate, as it brought into c mtroversy the old fisheries question on the New Kng'and Boast, which hss been pending between tbe Unit d States and (ireat Britain for hundred years. The statement was made on the floor of the eena'e that there was every reason to believe that hy the passage of the bill the fisheries question could he settle 1 without great effort, as assurances io thst effect had been received from a large and influent ial element in Canada. ALASKA HILL TAKKM UP. The Alaska bill was then laid before the senate, an amendment by Mr. Raw lins (Utah) to section 2, being under consideration. Mr. Carter (Mont.) in charge of the hill, moved to lay the amendment on the the table. The motion prevailed 31 to 71. The bill was read until section 13 was reached. This extended to Canada the bonding privileges on Alaskan trade with Oana la at the port of Wrsngle in Alas ka on condition that certain concessions are given this country by the dominion irovernrnent, among them being the right of on' fishers to enter Canadian ports lor the purchase of bait or other supplies. Mr. Turner of Washington moved to strike ou' of the section that part provid ing for the entering into Canada ports d( American fishermen, He did not, lie laid, make the motion because he was opposition in the Italian chambers, dig- ho'tile to the New Knglami fisheries, coverei! what lie called new promising lode, (ioing through the list of great and little men who were entitled to wear the irrat'd co-s of the order ' f St Lai- are, lie came upon the Dame of Ur. v..orneiit b Iter.. Kight'y conjecturing that it would not I e there except for a CaSii consideration, lie prosecuted hia inquiries until he felt warranted in mak ing ihe public declaration that Signor Ciispi, tiie premier was gudty of iliicit tiallicki-g in decorations. Not long after t.-i had published a pamphlet aa;ii I Ciispi, repeating this charge and a nimt the charge of bribery in the fifth district of Rome, where the premier had ih fctted the, Siei'i n socialist, (iisiieppe de Felice (iotiffr'dal. He even gave notice in tbe chamber of a motion toa .nul the election. When the matter came up Crispi flatly de, lined to make any slaieinent as t t ie qtiar-cl and the chamber sustained by ins action. S gnoi Cavalotti then renewed the at tack in his paper, the Secolo, ol Milan and announced that he would make coinpk.nt, in the courts. This threat he can n il out and in bis denunciation of Crispi to the criminnl authorities he asked forthe examination of the Marquis li Kuifini and Signor Bertl, secretary of the department of decorations, as wit nesses in support of his charges as touch ing Oorneiiua Her, the Panama canal lobbyist. These proceedings, with vari ous mortifications, were continued until the court of cea-tition recently trans ferrin the whole matter to parliament. Pending this decision, however, Signor Cavalo ti proposed the imneamment of bignor Gnspi, then alien from power for tbe disaster in the Abyssinian campaign. To the last he relentlessly pursued Crispi and the latter, on the dealh of his bril liant and fearless adversary, will prob ably see tbe end of the long campaign against him. Will Demand Indemnity. Toaio March 7. On Wednesday last Yano Fulino, the Japanese minister to China, demanded a signed assurance of the payment of the indemnity due next May. The Chinese government in structed Yang-Yu, the Chinese minister at 8t. Petersburg, to urge Russia to evacuate Port Arthur. Itii.,s a deferred but because he deemed it unfair to bur len this measure with a demand upon the dominion governiner.t that it yield c intend m it lias made for a hundred yenrj. Mr. Hale of Maine inquired if Mr. furrier did not think it would he of ad vantage to the United Sta'es to obtain .he fisheries concession from Canada. Mr. Turner replied that it would be of advantage if we coiild obtain it, but he lid not believe it could be obtained. Mr. Hansbrough of North Dakota said thst the committee on public landB was in possession of information that Canada would accept the conditions imposed by the section. He was firmly of the opin ion that the dominion pov. rnment would yield on the fisheries question in view of the concessions made to it by the bill. NOT A LOCAL Qt'K'TION, Mr. Hoar said the fisheries question was not a local one to New England, but a national question, a q"estion, too, par ticularly applicable to the people of the northwest, where the fisheries interest was annually becoming gretter. Mr. Frye said that the p nding bill was of national importance. He thought there never was a better opportunity to sicure c .ncessioiiB from the Canadian government than at the present time, when the Canadian's wanted something from the United States. He did not think the motion ought to prevail, be .a ise we have long been giving Canada much and receiving little in return. Mr. Frye believed that if it were not for the captiousnesa of Canada there would D it be the slightest trouble between this j mntry and (ireat Britain. Mr. Turner's motion to strike out the fisheries portion of the section was de feated by a yea and nay vote 84 to 16. The section was adopted without divii on. Mr. Carter agreed with Messrs Hoar And Frye, concerning the mineral re- fousces of Alaska. Mr. Carter said one uthcrity, in which he said he had the utmost confidence, estimated that in Alaska gold to the amount of 1100.000.- 000 a year would be prod acted in a com paratively snort time.

All sorts of excuses are made to get n board the wreck, but only authorized Liersons, Americans or Spanish, are al oed to set foot on the remains of the lattleship. Iu tiie Senate.

A cablegram just received from Minister Woodford and laid before the cabinet by the presi- lent, says tiie World's Washington wrrespondent, daclare.d that Spain has exhausted every means of raising money or the prosecution of a war without aui cees. All the finacial centres of Eu rope have rejected its overtures. Gen eral Woodford pronounces it an utter impossibility for Spain to secure funds with which to . engage in hostilities against, the United States. In reference to the political conditions which im pelled the ministry to suggest the recall of ('cueral Lee, Minister Woodford s lid that Sagasta was friendly to the U i'.ed States and would make every" effort to preserve peace. The future ner, said General Woodford, lies with tbe people. With a hostile major ity now in the corteB and the probabil ity that this will he continued at the forthcoming elections, the overthrow of the Sagasta ministry would be likely. Tiie succeeding ministry would be pledged to war in order to avoid revolu tion. If tbe Sagasta ministry retains power General Woodford believes that Spain would endure humiliation rather than declare war against the United States. AdvlcftH From Honolulu. Honolulu, March 1.
