He was ap pointed because of his eminent fitness for the place , because of thirty years of con tinuous service In the army , and his con firmation.

The debate on the Elklns resolution In the senate last Friday , when the administration was accused by sev eral senators of having entered Into an agree ment with a syndicate to float the expected Issue ct bonds , Is the pubject ot a letter writ ten by President Cleveland to Senator Caf- fery of Louisiana. The knowledge that such a letter had been addressed lo Mr. Caffery was made public by the latter. It Is In the handwriting of the president and covers six pages of closely written note paper. It Is In full as follows : EXECUTIVE MANSION. WASHINGTON , D. C. , Jan. ! > . 1S3G. My Dear Senator : I have read today In the Concessional Ilec- ord the tlebite In the tijniite on Friday concerning the financial situation and bond issues. I tim amazed nt the Intolerance that lends even excited pnrtltnnolilp to adopt ni n basts of nttnck the unfounded neciratlona and nspcrtlons of n maliciously mendacious and nensatlnnnl nswspiper. No banker or financier , nor nny other human being , has been Invited to visit Washington for the put nose of nrrnnclng In nny way or manner for the dljposltlon of bonds to moot tlio prcsiiit or future needs ot the po'.il reserve. No arrangement of nny kind has been mnde for the disposition of such bonds to nny syndicate , or through the agency of nny syndicate. No assurance of such a disposal of bonds lias been , directly or indirectly , given to any person , In polnr of fact , n decided leaning toward a popular loan nnd ndvertlslnc for bids has been plainly exhibited on the part of the administration nt all times when the subject wus under discussion.

Glllesplo of Lincoln , an Omahan by birth and nlsa a Ncbraikan by education , having graduated from the University of Nebraska six years ago , lias jutt returned from n trip to Cuba and Venezuela. While somewhat In disposed by Uio malarial effect of Venezuela's * ultry climate , Mr. Glllcsple was otherwise ) feeling In the best of spirits , both on ac count of the success of the expedition and the quick passage made en transit , when The Ilec correspondent Interviewed htm. Speak ing ot the trip and the Information gained he raid : "I was exceedingly fortunate to fall In with n party tf correspondents , who had made all arrangements for the trip to Cuba and Venezuela and so became more ot a guest than a fellow correspondent. From Atlantic , which was the meeting place of our party , four In all , wo went direct to Tampa , Fla. , and taking passage on one of the magnificent steamers of the Plant system sailed to Ha vana , Cuba. "IJcfore our arrival In Cuba we were vis ibly reminded a number of times of the pi egress ot hostilities by warlike signs on all sides , so tint on our arrival In Havana we were In no wise surprised to see prep aration ! ; being made for an attack from the Insurgents. "A brief survey of the field convinced me that the generalship was all with the Insur gents , although I did not see Gomez. On the other hand , Campos was In Havana and bedecked with his gold braid and tinsel , was making active preparations for nn at tack , This was undoubtedly what Gomez desired , ns his main point , which shows his generalship , Is to use strategic move ments and thereby exhaust the Spanish , and with this accomplished he quietly slips away. Campos , however , with his Spanish blue blood thinks It Is beneath Ills dignity to resort to these tactics and Is consequently being weakened , while Gomez and Macco nro gaining strength and recruits every day. With the present policy pursued , there Is no doubt In my mind that the Insurgents will win In the end. TOUIUNQ VENEZUELA. "Prom Havana we took a Spanish frigate , crossed the Caribbean sea and arrived In La Guayra early Christmas morning and took the train Immediately for Caracas , which Is but a few miles' Journey. "Wo had been apprised of the celebration to bo held In Caracas on Christmas , but we had no Idea of the outpouring of citizens. To be sure , Caracas Is a large city , yet It seemed that the whole of Venezuela was gathered In the plaza and the streets leading thereto. Naturally as Americans we were shown every attention , In fact , too much for my comfort. I was put through a course similar to what I receive when I return to visit my alma mater , and which we call 'tossing. ' Dut In ths latter case I know I am In tlio hands ot my friends ; In thl.i case I wasn't exactly sure. "Tho Inhabitants seemed to bo filled with ono grand Intoxication of joy , and the shouts of 'Vivo los Estados Unldos' still ring In my ears , whllo the- magnificent statue of G cor go Washington , completely covered with trop ical flowers , appears before me- just as It stood Christmas day In the grand plaza. "Atter visiting the departments of the gov ernment , whore we obtained Information bearing directly upon the controversy , but which I am not at liberty to disclose , we visited the university , which Is a magnificent Institution ; also the Pantheon and other pub lic buildings. Wo then took passage for Ilollvar , crossing the Orinoco and continu ing beyond Epata , crossing the Shomburgk line Into the disputed territory and stopping Just thli side of the Esequlbo. or on the original line which separates old Dutch Gui ana from Spanish Venezuela. "It needed only a sight of the lay of the land to convince mo that my surmise ot Great Britain's Intentions was entirely cor rect. The territory In dispute Is not what England desires , as It Is a regular Jungle , and could not be adapted to any purpose success fully. Neither Ui It the reputed gold therein as generally supposed , as there lias been but little gold found , compared with other parts of the country. But she hag a far more Important object In view , ono that vitally affects the United States and one which the present administration bas allowedito go by default. WHAT ENGLAND WANTS. "I refer to the maritime and commercial trade or tne i-an-Americas , sei m motion by James Glllesple Blalne. "England wants the Orinoco and Its numer ous deltas and with it she would have abso lute control of the trade derived from Its rich vallsys , and with a canal connecting the Amazon , have an outlet for tne exportation of the products of the coffee plantations of Venezuela and Brazil , likenIsa the sugar , vanilla beans , India rubber , fine woods and mineral products of the other Pan-Americas , and thereby deprive the United States of these commodities , which wo do not raise and which the Blalne reciprocity sought t turn our way. Had this reciprocity treaty or arrangenvnt been carried out , and the closer union ot the Pan-Americas been cemented by an administration which could command respect , and then enforce It against the British aggressors , England would not have dared to encroach ao she has. Up to the time of the president's message we were fast becoming a British annex ourselves. Little wonder then tha surprlro ot the Venezuelans on the stand taken by the president. Of coursa they were surprised ; so was the whole of the United States , whllo England was more surprlsjd than any one , with the possible exception of the president him self , when he read the next morning what he had done. "There Is no doubt In my mind that Great Britain's claims are without foundation , as wo ran across nny number of pioofs and English ones nt that to the contrary. With England's present occupation of the Island of Trinidad on the west and her possessions In Guiana on the east , the mouth of the Orlnlco today Is practically within her con trol , and to properly keep her from future encroachments she should be compelled to glvo up Trinidad. Then her possession would all bo cast ot the Esequlbo , which Is the original boundary between Old Dutch Guiana and Spanish Venezuela and to my mind the preosnt boundary between Venezuela and British Guiana. " CONSIDERED COl'PIMiEH'S CASK. Heferrcil < < > a Sitfclnl Committee of Tlirec SfimtorH. WASHINGTON , Jan. 8. The nomination of General Copplnger to bo brigadier general was briefly considered by the senate com mittee on military affairs and referred to a subcommittee consisting of Senators Hawley , Proctor and Bate. It > g believed that the subcommittee will bo able to report at the meeting next week and that the full com mittee will authorize a _ report. Piles of people have piles , but Dewltt'g Witch Hazel Salve will euro them.

The un usual Importance of a successful result , It the attempt Is again mnde , ought to be apparent to every American citizen who bestowd upon the subject a moment's patriotic thought. The Fecrctnry ot the treasury , from the flrst moment that the necessity of another sale of bonds seemed to bo approaching , desired to offer them to the people by pub lic advertisement If they could thus be successfully disposed ot. After full con sideration ho came to the conclusion , to which I fully agree , that the amount or gold In the reserve being now J2U.UOO.COO more than It was In February last , when a sale ot bonds was mnde to a syndicate , nnd other conditions differing from those then existing. Justify us In offering the bonds now nbout to bo Issued for sale by populnr subscription. This Is. the entire matter ; and all those particulars could have been easily obtained by nny member or the senate by simple Inquiry. It Mr. Morpan or any one else , reason- liifr from his own standpoint , brought him self to the belief that the government would nt length be constrained to again sell bonds to a syndicate. I suppose he would have a perfect right. If ho chose to take such steps ns seemed to him pru dent , to put himself In condition to negoti ate. I expect an Issue of bonds will bo advertised for sale tomorrow nnd that bids will ba Invited not only for those allowed by law , but for such other nnd different bonds as congress may authorize during the pendency of the advertisement. Not having had an opportunity to confer with you In person since the present session of congress began , and noticing your partici pation In the debate of last Friday , I hove thought It not amiss to put you in posses sion of the facts and Information herein contained.

At the begin ning ot this congiess the house adopted for Its parliamentary code the rules of the las't renublican coneress. the Fifty-first , with any changes It might adopt on rrcommendatlon ot the committee on rules. These changes were reported to the house by the com mittee today , but with ono exception are unimportant. Ths exception la the mode- of establishing the presence of a quorum , which , after the precedent laid down by Speaker ReeJ In the Fifty-first congress , be came a most Important point of parliamentary practice. In the last congress Speaker Crisp achieved the same result which Mr. Hoes obtained , by a rule under which two mem bers were designated to note- those prestnt and not voting on a roll call. The committee on rules now proposes a rule Introduced by J. Randolph Tucker of Virginia , In the Forty- sixth congress. The rule Is as follows : "Whenever a quorum falls to vote on any question and a quorum Is not present , and objection Is made for that reason , there shall ba a call of the house , and the sergeant-al arms shall forthwith proceed to bring In iib- & 2nt members , and the yeas and nays on the pending question shall at the Dime time be cins'dercd ' as ordered. The clerk shall call the roll , and each member as ho answers to his name may vote on the pending queatlon , and after tbo roll call Is completed each member arrested shall bo brought by the eergeant-at-armEi before the house , whereupon he shall be noted os being present , dlrcharged from arrest and given an opportunity to vote , and his vote shall bo recorded. It these vet ing on th ? question and those who are present and decline to vote shall together make a majority of the house , the speaker shall de clare that a quorum Is constituted , and the pending question shall be dsclded as the ma jority of thooa voting shall appear , and thcreupn further proceedings under the call shall be considered aa dispensed with : " Another nw rule provide ? that the spcakci shall entertain only one motion to adjourn and no other dilatory motion after a report has been made by the committee on rules until the report has been fully disposed cf. The rule by which the previous question can bo ordered by "a majority ot the mem bers present If a quorum , " la changed tea a majority of members voting , It a quorum la present. _ Very H It'll Iiulccil In the elements that supply the human sys tem with bone , muscle and brain substance Is A circulation fertilized with the supreme tonic , Hosteller's Stomach Bitters , which be gets thorough assimilation and digestion , and gives a healthful Impulse to every function of the body.

To badh member he put the question : "Would It , In your opinion , be well for the governments of the United States and Great Britain to endeavor to agree upon the constitution of a permanent court or tribunal ot arbitration to which all ques tions at Issue between the two governments , not Involving national autonomy or honor , should be submitted for decision when diplo matic negotiations fall ? " The following replied : Senator Sherman "I nm In favor of the principle of arbitration for all questions that do not Involve the autonomy of cither ot the two countries. I bop ; the two govern ments will agree upon such a mode of settle ment for all controversies. " Senator Sher man added that In his opinion Parliament should pass a resolution requiring the minis try to take steps In this direction. Senator Fryc "Two Christian nations so closely allloJ and speaking the same language surely ought not to resort to arms for the settlement of any difference Involving any thing less than their sacred national honor. I am decidedly In favor of arbitration. " Senator Davis "I should approve of n con vention between the two countries to the effect that nil controversies not Involving the honor of either or the established policy of cither should bo referred to a tribunal of arbitration , to be constituted by the parties as the controversy arises , so far as the personnel ot the tribunal Is concerned , the convention providing lu a general way that such tribunals ehould bo established for each particular c.uv > as occasion for It might present itself. " Senator Cameron "The principle of arbi tration Is both wise" and humane , and the ndnntlon nf It bv thn two creat Encllsh spaklng nation ; , of the world would have great Influence upon other civilized nations. It would be well at this particular time for both America and England to consider tbo subject seriously and practically , and I hcpo this will b2 done. " Senator Cullom "The tlmo has come In the history of the world when great natlonv should settle all controversies between them by arbitration and n6t by war. I t'hould rc- jolc ; If practical steps were taken by both governments to this end. " Senator Lodge "I am , of course , In favor ot fettling the Venezuelan question by arbi tration , and I believe equally that all ques tions which can properly be disposed of by arbitration should be dealt with In that way by two such nations as the United States and Great Britain , and , If possibleby some general arrangement. " Senator Morgan "I am In favor of the principle of International arbitration In set tlement of dlsputeu that properly fall within the purview of that method of settlement , I am In favor ot the organization , by the consent of what I may call the Christian powers , and of all other powers that can be Induced to enter Into the * agreement , of a court or board ot arbitrationto ) whom the governments would agree that ciuestlons of the sort Indi cated should bJ submitted after the failure of diplomatic efforts to settle tnem , tne personnel cf such , , a board to be selected on each occasion that arises between the two contending powers.1 Such powers should agrae upon a neutral power with authority to name the members pf the board. " Senator Gray referred me to his words , which I recently cabled , adding then the as surance of his cntjro.sympathy. Senator Turple "I" think the establishment of a tribunal mutually 'appointed and agreed , upon by the governments of Great Britain and the United States on disputed questions between the two powers , other than thoa : relating ta 'their- autonomy and' ' national sovereignty would b ; of great service , not only to the two natljona Interested , but also to mankind , who wduld accept such action as ai model to be'Jollawsd and1 an example to be Imitated. " Senator Daniels "I would regard It as a great1 achievement In harmony with the as pirations of the two peoples , their mutual interests and their clorer friendship. All my mind goes forward to the belief that It would bo well to create suck machinery. " On the house foreign affairs committee , Chairman Hltt said : "It would bo the best work they could do for the two nation ? and for mankind , and It should be , If possible , made to Imply , If not pledg-a , their pressure to bear to prevent the Venezuelan govern ment from committing any overt acts and thus precipitating a hostile situation. There fore It Is Imperatively necessary that the Brltlch government Instantly deny and re pudiate such monstrous and fatal nets as the armed occupation ot territory while the question of arbitration Is pending. " My work here Is done. I propose to leave Washington Immediately. The Schomburgk line Is now abandoned. The English public , understanding the American attitude , has changed Its own attitude and nothing blocks the nay to prompt settlement , not only of the Venezuelan , but of all other matters , and they are numerous , now pending and creating International discord , and thereby- placing our relations upon an amicable footIng - Ing for the future. My lasi words shall be , and they must purely express British , no less than American oantlment , that the na tion desiring arbitration Is In a civilized at titude and that the nation refusing It Is an uncivilized , attitude.

The free coinage sub stitute was called up at the conclusion of Mr. Stewart's speech , and now has the right of way , so that the debate upon It can bj today predicted the failure of the popular loan proposition of the administration , In timated the loan had already been under written by ths gold syndicate , reiterated th3 senator's well known free silver vlows and concluded with an appeal for the finan cial as well as the political Independence of the United States. In the morning hour , Mr. Baker Introduced a resolution somewhat ex panding the Monroe doctrlno and made a speech In favor of Its adoption as a formal and unequivocal declaration of our policy with reference to the western hemisphere. In presenting some petitions from Norfolk , Va. , In favor of liberal appropriations for seacoast - coast defenses Mr. Daniel ot Virginia called attention to tlio alarm which manifestly ex isted In the minds of the people along the sea coast In view of the rumors of war. He thought their apprehensions cf bombardment wcro exaggerated , hut expressed the belief that our scacoast cities should , be adequately fortified to meet any emergency. A resolution offered by Mr. Chandler , re publican ot New Hampshlrs , was adopted In- ulructlng the committee on Immigration to Inquire whether any legislation was neces sary to prevent the Introduction Into the United States of aliens Imprisoned by for.elgn countrlea In thslr American colonies. Mr. Cullom , republican ot Illinois , asked unanimous consent 'or the consideration ot a resolution authorizing the supervising archi tect to use $25,000 of the appropriation fcT the Chicago postofllce building and employ ment of an assistant architect to- aid In the preparation of the plans for that building. Mr. Cockrell , democrat of Missouri , expressed the opinion that $25,000 was a remuneration out ot all reason for an assistant architect , and Mr. Smith , democrat of New Jersey , and Mr. White , democrat of California , declared that If special legislation were to be given for the purpose of aiding the supervising architect's office it should not bo given with the especial reference to accelerating the work on a particular building. Mr. Palmer , democrat of Illinois , pointed out Hut this was a special case , the expense to come out of the appropriation for th ? Chicago building. If general leglswtlon were deemed necessary It should be enacted In the rgular way. Ho hoped that this special reso lution would not be embarraswd. Without this appropriation nothing could be done toward proceeding with the construction of the building. Mr. Berry , democrat of Arkansas , objected and the resolution went over. Mr. Baker , republican of Kansas , offered the following resolution , enunciating an expansion of the Monroe doctrlno ; "Resolve-1 , That the United States will re gard as an unfriendly act for any foreign power , without our consent , by war , treaty , purchase or otherwise , to extend Us terri torial limits in tha western hemisphere on cither of the American continents , or to any of the Islands adjacent thereto which this country deems necessary for Its self preser vation , and the United States reserves the right to be the sole judge ot tha necessity for the maintenance of tholr national enti tles. That the principle1 herein enunciated Is found in the law of self preservation , which from necessity Inheres In and belongs to every civilized nation as a sovereign and Inalienable right , and this principle Is at tested by "Washlngton'0 farewell address and President Monroe's ever memorable message of December 2 , 1823. " Mr , Daker made a brief speech In ad vocacy of the resolution. In conclusion he said that while the countries of Europe were arranging their policies and doctrines It \\tt.3 right and proper that we should declare to the world the policy which we advanced and proposed to maintain for the future peace and preservation of the western hemis phere. Mr , Call , democrat of Florida , took occa sion before the resolution was referred to the foreign relations committee to call at tention to th ? war which the Cubans wore so gallantly and successfully waging for Inde pendence , and expressed the hope that the committed on foreign relations would rnport a resolution for the recognition of the Cubans as belligerents. When the morning business bad been dis posed of there was a clash as to the order of procedure. Mr , Stewart , populist of Nevada , Insisted upon addressing the uenato on the Elklns resolution prohibiting the mlo of bonds except after advertisement to the highest bidder. Mr. Jones , democrat of Arkansas , In charge of the fro ? coinage sub stitute ; to the bouse bond bill , wanted to nrooseJ with the consideration of that bill according to the notice previously given , but as Mr , Stewart Instated Mr , Jones was com pelled to yield , Mr. Stewart In bis remarks advocated the passage of theElklns resolu tion as amended by Mr , Duller of North Carolina , prohibiting the rale of any bonds In the future except with the exprei ] con sent of congress. H characterized the pro posed popular loan ot the administration as a "cruel mockery. " No loan would be u popular loan until It was offered after the faihlcn of the French loans. Ho affirmed that It wan not the Intention of the president to allow the people to get the bonds , They were to go a * the others had gone , to the syndicate. The president , said Mr. Stewart , was merely tantalizing the public with his counterfeit offer ot bends. The bonds \\era to go to the gold gamblers of the syndicate. U wan shown that the entire Itsuo of bonds , ha said , had been underwritten by the syn dicate that had cornered the gold In New York. Mr , Stewart denounced the attempt lo pirn "nn emergency Uflff bill , " whlcn could not brcomo A IMV , And it It roiilit , would only rcMill In unicttllng butlnm con * dltlonn. The plain purpose \r g to keep up tariff Agitation to distract attention front the financial distress of the pecple. Not until wo had fre-o coinage of silver , ho said , would wo have financial Independence from the Uotlnchllds and the gold gamblers As long AI the gold rtamlard wa main tained In the t'nltnl States \\o would bt In bondage to Great Britain , our g'U obliga tions to Great Britain iiVvi jRlng about $1:50,000,000 : annually.

That gold could be obtained only by con stantly Increasing our lnlercst < boarlng debt and decreasing the power of the pcoplp to pay. pay.In In conclusion , ho declared that he wa > not In favor of eulogizing those who took us by the throat In tlmo of distress , that lib nas In favor of cutting loosn from all European entanglements and nt announcing our financial as vu-ll as political Independence. War was preferable to financial slavery. Party considerations should be thrown to the winds. The principles ot the democrallu party had gone by the board. It had be come the tocl of ono man , and that man wna the tool of Wall street. The republican party , that started out with the subllmest creed In the history of the world the equality of man had also gene Into the Wall street camp. He was opposed to any party that was opposed , to the country. Mr. Ste nrt concluded nt 3M. : Mr. Jones , democrat of Arkansas , then called up the senate free coinage substitute- tor the house bond bill , but owing to the lateness of the hour bo did not open th * debate today , and nt 3:40 : the senate went Into executive session , soon thereafter adjourning. 1.0XCJ LIST OF COM-'lllM.VTIOXS.

Walker , president of the Massachusetts Institute ot Technology , has written a very earnest letter In support of Senator Squire's naval engineering and educational measure. Ho declares that any one must be Impressed with the fact that the Squire bill deeply concerns the defence ot the country. He maintains that the condition of the corps of naval engineers , by reason of having an In sufficient number of officers , Is most painful and distressing and affects the honor of the nation. Ho therefore appeals to the congress of the United States to give Immediate con sideration to the reorganization of the corps of naval engineers. As to the qualification of the scientific and technical schools of our land to train officers ror tne engineer corps General Walker has very positive views. He believes that when such Institutions as the one he has the honor of directing are brought Into friendly rivalry with the work of the naval academy It will bo shown that the young men from these colleges can be de veloped to become highly trained and sci entific naval engineers. He therefore earnestly supports this measure and urgently appeals to the scientific educators of the land to Induce the senators and representa tives of tholr respective states to demand an Immediate hearing upon the subject.

STOXI3 AMEXD.IIE.NT STRUCK OUT. PeiiNlon Appropriation Illll Reported to the. HoiiNe. WASHINGTON , Jan. 9. The > pension ap propriation bill was reported to the home today. The bill carries an appropriation of $141,325,820 , which Is about the sum appro priated laat year , and estimated by the com missioner ot pensions to bo necessary , The prlnc'pal change was dropping the leglalatlva provision proposed by W.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 9. This being diplo matic day at the Stajo department , Secre tary Olney received a number of the foreign representatives , Including Mavroylnl Hey , the Turkish minister ; Senor Andrnde , the Venezu elan minister ; Baron Von Thlclman , the German ambassador , and Senor IJepuy do Lo-mo ot Spain. The visits were said to beef of a serial character , but the present prom inence of the countries represented by the callers led , to the usual speculation. U could not ba learned from otllclal circles that the call of the Tuikli'h minister had any refer ence to the reports now advanced that the United States propoyed to make a naval dem onstration at Smyrna. Mlnlrter Anilrado received his official mall from Caracas previous to visiting Ilia State department , but this did not disclose any change In the situation necessary to bo com- mrnlcated to the authorities here. Mr. An- drado's advices are that the country Is peace ful and the Caracas officials appear to attach no Importance to the reports of a tltrcaton- Ing revolution , as no reference1 Is made to the subject. The country continues to be very demonstrative over the attitude of the United States anl patriotic meetings or * being held cvcryuMiorc. The reports that a cot'slderablo number of British troops have taken up a position on the Cuyunl river nro not given great significance by the Venezuelan authorities here. This post has been occu pied by the British for three years , so that the movement , If It has occurred , Is not an advance to now territory. \Vhsn the British established thin post on the Cuyunl the Venezuelans nt once estab lished n post across the river and this prox imity caused the conflict of a year ago , for which Great Britain has demanded Indemnity. The movement cf British Guiana troops be gin about six weakei ago and was made known at the tlmo to the State department here. It was said to benn expedition , but the fact that the assistant chief of th ? colonial con stabulary wont In command of the party gave It the appearance of something more than an expedition of Inquiry. When the party loft Dcmarara no Information was given as to the purpose of the trip further than that It was In response to the wishes of the authori ties In London. Besides the diplomatic callers on Secretary Olnoy , Senator Sherman , chairman ot the committee on foreign relation1. ' , had a talk ot half an hcur with the secretary. The senator carried a largo bundle of papera relating , It Is presumed , to the pending resolution before the foreign committee for the recognition ot the Cuban Insurgents as belligerents.

KAVOK IlECOCJXl/.IXU THE CUIIANB. Kori-lKii ItvIntloiiN Committee Will Tiilio the Oiifxtloii Up Saturday. WASHINGTON , Jan. 9. Very general In terest Is manifested about the senate In the rpeclal meeting of the committee on foreign relations , which has boon announced for Saturday , to consider the various measurea before the cpmmlttee bearing upon foreign questions which have recently been receiv ing K > much attention. It Is the purpose of the committee to tnko up especially the Cuban , Venezuelan and Armenian questions. While there Is no positive Information ob tainable at this time , there are reasons for believing that precodencj will be given to the Cuban question. This question will bo considered when taken up on the basis , of the propriety of recognizing the belligerency of the Insurgents. There Is unquestionably a majority In the committee favorable to granting this recognition , but there may bo a division of gontlmsnt as to the time when It should bo granted. A majority of the committee feel that the tlmo Is almost ripe for a positive demon stration on the part of this government In Turkish waters , to evince the determination to protect American cltl/ons. .
