Populist', i.immIva j. n Seated?t'rc.-r Coan!> ?Pensions. WASHINGTON. D. C., April 22 ln the Senate to-day, the discussion of the question of sectarian school, for In? dian children was continued for a couple of hours. It ended in the adoption of an amendment offered, by Mr. Cockrell. The bill as ls came from the House ap? propriated ll,lvS.OOO- increased by Hu Btbt ate to ll.vtio.tJOo-for the support of day anl Industrial schools for children. But this appropriation was aecompanli d by a provision absolutely prohibiting future payment for the eblucatlon of In? dian children In sectarian schools. Mr. Cockrell's amendment was to substitute for that provision a declaration that lt ls the "settled policy of the -government to make no appropriation whatever for the education of indian chllelren In any sectarian schools, just as soon as lt ls possible for provision to be made for their education otherwise." It also pro i tiat th.- Secretary of the Interior may make contracts with preaoot con traet-sihools during the fiscal year :? ?: to half the amount toefl f"r the BBSBl year 1896. This amendment was :, to?yeas 38, nays 24. The remainder of the day was used up In discussion of various matte-rs In connection with Choc? taws. Cherokees, Creeks, anl "Sipiaw tti'-n." The amenelments of th" Commit' Ai pmprlatlon striking out the two Itatafl for Indian pupils ut Hampton A'a., and at the Lincoln Institution, Philadelphia, were disagreed to, and those Items re? main in the bill.

Information Gratifying- to Friend* of thr I ll* urge nt m. AVASHINUTON, D. ,-_ Apr)1 ? _ ?Several members of tho House Commit ' ? ,,ii Foreign Affairs have had an In? formal confen nee on th. subject of the situation in Cuba with a gentleman who has Just returned from Habana. The information placed before the members of the committee was of a nature grati? fying to those who hope to see Cuba free. Several months of observation of the progress of the resolution had con? vinced the committee's Informant that the Insurgent, are In a fair way of win? ning; that they practically have undis? puted possession of a Urge portion of the island, and are winning nearly all the genuine battles tbat are fought. The Si>anlsh forces were represented as being on the defensive practically, in the cities and towns, with U.OOO remaining along tbe trocha awaiting an attack. The few troops that are available for aggressive operations seem to be unable to cope with the constantly-growing Insurgent forces. Only about one month remains before tbe rainy season is due, and little ts ex? pected of the Spanish troops after that time. The gentleman said tbat all talk ot the Cubans accepting Buen r*-i?rin_> -.? Spain is willing lo grant was Idle; that the Cubans were convinced that they had the best of the situation, and were sure to .viiii th.-ir l.i.'.eperietence. But. in the Interest of humanity, they Imped the United States' vould recognise them ss belligerents, as that woulel stop the kill? ing of unarmed people, and the execu? tion of prisoners of war. It would al*n enable the Cubana to purchase and fit out expeditions, anti would conduce to bringing about an earlier ending of the war. HI MORED IN.Il 111 TO PRF.HIDEST. Accident to Mr. 4 lc\ t-lnnd's Car riane? \otcicilv Hun. WASHINGTON, April 22.-Shortly siter dark this evening a disturbing rumor was circulated to the effect that while Presi? dent Cleveland was driving to his Wood? ley residence, after leaving the Exec^Uve Mansion this evening, his carriage came Into collision with a cable-car, and that tho Pres!,1. nt had been thrown out and had received serious Injuries. Inquiries were numerous from al! directions, but In a little time Information was obtained from officials closely associated with the President that the only foundation for the widely-spread story was that as the President's carriage was being driven along Q. street, near the outskirts of the city, one of the horsens stumbled and fell, causing thc other horse also to lose his footlrg. The animals kicked vigorously, broke one of the lamps of the carriage, and also broke the dash-board and ruj. tured tho harness. The President did not Immediately alight, as the coachman was qui, kly on the ground and disentangled the animals from the Victoria. At this Juncture Hon. Gap liner G. Hub? bard, who WU driving along the road, see? ing Hie plight the President was In, stop? ed courteously tendered his carriage to the President, who accepted a seat in lt. and was conveyed home in tlrrfe for dinner. The coachman repaired the broken harness, and soon followed the Prescient to Woodley. FOtRTII IRV AT HE*. MM.-*. ai n ri I h._-M -i. ti i h.- laid, anil Appa? rently Gives Sntlafsellon.
