controlled a cl'-ar 3K?. On the final vote the al?
ternates received each a vote of 334 vlva voce,
and the work was done while the Platt men
were stlll engaged In the laborlous process of
accepting ballots from all posflble s'urces wlth
Xio announcement of results for the honeflt of
anybody. In additiin to that, the regular or
fanlzation adr.pt ?d the followlng resolution:
Reaolved, That the men who ar* the authora of

floor of thla conv-ifi ??., are the same men wrn

Tnia reaolutlon contaln. the news of th? con?
vention as regards Its re?ults. and the end was
reach-d shortly after 11 o'clock with the motlon
to adjourn made by Henry C. Rohinson and car?
ried ln dlgnifled faahion. Rut a good many
things happened while this buslnef-s was being
accomplished. The declaratlon h?d gone forth
that there was to be trouble, and Actlng In
epector MoCullagh was on hand with a force of
100 ataltvari policemen to e*e that nothing un
toward occurred.
EARI.T IN LIXE.
The delegates who ndhered to General Collls
8nd Commlssioner Wrlght were early OB hand,
havlng had their supner ln the building, and
they formed tn llne at th* dnrs at an early hour
and proceeded tn pres'-nt their credentlals ln
regular form at the door. Th"' '. passed Into
the hall. The riatt m.-n began to appear whtl*
thls work was In progreea, but were prevented
from going in out of thelr order by the offlcer*.
?who lnalated that d.-legates must take their turn
Promptly at R o'clock. f.r, to be exaot, at three
mlnutes after 8 o'clock, Willlam R. Bpooner nom
Inated E. S. Clinch as temporary chalrman of
the convention. Ar once the morion was put and
wirried amld eonfltctlng erits. th* Platt men
trylng to make themselves heard and failing to
create any lmpres?=:.in, SMaSprte herculeaa efforta,
It was apparent from th* start that the maj Tlty
was dlstlnctly asi-dnst them. end It was notice
able. alH-., that Chalrman Olin^h was fair In hls
declslons, while the chalrman of the opposition
tried every possible rieth A of Interruptlon wlth'.n
the power of his gave] to InfUct. An effort was
made to have Mr. Cllneh removed from his place
after electlon, but the j>ollce refuaed to act.
TWO PISTINCT CONVEKTIONI
Then the machlne men put Jaiir-s P. D?gn?n.
Of the XXXIHd Assembly nistiict, up as thelr
chalrman, to act In place of Isaac H. Newman.
It waa an Inspiring sight to see the two chalr
jnen elbowlng each other at th'- same table, and I
conductlng two dlstlnct conventions. It was a \
elght to move a Weatern man to teara It was
early evldent, as has l,'-en said, that the Collls
men were In the majority. for their part of the ,
work went forward steadily upon a huslness
basrlB. The secretarles on each s,de w?re sur- \
rounded by ahoutera, who Bignalled to the dek>
gatea what was to be done either in the way of
votlng or In cheerlng for their favorlte candl- .
dates. T. M. Murphy and .1. C. I'i1 haid and J. '
3. Elllaon were made secretarles for the Collls :
convention. while Phillip Doblln BCted for the i
machlne. The BOSSM can be better Imagined than j
descrlbed wh"n the opposing secretarlea began
to call the roll oi dekgatea. There was only
one point on whlch the convention appeared to
be at all unanimous. and that war. when OOT- ?
ernor Morton's name was mentioned. Once the
the pollce threatened to cl.ar the hall If the
confus) >n was rn-t stopped. but that was a us
less anggestlon, for the evldent purpose of all
the delegatea was to create as much confuslon
aa poaalble.
VOTE ON THE ALTERNATES
It was nearly 11:30 O'dOCh when the vote was
Baaocnead on the alternat.-s Ofl the dllls side,
sr.d up lo that hour the Platt men had not made
the count of thelr ballots on the delegates proper, ]
let alone th- alternat.-s. The leadera Of the Collls j
men claimed that thls votlng by ballot on dele- ,
gates w-t* ctaarlji IWrgal As soon as the Collls i
convention had completed Ita WOTB" arnl r-.'ss^.l
the reaolutlon dted above, Henry C. Roblaaon

Snd then then- was such a geiu-ral morement
toward the doora thal Um aecretary of the other
side looked dlaconaolate. No flgures on the dele- ,

at the time of adjournment of what may clearly j

?UCCaadad ln landing In Cuba General Enrlque
Collazo, Major Charles Hernand.ez and I>uke Ks

SCbooner Ardcll, from Tampa, and the entire
cargo of arms and ammunltlon of the s.'hooner
Mallory, from Cedar Key. It was hy long odds
th.- most important expedltlOB that has set out

they learned that the Three Friends had safely
ftllfllled her mlssion, shouted "Vlva Ia Cuba!"
untll they w.-ro hoarse. They declared that it
would change the character of the whole war. as
the tinarmed men would now be armed and those
without ammunltlon would be supplled. and that
Ma ? to, who had before been wary and catitlous,
would D8 more aggrf-sslve than he had ever be^n.
"Thacargoofarma landed by the Thr.e Friend i
and ths Mallory was as followa: 750.000 rounds
nf cartridgea, 1.200 rlfles. 2,100 machetes. 400 re
Volvers, besldes stores, reloading toola, etc.
"The Three Frlenda met the Mallory at Alli

ftrrlng the men to her. While they were rendez
voused there behlnd the pine.-4 in a deep coral

that there wa. anythlng stisplelous looking in

in their lookouta scaanlrg the horizon as well as
sean hing the shore.
"Sunday. aboul noon, no vessels being in
Btght, tha Three Friends took in tow the Mal?
lory and steamed SOUthward under a good head
of steam. The Three Friends ls a powerful
tug. and by Monday nlght was close enough to
the cuban shore to hear the breakers. Beveral
' Bhlp llghta to the west were seen, one of which
was evldently a Bpanlsh man-of-war, for she
had b searchltght at her bowa, and was sweep
Inir the wavea Wlth lt. but the Three Friends
was a long way off, and had no lij?ht. and ?o
was out of the nelghhorhood of the Bpaniard.
"At 10 o'clock laat nlght. by the aid of a
naphthi la UM h and tWO biff surfboat*. whlch
had b*en taken out of Jacksonvllle, the Three
Friends land.-d tha men and munltloc from her

hundreda of men on shore to asatat, and they
dld it sllently, sppreciatlng tha perll of the un
dntaklng.
"The Cubans on shore recognize.i Oeneral
Collazo immedlately. and no words un descrlbe
thelr Joy upon seelng hlm. He is a veteran of

Washlngton. March 18.-Thr announcemenf
' that the resolutlon* censuring Ambassador Bay?
ard would be dlscussed in the House of Repre
atntatlvefl drew an lmmense throng of vlsltora
! to the Capitol to-day, and the publlc gallerlea
as well as those reserved for the familie* of R-P
resentatives were tilled to overflowlng with
I men and women who llstoned eagerly and ln
tently to evrything that wa* worth hearlng.
The day was BM, and there was no hlnt of
1 Lenten oboervanefl ln the gay sprlng apparel of
i the women who had come to grare t-he occaalon.
! That thev wer- more de?ply Intereated than
! usual ln the debate was repeatedly shown by
! their frequent vlolaUonfl of the rule which for
! bids appUUfla In Ihe gallerlea. There were vl.l
torfl on the floor also as well as ln the gallerlefl;
i .nen grava S"nators. who generally confllder ?
? debate in the House of RePr._entatlves a bore,
strolled over to hear and see what was golng on,
and once there they remalned a good deal longer
than usual*
In Chairman Hitt's epeech, openlng the de?
bate. there was no flery declamatlon. no spread
eagie oratory, no strainlng after effect. but lt
by no meana laeked force or energy. Hl? keen,
?earchlng, severe and almost merctlesa analyela
and exposltion of Amhassador Bayard'* offence
made lt appear more gross an.l lnexcusable than
ever before. and the effect was helghtened by
the calm and dispassionate tone and manner of
the speaker.
Wr...KNES_ OP THK DF.FrTNCE.
Of course Mr. McCreary, of Kentucky, had to
attempt to reply and ck-fend th* Ambaasador.
The defence was as weak as the cause tt repre
tented. Mr. McCreary is never a forelble or ln
teresting spe.tker or a strong reaeoner when at
hls best. and he was far from appearlng at hla
best to-day Long beforfl he aat down every?
body ceased to pay attentlon to what he waa
aay ing.
Oeaeral Draper's brlef speech was a plea for
moderate action?such ac'ion as the majorlty
of the Commltte.' on Forelgn Affairs would have
rneoauaendod if the Democrauc mlnorlty had
rot refuaed to agree to it.
The apeech of the day was the one dellvered
by Mr. Co__rt?B, of lowa, who Ib a member of
the Commlttee on Ftreign Affairs. He waa
repeatedly Infrrupted by outhursts of applauflfl
on the floor and ln the gallerles. and when he
m| down hfl was orerwhelmofl with congratuia
tlons, and his reputation a* an orator and wlt.
as well as a dehater who ls entitled to a place
in the front rank. was flrmly established. Mr.
Cousins Is a young man, three year* short of
r ???-. attractive Ip person and manner. and
wlth a strong but pleasan. volce. He ls aerv
Ing hls second term in Congress. and yet hls
?poeeh to-day was the first one he had dellvered
ln that body, and thus lt happened that moat of
the members who li.ten>d to lt were a* much
surprlRed M they were keenly dellghted. It
sparkled wlth wlt and flowed wlth the keeneflt
saroasm. and Amhassador Bayarda utterancea
were alternatdy made to appear aupremely
rldlculous and' grossly lmproper and malignant,
aa well as unpatrlotlc and untrue.
