Mr. Korakcr, speaking of the policy of the Ad?
ministration, eaid: "So far aa the Administra?
tion is concerned, It Is not undertaking to shirk'
Its duty to Cuha. On the ??ontrary, the Admin?
istration has its policy in regard to that question,
and in due time It will take its action In corre?
spondence with that policy."
".May I he penaltted to ask," Inquired Mr.
Allen, "what is the policy of the Administra?
tion in resi BCt to Cuha?"
"The policy of the Administration," said Mr.
?Poraher, "as 1 aaderatand it, is to ascertain
at once, beyond paradventure, what art? the ex?
act conditions ex lai log in Cuba. It has taken
steps in that diivcii?. n. It has sent its ?July au
tttvriaed ageat there to'make the inquiry, it
will be but a short tlBM until a report is made to
the Administra?! m, a report rande by the Ad?
ministration's own representative; a report on
which the Administration will feel warranted
in taking action, In the iman tune the Senate
committee can gaih.-r the Informatioa to which
1 have referred and put the matter before the
Senate in such form that no Senator will hesi?
ta to to take action in reaped to it."
Mr. Mills iliein.. Tex.) said it was rather a
laic day tu Stop and inquire whether war exists
in Cuha. The Btate i>' pertinent waa not the
only source of information. The country knew
just as wall that war ?-xists In Cuna as that
war exists in ?.?recce or that an overflow has
?occurred on the Mlaaiasippl River. Moreover,
th?? Senate waa precluded from questioning the
facts, as it hud air?-a.iy passed a concurrent
rea? lu tlon declaring that a state of war exists

Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, a member of th??
Committee on Foreign Relations, said that there
was late iaformatloa in the possession of the
SiMe Department which was most important
at.i ?.h.iu.u ?? given to Congress and ihe coun?
try befare the passage of these resolutions.
Under th.? last Administration, be said, the Sen?
ate hid been kept,In the dark as to ?'uba, but
he did not believe UMTS was any disposition on
the part ol the pr. BOUt Administration 10 with?
hold any Informatioa from Congre, or the
country, li ? 1?? 11? ved the Information now at
hand unul?.'. strengthen the r?solution, as it
would then havt behind ?t the support of Ameri?
can consuls and officiala. The Administration
had been In \> ?war only sixty daya. When it
? came in it found many Americans Imprisoned.
Tr.at wrong hau been cured and Annericene had
been released. Every new Administration was
confronted with numerous problema, and Cuba
was one of the most serious when this Adminis?
tration enterrad imi? potri r. On the release ot
American citlaena there was n<? heni.ation. and.
tiris accomplish?-d. consideration was bein.T given
t<> the general policy. Ho added that ir. his be?
lief, if the information of the State Department
was laid bei ?re th.? country, there would be no
question us io the rightful course to take.
Mr. Alb ? qulsead Mr. Lodge on his course on
the Cuian question a year ago. It occurred to
him. Mr. Allea aald suggestively, that he had
heard the Senator make a moat forcible speech1
in "rapport of a resolution Recognizing belllger

There lad be??n no change, Mr. Ledge replied.

Mr, Stewart (Pop.. Nov.) ru-Riied that it would
boas wise to collect ?vidence that the .?un shines
as tostek further to sh"sv that war was going on
In Cuba.
Mr. Caffeiy. "f Louisiana, while opposing th?
resolution, i-riti.-ised Mr. Lodge for his compari
sor if '.hi ionise of the former atid the present
Administration on ?'ui-a. The Senator had voted
for a concurrent resolution declaring that war
exists, at. ? yet now he wanted more information
and more facts to establish what, by his former
ini!?, was already established. This iras an
evasion, Mr. Caffery assorted. He ask-d Mr.
Lodge wherein was the nient dlffi rence between
the attitude of th- last Administration and the

Mr. Lodge answered thai Mi. Btate Department

BUSY DAY IN THE HOUSE
VOTE AGAINST NULLIFYING THE
FOREST RESERVE ORDERS.
THE KltOPOeiTION TO ??????? PFARL. HAttBOR
KKJF.OTED. IN HP ?? ? OF MR.
HITT8 ARl?fMENT.
[DT ??.?(.???G? TO TIIU BEIBtlBB.]
Washington. Mny 11? To-day's sitting of the
House of Repr?sentatives lasted nearly six hours
and all the Senate amendments to the Sundry
Civil bill were disposed of cither by concurrence
or fum-ooneurrence. among the latter being those
relating to the forest reserves and the Improve
! ment of Pearl Harbor. Hawaii. None of the
: talking delegate? of the opposition except Jerry
Simpson showed any Interest or took any part
, in the proceedings. Their voices are mute these
j days except when they are splitting the air
| with vociferous demands that the House "do
j something." Their attitude Is like that of th?
; walking delegate of a labor union, who never
works except with his mouth, and ?vho spends
a good deal of time trying to keep others from
; working.
The ?'ole to non-concur in the forest reserve
amendment? after Major Lacey had withdrawn
his amendments thereto, which will be regarded
as Instructions by th?* House conferrees?was
an emphatic protest against the sweeping prop?
osition to nullify the act of 18G?, so far as that
portion of the public domain covered by the Ex?
ecutive orders of February 22, IN?,.", was con
' cerned, and, as Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, clearly
; pointed out. to di prive Prealdenl McKinley and
his successors for at least ? generation to come
of the power to establish a forest reservation
, nn any part of it. Tbe motion to non-concur
' was carried by a vote of 100 to 88.
The amendment to appropriate $60,000 for the
improvement of Pearl Harbor provoked a brisk
and intere?ting discussion, concurrence therein
being advocated by Messrs. Hltt. Cummings.
Simpson and others, and opposed by Missis. Can?
ine,, Sayers. Hilborn and others. Mr. Hltt'a ar?
gument was a stront; and able one, and tin?
speech of Mr. Cummings was unusually vigorous
' and Impassioned, even for him. Mr. Hltt'a mo?
tion to concur, however, was rejected by an over?
whelming majority.
Lute in the dtUng a spicy and somewhat per?
sonal debate was provoked by an amendment
giving a duplicate set of the electrotype plates of
the "Messages and Papers of the Presidents" to
Representative Richardson, of Tennessee, the
compiler and editor of that useful and almost in?
dispensable work. The amendment was con?
curred in without a division after a persona'.
?tatemen! by Mr. Richardson In his own behalf,
in the eourae of which he frankly said that if the
proposition should carry he expected tn publish
a copyrighted edition for sale t?. pers?ms who
might ??.: be able otherwise to obtain copies of if
tb?? Oovernment edition being limited and the
demand for it heavy. Considerable opposition
wu shewn to Mr. Richardson's schemi?. He has
G,? voted a good 'leal of tlnir? to the work during
the )nst two years?lime which he would other?
wise have be ? able to devote to his private af?
fair?.

MR. CANNONS ANBWEB.
Mr. Cannon replied Xj Mr llitt, saying that this
Oovernment wu in no great danger if Congre??
d.d not make the appropriali on nt this session. Th??
harbor bad b?en granted tu the United states ebso?
1 .;?!>'. for all time, he said, and was as much our
property as any harbor on the Pacitle const. He
believed the Government should improve Pe?tl
Harbor, a? It would any Other harbor It owned,
when It needed improvement. It was within fiv
mt'e?? of Honolulu Harbor, where the vessel? of the
United Sta'?? had always beasi able to coal, and
always would be while they hud th? money lo pay
for th?? coal. The appropriation would not suffice
to dnvlge the sand from the harbor. Th?? Inhab?
itants would raise the price of tiuir ooraev Iole ?m
simn as Improvement! Wer. begun on the harbor.
Th?? appropriation was not sulflciciit to buy a foot
ei land or begin a na.ui station. Mr. Cannon ?ini
not beli.-vc in magnifying the Importai.ce of thee?

ngiit and ila power, and we hold tbe Bandwich I
island.? in .,.? ?ama way sa far as the protection
?d Pearl Harbor and of our Navy and our flag la

The Item was onposed by Mr. Savers because, he
said, as ?oon as Pearl Harbor bad been Improved
the Government would be called on to upend several
? million, to fortify it. Instead of locking around for

THE SAX PE ORO EABBOE AGAIX.
COWORfCBB, MOT t??? ?vati p???pt???t, Rrc
SPOlfSIBLa l'oit I'llIrAV.
Washington, May 11 (Sp?'clal).-The question of
establishing S harbor of refuge and commerce at
8nn Pedro, CSX, Is giving the Senator? and Repre?
sentatives from th?? (bilden State a good deal of
concern. A resolu'lon Introduced In the Menate by
Mr. White calls upon tin- Becretsry of War to fur?
nish Information why such harbor has not b?*en
eaUbilshed. Becretsry Aitrer i? prepared to reply
to the resolution. Senator White will learn from
him that Congreas, not the w.-u- Department. Is
to blame for any delay which ha? resulted. At the
last s<\=sion ? lilt was passed BUthOrtS.Bg the ap?
pointment of a commission to Inquire Into and re?
port upon the advantage? of San 1'edro and an?
other California port for harbors The bill car?
ried an appropriation of ftm.Mt, with which to
establlsli "a bsrbor of r?*fug?? and commerce." The
commission wa? duly appointed, and Admiral John
0. Walker was made chairman. The commission
submitted Its report some time ago. The selection
of San Pedro was recommended.
The report advised the construction of a long.
substantial breakwater to make the port a harbor
of refile;,?. The estimated cost of this Was given
as IL'.?? ".""?. ll.e exact amount of the available ap?
propriation. I'.ut the bill providing for the work
called for "a harbor of refuge and commerce."
Merely building a breakwater, without duck? ml
other facilities, would not make San Pedro suitable
for a commercial port secretary Alter has hesi?
tated, therefore, to eel In thi muter. He construe!
tie? law to tn?,m that the War Department baa
authority to establish "a harbor of refuge snd eom
merce.*' Thai is to say, hecan expend the appro?
priation for th?? double purpose, and. as the enm
iiii--ii.n lias advised that this be don??, he Is Will?
ing to <\o it. Hut he does not s??,? his way clear, in
? lawful manner, to establish either a harbor of
refuge or ? harbor of commerce. The money
available is not sufficient for both purpose?. Hence
Beeret a ry Alger ha? done nothing, if Congre??
wants San Pedro converted into a harbor where
vessel? can ro for safety, and where they can find
er mmerclal fa. Illtles, it will have to provide an In
ressed appropriation If l: wants only one of
th"-e objects carried out It will be necessary to
amend th?? nee law.

Should both I..? reduced in precisely the same way

The developments tor the first time showed that

NO CLOSURE IN THE SENATE.
DEBATE ON THE TARIFF BILL NOT TO

TO BfjfJtsI OM MAY 1?,?A IX)NO
STRfdOT.K RXPFXTPTD.
Ir?V ???.??.???? TO TIIK TRiafVB.l
Washington, May 11.?The preposterous story has
been revived in certain ounrters that nn effort will
he made by the Hepubllman managers In the Ren?
nte to force the amended Tariff bill through the
deliberative branch by th? aid of a closure amend?
ment to the present rules. According to this Idle
rumor, the ro-operatbn of Vlce-Presldent Hobart
was to be obtained, and Mr. Hobart was to make
nn arbitrary ruling ?vhich would ?hut off debate
? ml secure a vote on the closure amendment short?
ly after ?t was presented.
The Vice-I'resldent ye?terday dignified the printed
report with a denial sufficiently explicit and em?
phatic. Yet the absurdPy of the whole project we?
apparent. Neither pnrty In the Senate, whatever
pretense? of "reform" are made from time
to time, is willing to abandon the existing methods
of legislation by the consent of the minority, and If
with ten or twelv?? majority In the body the Repub?
lican leaders could not 'hange the rule? in 1851,
they certainly cannot expect, with one vote less
than half the membership, to succeed In a similar
attempt now.
That the Renate bill can be taken up on May
18 for actual consideration Is more than doubtful
now. Mr. Aldrlch may be able to make his opening
speech, and other Senators may follow him in
strictly general debate; but so many difficulties
ha vu hern encounler?-d In making the comparative
tablee and estimates ordered by the Finance Com?
mittee complete and Intelligible that no two Sen?
ators can aKr??e on just what the printed statements
made public on May 8 show The tables are un?
dergoing revision and will not he reissued for sev?
eral days As the Pemo-ratlc members of the com?
mittee stipulated for two weeks In Which to study
the rues levied In the new bill nnd the (renerai
effects expected from It. they will have a plausible
ground for demanding n??xt Tuesday a further
postponement of the ltne-by-lin? con.slderatlon Of
the Senate bill.
President McKinley Is using all hi? Influence to
secure the passare of the bill by July 1. but so
tunny features of the Senate hill are sure to egcttS
? lively opposition both In the Senate and In con?
ference committee that ? fina' agreement between
th" two houses within the next seven weeks Is
scarcely to be looked for.
REVENUE UNDER THE AMENDED hill.
ASSISTANT BB*CRKTART ????'??, PA?\s IT WILL BB
IUPTICIHST FOR TIIK NF.i;it3 OF
THK UOVKHNMKNT.
Washington, May 11.-Assistant Secretary How
ell of the Treasury Department soys there Is no
doubt that the Tariff bill, us reported to the S?n
ate, would yield siifHeient revenue for the needs of
the Oovernment. "While the total revenue which
It is estimated certain schedules will yield," he
Bald, "Is less than the amount estimated under the
same schedules In the House bill, w?? will have a?
nn offset f10,0*v>,o00 from the duty on tea and 11S.000,
esj from the im-reused tax on b??er. I have some
doubt whether the Increased rat.? of duty on pre?
pared opium Bill result In Increasing the revenue.
When the duty on opium was $12 a pound in Wi
the quantity imported on which duty was paid was
'?VjT.t.S pounds, valued at W17.%8, and the duty
amounted to fS'?'.ll.". while In W?, when the duty
was I?, a pound, we Imported 123,*>43.*> pound?, valued
at I.W*..",!.", 13, and the amount of duty collected was
1741,261 7'". The great difference in the quantity re?
ported for laea and l*% is explained by the fact
that, while the higher duty remained, the urtlele
was constantly smuggled, so that the quantity
which actually reached the country was much
larger than the statistica of Imports will sbOW,
With ? duty of $6 iier pound, there is not sufficient
profit for the smuggler to Induce him to engage In
such hazardous ?nt^rprlses It may b?- that a duty
pf It a pound is not so high ?s to encourag? smug
gling, and that we will have no difficulty In collect?
ing It."
