Mr. Morgan said:
"It is a favorable report as to the
; merits of th- amendment ami an unfa
vorabl? on<> as to tacking it to the ap?
propriation bill."
Mr. Alllen called op his resolution re?
lating to the free and unrestricted ooin
ag( of standard silver dollars without
delay, and without waiting for the con?
sent of foreign nations, and submitted
on.- remarks upon it.
?Mr. Allen review -1 a: length the cur?
rency legislation of the past, and moin
lained that silver as the money of the
constitution ought to be received at the
mints -Hi an equality with gold.
At tin- conclusion of Mr. Allen's re?
marks, Mr. Harris, of Kansas, intro
duced a resolution with reference to the
la-tent phase of the'Kansas (Pacific sale.
II.- said in connection with the resolu?
tion that the reason for its presentation
was that the attorney general had in
formed him less than a week ago. that
he proposed to redeem the first mort?
gage bonds of the Kansas Pacific, and
have a receiver appointed for the road.
?\\. were surprised yesterday," said
Mr. Harris, "to learn that the attorney
general had decided to abandon his ex?
pressed plan of redeeming the ilrst
mortgage bonds of the Kansas Pacific
and having a receiver appointed tor the
road. Through this deal, if it be true
that it has been entered into, the gov
inment would lose 56,624,107 interest
The resolution, which had as a pream?
ble the Associated Press dispatch from
St. Louis announcing the agreement
reached by the government with .the re
organizatlon committee, was as follows:
"R solved, That the attorney general
is directed to inform the Senat.; if he
has authorized the abandonment of his
expressed intention .to redeem the first,
mortgage bonds issued by the Union
Pacific Railroad Company, eastern di
visi in, now the Kansas Pacific division
if the Union (Pacific Railway, and to
ask ii postponement .if-the sale thereof
ind for the appointment of a receiver
I then -f in the interest of the govern?
ment of the United States, and also if
?; ? has authorized an agreement by

face value of the subsidy" bonds, result?
ing in a loss to the government of the
amount of $6.624,107, and if the govern?
ment hos agn -.-d not to be a bidder at
said sale."
Mr. Chandler ai-iked that the preamble
be strick.-n out, as It was unusual -to
include such matter in a resolution of
inquiry.
Mr. Harri? declined to eliminate the
press matter, as it was explanatory of
the resolution.
Mr. Chandler then objected to present
consideration, and the resolution went
over until tomorrow.
IMr. Morgan, in calling up his resolu
i "ii requesting the President to furnish
the Senate with certain information rel?
ative t" Cuba, said it was his desire
simply lo learn what the situation in
Cuba is at tin- present time. "It is im
portant," said he, "thai before any
matter that we know whether the gov?
ernment has recognized the autonomous
government in Cuba in advance of its
perfection, and whether an ?g-eiit lias
e. an- here to discuss reciprocity with
the United States. The Information
t I; -1 for will' clear the atmosphere and
prevent us from stumbling or making
any mis-step In any consideration we
m-iv give tIn- matter."
The resolution was passed. It Is as
"Resolved, That the President is re?
quested, if in his opinion it is not in?
compatible with the public service, lo
send to the Senat.pies of the reports

ANOTHER FILIBUSTER OFF.
Tugboat Leaves Delaware River With
Arms and Aimmunition for Cuba.
(By Telegraph.)
PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 14.?It was
announced today in Cuban circles in
this city that a cargo of arms and am
I munition was successfully shipped on a
tugboat late on Suturady night from a
point on the Delaware river below WIN
mington, Del. The cargo is reported to
have consisted of 100.000 rounds of car
tridges and about 500 rides. The tug?
boat is said to have been one of the
seven sent out in the night from the
various ports along the coast with or?
ders to rendezvous at a point off the At?
lantic coast beyond the jurisdiction of
the government, and there to transfer
The vessel said to have been used wns
l -mall but fast tugbont. which steam?
ed from the upper 'Delaware river to
Wilmington. At a number of points
along the Delaware shore men were
stationed with small skiffs and sup?
plies of war munitions of such bulk as
no-, to attract attention. When dark
ness had fallen a signal was given from
the tugboat, and at intervals the skiff,
.:? pi lied by muffled oars, shot out from
the shore and In a .-hort time the cargo
was placed on board and the small
boat returned to the shore. The work
was done under the direction of ' a
prominent Cuban of this city. When
h ? arrived here today und made the re?
sult of the work known, he said:
?'Tii - De Lome affair has been a great
tiling for us. We have been preparing
far several days for this venture, and
ive believe it will be the best yet sent
out in point of value. The junta believe
it is safer to send small lots in the man?
ner we .lid "ii Saturday night. The ex?
pedition consists entirely of arms and
ammunition, and no men will be sent
on the steamer that was assigned to
meet the tugs."
.For obvious reasons he declined to say
where the tugs were to meet the.steam?
er until lie felt assured she had gotten
awav safely.
SAVANNAH. CA., Feb. 14.?The tug
Dauntless left Savannah yesterday
morning loaded with sixty tons of coal.
It is rumored, that she will meet an?
other vessel at Tampa.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.?The offi?
cials of the Treasury Department have
n coved information, through Spanish
sources, that the suspected filibuster
Daun:less has succeeded in eluding the
vigilance of the government officials at
Savannah, and has passed out of the
harbor to sea. The 'Dauntless Is said
to have a cargo of arms, ammunition
and other supplies intended for the Cu?
ban insurgent-'. The Treasury 'Depart?
ment has notified the customs officials
and revenue cutters along the coast to
be on the alert and detain the supposed
filibuster if possible.
JACKSONVILLE., FLA., Feb. 14.?A
special to the Times-Union end Citizen
from Fernandina, Fla., says:
"A tug, stipp sed tobe the Dauntless,

enty Cubans arriveti 'by special train

'Nunez was in charge. A full supply of
coal was also talc- n afooard are! she went
to sea at 2:30 A. M.
"The deputy collector's! house was

ence*." .
Another special from Tampa says:
"The Cuba.ru expeditfcn that left here
is .now safely at sea and will join the ex?
pedition that left1 TVrnadinn on the
Dauntless. All the facts were verified
and there is no doubt to the truth of the
story."
