The Cuban question caiaa bafore the senate yesterday for definite and final action, and it, is ex pected that votes will ba taken at ah early day, on the several pending propositions requesting Spain to recognize the belliger ency of Cuba? and requesting a recognition of Cuban independence. There is- every indication, also, that the debate will lead to more radical and decisive) resolutions. . The opening of the debate drew large crowds to the galleries,, and there were fre quent demonstrations of approval at the stir ring and dramatic utterances of several cf the speakers. Mr. Lodge, cf Massachu setts, and Mr. Morgan of Alabama, wbre particularly forcible and direct in tl language. In graphically picturing sir he rise aiijl spread of the rebellion Mr. Lodge said "Just a year ago another revolution be gan.""

Comparing the former commander, Gen eral Martinez. Campos, wi:h the 'present one. General Weyler,- Mr. Lodge said: "Martinez Campos,- the ablest general in Spainj has been recalled because he failod to put down this insnrrcct ion recalled when the insurgent troops had been ac-. tually in the suburbs of "-Havana, and. in his place .has been sent amah whose only renutation 1 known to the world is that of . , j. the most cold blooded brutality in the last war for liberty in that island." Again, the senator said, :ref erring to the desperate lighting of theihnrgents, said: "Cuba is lighting not only for indepen dence; These men are lighting, every ope 0f them, with a price on their heads-and a rope around their necks. They have shown that they could fight well. They are' light ing the battle of despair." There was hearty applause as Mr. Lodge closed with the following peroration "If the wiir goes on in4 Cuba, with tlm added horrors which this new general brings with him, the responsibility, is on iVr ' 1 4.

Standing as I believe they do for human ity and civilization,-; we should exercise every influence of our great country to put a stop to that great war that is now rag- ing there, and try to give to that'island onceinore peace and liberty and security." Mr. Morgan, who reported the resolu tion, expressed the opinion that "any ac tion that this country, might take looking r , to Cuban recognition would result in war with Spain," and he also said that Spain would welcome a war with this country, which would afford her a legitimate ex cuse to get rid of Cuba in a way not to wound her pride. The galleries broke into loud applause when, in response to a ques tion by Mr. Frye, Mr. Morgan said: "My opinion is that congress has the perfect, independent, . absolute right to make this recognition of belligerency, or a declaration of independence, and, if it is necessaryj to enforce it by any military movement at sea or on land. It has the right to command the commander-in-chief ofthe army and navy to go on the field, if it is necessary, and expose his person to the execution of that order. That is my opinion.",, , Mr. Cameron and. Mr. Call also spoke. Mr. Cameron gave notice that if the reso lution was adopted requesting Spain to act, and t should it not, he .would then move forj the immediate and complete recognition of Cuban independence.

Whiting ran- to. the adjacent corner and gave the alarm to a policeman, and hur ried back to the house, entered the f ron t door, closed it behind him and ascended to the second lloor, where Mr. and Mrs! Armiger had their bedroom. The house was by this time filled with. a dense, fctiiiing smoke, and when the negro and Mrs. Armiger attempted to descend they fouul it impossible Whiting aided Mrs. Armiger to the front window and helped her to, r each a small balcony in front, upon which he placed her and re turned to the aid of Mr, Armiger. He found the latter had gone, and came back to Mrs. Armiger, who; cladin nothing but her night cioihes was shivering on the narrow balcony and shrieking in agonized tones for help. : . , ' Half a dozen men who were passing has tened to the power house of the Charles street cable' car line., a blocK below, and procured a short ladder.

In the meantime the other inmate3 of the front rooms were crowding to the win dows making the most piteous appeals for help. The people below shouted to them not to jump, but Alice Williams disre garded their warnings, and ; with an ap palling shriek sprang from' the fourth story window and struck the stone steps full upon her forehead,; fracturing her skull, and sustaining other j injuries from which she will die. : In a rear room on the second flour were Eleanor and Virginia, the unmarried daughters of Mr. Armiger. They were partially dressed, but so rapid was the spread of the flames that they had no time to escape by the stairway. In their ex tremity they leaned far out of the rear window and cried for help. A neighbor came to their aid, and under his cool headed directions Miss Virginia lowered her younger sister with a sheet, and, throw ing a mattress out of the window, leaped to the yard below. ' She alighted in safety, and beyond the shock and a slight Injury to her ankle escaped unhurt.
