Tiies. amendments were j again sent to eonfereiiJ;. The Sunday session of the House was produetive of but little in the way of a ;-eonipIishod legislation. Numer ous requests for unanimous consent weto made; but generally wherever an appropriation was r, quired to make the measure effective, and in some case where n money was involved, it met the fatal objection of "Watch-Dog" ixoekery. or a disgruntled member sailing under the sting of failure to get desired, -on. si deration.

QUESTION OP REDUCED ACREAGE CAUSES UNCERTAINTY Diversified Industry Will Result From Present Prices. New York. March, 3. A discouraged, disheartened market is the condition of the cotton market at the present time. The volume of the receipts has shown an increase beyond what it was 1 an ticipaited, as the natural rebound from the curtailment of the movement, caused by the severe weath throughout the South in the latter ptart of January and the linst weeks of Febnui-v. rm,; has brought about a liquidation, which in some instances, has proceeded until it has been complete, and the cotton found Tod'jrment in other hands. The factors weighing upon the market at the pres ent ti'ine, show little or no ch'anire in their bearing upon prices, as all are waiting to learn whether the South will really decrease its acreage this year, or whether it is simiply another expres sion of sentiment to l.e flowed by an actual .planting to the utmost of the ability uf the planter. Advices from Hie South however, lead us to fbelieve Hi1'. t the reduction in n crease will be larger than is evnoetd by the majority of the trade. It seems as though the liscouraigeniont wh; v --ists 'here is oMtly intensified the further prucpedSngB south of Mason and Dixon's ?ine re irdin.g any i'mprovemeut in (he value "f cotton, a nd as the was enabled fast year for the first tne in our re collection, to d'isiose of any crop be sides cotton -for cash, it seems probable Hi at the (planter will do his utmost to -aise other crons, either tobacco, corn. ia(i, peas and various other loca? crops, vhich have a va'ue above that given 'v cotton, at 4c.;- per pound.

THE CUBAN REVOLT. Government Officials Speak of It Sneerinjfly, By Southern Associated Press. Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 28. A special to The Times-Union from Port Tampa says: The steamship Mascotte arrived here today from Havana bringing Cuban advices up to yesterday. The reports of the insurrectionary move ment on the island are confirmed. The daily papers of Havana are devoting small space to the uprising and seem to consider it of no importance, bun these papers are for the most part under Government control. From these paper-; it appears that there have been up risings in the provinces of Matanzaa and Sant iago de Culba, and that con flicts have occurred between the Gov ernment fYirces and bands of insurgents, in which one or two men have been killed and several wounded. The in surgents seem to move about in small bands composed of from 5 to 100 men, and in no case has a collision occurred which could be ailed a battle. El Pois, a government organ, onfirms the report thair Genera's Marti and Maximo Gomez revolutionry leaders, are in Cuba. The paper saysthey are near Matanzas, but are taking no active part in the uprising. Passengers on the Mascotte report everything uiet in Havana and say haf the people there seem to take no inter est in the uprising. The Government authoritives have suppressed the Radi cal papers La Verdad and La Iqualida. The six representatives of the Home Rule par1 y who 'were sent to the Cortea in Madrid have telegraphed friends in Havana that they are coming home. They say the Spaniards laugh at them when they suggest reform iu Culba, and that they are convinced that Home Rule can only be secured by arms. Th& Government authoriJ ives in Havana ridicule the idea of anything approach ing an organized movement. They say that the uprisings reported in thfe interor are of no consequence and thai everything will soon be quiet. Ferdinando Figueredo, of Port Tompa, who was a colonel in the last Cuban revolution, said tonight that tha reports of the movement for free Cuba sent out from Havana and appearing In the pr-2ss dispatches this morning are highly in teresting. They have absolute control of the cable, he added, and nothing at all objectionable to them can go out over the wires. They sneer at what they call the Insignificance of this uprising, but they frar it just the same. Of course the number of revolutionary troops so far en gaged is small, but this is only a be ginning. Within 30 days the revolution ists will have 20,000 men In the field scattered over all parts of the island, and with millions of money bethind them, and with constant additions of men from the States and South America they will be invincible. You ask If this uprising is a part of the general plan for the free dom of Cuba or only an accidental out break, unauthorized and ill-timed. answer unhesitatingly, that it is a part of the general plan. They were for dis tinct and seperate outbreaks on' Sunday and Monday. By the end of March there will have over a hundred of them. Thes little engagements will be followed by pitched battles. Cuba is perpared to spill her blood for her freedom. Ravino Gutbrrez, the Spanish vice con sul here, says that he has had no official advice from Havana or Madrid, since this alleged revolution began. He laughed when questioned as to the seriousness of the affair. They make no more account of it in Cuba, he said, than we would In Florida over a strike of a hundred labor ers. It means nothing. Why, I hav letters from people In Havana written last Sunday in which they speak of balls and parties and dinners, but make no mention of a revolution. Talk of free Cuba, I tell you the Cubans are the freest peopla in the world today It is only a few who want freedom by the sword. Revolution Discussed. Madrid, Feb. 28 The Coftes devoted several hours today to a discussion of Cuban affairs. The ministers expressed entire approval of the action of the Cu ban officials. The leaders of all sec tions of the opposition, including even the West Indian autonomists, offered their full support of all efforts to quell the outbreak. Six thousand troops are held readiness to embark for Havana. All the available troops In Porto Rico also are ready to start for Cuba in case of need. The Government has decided upon military occupation of the distur bed districts of Cuba. Orders have been issued to the Royal Navy and trans-At lantic Company to -hasten preparations to transfer 6,100 troops from Spain, and a battlalon from Porto Rico to Cuba.

SILVER, THE TARIFF AND FINANCE ARE THE QUESTIONS. How Our Legislators Failed Utterly To Legislate. By Southern Associated Press. Washington, D. C. March 3. Ihe throe sessions of the Fifty-Third Congress ex piring at noon, Mach 4th, l&to, were dom inated by three controlling issues. The lirst by the silver question. The second by the tariff question; the third by the nnaneial question. Un the fth of August, lbu3. the Congress convened in extraor dinary session for the avowed purpose of repealing the compulsory silver pur chase provision of the law of 18'JO. This was the silver sess.on, Mr. W. L. Wilson, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee prepared a bill in conformity to the recommenda tions of the President's message and on the 28th of August, 1893, this measure passed the House. The Senate in the meantime had been preparing, through the Committee on Finance, a substltue bill and on the 1st of -November this Sen ate substitute received the approval of both Houses and became law by the ap proval of the President. This measure, and the repeal of the remaining vestiges of the reconstruction federal election laws, closed the important work of the extra session. ' Upon its meeting in regular session in December, 1893, Congress entered upon the cons.deration of the revision of the tariff. As in the case of -the silver ques tion, but in a much more pronounced manner, the House "proposed" and the Senate "disposed." The Wilson tariff bill passed by the House February 1st, 1&91, was set aside for the Jones-Gorman compromise tariff bill, adopted by the Senatexon the 3rd of July. 1 vji, after four months debate, and th-e House was given the blunt opinion of the "Senate -bill or nothing." It took the Senate bill, sent to the. President on the 18th of August, 1894, and on the 28th of August, 1894. President Cleveland permitted the bill to become a law without his approval, and in an informal manner communicat ed individual members of Congress his dissatisfaction of the Inadequacy of the changes made in the tariff system. . Supplemental to the passage of this tariff law, the Senate entered upon a profitable and inconcuisive Investigation of rumors that senators had been im properly Influenced to vote on the sugar schedule and had speculated In stocks of the so-called Sugar Trust Company. The third and last, or "financial" ses sion of the Fifty-Third Congress has been especially marked by the refusal of both Houses to put into legislative shape the recommendations of the Presi dent for the alleviation of the financial situation. The President in his annual message called" attention to the continual deple tion of gold reserve and complained that though it was "perfectly and palpably plain that the only way under present "ondltions by which this reserve when dangerously depleted can be replenished is through the issue and sale of bonds of Me Government for goll," Congress has not only thus far declined to authorize the issue of bonds best suited to such a purpose, but there seems a disposition in ome quarter to deny both the neces sity and tha power for the issue of bonds at all. The Banking and Currency Committee of the House with the approval of the administration submitted a financial measure, which among other provisions, materially modified the banking laws and repealed the restrictions on State bank circulation. This bill was defeated by a majority of six. It was followed by a second message from the President re ceived by both Houses of Congress, De cember 8th, in which the President said that whatever might have been the merits of the original plan proposed by him, he was "now convinced that its reception by the Congress and our pres ent advanced stage of financial perplexi ties necessitate additional or different legislation " He once again recommend ed the passage of a law authorizing the Issuance of low interest-bearing bonds to maintain the gold reserve. The Bank ing and Currency Committee responded to this suggestion by offering on the 1st of February, 189b, a bill to "authorize tne Secretary of the Tieasury to issue bonds to maintain a su indent gold reserve and to redeem and retire United States note3f" After only two days debate this bill was alto defeated by a majority of twenty-seven. On the next day the Presideat Inform ed Congress tbai he had negotiated a conditional sale of over JG.OOO.OOO of 4 per cent, coin bonds to a syndicate largely representing foreign capitalists, having no other resource than that, because of omission thus far on the part of Con gress to benificially enlarge the powers of the Secretary of the Treasury In the premif-es. This last message went to the Ways and Means Committee, whose chairman, Mr. Wilson, of West Virgina, seven days after Its receipt, reported a resolution authorizing the Issue of of $15,116,275 of gold three per cent, bonds, as recom mended by the President. The measure was called up on February 14th, and defeated the same aay Dy ioriy-seven ma jority, after a stormy debate. These three financial measures with the gen eral appropriation bdls, consumed the greater part of the session. Early in the session the Democratic caucus of the Senate' agreed that the following matters should be consid red: A financial measure of some sort, de tails not designated; the bankruptcy bill; the bill for the admission of New Mexi co and Ar.7ona; the Nlcaraguan canal bill and the State Irank tax repeal bill. Of all these measures the Xlcariguan canal bill alone passed the Fenate after two months debate and that only be cause the Republicans utilized It as a buffer to keep off the bankruptcy bill. It failed to receive consideration In the House. The bankruptcy bid was made the unfinished bus ness, but was choked by the appropriation bills. Financial measures v t re not acted upon oy the Senate and nothing planned by the Sen ate caucus resulted In legislation. The so-called "pop-gun" tariff bills sent over hy the Hoi.se providing for free sugar, free coal and free iron were not even honored by consideration and the rail road pooling bill, one of the most im portant mepsures passed by the House, was also shelved. A Threatened Lynching:. Bv Southern Associated Prefs. Jacksonville. Fla., March 3. Alt Tam na. Fla.. C. G. Woodal. a merchant of Baltimore, came near being lynched for Vnsulting three prominent ladf.es. Wood A addressed '"them on the street, and followed them home, v-fhere he was ar rested. A crowd gathered and wanted to lynch him, Unit the crod prevented. No lawyer would defend Woodal!, and he gave a cash bond and left tow si to es cape the relatives of the ladles. 1
