He was told to contribute to the city treasury and if this is not done this afternoon he will so to the roads. But the worst offender of the day was Belle Ymiiir. e negro girl about thirteen yeaisoid. She Is the daugh ter of Jane Young who was sent to the roads last week for assaulting Mrs. N. T. Bryant.

The House at twelve twenty began vot ing on Congressman Dlngley's motion to strike from the Senate resolution the clause by which recognition is made of the republic of Cuba.

The House then voted for the Senate reso lution declaring that Spain must evac uate Cuba: and that the President must use the army and navy for this pur pose; existing Cuban republic is not recognized.

Congressman Dlngley's motion to con cur In the Senate amendments, striking out the recognition of Cuba, was adopt ed by a vote of one hundred and seven ty nine to one hundred and fifty five.

The House surrendered Its own resolutions completely. Five republicans voted with the Democrats against the Dlngley motion to strike the recognition clause. Great applause greeted the reading In the House of the Senate resolutions by Democrats.

Congressmen Bartlett and Brumm apologized for the book throwing Inci dent last week. Opinions are widely different regard ing the disposition which the Senate will make of the amended resolutions.

After the vote Johnson, of Indiana, ascked to be allowed to address the House an hour In opposition to all forms and expression that look to war, believing war unnecessary and unwar ranted. A member demanded the reg ular order and Johnson resumed his seat.
