TO THE FRONT Strong Resolutions Look ing to the Im mediate INTERFERENCE BY THE GOVERNMENT IN THE INTEREST OF AMERICAN CITIZENS UNDER ARREST. Discussion of the Indian Approprl tlon Bill Leads to a War of VVords A Belligerent Spirit Pervaded the Body. Washington, D. C, Feb. 24. The Sen ate met at 11 o'clock this morning and will continue to meet at that hour du ring the rest of the session. " An effort was made by Mr. Nelson (Republican, Minnesota) to have a time fixed for taking: a vote on the bank ruptcy bill, but unanimous consent was necessary, and that could not beJiad. Cuba came to the front at the outset of the day's business. Mr. Allen (Populist, Nebraska) of fered the following resolution and asked for its immediate consideration: Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that the President should speed ily and effectually protect the lives arid liberties of peacable American cit izens residing or sojourning in Cuba and that he should- promptly insist that Spain, in her war against her col onists in the island should conduct the same on principles of civilized warfare, eliminating all unusual and unneces sary cruelty and barbarity; and for the; enforcement of these reasonable and just requirements United States battleships should be sent without de lay to Cuban waters. ' Objection to the immediate conside ration of the resolution was made by Senators Gray (Democrat, Delaware) and Quay (Republican, Pennsylvania) and it went over till tomororw. Mr. Hill offered another resolution on the; same general subject and it was agreed to without question. It is as fol lows: ' Resolved, That the secretary of stafe be and he hereby is requested to transmit to the Senate, either in open or secret session, as he may prefer, all thei correspondence and reports of the consul general of the United States at Havana relating to all American citi zens" now in prison in the island of Cuba not previously reported on. The third and most important propo sition on the subject of the war in Cuba was presented by Mr. Morgan, who said that he had been instructed by thfe committee on foreign relations to re port a joint resolution 'demanding the release of Julio Sanguilly, an Ameri can imprisoned in Cuba." As it was in his own handwriting he read it to the Senate, as follows: Resolved, By the Senate and House of Representatives, that the govern ment of the United States demand the immediate and unconditional release of Julio Sanguilly, a citizen of the United "States, imprisoned under charges pending against him in the military and civil courts of Cuba, on alleged grounds of rebellion and kid naping, contrary to the treaty rights of i each of said governments and in violation of the law of nations. And the President of the United States is requested to communicate this resolu tion to the government bf Spain and to demand of that government such com-, pensation as he shall deem just for the imprisonment and sufferings of Julio Sanguilly. "The committee thought." Mr. Mor gan continued, "that it was its duty to request the earliest action on mis joint resolution. And inasmuch as some members of the committee were absent at the time, the resolution was ordered to be reported. I give notice and call Via ottontfnn n f thA chairman of the committee on foreign relations to it. Hi UyDn that I will move tomorrow to take up the joint resolution for action." Mr. Sherman, chairman of the for eign relations committee, said: "The resolution was agreed, to unanimously by the committee. I have no objection whatever to letting It go over till to morrow and I hope that the Senate will then act upon it." The joint resolution accordingly went over till tomorrow. The Indian appropriation bill was then taken up and two or three of the committee amendments to it provoked long and rather angry discussions. Remarkably enough two of the temporary-' occupants of the chair received stinging rebuffs from Senators first, Mr. Perkins (Republican, California). from Mr. Allen (Populist, Nebraska), and afterwards Mr. Hill (Democrat, New York), from Mr. Pettlgrew (Silver, South Dakota). But. the scene which attracted most attention was one in which Senators Pettigrew and Hoar (Republican, Massachusetts) were the chief actors. Mr. Pettigrew had met an attackof Mr. Chandler's on a commit tee amendment on the large claim on the western Cherokees found for legal services rendered to the Cherokees, by attempting to turn into ridicule the New England sympathy for the Indi ans, and recalling the. cruelties prac ticed in King Phillip's war and by Miles Standih. Mr. Chandler retali ated by inquiring from Mr. Pettigrew where he was born a question which Mr. Petitgrew declined to answer, and concerning which his conflict with Sen ator Hill (in the chair) took place. And Senator Hoar indulged ih some very scathing comments on Mr. Pettigrew as one Who went 'mousing" in an cient history to meet an argument; as having studied more history for the purpose of the speech than he had ever done before, and as belonging to that species of birds which "foul their own nest." Mr. Morrill withdrew the not let which he had given for a speech tomor row on the Cuban question, his reason being an unwillingness to occupy the time which should be given to appro priation bills; and Mr. Allison, chair man of the committee on appropria tions, remarked upon the backward condition of the appropriation bills, and gave notice that from tomorrow on late night sessions would be absolutely necessary. At 6:30 p. m. the Senate adjourned. The postoffice appropriation bill was reported to the Senate during -the af ternoon and placed on the calendar. The following is tne status of the great appropriation bills: Passed and signed by the President The pension appropriation bill; the ur gent deficiency bill; the military acade my bill, and the legislative appropria tion bill. ; In the hands of the President The diplomatic and consular appropriation bill. In conference The army appropria tion bill, and the agricultural appropri ation bill (conference report pending in the House). Under consideration in the Senate The Indian appropriation bill. On the Senate calendar The postor- fice appropriation bill. Before the Senate committee on ap nronriations The fortification bill; the District of Columbia appropriation bill; the sundry civil bill, and the general deficiency bill. 1 DEFEAT .

IDODY El! ADVOCATED BY MESSRS. CANDLER AND LUSK. Air, Blackburn Spoke In Opposition to the Bill-He Wants Local Self Government Also a AMnorlty Re port. , The Asheville dispensary bill, recent ly introduced in the House by Col.. Lusk.'is to have an unfavorable report from the Judiciary Committee. This decision was reached yesterday after noon, after an exhaustive discussion of the question before the committee in the Supreme Court library. Col. Lusk's bill provided that an elec tion should be hehl during next Sep tember at all precincts of Buncombe county, as to the establishment of one or more dispensaries in the. town of Asheville, and the operation and regu lation of the dispensaries was to he committed, to a Dispensary Commission,- consisting of three members, ap pointed by the County Commissioners. The opposition to the bill was ably represented by Attorneys J. M. Moody and Ki Cudger. They had a petition, protesting against the proposed law, signed by 800 citizens of Asheville. Mr. (Judger was the first speaker to address the committee. He opposed the bill in the first place because the elec tion, if held at all, should be held In. the city of Asheville only. Another argument was that the city could not afford to adopt a dispensary The town oved $K00,0p0, and the bar rooms paid a revenue of $1:1,000. which--helped to pay the interest upon these bonds. He introduced evidence that at (JreenviUe the revenues .from bar rooms had been $18,000, and the dis pensary systems cut it down to $1,000. In Spartanburg the dispensary had cut down the revenue from $11,000 to $2,000. There was no indication that the re sult Would be different at Asheville, and the city must have the revenue. He contended that the. dispensary system wuld be a death blow to the hotel interests of the city. Tourists from the North and South, who are the life of Asheville, would not stop there and be troubled with a dispensary method of buvine their drinks. Of all cities in the State. Asheville could least afford to have such a system. - Mr. Moody made an able and eneci ive argument. He said the only differ ence between the advocates and, op ponents of the bill was as to the mode . of selling the lirmor. All wanted It sold in Asheville. He said the thirteen bar men in Asheville had probably more money . invested In their business than any city in the South. They were equipped to appeal to the tastes of the most cul tured people of the country tourists who spend seasons there. He said the hotels of Asheville had a world-wide reputation and the estab lishment of the dispensary would al most wipe them out of existence. It would be impossible to operate them succssf vi ll y He said Asheville had a legal method of regulating the sale of liquor, and he voiced the sentiment of the peIle when he said that it must be sustained. Representative, Candler advocated the bill. He said it provided that the profits of the dispensary should go to the public schools of Buncombe county and would amount to from $38,000 to $50,000 annually. As for Asheville's debt, that was that city's affair, and she could adjust it. He was a prohibi tionist, and chose the dispensary as the lesser of two evils. Col. Lusk said he had made the mat ter a campaign Issue. His bill In 1X95 had been "lost" In the Senate. His constituents had returned him with a big majority this year on the same plank. He" was asked, by Mr. Murphy of the committee, if he did not think-' the establishment of local dispensaries would ultimately lead to an effort to establish a State law. He did hot-think so. A Mr, Blackburn, of the Committee, said that the provisions of the bill were opposed to the principle of local gov ernment. He thought only citizens of Asheville had a right to vote upon the question. ... ,., Col. Sutton moved to report the bill favorably. The vote was by roll call. The yeas were: Sutton, Carfdler. Cra ven and Lusk. The noes were: Fergu son, Blackburn, Cunningham. Murphy and Hare. ',,,.. r Mr. McCrary was paired with Mr. Young and also with Mr. Duffy. In fact, he was "doubly paired." Col. Lusk reserved the right to make a minority report. Kruger Again. Pretoria, Feb.. 24.
