I That Cohan Keselnllon- Wabhingtoh, D. C Since the Intro duction of his joint resolution providing for the recognition of the belligerency of the Cuban insurgents. Senator Morgan has been persistent in hit efforts to have the Committee on Foreign Relations make a lavorable report to the Senate. The testimony given before the committee by Dr. Alberto Diaz and Correspondent Lawrence has only added to bis seal for action on this suliject. At the last meet ing of the committee a subcommittee, consisting of Senators Sherman, Lodge, and Gray, was appointed to wait upon the President and have a conference with him on the subject That committee visit ed the President this morning, and were in conference with him half an hour. No member of the committee will talk about the visit, but it ia understood that the President expressed the with that the matter be left just where it is in the hands 61 the Executive he believing-that through the diplomatic channels better and more effetlve results can be secured thin through the introduction of resolu tions in either house. It is understood that the committee will so report io special meetiuif of the full committee, that has been called for tomorrow morning to contidder the question; and, if such report is made, it is said that the full committee wilt not favor repoitinp Mr. Morgan'' resolutions. 'y 4 . "-i '. Ii ( Bin. Washisotoh, D. C Senators Sher man, Lodge, and Gray, of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, called upon the President by appointment, in order to discus Cuban sffiirs. At the ret illt of tho conference it can be stated positively that nothing will be done by tin administration or by the Senate regarding Cul unless affaire in the island materially change. It it understood that the President convinced his Senatorial visitors that there was no ground upon which the belligerency. of Cuba could now be recognized, .The disposition of the Executive to proceed slowly and with caution In the matter of reoogoilloo was made Very plain, and the co-operation of the Senate committee was asked in pro venting hasly action, which might result In unnecessary end harmful friction. The! I'resident announced hit sympathy for the Cutwis in their struggle, but held that this government ought not at this time to be committed to either side. It is also learned that the administration believes that the crew ol the Competitor will not be executed, in view ol the vigor ous stand which has beeb taken by this government. At the samo time the deter mination has been reached that under no circumstances will the United States allow the men who are' citizens of this country to be executed, not even if they are found guilty and condemned alter trial before a civil court It is expected, however, that resort to decisive action will not be necessary.

While in additiou to the publication required bv law with reference to the Or dinances regulating the riding of wheels and tho driving of vehicles upon the streets of the city, I have several times re- published these Urchnanc.es anil called attention to their provisions; but either from carelessness or ianorunce of the law. many complaints have been made person ally and through our daily paper, of fre quent violations; I have therefore instruct ed the Marshall and Policemen to use renewed vigilance in reporting all viola tions, and fliall strictly enforce the penal ties upon conviction. These Ordinances were adopted as much lor the protection of the pedestrian us for the wheelman and drivers of vehicles but to no greater extent: it is a niutua! protection to both. and il strictly observed is a means of safety and convenience to all alike. 1 dislike to feel compelled to again call thu attention of the public to these Laws, but feeling as I do that the matter is of great Importance to tue satcty ol tne communis ty, and knowing that these vio ations are not committed with any desire to dely the law, but only through tho thought lessness of the violator, I trust this com munication will have the effect for which I have caused it's publication, and that the Ordinances which I again publish will henceforth be carefully observed. I Would suggest that the parents of child- dren riding wheels, will thoroughly ex plain tho requirements to them and urge upon them tho observance of the Bicycle Ordinance I feel assured that this re minder to the Lady Cyclist will be all that is needed with reference to them. ORDINANCE: When vehicles meet each shall go to the right; when going in the same di rection one passes another it shall puss to the right and tue clrivtr passed snail give way for that purpose. JNo person snail ride or drive a horse or other animal on the street faster than an ordinary trot. That no person or persons shall be allowed to use any of the sidewalks of the city tor bicyclo riding. JNone ot the streets of the city shall be used at night for bicycle riding unless the bicycle so ridden displays a signal light, and in addition is provided with a signal bell, horn or whistle by means cf which all peisons shall be 'made aware of the ap proach ol the oicjc'e ruler by ringing tne bell or by repeated blasts of the signal horn or whistle. All persons when using the streets for bicycle riding shall when turning the corner ot the sheets ride very slowly and give notice ot approach by ringing the signal bell or repeated blasts of the signal born or whistle. That this ordinance in so far a; it applies to riding on tne sidewalks, shall not apply to r:d ing on sidewalks on streets which have not been shelled; provided the rider dis mounts from his bicjele when meeting or passing any pedestrian. I give tuis notice and warning in the kindest spirit and trust that 1 may not be called upon to enforce the penalties for violation, as its provisions are much more liberal man any otner ordinance 1 nave seen relating to the use of cycles on the streets of towns and cities.
