Washington, March 1. - A party of senators and members of the house left Washington at 4 o'clock for a trip to Cuba. They go by train to Fortress Monroe and from there wlll take a private yacht for Havana. The party wlll eonsist of Senators Gallinger, Thurston and Money, and Representatives Amos J. Cummings and William Alden Smith and their wives. Senator Thurston said that the trip was undertaken for the purpose of a personal investigation into affairs in Cuba. " It is not," he said, "in any sense an official tour. but it wlll naturally give us a better oportunity for investigation than we can possibly have from this distance." He said the party would be absent about ten days. which would allow several days in Cuba. Senator Gallinger said in reply to a question that he had not exchanged a word with the president about the trip and that it was purely a private undertaking for the purpose of making a personal inspection.
