Wednesday, December "a, 1917.
The indisE;ties offered to the United
States BY that no less cruel than stupid
despOt, the autOcrat Of Spain, seem to
have at length rousei the indignation Of
the House Of Representatives. Yester-
day, on motion uf Mr. Trimble, OF Ky.
resOll ion passed that body requesting
tue P.e,ident to lay before the house such
information as he may possess relative
10 tbs Improvement in Spain Of Mr..
RICHARD Coles MEADE Mr. Trimb,e
stated that Sir. Meade is citizen Of the
United States, and was the accredited
consul Of this cOsntry when he WAS cast
INFO prison. That so ias from Dir,
Neade's having committed any criminal
at 10 justify that outrage, Mr.. Irvine,
OGr ambassador, had obtained an acknOw-
ledgmsnt under the royal signature that
Mr.. Meade vas not guilty CT any mis-
conduct, ARD with Il an order for his re-
lease, while, at the same time, a counter
order was issued. with the kings sigma
ture also, desiring that Mr.. Meade should
be detained in close confinement.
The house then, IN a committee Of the
whole, resumed the consideration OF the
bill Tor granting pensions Of half pay to
the revolutionary officers and soldiers
The amendment proposed by general
Hs-r:sOn, Of which | gave you the pariicu-
lars 10 former letter, vas argued for
nearly the Whole Of the disposcsble part
OF Yesterday. 1t was opposed By gen.
Smish, Mr.. Rhea, Mr.. Rose, and Mr..
ForsytS, on various aud very different
grounds, Mr.. Co.ston cSHsured as in
e1pedient aud not becoming the dig
nifty Of the Uuited States, the peuu-
rious policy Of those who made such
mighty noise and strong opposition 10
an act Of justice and bcnevoleace in ia
ror Of the mea who fought for, 4 by their
ralur won the Independence OF the re-
public when the whole expense OF II,
after deduetisg 10000 dollars already
granted as pensions to those officers,
would not exceed sum Of one bundled
ana thirty thousand dollars per annum,
for the short residue OF the lives OF few
reterans now far advanced in years
and he lamented that while in other cCnn-
tries, where soldiers generally are the
panders Of ambition, they were nobly |
provided for, in this, whose indepcGd'
eGce and happiness were entirely owing |
to them. they are refused or with great |
reluctasce obtain paltry provision in
Old age.
Some members wished the business TO
be postponed till all its parts being before
the house, It cosld be better understood
but lhc house being aye,se to P'0'ract
the division any lougorS ucgativcd the a.
mendnent, and ,he bill<with some other
amendments of inferior Importance was
read section by section, and passing
through the committee, was reported I"
the houSe where all the amendments be-
ing cOrcursed in: it was ordered TO be
eagrOssed and read third time on the
