RESPECTING THE SPANISH TREATY.
MIR. Floyd, of Va. submitted for coDsid-
Grafton the following resolution:
6 ReSoEved, That the President of the
United States be requested to cause to be
communicated to this house, if in his opin.
ion consistent with the public good, what
soeYer information he may possess rela-
tive to the extent of territory which the
instructions of the Minister Plenipotentiary
of His Catholic Majesty authorized him lc
cede TO the United States in his negocia
ton with the Secretary Of State, which re-
suted in the treaty of 22d February last
and likewise at what period he obtained
that information"
Mr.. F. said that he had been induced Il
submit this resolution to obtain the nfor
nation required, as important upon sub
iect Of great consequence to the nation a
this time. II was predicated upon an eS
preston in the letter of the Secretary o
State to our Minister bearing date the 81
Of August, 1919, wherein he says" II i
too we'll known, and the Spanish govern
ment dare not deny it, that Mr.. Onis's las
instructions authorized him to cede TO th'
United States much more territory thar
he did," Now, sir, as the treaty has no
vet been confirmed by Spain, and we arr
called upon to enforce the friendly stipu
laiions Of that treaty, IT is peculiarly pro
per to have all the information which wa
possessed Al the time Of the negotiation.
In reply TO an objection which was sub
se9uentIy made to the resolve, that cal

Ia Mr.. Capostolle's opinion, such con-

cost above three francs, would be able to

Lightning could damage them.
