ahips Of wal, with the intent thai they shall be
employed In the servtca of Rny
European province or State for the
purpose Ct su,duing American colonies claiming
Independence. This bill, they sa5, Is but IN en-
largenent Of the Monroe doctrine, and cannot be |
q reasonable cause OF offence to any foreign pow-
er, and shows thai, while VIC oppose Unauthorized
Interference On the part OF our own citizens which
concerns other nations or colonies, we arc de-
4tedly adverse to the continuance Of the colonial
systcrn for the government Of nny portion Of this
continent, It further declares, say the committee
that our government will refuse assistance to for
eign powers in maintaining supremacy against the
efforts OF American colonies to cast 1t Oh. They
hold that the revolutionary government Of
Cuba has no existence outside Of the camps Of the
Insurgents, and submit that a revolution which
has not get eeCUred single town as It's capital,
has rot command Of single seaport, and has not
single vessel a1oat, is hardly In condition to
c1am that 1t IL government entitled to formal
declaration Of neutrality, which is In effect dec
1a1attou that it Is entitled to beltgerent rights,
The report claims that 1t was simply the duty Of
our government to maintain neutral attitude be-
tween Spain and Cuba, and that this has been
done with strict tmDar1ialtty, except In the case
OF the Spanish gunboatst which # had no right
to detafn unless it WAS prepared to
rccogufxe that state OF war existed in Cuba,
which the President was not satsfed We ought to
do The committee say the right to declare neu-
tratr is one thing, and the duty another, and add
that II eycr becomes duty to interfere In this
contest, we onght to act fea1less]y. They think,
however, that the course heretofore pursued by
our government has been dictated by regard to
law md the best interests Of the country and ex
press strong hone that the doctrine and legislation
recommended Uy tho ma5ority will not be sarc-
toned
