MILLS ON CUBA.
Tho Texas Senator Would Free Cuba at
the Cost Of War.


WASHINGTON. March 2l.-An unexpect-
ed climax to tho Cuban debate was reach
ed in the senate when. on motion Of MIR.
sherman, chairman OF the committee on
foreign relations, the Cuban resolutions
were recommitted to the conference COM
mittee. Tho vote TO recommit was unnni-
nous and without the formality of a roll
call, representing q general consensus Of
opinion that the committee should so
change the resolutions as to overcome the
opposition that has developed Messrs.
sherman, Morgan and Lodge were np-
pointed TO represent the senate In a fur
thor conference.
Simultaneous with this action Mr.. Mills
presented Cuban resolutions which pro-
pose to go further than has been suggested
at any previous time They direct the
president to request spain TO grant local
self government to Cuba, and Ia caso
Spain refuses the president IS authorized
20 use military and naval forces In taking
possession Of Cuba and holding IL until
self government is established 10y the Gu
ban people.
Mr. platt also introduced resolutions
limiting the acticn of congress TO an ex-
preston Of sympathy for Cuba's struggle
and authorizing the president TO extend
the friendly Offices Of tho United States
toward securing a free independent re-
publican form of government
With tho Cuban resolution rocommittcd
to conference, the senate turned its atton-
ton TO the legislative appropriation bin,
which was not disposed Of when the sem
ato adjourned
Tho house spent most Of the session CON
sidering tho Curtis bill TO abolish tho
death penalty in all cases where IL Is pre-
scribed in the federal statutes $50 in num-
hor), save I'm cases OF murder and rape, I'M
der sections 5339 and 5345 OF tho revised
statutes, where. however, the jury might
qualify the verdict without capital pun
ishment. Tho bin makes no changes in
the penalties that can bo inflicted by mill
lary and naval courts martial
Among the crimes now punishable by
death abolished by the bill are murder
and robbery on the high sens, or necessary
before the fact TO murder piracy, etc, on
the high seas; destruction Of vessels at
sen. piracy, arson Of vessels OF war, etc.
The bin failed to pass for want of a

Either Bryan or Mckinley Will be

much IN the Chicago platform that Is
radical. sim believe that back OF 1t, in
the old Democratic organization, there IS

Yes. every true Democrat ought to
