THE SENATE AND cURA


The Cuban resolutions reported favor
ably by majority Of the senate commit
tee on foreign relations are a long dis
tance behind American public feeling on
the question. That the Spaniards shall
deal with their enemies according to the
crudest usage of civilized war Is little
enough TO ask when this country is
afiame with friendship for the revolu-
tionists and when only the most rigorous
restraint prevents an outburst against
the oppressors that might carry US into
serious difficulties.
Perhaps the senate could ask no more:
certainly IT could ask no less than that
the horrors Of medieval war be not re-
peated on a brave people battling for
freedom within 100 miles of our coast
We have the right TO interfere at least
to this extent-a right arising from con-
tiguity and from the commonest princi-
pies Of humanity. Very few Americana
would hesitate to declare that the right
is even broader, and that il needs he we
should deliberately intervene to end
war which promises now to be drawn out
till every drop Of patriotic Cuban blood
has been spilled.

SENATOR LODGES COAST DEFENSE
BONDS.


Senator Lodge has offered a coast de-
fense bond bill which will recommend It.
self to the American people, however II
may be viewed by this dilatory, procrastl-
mating and indifferent senate. The hill
provides for the issue Of bonds to the
amount OF $ieNcOOOOO. payable in twenty
years and bearing per cent interest.
They are to be offered 10 the people in
denominations ranging from So to Sl.oo0
and the subscriptions for the loan. or
such portion OF it as may be desired.
shall be opened July l, Isl. and at such
subsequent dates as the secretary OF the
treasury may determine. at all sub
treasures OF the United States and at
all national banks. and the subscribers
shall have the right to pay for the bonds
in lawful money Of the United States.
Senator Lodges bill. in word. pro-
vides for great popular loan for a
purpose in which the people of the United
States are vitality interested That pur-
pose Is thus stated in the body Of the bill:
The bonds authorized by this act shall
constitute loan TO be known as the
coast defense loan" and the proceeds Of
said bonds shall be kept in the treasury
fund apart. and shall be used only for
providing for the defense OF the seacoasts
and lakes of the United States. and for
the manufacture of guns, the purchase OF
sites. and the erection Of forts and bat
teries for that purpose in accordance with
plans prepared by the war department as
authorized by law now or hereafter
passed by congress TO provide for coast
defenses.
Senator Lodges bill meets the most
urgent necessity which now confronts
the government. and it should be passed (
without any delay. Until such a bill
has been passed congress only stuitiaes
itself when it talks of enforcing the Mon
roe doctrine with arms or Of making any
demands upon foreign powers when the
necessity arises. The government has
no fleet to coerce even a second-rate
power Ie has no sufficient defense
against the vessels of any foreign power
It has not the means of resisting assault
from the sea, and there is where the
N"NeNA AtS- OAA lduu Nnt country Is Saie.
We could easily take Canada and hold
1t, but our great stretch OF coast on two
oceans, the Gulf of Mexico and the Great
Lakes is at present insecure and would
invite prompt attack in case of war with
England or any other power. Again the
Astorian reiterates what this country
needs is more battleships. and monitors.
and torpedo boats i've have cruisers
enough. modern forts with high-power, ,
long-range guns, capable OF standing on !
an ehemy's feet. no matter how power {
ful. On the entire Atlantic coast. from :
Eastport Ne, to Key West. there are
but two guns that are MT for defensive
We have one monitor that Is 1
and two or three battleships :
We have two torpedo boats. Thus our a
,oasts are practically defenseless and in 81

lodges bill would provide the money a,
Necessary to strengthen our defenses. 1t II
would be popular loan. and the people c'
you'd promptly and patrioticaIly furnish -

money be spent without unnecessary de-
