Cubans as the result of the adoption
of the resolutions. In this connection
Mr.. Patterson Dem, Tenn) who is
recognized as one OF the administra-
ton leaders, made a significant state
ment.
IF the Cubans are united he asked.
in the cause of Independence. they
are entitled to autonomy, and il the
Urited States would interfere to pre-
vent Spain from acquiring new terri
tory in this hemisphere, why should
we not interfere TO prevent her from
retaining territory by subj ugationT'
Mr.. Boutelle, on the other hand,
maintained that it was an open secret
that the administration was opposed
to granting belligerency to the Cubans.
There was several exciting incidents
during his speech.
Washington, April I. - Among the
speakers in the house on the Cuban
resolutions was Col. kiefer of st. Paul.
lie said:
Nearly six weeks have elapsed since
these resolutions were reported to the
house. We had been impatient and the
country had been a~nxiously waiting
for action for Il long time when the
report was submitted by the commit
tee on foreign affairs. / had filed
many petitions from the people of my
district, and | know of my own per-
sonal knowledge that the heart of
every lover of liberty in the Fourth
congressional district of Minnesota is
in sympathy with those struggling
patriots in Cuba, and 1 doubt not, Mr..
Speaker. that the sentiment of my dis.
trlct is but a fair indication of the
feeling of the people of the United
States. So great was the pressure of
public opinion that the senate. which
generally moves with great delibera.
ton, discounted the action of the
house, and ere W. could adopt the res,
olutions reported by our own commit,
tee there came from the other end OF
the capitol resolutions breathing OF
patriotism and prOclaiming the goSpe'
of liberty. The house saw fit to modi
fy these resolutions, but not in a man
ner that changed the central idea
which vas and is the recognition of 4
state of war in Cuba. Do not let Iii
delay q moment. The resolutions dc
not go as far as ] would like, but leI
us adopt them as they came from the
senate, thus giving that body no fur
ther opportunity for delay"
