The Day In tho Senate.
The displacement of the Cuban resolu-

ing the attendance in the senate galleries
Tuesday, as 1t was expected that Mills
resolutions. proposing the use of the army
and navy in taking possession of Cuba
and holding it until the people had estab-
lished local government would occa-
sion further debate. Bills were passed
amending the law prescribing the death
penalty for Indians convicted of rape and
leaving the punishment discretionary
with the court; authorizing the Kansas
City, Watkins and Gulf Il ,ilway company
TO build a bridge across the Red river at
Alexandria, La. A resolution offered by

iilcation Of the then pending conflict in
Cuba
Mills Takes the Floor.
Mills was recognized at this point in
support of the Cuban resolution intro
duced by him. Hs said the resolutions
heretofore before the senate were steps In
the right direction but very short steps.
The people of Cuba had far greater claims
on the United States than mere recogni-
ton OF belligsrency. Ii Ireland struck
for liberty today, the hearts of the Amer
lean people would beat in sympathy and
SO If Poland or Hungary asserted the
right of liberty. But the United States
had much closer relations TO Cuba than
to Ireland or Poland or Hungary, for it
was part OF the Western iicmisphere over
| which the Monroe doctrine extended the
influence of this country. Mr. Mills de-
clared that the Monroe doctrine was n
law of protection. and rs such God was
the author Of it. 1t was the same right of
self-protection, which an individual exer.
cises in abating nuisance or destroying
a powder house near his promises.
