Spain-FOreisn News In General
Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Hale
has received letter from Senator Hoar,
who is absent from the city, announcing
his position on the Cuban resolution, and
asking Senator Hale to pair him in any
way that will defeat, delay, or bring 10
confusion" the resolutions reported from
the committee on foreign relations.
Senator Hale, who is expected to lead
the opposition to the Cuban resolutions
in the senate, is preparing for conflict
which he expects to follow the holiday
recess. 1t is the general understanding
that the question, which was one of the
first to be raised after the reconvening
Of congress, it to be looked forward to as
battle royal.
CONSERVATISM
The advocates of the resolution" said
the Maine senator today, were at first
Inclined TO claim two-thirds majority
/ doubt whether they feel so sanguine
now. and l am sure they would not if
they knew how rapidly the conservative
sentiment in the senate is growing.
My contention is that the business
men and thinking men Of the country
are opposed to any step which is liable to
plunge the country into war. In my own
state, for instance, there is only one
prominent newspaper which advocates
the course advised by the senate commit
tee on foreign relations.
I'VE nave just gone through a cam
paign in which We have promised peace
to the country. Is it consistent to pre-
sent the incoming administration with
war, on the threshold of its existence?
True. there is an undesirable condition
OF affairs in Cuba, but I believe the re-
ports are exaggerated. At any rate, IL
Is true that, however cruel the conduct
of the Spaniards, it finds its counterpart
in the bravery of the Cubans 1t is their
way or fighting; they are different from
US. From whatever standpoint the ques-
ton is remarked, there is no excuse in
reason or precedent for the United States
to interfere in this Instruction be-
lieve the senate is rapidly coming TO real
ize this and therefore l am confident of
success in the end
FILIBUSTERING
at has been intimated," suggested the
Associated Press reporter with whom
Senator Hale was talking, that you will
filihuster to defeat the Cameron resolu-
ton in the senate
mo truth whatever in that" he re-
sponded. 1T will not be necessary that
we should do so. The question raised by
the committee is one of vast magnitude
and it will excite much debate. The
question of the respective prerogative of
the executive and legislative branches OF
the government, which Mr.. Olney's let
ter has raised. is calculated in itself 20
set the lawyers talking at one another
and there is telling how much time may
be consumed on this point. Hence, I
say that, even If the opponents of the
resolution desire delay-which they do
not-they would not have to resort 60
extraneous methods TO secure it. II is,
above all, foreign from Our intentions 10
attempt To use the appropriation bills to
accomplish the postponement of the Gu
ban question. We are willing that this
subject should be brought up promptly
ana are content to use only Legitimate
weapons in our warfare against it,
