~ urged the acquisition OF Cuba by
tue United States.
Morgan said tue atrocities OF tho
Spanish in controlling tie Cubanh
we're almost without parallel In history.
In tho last war not only hao l3,OOu
Cubans been killed In battle, but 44,O0V
rtIsensrs had been put 10 death. Al
vas q most shocking holocaust. The
senator ,a,d he had paused In wonder
meut TO think that the United 6lale'
had stood silently by at this awfu
slsuRhI.r Of $4,000 prisoners, Instead
Of moving sword In hand, and driving
the STANDARDS from the Island.
Frye asked II the shocking Statement
"a. historical. Morgan replied that u
was history, deliberately written by
SpanIArd, appearing in tho American
Cyelopedla under the title Cubs"
Tho great body Of native Cubans ar,
In favor OF the insure elton, although
tue bloody code Of Weylcr holds thsu
IN subltotlon. Spain has sent TO tn
conflict up TO this time slxly-one wa
vessels and ITO, 900 men, and has eO,OO
volunteers for garrison duty. An
vet this vast force cannot keep uer
Gpmet from hearing the morning m
evening guns OF Haysns.
