The senator referred to General Wer-
ler's amnesty offered to priests. Gesa-
eral Weyler paused in his campaign
paused not as long as the chairman cf
the foreign relations committee ISena-
tor Sherman), but he paused ia this
campaign, conducted with the ferpcisH
of the Apache, the COmanche--thls
campaign Of Malta and the thug; 'thzS
campaign repeating the infamy OF the
duke of Alva--paused to extend amnes-
ty to the priests within the inSurgenN
lines who would yield ,'Obediences u
Spain. From this circumstance, Semi
tor Turpie said, he established another
essential point. Where there were
| priests, there were parishes where there
We're people--nen, women and childrcn
| In short, this proclamation Of amnesty
from Weyler established that Cod
! fearing people with their priests and
! parishes existed within insurgent lines
| At one point, speaking of Weyler's
atrocities, the senator EXCHANGED:
Cuba is lost to Spain, and win Dever
| be regained.''
Senator Turpie created great amuse-
| ment by word picture OF Senator
| Lodge as a warrior about to have a
duel with the Spanish minister. The

anxious that our champion should ke
fully armed and not be mistaken for u
mere harlequin with a bucleler OF ieata-

But" added Senator Turpie, "a
friend near me said. There will be Sae
fight The senator's demonstration WAS
not really one threatening war II SIN
came from his fondness for a certain
confectiOnery-puff tutti frUtti
nor ices, but puffs plain puffs."
Amid suppressed Slaughtersof the SER
ators Senator Turpie told of the danger
threatening Senator Lodge from toe
many puffs. Next he turned his atten-.
ton to Minister Dupuy de Lome's Dip
lomatc indiscretion in criticising
through the press the senator fr0nn

The senator closed with strong WORD

INDIAN APPROPRIATIONS
The Indian appropriation bill was
g then taken up. When the provision was
Z ! reached for a commission to negotiate
with the Yakima Indians of Washing
;, ton, Senator Hoar moved to strike out
: the provisO that not more than two OF
: whom shall be OF the same political
G party He urged the inconsistency OF
e asking the president in naming Indian
e commissioners, to consider the politics
G of the members. He also suggested that
this would disqualify many citizens
!, who belonged to no political party
e Senator Daniel urged that here should
: be equal recognition of the established
: political parties.
:. Senator PettigreW, in charge OF the
: BILL said the Yakima Indians were DR.
:. vided in their politics and it was only
e fair that both parties should be repre-
+ scented in a negotiation with them.
e This provision finally went over,
. Senator Cannon offered an amend
Il ment that the members of commission
: treating with Indians should be bona
fide residents Of the state or territory
4 in which the Indians are located.
s The vote on the amendment was de-
e ferred.
