MORE DEBATE ON CUBA.
Ma Abatement of Public Interest In the
senate.

senate.
WASHINGTON, March 13.-There Is no
abatement OF public interest in the
Cuban debate in the Senate as is
evinccd by the large crowds which
continue TO I'll the galleries to their
full capacity.
After an hour was consumed in
clearing away routine matters, tho
Cuban resolutions were laid before
the Senate and Mr.. Hill of New York
was recognized. He was given
marked attention and in opening said
he would vote against the conference
report and would confne his remarks
mainly to- an explanation OF his rca-
sons therefor. lie pointed out that
this being IA conference report, the
resolutions could not be amended. lie
would, therefore, vote against the re.
port, that at a subsequent time amend.
ments might be made. The senator
objected to the third clause
Of the resolutions, which states
that the United States has not inter
vcncd in the struggles between any
European governments and their col.
onics, but owing to the proximity OF
Cuba, the United States should be
prepared to intervene. This he de.
clarcd to be ambiguous and unmenn-
ing. We had interviewed In such
controversies. We had interviewed and
recognized the countries which had
been colonies OF Spain. The phrase
'the United States should be prepared
to protect the Legitimate interests of
our citizens by intervention" sounded
like a threat, or il was buncomb
IF this rcsolut on means that we
should increase our army. let us saw
SO frankly, ard frame % bill for that
purpose" said Mr.. Hill. eli IL means
we should increase our navy, let us
safe it frankly and fearlessly and
frame u bill to that end. Let US not
indulge in idle boasts and threats and
doubtful phrases as to our being pre-
pared TO protect Legitimate interests
by Intervention"
A. . o'clock there was a contest for
precedence between the Cuban resolu-
Gus and the Dupont election case.
when was settled by laying aside the
Dupont case, while Senator Sherman
addressed the Senate in support of the
Cuban resolutions
"'' Nv 'th uis'tiNNtu III ICnpln

was not best to send joint resolutions
to the President, as it would compel
his action in ten days, and this was
not judicious. lie had confidence in
the President. There were political
differences between them, but, he
added, mo n doubts his courarc:
no one doubts his fidelity to the flag OF
country"
Mr.. Sherman referred to General
Wcyler as u butcher and said the con-
ditions in Cuba were fragrant.
''If war does not exist in Cuba" he
said, where outside of hell does it
cxist?'
Speaking of the demand for facts,
he said that Senator Lodge had oh.
tanned from Secretary Olney ample
facts to justify the resolutions, but for
obvious reasons these could not be
made public.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Sherman's
speech the Dupont case was taken up
and Mr.. Pritchard of North Carolina
addressed the Senate in favor of seat.

United States Supreme Court
Decides the Horsa ilibuster
Cases.
The Expedition Was in Violation
Of Neutrality Laws Only
Wiborg Held.
Comptroller Bowler Erred in
Holding Laws Of Congress
Not Valid.

WASHINGTON, May IS. Chief JUS
tice Fuller delivered the opinion Of the
supreme court in the case of the United
States VS.. j. N. S. Wilborg, captain of
the steamer Horsa, and others. The
case is the one which was recently adj
vanced by the court at the instance Of
the attorney general for the purpose of
securing decision of the court as to the
construction Of our neutrality laws and
the effect in preventing flibustering ex-
petitions against friendly powers. Will
borg was the captain of the Horsa, and
with his assistants is accused of
attempting to land arms surrep-
tltlously in the island Of Cuba. They
were found guilty under the neutrality
laws in the United States court at Phil
adelphia. The opinion held that the
decision of the Pennsylvania court was
correct on the point that the expedition
was violation of the neutrality laws.
The Judgment of this court was affirmed
as to Wiborg, but reversed as to Mates
Johanson and Peterson on the ground
that they were ignorant Of the purpose
OF expedition. Justice Harlan con-
CURED in the reversal of the Judgment
as to Peterson and Johanson but dis
sented from the Judgment affirming the
sentence against Wiborg.
