Washington. March lo-The crowds
which nlled tho senate gallery today In
| anticipation OF an exciting cuban debutc
were not disappointed. Today two new
phases OF the subject made their as-
pearance. and each afforded debate
which aroused senator's and spectators 70
a high stage of interest and excitement.
MIR. Lodge CRop., Mass). arose to a
! question of personal privilege and in
vigorous words rebuked the Spanish min
lister, Senior Dupuy de Lone, for his re-
cent criticisms of senator's. e
Senator Teller added his opinion that a
repetition OF the minister's action should
be followed by his dismissal.
Senators Gray and Hale maintained that
senatorial privileges and prerogatives
should not be restrained to close the
mouth OF the Spanish minister. Mr.. Lodge
did not press Tor any definite action.
The incident was hardly closed when
the subject came up in another form. AR.
lioar had asked that his resolution post
poning the Cuban subject until April y
go over until tomorrow. This aroused AIR.
Sherman to an energetic aud feeling pro-
test. He declared that MIR. ltoar's resolu-
ton was a reflection on the committee on
foreign relations and was an effort to
shelVo the Cuban resolutions after weeks
OF discussion and overwhelming votes In
both houses. The two venerable senators
Sherman and lluar, engaged in Vigorous
colloquy, Mr., Morgan and other senators
were drawn into the personal conflict, aud
for half an hour II ragged, some times With
deep uarnostness' nut more ofton with

Wnito-ntlireu participants.
Mr. Sherman finally withdrew his OBJ
lection ana Mr. ltoar's resolution Went
