o'clock.
SHIRT y after the session opsned Rep.
resentative Hit. chairman of the house
committee on foreign affairs, joined Sen
ator Sherman in whispered confer
euce at Sherman's desk.
Lindsey, dem. of Kentucky, then sd-
dressed the senate on the Cuban resolu-
tisn. He said the conflict 10 Cuba was
being waged with such desperation that
only one OF two results could come
either the independence of Cuba, on the
one hand, Or the utter humiliation of
the Cuban people on the other. The
senator said he approached the subject
from the ndpoint Of hum snity rather
than Of law. Declarations of sym oathy
would avail nothing to the Cubsns; dec
lsrstions that they had progressed to a
stage of belligerents would avail moth
ing. ''If the United States intends TAX
ing any step that will avail these strug-
Cling Cubans, that step should be in the
direction of the ultimate independence
Of Cuba"

any mlsapprehension that the Cubans
were scattered 10 unorgapized bands.

a man of high character. 1t was as COM
plete an organization as the United

THE New York yacht club very proper

only regret that the credit OF British
