\ WAsH1NaroN. Feb 84.-The public
interest in the Cuban question was

Mr.. Morgan, Of Alabama. occupied a.
most che entire day In 3 narrative and
historical speech. Mr.. Morgan spoke
for three hours and had not concluded
when the Senate adjourned.
The Senator reviewed the policy of
the United Ssates regarding Cuba since
the time of President Adams. The
latter Mad prorheaied that within fifty
years Ouba would be State Of the
Limited States, and thereafter Webster,
Clay, Jefferson and other statesmen
uniformly urged the acquisition OF Cuba
by the United States.
Mr.. Morgan said the atrocities of the
Spanish forces In controlling the Oubans
were almost without parallel in history.
In the last war not only had 1900
Cubans been killed in battle but AZ, 600
prisoners had been pus to death. 1t
WAS most shocking holocaust. The
Senator said he had paused in wonder
ment to think that the United States
had stood silently by this awful
slaughter Of A, 900 prisoners, instead of
moving sword in hand and driving the
Spaniaros from the island.
Mr.. Frye (Rep.. Me.) asked IL this
wonderful, shocking statement was
historical.
Mr.. Morgan replied that II was
history. deliberately written by q
Spaniard, appearing in the American
ENJOY clopedia under the title of Cuba.

General Gomez had returned to his
command snd cisnero, the insurgent
preaident, returns to his task. The
