ten days. All that was wanted was an
expression of the opinion of congress.
However they may differ from the presi-
dent on matters of domestic policy, no
one believed but that he would be active,
energetic and honest in his dealings with
foreign powers, and in case of war actu-
ated by a strong American sentiment.
From all that was before the committee
that body was convinced that the testi-
mony was ample to justify the resolu-
tions brought in by the committee.
IF there is no state of war in Cuba" +"
exclaimed Mr.. Sherman passionately,
where in the name of hell does war ex-
ist, for war is hell"
Mr.. Sherman contended that the dis
patches from Cuba and all the testimony
before the committee showed that state
Spanish government had been unable to
quell the insurgents. The natives were
fighting for freedom and liberty, and the
blood of every American should leap in
sympathy for those now endeavoring to
throw off the Spanish yoke.
The material resolution before the SEN
ate was the one that simply granted bel
1igerlnt rights, and Mr.. Sherman said he
could not understand how any man could
enter an objection to this resolution,
which was solely in the interest of hu-
manity.
Congress had done nothing it ought not
to do in this question, but 1t was slow in
doing what ought to be done. The war
in Cuba, said Mr. Sherman, ought to be
continued until the Cubans gained their
freedom; then all America would be free.
