gungc quoted has committed an oiIcnse

Such utteranccs are wholly inconsistent with
Tint prudent, delicate and scripulous re-
serve which he himself while Secretary of
Stnte, enjoyed upon all diplomatic agents of

In the policy Of protection. In the other he
onends all his countrymen who believe that

densely-packed galleries broke into long
continued applause which the yice-president
checked with difficulty The result was

the veteran senator from Ohio speaks with
reserve and conservatism, 50 that II was the
more surprising when he arraigned Spain
and Governor General Weyler in the most
merciless and scathing language. Mr.. Sher-
man read specific instances in which Weyler
was pictured as stripping young girl cap
tives and making them dance before the
Spanish troops.
Other speeches were madeby Mr.. Lindsay,
Lodge, Caiiery and Allen. The voting began
at O'Clock. according to agreement. II was
simpiiied by the withdrawal of conflicting
amendments, so that only three votes were
necessary. The first disposed of the resolu-
tlon Of Mr.. White, limiting the action of con-
gress TO a request on the president to grant
beiigerency. This was tabled-57 to ~.

Comments Of the London Times on The

'fho Senate has placed President Cleve-
land In highly embarrassing position. II Is
UNLIKELY tnat the proud Spanish nation

behalf Of Cuba. II Is much to be hoped that
President Cleveland will act prudently."
An editorial In the Times on the same sub
ject says; "The resolution Is very embaras-
sing for Spain, who, while sho cannot but
regard the recognition as an unfriendly act
Is In no position TO resent Ii. She could gain
nothing by declaring war against the United
States, who. In addition, can make out q case
which Is at least plausible, that II Is merely u
tardy and reluctant recognition OF palpabe
facta.
"The supplementary resolution was ayow-
edly added In Difference to those who
would gladly provoke n war with Spain. The
proposals for the Independence OF Cuba, pre-
senied as they probably will be. with a direct

often indulge, could not iail to prove In the
