lOIlldllOI He WOulu SltiuiS CuuIlSe ms vote and record himself against the resolutions.
 MT. Hale sent to the clerks desk to be read the statement of Minister Du- puy de Lome of Spain, published in the newspapers, relative to statements made in debate by United States sena- tors.
 MT, Davis, rep, of Minnesota, ob- jected on the ground that it was not permissible for a communication from any foreign minister to be received by or received before the senate unless it came to the senate through the regu- lar channel, the state department
 MT, Hale expressed his surprise at this objection.
 MT. Frye said he hoped that the point would be withdrawn and that when the communication was printed in the rec ord it should be accompanied by the reply printed in local paper this morn- ing.
 Mr Davis withdrew his point of order. Senor de Lome's statement was read in full and MT. Hale continued his speech. He interspersed his remarks with nu- merous newspaper clippings giving statements on both sides of the ques- ton, tending to show that acts of cru city were not confined to any partic- ular side in their conflict.
 The policy of the insurgents was, MT, Hale said, not war. It was incendiar- ism, outrage, barbarism, savagery. He would give no vote to aid men in such murderous business The question how long should this be permitted to contin- ue before the United States interfered was the question asked during our re- bellion. We were always confronted with the danger that foreign govern ments would intervene and recognize the independence of the south if we did not suppress the rebellion ourselves. Whenever the Union troops met defeat that question was asked us. MT. Sherman, interrupting, said that before a single battle was fought the governments of Spain, France and Eng land recognized the belligerency of the Confederates in language identical with the first clause of the resolution sub- mitted in the conference report.
 Were they acting rightly" asked MT, Hoar.
 NO, I think not" Mir sherman an- swered, but we have waited a long time and have seen these atrocious acts committed at our very door and have never raised single friendly hand nor sent single friendly word.' MT. Hale quoted with praise MT. Sew ards reply to the question of how long European nations had to wait-"the United States" MT. Seward had said Twill suppress the rebellion, but it must do it in it's own way. The methods by which it shall be done must be select ed by the United States and no foreign power must be allowed to interfere with the United States in it's method of sup pressing the rebellion"
 That" remarked MT. Hale, lis the answer to-day. This must be left to Spain
 | Under all the circumstances, MT. Hale said, the attitude of Spain was one of proper dignity. He had no doubt there was misgovernment in Cuba, but 1t was not localized alone in Cuba. It was found in all the governments of Cen tral and South Africa and in Turkey It was not the duty of the United States to endeavor to correct all the rnisuses of power in the world.
 Out of all this subject MT Hale dis | covered one great danger and that was war. He dreaded it and he was not prepared for it. The sober sense of the people, he believed, was not in favor of war He had been disturbed and made | anxious by the growth of the desire to aggress, to incite trouble and the build ing up of imagery of war rather than of peace. It was militarisnn and he dep- recated it. When militarism took pos session of the minds of 8 power that people, no matter who they were, would soon be within the grasp of 9 strong military dictator He did not look upon this, however, as an immediate danger He believed the good sense of the peo- pie would assert itself.
 ! MT. Hales speech was listened to by a numerous senate and by great crowds | in the gallery, the diplomatic gallery being well filled with ministers and at | taches | The Cuban matter went over and Mir | Turpie, dem., of Indiana addressed the senate on the Dupont case, voicing the views of the minority, against seating l Dupont.
