The police however, are inclined th the
belief that he is mistaken, and think that
Lang was not mixed up with the affalr.
lie Will be held To await further InVesi-
cation. Lang claims to have spent the
evening with friends at the theater, and
was with them MP to 1890 O'Clock.
When the officers called on Bell yes
terday morning. they focnd him in bed
with his head done mp in handases. There

Mi. Mills took The ground that mas
much as the United Sta1es would not per-
nit England, France or any other country
10 purchase or obtain The island from Spain
ami thus TO ameiiorate the conditions OF
its nhabitants, the United States WAS
morally bound to put a stop 10 the cruei-
ties and misgovernmeut there and TO aid
Cubans to establish a government OF tbeir
own.

rights, not only in Cuba, but in every foot
of soil in the Western Hemisphere; that
tnaJ WIS the Monroe doctrine; that that
doctrine was as Old as humanity and that
God Almighty was its author, as 1T was
the right OF self-preservation.
The United States should say 10 Spain,
Mr.. Mills exclaimed, you must give that
island seIf-govcrnment, or we Will AND
we are able to do it, too

correspondence bearing on the Cuban CUES
ton was brought forward 10y Mr.. Morgan,
and then the joint resolution was placed
