CUBA's CAUSE.

Mr.. Morgan, Dem) of Alabama, re-
sumed his speech in support of THE
resolution to recognize the Cubans as
.beliigerents
The senator viewed the policy of the
,UnlGed States regarding Cuba since the
time of President Adams. The latter
prophssied that within fifty years Cuba
would be state of the United States
and thereafter Webster, Clay, Jeffer-
son and other statesmen uniformly
urged the acquisition of Cuba by the
United States.
Mr. Morgan said the atrocities of
the Spanish in controlling the Cubans
we're almost without parallel i'm his
tory In the last war not only had
1900 Cubans been killed in BATTLE
but $4,000 prisoners had been put to
death. 1t was most shocking holo-
caust. The senator said he had paus-
ed in wonderment to think that the
United States had steed silently by at
this awful slaughter of $4,000 prison
ers instead of moving sword in hand
and driving the Spaniards from ile
island.
Mr.. Frye asked if the awful shocking
statement was HISTORICAL Mr. Morgan
replied that it was history. deliberate
ly written by a Spaniard, appearing in
the American encyclopedia under the
title Cuba" The present war, said
Mr.. Morgan, was but a renewal of the
former. General Gomez had returned

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The public
interest in the Cuban question was
shown today by the crowds which
came to the senate galleries in antici-
patton of a continuance of the Cuban
debate. The diplomatic gallery show
ed the largest representation since
the session opened, the ministers of
Brazil, Chill, Hawaii and several other
countries being present.
Mr.. Morgan. of Alabama, occupied
almost the entire day in a narrative
and historical speech. Mr.. Morgan
spoke three hours and had not con-
cluded when the senate adjourned.
A significant vote on the resolution
for an investigation of recent bond is
sues was taken during the day. Mr.
Lodges resolution for an investigation
came up and Mr.. PETER offered an
amendment for a special committee
and a more comprehensive inquiry. Mr..
Lodge sought to have the amendment
land on the table, but his motion to
this effect was defeated Is to "a. Final
action was not secured as Mr. Hill
carried the debate beyond 2 o'clock.

tabling the resolution, as he thought
it desirable to discuss it. He, regarded
the Lodge resolution as proper in
form and giving due courtesy to the
secretary of the treasury. But he did
not consider it the province of the
senate to investigate everything
brought before the senate. 1t was de-
sirable to look into the motives in
spring these various resolutions. Re
quests for information We're one thing
but formal Investigations were an
other and more serious question. An
investigation carried to the public
an implication of irregularity. Before

IF this investigation is begun there
will be no means of stopping an in

there is anything i'm the recent bond
sale requiring investigation, said Mr..
Hill. there should be a formal reso-
tuition stating just what was charged,
in order that the results might be com
pared with the expectation. AS the
resolution stood now it was a stab in
the dark it was an attempt to in
simulate what the author (Mr. Peffer)
of THE resolution was afraid to state

Mr. Hill referred to recent speech
by Mr.. Allen (PopD Of Nebraska. in

by Colonel Hernandez. The engage
ment lasted an hour and sixir'1f the
enemy's men were killed. The gov
eminent troops arrived at Catalina
late in the night with two men
wounded.
Knowing by the report of a spy that
the enemy was at Plantation FL Cato,
Colonel Fort went to meet them.
About two and a half miles from the
plantation, strong groups of the en-
envy began firing with the intention
of deceiving the government troops,
but Colonel Fort pursued his way to
the plantation and was met by the
ire of the enemy who were entrench-
ed In a strong position. formed in half
circles, according to their usual tao
tics. The troops disfodged them from
the sides by the fire of the artillery,
the center being taken by the infan-
try. The enemy made a final stand in
the ruins of the house that was
stormed by troops of the Pirano rsgi-
ments, and two companies of the We
raga battalion. The
LOSSES OF THE ENEMY
were ten killed, Ceft on the field, and
about thirty that were carried away
and many wounded. The bands en-
gagged Dy ufle government Columns
were those of Maceo, Trayas. Parras,
Carderas and Calmuga, united with
force from 1000 to 5000 men. The
enemy tried to make a last stand but
were dispersed, the principal groups
retreatfng toward the Esperanto hills.
The government casualties were one
captain and six soldiers dangerously
wounded, and six others more or less
wounded.
A civilian carried by force of the
insurgents to serve as guide, said
when he returned that the insurgents
are disabled and discouraged in con-
sequence of the constant prosecution;
that they carried away more than 200
wounded and rendered full justice to
the courage of the troops. The guide
said they are engaged in a running
match.

HIS BLOODY CODE.

The great body of native Cubans are
in favor of the insurrection, although
the bloody code of Weyler holds them
in subsection. Spain has sent to the
conflict up to this time siXty-one YES
sells, 10000 men and has $4,000 volun-
teers for garrison duty. And yet this
vast force cannot keep General Gomez
from hearing the morning and evening
guns of Havana.
After reading from reports from
United States consuls Mr.. Morgan said
no one could doubt without impeaching
our own consuls that the. mass of Gu
bans were in sympathy with Gomez
and Maceo, and that in the end the
Cubans were certain to achieve their
liberty.
The senator read a letter from Cuba,
written he said, by thoroughly reli-
able authority. It described the grad

be set for March 9, and this carried

ters force was placed by this authority
at 1900. The writer spoke OF the lack
of intelligent information by the Span
ish officials at Havana, the captain gen.
eral knowing as little of existing condi-
lions as the president of the United
States.
Mr.. Morgan said the bloody code of
General Wey1er was without a paral-
lei in modern warfare. 1t was aimed
against women and children and inno-
cent tradesmen. If this inhuman code
was directed against one American cit
iZen, said the senator, then Spain
should understand that seventy million
people would visit upon her such
redress as would make the Cuban up-
rising a mere trifie in comparison. We
had the right to insist that the, rules
of civilized warfare be observed.
The senator said the adoption of
this resolution would not only apnIv

as follows:
Resolved. That the senate conten-

United States have not interfered and
will not, unless their vital interests so
demand, interfere with existing colo

nevertheless our people have never
disguised and do not now conceal their
sympathy for all those who struggle
as do the Cubans now in
revolt, to exercise, maintain and pre-
serve the right of self-government.
Nor can we ignore our exceptional and
close relations to Cuba by reason of
proximity and our conse-
quent grave interest in all questions

Judge Campbell Held the Complaint to
Be Fatally Defective.
The preliminary examination of Father
P. G. Yorke for criminal libel alleged to
have been committed in an article pub
lished in the Monitor rejecting on George
Thistleton was yesterday briefly disposed
of. A large crowd, chiefly the friends of
the defendant. was in attendance and it
was found necessary to remove from Judge
Campbelps courtroom to the more
spacious quarters of Judge Joachimsen.
Even then only small portion OF those
in waiting could be admitted.
After reading the complaint w. w.
Foote MADE technical objection to the
complaint. In the discussion Judge
Cam pbeI raised the point that the alleged
libelous statement to the effect that 1.-The
red hand of Rome had landed him in San
Quentin" was not sufficiently specific.
Foote urged the point, declaring II was
necessary In criminal com plant to con.
strue complaint strictly. K. M. Smith,
Thistleton's attorney, argued that the
words should be taken in their common
acceptation in the State In which they
are used. Judge Campbell, however, held
that the statement that a man had been
landed at San Quentin did not necessarily
imply he had Deen there rs a convict and
accordingly dismissed the case.

ian wines, and thus keep the standard OF
Italian wines high. Stations of this kind
are maintained in London, Switzerland,
New York and other cities.
Signor Rossati has had charge OF the ex-
pert station in Switzerland two years, OF
the one in London SIX years and of the
station in New York for about year. He
was a thorough wine man in the Degin-
nIng. having been born to the business,
besides attending a wine-school for eight
years.
He has for some time past, in accord
ance with the duties as speci al envoy to
which he has recently been appointed,
been visiting New York, Ohio and Mis-
souri, and studying the grape and wine
interests there.
Now he has come to California. He
has already spent several days In the out
lying vineyards, and has been examining
and testing the wines. He intends travel
ing all over the State, and will spend at
least month here.
Italy is desirous of extending the sale
of her wines" said Mr.. Rossati, "but be-
sides this she wants to learn ell she can

on in other parts of the world. Special
representatives have been sent by Italy
recently to all parts of the globe to get

Wine making is a mighty industry

in the industry. and also create new mar
kets and extend old ones.
" The grape and wine industry In the
States East is entirely different from what
it is in California. Here it is almost ex-
actly what il is in Italy. You grow the
same grapes, have the same soil and
climate and handle the business SINH

great country like this.
II have been surprised to find your
wines so good, especially the white wines
and the light red, or Znfandels, with
which am really charmed.
"All the grapes of the East consist of
the Labruscas, or the Concords, Cataw-
bas, Delawares and similar varieties.
They are more table grape than suitable
for wine. These grapes are indigenous to
the East, with one other kind that | saw
there, the Riparia, or wild grape, which
is found along the Mississippi. They
tried to graf hat grape, but did not sue
ceed with it. Tne grapes in these States
are subject to phylloxera, and there is no
good remedy ior that there. Besides,
they have the mildew. 1t is not really
country for wines.
