Congressional.

|. WASHINGTON, February 28.-In tho
Senate to-day the Cuban resolutions
were discussed. Lindsay said that
the only results of the trouble in Cuba
would be the complete independence
OF Cuba or the utter humiliation of
the Cuban people. The only step by
Congress which would avail would be
the recognition of the complete indie
pendence Of Cuba. The resolution
did not contemplate active interven-
ton. 1t extended our good Offices to
Spain with the view of securing the
intimate independence of Cuba.
Spain owed Cuba as much as 1ur.
key owed Armenia, or as the United
States owes Venezuela, but Spain
contemplated the humiliation of all
the able-bodied men in Cuba to crush
the instruction. Sherman closed
the debate and said that the United
States must intervene and stop crime
which was beyond description. Sher
man said he did not favor Cuban an
ne xation 10 the United States, but
strongly favored Cuban annexation to
Mexico, with it's kindred people.
Gallinger followed Sherman in the
Senate with strong appeal for the
recognition of Cuban independence
He said That Cuba was making a
struggle the same as the United States
made in 1776. and that Weyler was a
tyrant. lie believed that Cuba
would attain its indepe ndence, but
this country could make the contest
briefer with the proper word of en-
couragement.
The Serate Committee on Elections
and Privileges to-day appointed sub
committee, consisting of Mitchell Of
Oregon, Burrows and Turpie, to con-
slider Mitchell's resolution for the cleo
ton of Senators by a direct vote o.
the people, with instructions to repor
on Friday.
| The Senate passed the Cuban reso
lutions recognizing the beigerency
OF the Cnbans and requesting Presi
deEt Cleveland to exercise his friend
ly offices with Spain TO secure the in
dependence of Cuba.
