Senator Foraker Points Out the Effect of
the Recognition OF Cuban Belligerency


the Recognition OF Cuban Belligerency
Cincinnati, o., May 22-The follow
ing dispatch has been received by the
Commercial Tribune from Senator For
aker:
Recognition of belligerency means
nothing more than as expressed in the
Morgan resolution, that we propose to
take a position of neutrality, and here
after treat the Cubans precisely as we
treat Spain.
1T puts us in a position to protest
against Legitimate warfare. 1t is not an
act of hostility to Spain, but it will,
no doubt, be a disagreeable act to her,
because it places the Cubans on an
equality with her, and puts us in a
position to say to her that thereafter
combatants taken in battle shall be
treated as prisoners of war, instead Of
being shot in their tracks as traitors.
I'VE can also protest against illegit-
innate methods of warfare of every
kind
The right of search of our merchant
men relates to contraband goods of
war. and to release Spain from liability
to make reparation for injury to Amer
lean citizens. and the destruction of
their property. will not be serious, since
the right of search is well defined and
no abuse of it would be tolerated. and
50 far as damages are concerned, Spain
denies her liability in the first place,
and is bankrupt anyhow
1T is my opinion, to state in a word,
that the recognition of belligerency is
the beginning of the end of the most
atrocious and horrible tyranny and war
that has disgraced the civilization OF
the nineteenth century.

It's pretty nearly time that some
thing was done in the direction of the
erection of a new passenger station
building at this city for the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company.
Nearly year has now passed since
the old station at the mouth of the
creek was wrecked by a flood. and yet
nothing has been accomplished in the
way Of repairing the damage, and there
is ~A prospect that the Company in
tends taking action, either this year or
next.
Every once in a while high officials
come TO the city, but they are always
en- route to some other place. and only
stop over for an hour or two. Their
heads are full of business pertaining
10 the affairs of the corporation, but
it is invariably located at some other
point, anu the thought constantly re-
ours why they should not be worried
a little about the local situation.
Wheeling deserves consideration. 1t is
the largest and best paying station on
the line between Washington City. and
Pittsburg or Columbus, yet it is do
ing business in the most temporary of
quarters. in a locality difficult to reach
by the travelling public. and with very
inadequate facilities, and as far as out
ward indications go, it will continue
on in that way for years TO come.
II is high time that Wheeling bust
ness men were moving in this regard.
We have a Chamber Of Commerce
which presents an imposing appearance
on paper-but which only gets togeth-
er at rare intervals. and then generally
with a bare quorum. Why should not
meeting be called. let at least one
hundred of the solid business men Of
the city respond, and appoint a strong
committee to make representations to
the Company. In the meantime Coun-
ell might act with entire propriety at
Tuesdays meeting. and between the
two bodies some show of interest might
he made. which would at least attract
the attention of the railroad authori-
ties. The receivers. and perhaps some
other officials of the Company, will be
here again in a week or less. according
to current report and the time is op-
perfume to do something in this regard.
VIII the officers of the Chamber Of
Commerce call a meeting? We make
the motion. Do we hear a second?
