Mr.. Hale interposed an objection TO
the construction Mr.. Morgan placed upon
his remarks. and said that what he
meant was that such a resolution could

"Oh. it makes little difference what the
senator now says, retored Mr.. Morgan,
we all knew what he meant. He meant
that 1t should not pass at all. If he could

the floor during the afternoon and made
long speech, not on the merits of the
resolution az all. but for the purpose of
staving off action until something hap
pened. Now that something has hap
pened and how are we informed of it2
Through the press We have nothing
from the president to show that Sanguilly
has been pardoned. We are left alto

tween the president and the congress and
the American people on this Cuban CUES

to get any information out of him. | do

Consul General Lee had called upon Sec
rotary Olney for a warship; inquired
whether there were American ships OF
war ready TO be sent to Havana and
had declared that he would not stand
another Ruiz murder.

THE END IN VIEW.
Mr.. Gray read press dispatch saying
that Secretary Olney had received a
cable today from Consul-General Lee,
stating that Sanguilly had been released
