luton to the committee, but on the gen
eral question declared his purpose Of
supporting the resolution recognizing
Cuban belligerency when it should be
reported by the committee.
Consuls- I'm Danger.
It was developed in the course Of .
colloquy between Senators Foraker,
Morgan and Vest that the state depart
ment had withheld the names of United
States consuls reporting on the serious
condition of affairs in Cuba, because
it might lead to their massacre. Sem
ator Vest declared that this presented
the most serious phase Of the subject,
as it was time to protect our officials
with warships if their personal safety
was threatened for making reports to
their government. =.
No action on the resolution was taken,
but Senator Morgan said he hoped to
secure vote to-day on Senator Hale's
motion to refer. He desired to do this,
he said, in order that the Cuban resolu-
ton might not antagonize the tariff
bill on Monday. -:
When the Cuban resolution came up
Senator Chandler IN. H.) moved that
the adjournment be until Monday, dis
claiming at the same time any intention
on the part Of the opponents Of the reso-
luton to delay action. The debate
proceeded on Senator Chandler's mo.
ton and branched off into unexpected
channels. The motion to adjourn un-
til Monday was finally agreed to.
Wants an Early Vote. =.
=. Senator Hoar said he wanted an early
vote, and was anxious to avoid colli-
sion with the tariff bill. He intended
speaking at length on the resolution,
but had refrained because he wanted
the resolution out Of the way for the
tariff. Senator Gallinger said the Gu
ban resolution had been before the SEN
ate 40 days., and yet complaint was
made by the opponents that they had
not had time to present their views on
it. He thought the senate had made q
mistake in agreeing to adjourn over
uhtf1 Monday. He mentioned a current
report that an agreement for q vote
on Monday would be secured, but said
there was no assurance to this effect.
Senator Cannon said parties may come
and 60, but jingoism' would go on for
ever ever as long, Dis such: mad dog as Wey-
Ter was at large. Weyler he charac-
terized as ravisher Of women, an as
sasin of men, crucifier OF children.
He said the senate should be temple
Of liberty, but instead, he could have
believed from the utterances here that
he was in the Spanish cortes. It was
evident, he said, that the money
changers were in the temple. He ad-
fured the United States to learn to stand
alone in their policies political, in
ternationally and financially. To bid
for European capital was to invite fur
ther enslavement.
If this nation could not stand alone
without the help of the monarchies of
Europe, if it could not survive without
sacrificing manhood for the sake of Sc
curing investments of foreign capital,
it~had come to a tottering old age and
God would blot it out, as He had other
failures. The country needed not so
much a tariff bill or currency reform
as it did greater unity. Nothing would
so unite the country as declaration
that monarchy should not Cypress the
neighboring countries. His only OBJ
lection to the resolution was that it did
not go far enough. The United States
Should establish a protectorate over
able to govern itself. .--
Senator Lindsay (Ky.) declared If the
information furnished by United States,
consuls was SO shocking as to subject
them to danger Of assassination if their
names were disclosed it was time to
send warships to Cuba and to terminate
all diplomatic relations with that coun-
try. ~. e
-:s Foraker Speaks. -:
There was much interest manifested
when, Senator Foraker co., rose to,
speak. II want to say at the outset"
he announced, "that I will vote for this
resolution, or some resolution like It.
In adopting the. resolution the senate
would act strictly in accordance with
international law. There could be no
question Of recognizing the independ-
ence Of Cuba, because no one claimed
that independence existed. Interven-
ton was also out, of the question" Sen
ator Foraker declared, for reasons
which he proceeded to explain. The ex.,
PLANTATION, being an announcement Of
fact hitherto unknown, created q SEN
sation. He said: 49,. 80.
