Il ask the senator from Ohio Csherman)
II he has not letter
Mr. Daniel broke in with a protest and
declined to yield further.
Mr. Hale insisted that Mr.. Daniel was
a member of the committee on foreign
relations. and that committee was the or
gan Of the Senate
But I am the organ of my state" de-
Clared the Virginia senator. Then he added
with scorn: When | get through / will
yield to some other organ-tne organ of
the captain general OF Cuba, of the queen
of S.ain-'
Mir. Daniel was looking directly at Mr..
Hale. and the remark sent a buzz of sur
prise through the chamber
Mr.. Hale said the allusion carried no per-
sonal offeuse to him. II offensive things
We're TO he said he could say something in
that line. He in turn was addressing MIR.
Daniel across the aisle.
The Virginia senator was quick to say
that he hoped any badinaSe would not be
taken az personally offer sive;
The senator has not offended me in the
least. replied Mr.. Hale.
Another Explosion.
This was followed Immediately by anoth-
er explosion. Mr.. Daniel proceeded to say
that the State Department had dealt with
this case for two years and two years
enough TO get an American citizen out of
prison.
Eere Mr. Gray arose and said: Il have
just seen an Associated Press dispatch from
Havana statirg that the counsel for San
gully has withdrawn the appeal in order TO
facilitate his release
Mr.. Daniel was quick to al swer. throw
irg great energy into his words: II decline
recognize the Justice of imposing any
condition on the release of American
citizen from unjust Imprisonment. If San
gully. in despair. has submitted to the
tyranny of Spain. and by reason of sick
Ecss. poverty and delay the part of his
n rIrh iS
humiliation to the United States that he
has neen compelled TO withdraw an appeal
as a condition of his release. If | repre-
serted Sanguilly. j would telegraph him not
to withdraw his appeal. There are enough
People in this country to demand his un-
conditional release.
Mr.. Hale again interposed. reading the
Associated Press dispatch that Sanguily's
counsel had Withdrawn the appeal in order
TO facilitate a release
Mr.. Frye's Assertion.
Mr.. Frye. the colleague of Mr. Hale. step
ped into the middle aisle. and. in tones
which rang through the chamber said: IF
the counsel for Sanguilly has done that he
has done an inexcusable. unjust act
Mr. Hale sought to interpose. How can
the senator say that" he asked his col
league
because answered Mr. Frye. with
strong emphasis. IF this counsel has with
drawn that appeal. then that man is a
convicted criminal, liable to punishment to
Imprisonment for life. and can only escape
by pardon. and If he escapes by pardon.
then he loses for himself and family all
claims for damages against Spain. That is
what Spain has been contending for all the
time. Now. We contend, on the other hand
that the man has been unjustly convicted,
that he has not been treated according to
treaty rights. that he has been treate
against International law. and that Spain
must deliver him up 10 us, and if had my
way a ship of-war would start forthwith
TO Havana to deliver him
An Electric Effect.
Mr.. Frye's words carried an electric eff
feet 10 the crowded galleries, and there
vas tumultuous and long-continued dem
onstration. such neither branch of Con-
gress has heard in recent years.
The Vice President strove vainly TO check
the outburst He rose to his feet pounded
the savel. and amid the din gave menac-
ing warning to the galleries that they
would be cleared If the demonstration was
ContLaued.
This is the Senate of the United States"
said the Vice President. sternly.
Mr.. Mills tTeXas) was quickly on his
feet The galleries are filed with Ameri-
can citizens he exclaimed. ''and they
have right to express their feelings on
this question.
Slowly order was restored.
Mr.. Hale had again risen. and with
tinge of bitterness in his words. said of the
statement which had aroused such an cut
break: The senator has told the whole
story Ii is not the release of Sanguilly
that is wanted. War Is what is wanted
And l say that this country will not be
driven to war il the next eight days
The storm subsidized somewhat as Mr.
Hear. turning to the report on the San
gully case. pointed out some indefinite
features to it.
SangniIIy's Naturalization.
Mr.. HOar contrasted Mr.. Sansuilly's own
statement as to rls naturalization by the
United States with that OF the committee.
saying that while the committee had dated
the naturalization in 1878, Sanguiliy had
himself placed ii in 1SS9
Mr. Daniel responded by saying that San
guillys American citizenship was a,knowl-
edged by the Spanish government. and
that the Secretary of State had satisfied
himself on this point
Mr.. Daniel said he did not at this time
intend to go behind these authorities He
thought the statement by Sangully
misprint.
Mr.. Morgan read a communication from
'onsul General Williams placing the date
OF naturalization at 1873 but this state
ment was met by the record that SanguilIy
had been engaged In the Cuban wars from
1873 to 1878 If this be true asked Sen
ator Hoar. how could Saaguily have
complied with the naturalization laws of
dence in the United States before the is
suance of naturalization papers?'
Mr. Daniel continued the line of his
argument. which was intended to show
mat the Spanish policy had been one of
delay and that the demands OF the Ameri-
can government for release or speedy trial
had been practically ignored.
The bankruptcy Bill.
Al O'Clock the chair interrupted Mr.
Daniel 10 lay before the Senate the bank
ruptcy bill. and recognized Mr. Stewart
who spoke briefly. saying that he consid-
cred the involuntary part of the bankruptcy
Dill as cruel as the genius of man could
make it.
Mr- Allison appealed to the Senate to
proceed with the Indian appropriation hill
Mr.. Stewart yielded. but the friends of
the Cuban resolution showed a determine
tion % keep the Cuban question before the
Senate If possible
The appropriation bills and the bank
ruptcy bill. said Mr.. Mills "can wait
until we strike the chains from the limbs
OF an American citizen I'm prison We shall
have time for their consideration in the
extra session Of Congress. and there is
comparatively little urgency about them
lie therefore objected 10 the request of
MI Allison.
Bar Allison then moved that the appro-
pFidIlGu bill be DrDceHdeI with ,rb. MO, Co.,
