Washington, May 1O.-The Morgan Cuban resolution was discussed as con- siderable length in the senate today For the first time since the debate began the opposition expressed itself, MT. Hale, of Maine, and Mn White, of California, speaking against ehe resolution, while MT. Turpfs, of Indiana, suppored it.
 MT Chandler, republican, of New Hampshire, from lthe committee on cen sus reported a bill for taking the twelfth census.
 The Morgan Cuban resolution was taken up 10 permit MT. Hale, republican, of Maine, to speak in opposi,i ion before leaving the city The senator said there would always be a genuine and heart felt sympathy throughout this country for evary people struggling in behalf of human liberty. Such sympathy could not be the exclusive property of any sen ator or body of senators in this chamber, for 1t was universal. But not every re- volt is in the direction of humanity and liberty, and before invoking this sym parhy the facts must be calmly reviewed to see if they warranted action.
 MT. Hale pointed out that the pending resolut tiQl came from no executive olnceF, no committee, no subcommittee. u ma u it's root and birthplace, he said, In the mind of the senator Of Alabama INT. Morgan). He did nos doubt the sincerity of that senator, who was ready, no douot, to follow the resolution to its logical re- suls, even though its adoption should De followed by the withdrawal of the span ish minister from Washington, the term ina tion of diplomatic relations between the United States and Spain and the pos elh nf senator (Nfr. Morgan) was no more alarmed py the spectacle of a drawn sword than ne was year ago.
 MT. Hale reviewed the policy of Pres ident Cleveland and MT. Olney on Cuba. 1t was a conservative and peaceful poi- icy, he said.
 The senator said few real Americans were imprisoned in Cuba. The informa- lion of the state department some time since disclosed that there were not more than twelve. And he had never heard or a genuine Yankee being among them. They were all Sanguil1ys, or Delga' dos or Ruizs. Turning to his associate. MT. Hale said that no one ever heard or a Burrows or Smith or Frye as Vic- tim of one of those alleged outrages. There was not genuine Morgan among them. The senator said the real motive for the Morgan resolution was shown in the recent statement of MT. Morgan that tha pasxa ge of this resolution would pre- vent Spain from making loan, and thus prevent her from putting down her ln- surrection
 MT. GaIlinger dissenxed from this state ment, saying the question of loan was but one ground on which the friends of Cuba had favored the recognition Of Cuban belligerency. There was, he said, other and higher grounds
 MT. Morgan also dissented, saying the resolul.ion Wns predicated on a number Of grounds, and a Spanish loan was referred to only ito show that delay was danger ous.
 Proceeding, MT. Hale said the president should be left unhampered to pursue the investigation he had entered upon, and 1t would bs unwise to embarrass him by resolution requiring approval or veto.
 The country does not ask such action. If there was a real sentiment througout the country hundreds of veterans would spring to arms But. on the contrary sixteen men had started to aid Gresce in her struggle, where one had gone to Cut1 MT. Hale closed wi.ih a motion to fer the resolution to the committee on foreign relations.
 The Cuban resolution was laid aside Temporarily to allow MT. Vest to secure agreement 10 a resolution directing the committee on commerce to inquire into the cause ofcha recent floods In the Mis- sippi river and report to the senate next December The consideration of the Gu ban resolution was resumed, and MT. Tul-pie, of Indiana, spoke in support of it.
 '"This is the age of revolution" ex claimed the senator, "and I hope it will last long enough to drive the last rem nant of monarchy from the American continent"
 Referring to the reports that another Spanish loan was being negotiated, MT. Turpfe said:
 .'Spain is now on its last legs, finan- cially Shall we fill up her treasury? Are we charged with supporting and main saining the Spanish credit? Is 1t our duty to support the armies and navies Of Spain on land and sea in her vain eff forts to subject the pattrio;s of Cuba pnea more to the oppression of the Span- ish yoke? I think not. But the senator from Maine says that if we pass ehe resolution the Spanish minister will ask for his passports, break up diplomatic relations and go home. I do not a attach importance to that consequence. Minis- ters have heretofore had their conge and gone away without destroying the polit- ical geographical or physical equilibrium of the American hemisphere. I do not attach the slightest importance to the faea that the Spanish minister may be instructed to ask for his papers, or sus- pend diplomatic relations and go home"
 MT. White,- of California, followed in opposition to the resolution. He argued that the corid,.ion of recognized bellig erency was one propsrly to be exercised by the executive branch.
 MT. Merrill, republican, of Vermont, gave notice that he would speak on the resolution tomorrow.
 The motion then went ito the table, and ths senate, at 3:10 D. m., went into ex- ecuitive session, and shortly afterwards adjourned.
 IN THE HOUSE.
