American citizens in Cuba all hope of recompense
for injury done to them. He alluded sarcastical-
ly to Mr. Mason's innocent and youthful ardor.'
Thereupon Mr.. Mason asked: Twill the Senator
yield for a question:"
"Ssr of them" replied Mr.. Hoar, seemingly In
an angry mood.
Are you willing to have vote on this ques-
tion?" Mr. Mason queried.
VI expect to have one was the answer.
'Will you help to get one?" Mr.. Mason per-
sisted.
II expect to help to get a more intelligent one
than some OF the Senators seem to want. MT
Hoar replied.
Then he proceeded to express surprise that AL
this great brass band talk about outrages on
women and children practised at our doors
should be followed by this squeaking morsel OF
a resolution" Parodying the opposition, Mr:
Hoar acclaimed: Whereas, our ancestors loved
liberty, and whereas we are the greatest nation
on earth" and similar whereases, and remarked
parenthetically: when we are the greatest ma
ton we will stop talking about 1t. no great ma
ton brags Of it,"
He continued Whereas we arc not afraid OF
any nation on earth will say to Mrs spain:
We are not afraid of you and II your mobs de-
stroy the property IF our citizens we'll not ask
damages for it," The Senate, he said. should
ask the President to use his good offices with
Spain to secure peace and the independence OF
Cuba and that was VIII x the Republican plat.
fern proposed He would have the facts found
as a court found them before entering judgment,
and would then say to Spain: we nave louno
such and such facts on when we propose u :.
act and If you don't stop that war we'll stop It,
and he would not stand in the Senate ana Drag
ard sputter.
Mr. Hoar said with some feeling that he sup
posed he was one OF the barnacles 10 WHICH
Mr.. Mason had referred. He spoke OF the great
institutions OF the country the supreme court
and the Senate. They were supposed TO be free
1om the current OF rsS hw Haeu ma reports
idle chatter Speaking Of the reckless introduc-
ton of resolutions based on idle reports. i
am sick of this kind of action in the United
States Senate" Mr.. Hoar declared. Il think
1t is dsgraceful. The Senator wants to put down
a war with Spain. and he would put II down
with mosQuitoa mosquito OF much buzz and
very little sting"
"A New-Jersey mo5QuitO?" Queried Mr. Mason,
gayly, amid laughter.
II know the reputation of New-Jersey mos
quito" responded M Hoar, "and one OF them
two hours out of the egg has more sense than
the resolution urged by the Senator from Hi
noiS."
NOTHING ACCOMPLISHED BY TALK.
Mr.. Hoar closed with the some what con-
tcmptuous remark that he believed little could
be accomplished for Cuba "by speeches for bum
combe or for Chicago. to be followed by no
practical or sensible action"
Mr.. Galnger expressed surprise that Senators
should be accused of speaking for the applause
of the galleries and Of furnishing burcombe for
constituents These Senators had sought for
months to secure consideration Of Cuban reso-
luton but had been cut off by filibusterng meth
DDS.
Mr. Hale earnestly protested aga inst this ref
erence to fibusteriny. He gave in detail the
time consumed by the advocates and the oppo-
merits of the pending resolution showing that
n ost of the speeches had como from those favor
able TO the resolution. I'm view OF this. he pro-
ceeded 1T is the height OF audacity and impu-
dence"--
Mr. Gallinger who still held the floor. declined
to yield further
Then I withdraw the impudence,' proceeded
Mr.. Hale. 1T was at least sort OF colossal
cheek
Mr. Gallinger peremptorlly declined to yield
further He criticised the course Of Senators
who accused their associates OF audacity and
cheek whenever they had anything to say In be-
half Of Cuba.
Later Mr. Hale said that there would be no
unnecessary delay on the resolution. After fair
discussion it would be voted on. He was as anx-
ious as any one to see the resolution out OF the
way
THE COUNTRY UNPREPARED FOR WAR.
Mr.. Hawley. Of Connecticut, said that while he
shared in the sympathy expressed for Greece and
other afflicted countries. yet it was not for the
United States to step forward and see that Jus
tice prevailed the world over. He deplored the
lightness with which war discussed. So far
az war was concerned. he feared war, particular
" in view Of our defenceless coasts and made
ouate armament. We should make ourselves mt
for war before talking so manfuiiy OF a resort to
arms.
In the course Of Mr.. Hawley's remarks ques-
ton arose as to the neutrality laws. Mr. Hoar
endeavored TO explain whereupon Mr.. Mason
made a tocular remark in a stage whisper which
made several Senator'S laugh.
Turning to Mr.. Mason. Mr.. Hoar salo' III 'his
