the committee on foreign relations will
put the Senate in possession of what the
state department is doing in the way of
obtaining the release of Sanguilly, if that
be the object of the joint resolution"
Mr. Daniel-The state department has
been dealing with this matter, diplomatic
ally two years; and two years is long
enough for this government to get a Unit
ed States citizen out of prison.
When Mr.. Hale read a telegram from
havana stating that Sanguilly's appeal
10 Madrid had been withdrawn so as to
facilitate his release. his colleague (AIr.
Frye denounced that withdrawal as a
wicked and unjust act on the part of San
guilly's counsel; and declared with an ac-
companiment of applause from the CALLER
ies) that if he had his way, a ship of war
would start forthwith for Havana.
Mr.. Hale regarded that outburst as tell
ing the whole story. What his colleague
and other senator's wanted was war; but
the country would not he drawn into war
III the next seven days if he (Mr. Hale)
could help it.
Mr.. Hoar showed from the committees
own report that SanguilIy had been only
months instead of five years, i'm the Unit
ed States when he got his naturalization
papers; had then left the country and
had never returned since (having lived in
Cuba for the last eighteen years.. that the
naturalization papers We're fraudulent;
and that Sanguiily was no more an Ameri-
can citizen than Mr.. Daniel was the sub
ject of Turkey
Senators Lodge and Daniel denied the
right of the Senate to go between the
record of the superior court of New York
from which the papers had been issued.
MIR. Teller characterized the conduct of
the state department as "pusillanimous,
ana said that he expected nothing better
from the next administration. He de-
clared that he would make every power
IN the world respect American citizens, if
1t should take all the money, all the ships
and all the men that the country had.
When Mr.. Teller finished his remarks,
Mr. Allen alluded to the fact that the dis
cussion mad been going on for the last
hour on the time of the Indian appropria-
ton bill; and he moved that that bill be
laid aside, and that the Sanguilly resolu-

So the Sanguilly joint resolution was
again taken up formally.
Allusions by Senators Hill and White to
to the Inconsistency of Mr.. Sherman in
having the joint resolution reported yes
terday and expressing the hope that the
Senate would pass it to-day, and then vot-
ing to-day against taking it up brought
Mr.. Sherman to his feet. He said: THE
Senator from California seems to desire
to drag me into the debate, although I do
not care to enter upon 1t. l am in favor
of the pending joint resolution, and 1 think
il ought to command the unanimous ap-
proval of the Senate. l believe that gross
injustice. almost barbarous injustice, has
been done to a naturalized citizen of the
United States who has a right to protec-
ton from the President. / am not in favor
of pressing this resolution at this mo-
ment, as il stands in the way of appro-
priation bills. have so voted, and will so
vote again. trust that after the debate
has gone on a while, the Senate will see
clearly the necessity of taking up the ap-
preparation bills and passing them. l do
not think there is any inconsistency in
that l hope that senators who are op-
posed TO the resolution will not
1t is gredt injustice to say that we who
are in favor of the resolution are opposed
to the passage of the appropriation bills
intend to stand by the committee on ap-
propriations from this day to the end of
the session, but that shall not prevent me
from doing what l think is right in be-
half of the policy of the United States to
protect its citizens against unlawful and
insolent treatment. / trust the time will
never come when an American citizen can
be awronged or prosecuted by any power.
great or small That is the way i feel
now. I am in favor of protecting this
American citizen, though he is a natu-
and violence and tyranny wherever it is
exercised; and when it is exercised against
an American citizen 1 will stand up for
him, even If 1 am alone"

Senator White of California, had the
floor on the Cuban resolution when the
