says:
l am a Republican, and [ believe in
carrying out the promises of my party
We promised to interfere to stop the
war and give independence to Cuba
Anything less than that is worse than
Lad faith on our part. I shall vote
for resolution for interference if get
a chance"
ROGER Q. MILLS.
Senator Roger @. Mills of Texas says:
Congress owes it to civilization to
recognize the independence of Cuba. We
have aided Spain in uncivilized rule
over Cuba for more than a century. We
have prevented other nations from
freeing Cuba, and the time has come
when we should intervene in Cubas
behalf. But l believe there will not be
any decided action taken by congress,
because anticipate that the president
Will recommend a conservative course
SENATOR GALLINGER.
Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire
says:
u favor giving cuba the rights of bel
ligerency, but viii not introduce any
resolution. NV impression is that the
senate viii act on its own responsible
ity."
SENATOR TELLER.
Senator Henry NJ. Teller of Colorado
says:
We in the senate have done all that
is necessary. We have passed a resolu-
ton granting belligerent rights to the
Cubans. 1 do not say that we have done
all that we should do. but that we have
done all that we can do. Our resolution
passed at the last session is now before
the house, and L believe the house
would pass it by an overwhelming ma
jority if it got a chance to do so, but
l do not suppose they win get a chance
to vote for II. 1 believe the admins
tration is against it now, but of course
] do not know What may be done here
after. l consider our treatment of the
question coWardly and the meanest
thing we have done in years.
i should favor myself a recognition
of belligerency I believe that would
accomplish everything that is needed.
/ should have no hesitation myself,
however. in voting for the independ-
ence of Cuba"
SENATOR MENERY.
Senator McEnery of Louisiana says:
81 favor the speedy passage of the
senate resolution recognizing the bel
ligerent rights of the Cubans. Unless
the administration of affairs in Cuba
improves in the immediate future 1
viii advocate direct intervention on the
part of the national government in the
interests Of humanity, and also di-
recIly in the interest of the people of
the United States, whose social and
political order have been disturbed by
the frequent revolutions in Cuba

most speedily end the war and make
Cuba free. Should the president re-
commend non-interference, IN my
judgment. it would not stay action in
the senate favorable TO Cuban indie
pen6ence."
Senator Pritchard of North Carolina:
L am in favor of giving bel
ligerent rights. but am not prepared
to say 1 favor absolute independence"
Senator John L. McLaurin, of South
Carolina, says:
Congress should recognize that a
state of war exists in Cuba and am
not prepared at present to go further
than that"
BAKER AND PASCOE.

says: I voted for belligerency last
session; 1 shall do so again if the
opportunity is presented. I am in

secondary consideration
