MR. MORGAN CONCLUDES.

Recognition.
SAYS AMERICANS CANNOT MUCH
LONGER BE RESTRAINED.

They Will Cross Gulf of Mexico as Greeks
Are Crossing Mediterranean and
Avenge Cruelties Inflicted by Span
iards-Expects to Secure Vote Early,
Washington, April Ex-senator Morgan
of Alabama, today concluded his long
speech on the resolution declaring that
state of war exists In Cuba. He did
not ask for vote on the resolution but
announced that he hoped to secure a
final vote at an early day.
The bankruptcy bill was taken up at
o'clock. Mr.. Lindsay Of Kentucky,
defended the measure against criticisms
made by Mr.. Nelson.
During the day, Mr.. Davis of Mime
sofa, chairman of the committee on for
eign relations, gave notice that he would
endeavor on Thursday to proceed with

PROCEEDINGS IN DETAIL.
In the Senate today, Mr.. Morgan, DEM
oorat of Alabama, entered upon the
fourth day Of his speech on The resolu-
tion declaring that state of war exists
in Cuba. The Senator asserted that the
course of events led to the belief that our
government was more in sympathy with
his ancient BourborD dynasty than with
our own people. He feared the Ameri-
can people could not be held in check
much longer but that they would Cross
the Gnlf of Mexico as the Greeks were
orc Gi r1r, hnM MoIi
the cruelties which only Turks and Span
lards were capable of intiicti1g.
At2 o'clock the Bankruptcy bill, which
had the right of way, gave way tempo
rarily to allow Mr.. Morgan to conclude
his speech. He said In this connection
that he had spoken for four days at great
personal discomfort to himself and posi-
bly, to the disgust of some Senators, and
yet he regarded it as a duty to lay before
the Senate and the country the sub
stantiRl grounds for the recognition of
state of war in Cuba.
Proceeding, Mr.. Morgan said Spain
was alarmed by the recent vote in the
Senate, and had granted belligerent rights
to Gensal Ruiz Rivea. Following this,
Minister Dnpny de LONE had stated
that the conduct of Spain toward General
Rivera would depend largely on the sup
preston of fllibustering. Had it come to
this then, asked Mr.. Morgan, that Rivera
WAS Go ue ueiu Us h NOStdg0 IOr our Well
doing.
Mr.. Morgan closed shortly before three
o clock. He stated that he would call up
the res0lution.tomorrow rs other Senators
desired to speak OF it, and he hoped to be
able to secure vote on the question at
an early day. In conclusion, Mr.. Nor
gan said he WAS confidant that Cuba
would win her freedom, for that glorious
end was written in the stars.
Consideration of the bankruptcy bill
was then resumed. Mr.. Lindsay of Ken
tucky, spoke in favor of the bill, answer
ing.the criticism of Mr.. Nelson of Min
nesota.
The Kentuokian denied that the oom-
mlttoe bill was In the interest of the
creditor class and asserted that it vas
designed for the relief of unfortunate
debtors.
At. 4.45 p m. the Senate went into
executive session and soon after ad-
journed.
