and he can only escape by pardon. He loses
for himself and for his family all claims for
damages against Spain That Is what Spain Is
contending for. We contend that the man has
been untustly convicted; that he has been
treated against international law, and that
Spain must deliver him up to us. And II had

NOT TO BE DRIVEN INTO WAR
Mr.. Hale-My colleague has told the whole
story. 1t is not desire to have this man re-
leased which is at the bottom Of this matter
What they want IS war That is what the Sena-
tor wants. tell the Senator and the rest of the
Senators that this country will not be driven To
war in the next seven days-not If can help II.
Mr.. Hoar Rep.. Mass) questioned the citizen
ship of Sanguily. and referred to coniIicting
statements the subject in the committees
report.
Mr.. Daniel replied that he did not feel called
upon to go behind the action OF the state De
partment in recognizing the citizenship OF san
gully.
r.
Sanguily had served IN the Cuban instruction
from 1865 to 1878. and that his naturalization
papers bore date in 1878. that he could not
possibly have complied with the law requiring
five years residence
The discussion was still going on when the
morning hour expired. but unanimous consent
was given that Mr.. Daniel should finish his
speech.
SANcu-JIy'S CITIZENSHIP QUESTIONED.
Mr. Hoar brought up once more the question of
Sanguily's citizenship. and once more Mr. Danlei
said that he would not go behind the record In
the matter.
1T appears in this committee report Mr..
Hoar persisted 'in half dozen places that this
naturalization paper taken out In the SUI
perior Court of NewYork in August, 1919. ana
that Sanguily was engaged in the Cuban insur-
rection I'D to 1878 So that IL is absolutely clear
that his naturalization paper Is fraudulent. san
gully is no more American citizen than the
Senator from Virginia is subject of Turkey.
Mr. Lodge :eplied to his colleague, and said
that IL was not for the Committee on Foreign
Relations or for the Senate to go behind the
record Of the Superior Court of the city of New
York Until that record overthrown San
gully was a naturalized citizen. He was not
going to haggle over the question.
CRETE AND CUBA.
The Committee on Foreign Relations Mr..
Lodge said was not seeking to pick quarrel
with Spain but II thought it its duty to ask the
action of the Senate upon the resolution. After
a contemptuous allusion to the four great Pow
ers in their treatment Of Crete. Mr. Lodge found
parallel for 1t in the treatment OF Cuba by the
United States. He desired, he said. to defend
the Committee on Foreign Relations from the
charge made that they were parcel of jingoes |
who were trying TO thrust the country into war
He had no desire to plunge the country into war,
but he desired that American citizens should be |
protected whether naturalized or native-born.
Mr. Hoar quoted the Revised Statutes which |
declare trat no alien shall be admitted to become
citizen who has not for the continuous term of
five years next preceding lived within the United |
States 1t was clear therefore. that Sanguily's !
naturalization papers were fraudulent There |
was no decent pretence to the contrary.
Mr. Teller (Silver. COLI declared that nobody. |
not even the state Department, had right to go
behind the records. He spoke Of the conduct Of
the State Department as pusillanimous. and said !
he expected nothing better from the next Adj !
ministration. But he prayed and hoped that the |
Republican party when it got into power might |
have little of its old fire and spirit He agreed
with the Senator from Maine (Mr. Frye, who |
said that he would send ship to Havana Mr. |
President" he exclaimed, Il would send every |
ship we have got. ] would not count dollars by
the side of American manhood and liberty and
rights. / would make every Power in the world
respect American citizenship if it should take all
the money and all the ships and all the men that
have got to do it,"
THE RESOLUTION TAKEN Up AGAIN.
When Mr. Teller finished his remarks Mr.. Allen !
alluded to the fact that the discussion had been
going for the last hour the Indian Appro
priaton bill. and he moved that that bill be laid
aside and the Sanguy resolution be again
taken up. The motion was agreed to-yeas 40;

So the sanguily joint resolution was again
taken up formally
Mr.. White dem. CALI addressed the Senate
The action Of the Senate to-day he said had
demonstrated that It not its purpose to en-
gage in the business of considering appropria-
ton bills, but would consider joint resolution
which could not possibly pass, or which. II
passed could be effective as II would not re-
ceive Executive approval.
Mr.. Hale said that Senators might as well un-
derstand that If this question were kept before
the Senate IT would he fully debated and would
substantially confscate every hour Of the ses-
sion. leaving many appropriation bills unpassed
Mr.. Hill Dem.. ~ W said that the Premier Of
the next Administration (Mr. Sherman) had re-
ported the resolution yesterday, or had agreed
