Washington. May Cuba engaged
the attention of the senate yesterday
The 1l public interest in the subject was
shown by the great crowds that be-
sieged the galleries throughout the
day Two phases of the subject were
presented. First came the question Of
relief to destitute and starving Amer
leans in Cuba, and at 2 O'clock Mr..
Morgan's resolution caused a spirited
debate. The first question was pre-
sented in the presidents message as
soon a the session opened.
The message called attention to the
restitution of Americans in Cuba and
recommended an appropriation of $780,
600 for their relief. Immediately fol-
lowing its reading Mr.. Davis, chair
man of the committee on foreign re-
ations, presented a favorable report
on joint resolution originally intro
dueed by Mr.. Gallinger appropriating
$780, 900 for relief Of American citizens
IN Cuba. The resolution passed with
out division.
. Promptly at 2 o'clock the Morgan
Cuban resolution was taken up. Mr..
Morgan stated that unless some sen
ator desired to speak he would ask q
yea and nay vote on the pending mo-
ton of Mr.. Hale to refer til eresolu-
ton to the committee on foreign af-
fairs. The vote was about to be taken
when Mr.. Wellington Of Maryland
arose for his maiden speech, which
proved to be a vigorous protest against
the resolution and plea for it's refer
ence to the committee on foreign rela
tons.
MI. Stewart argued for the resolu-
tion, saying it voiced the sentiment Of
the American people. Mr.. Daniel Of
Virginia replied in a sarcastic vein to
some Of Mr.. Wellington's remarks,
and then read carefully prepared
manuscript involving the legal points
IN the recognition of belligerency. At
ter concluding his legal argument Mr..
Daniel branched to the general sub
iect Of Cuba and aroused the keenest
attention by his vigorous words. At
the close of Mr.. Daniels speech Mr..
Mason of Illinois secured the floor and
will speak when the resolution is
taken up tomorrow at o'clokc.
