the senate this afternoon. Senator Nor
gan opposed the motion to adjourn from
tomorrow until Monday. He gave some
details of the subcommittee of the SEN
ate committee on foreign relations, to
the executive, in efforts to secure in
formation. He said he refused to accept
consular information, at the hands of the
executive, with the injunction of secrecy
imposed. He said that two other mem
bers OF the committee had received in
formation, which they could not impart
to the other members of the senate. Ex-
planning, he said the Injunction of Sc
crecy applied only to the names of con-
suls. In reply to question from Sena-
tor White, Senator Morgan said that both
the president and secretary of state, i'm
posed this condition. Senator Foraker
said the department impaired all the in
formation at its command freely. The
only restriction had been as to the use of
the names of consuls. motion to ad-
iourn from tomorrow until Monday was
then agreed to. Senator Vest asked in
view of the fact that there was fear of
danger to consuls in giving names, If the
government had sent any gunboats to
Cuba for their protection. No one re-
piled. Senator Foraker said that another
reason for not making known the sources
of information, was the fear that publi-
cation might cut of further information.

partment's command, with the names OF
the authors, should now be sent to the
senate as private information, to be con-
aslovoI IN nvnOukiva ooaninn

made by opponents, that they had moi
