Washington, May lo.-The Morgan
Cuban resolution was discussed at con-
siderable length in the senate to-day.
For the first time since the debate be-
gan the opposition sentiment expressed
itself. The speeches were not OF kind
to stimulate the galleries. being in the
main calm and dispassionate reviews
of the situation i'm Cuba.
Hale maintained that Il would he
most unwise to embarrass the
president by the adoption of the reso-
luton at a time when he was investi-
eating the subject. He intimated also
that the acceptance of the resolution
would lead to the withdrawal of the
Spanish minister and termination of
diplomatic relations between Spain and
the United States. The senator said
few real Americans were imprisoned in
Cuba. He had never heard of genuine
Yankee being among them. They were
all Sanguillys or Delgados or Ruizes.
turning to his associates, Hale said
that no one ever heard of Burrow or
Smith or Frye as a victim OF one
of these alleged outrages. The senator
said the real motive for the Morgan
resolution was shown In the recent
statement OF Morgan that the passage
OF this resolution would prevent Spain
from making a loan and thus prevent
her from putting down the insurrection.
Galilnger dissented from this state

was but one ground on which the
friends Of Cuba had favored the recog-
milton OF Cuban belligerency. There
were. he said. other and higher
grounds.
Morgan also dissented, referring TO
reports that another Spanish loan was
being negotiated. Turpie. democrat. OF
Indiana. said Spain Is now on her last
legs. financially. Shall we fiji up her
treasury? Are we charged with sup
porting and maintaining the Spanish
credit? Is II our credit? IL IL our duty

Spain on land and sea In her vain ef-
forts to subject the patriots of Cuba

Spanish yoke? l think not. But the
