MARTIAL SPIRIT RISES

effort by asserting that Spain recog-
,ized him as an American citizen and
that was sufficient.
At L o'clock q conflict arose as to prec
edence of business. the bankruptcy bill
being in order. There was sharp pari-
amentary skirmish, which resulted in the
appropriation bill being made pending
question, but Mr. Daniels was allowed 10
continue his rtmarks. He said that the
record in the Sanguily case showed that
the Spanish authorities had made them
selves as disasreeable and offensive as
possible, and that the exactions made
were Of a most extraordinary character.
1.-The smallest tribe in Central Africa"
he said. ''cou.d never have been treated
as contemptuously by a neighbor as
were the United States authorities by the
Spanish officials in Cuba in this mat
ter
referring to Consul General Williams
account of one OF his interviews with the
governor general. Mr.. Daniel said:
JUST ONE AMERICAN.
ST wish that an American warship
could have then been IN the haroor OF
charge VINO would have turned his guns
upon that city and taught that arrogant
insolenr nation-the Turk Of the west,
the unspeakable Spaniard, who is doing
the work Of hell in this neighboring
island, that the demands of the United
States government are to be respected
Such course would, continued, have
produced Sanguily's release besides show
ing the Spaniards that in building their
hopes OF success upon course Of contu-
mely towards the United States they
were building upon foundation of sand.
II seemed, said Mr.. Daniel, that some
thing was going on between this country
and Spain. and poor Sanguily had with
drawn his appeal doubtless on the assur-
ance that If he should plead guilty and
brand himself for life. ne could steal out
of prison. The senator earnestly hoped
this report was not true.
THE humiliation Of a citizen Of this
country is the humiliation Of every citi-
zen in It," exclaimed MIR. Daniel
Mr.. Daniels peroration was a fervent
plea for an unconditional surrender Of
our compatrio, back to US from the brut-
al tyranny which was the curse Of Spain
and the disgrace ot civilization.
LODGE BLACKS HOAR'S EYE
Mr.. Hoar again Brought forward the
claim as to Sanguily's citizenship, assert
ing that his naturalization papers were
ffaudulently obtained. and that he was
10 more an American citizen than was
Senator Daniel citizen Of Turkey.
Though this statement was directed at
Mr. Daniel, the reply came from Senator
Lodge, who stated that Sanguily held
naturalization papers from court OF rec
o-d of New York. and it is not for us
to haggle over these papers and say
to American citizens. we viii try you on
your naturalization papers"
Because this resolution was brought
forward, senator's. added Mr.. Lodge,
come here and say we inted to precipitate
war. General Grant kept warships at
Havana during the former outbreak, and
did any one suggest that il meant war?
The committe, in presenting this resolu-
ton, was not seeking to pick quarrel
with Spain; il was not seeking war. Was
the protection of an American citizen TO
be stopped by taunts Of war? he asked
Mr.. Lodge spoke OF the influence OF
business interests against Cuban action.
He believed the best thing for business
would be decisive action and an end TO
this conflict. But the prevailing influ-
ences were otherwise. We have decided,
ne said, at the White House and at the
capital that this bloody conflict shall go
on to its inevitable end of devastation.
Recognizing this said Mr.. Lodge,
when We bring in a resolution to pro-
tect an American citizen we are to be
arraigned as a parcel of jingoes who
want to plunge the country into war;
l have no desire for war with Spain or
any other country: do desire that every
American citizen shall have the fullest
protection Of the American government.
HOAR KEEPS NAGGING.
Mr.. Hoar again pointed out the irregu-
larity Of Sanguily's papers.
Mr. Teller took the floor for brief but
passionate speech favoring the resolu-
ton. This technical bubble over the
naturalization was without parallel. he
began. The facts were ample 10 require
immediate action. Such action might be
futile The senate had passed a resolu
ton as to Greece and the secretary OF
state had refused TO transmit Il TO
Greece.
1T is part Of the pusillanlmous con-
duct Of the state department during the
last two years" exclaimed Mr.. Teller.
He did not expect much more from the
next administration, but, he added, with
intense feeling:
Il thank God that this administration
IL soon to go out Of power"
He hoped the Republican party would
rescue IN. country from its despised po
si;ion before the nations of the world.
Il approx. the statement Of the sens-
tor F'Tye) tina. a ship should be sent -

AVOTE Is TAKEN.
Mr. Allen then made a stroke which
added new surprise 20 the situation He
moved 70 lay ASIDE the Indian Dill. which
was technically before the senate. and =

Mr.. Hill asked For the ayes and nays

The roll call was followed with intense
interest. and when the motion prevailed.
