Extraordinary Demonstrations in The
United States Senate.
CUBA AND saNGUlLY DISCUSSED.
asnat0r Sherman States His Position
Relative to Tho Cuban
Resolution.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The Senate
was storm.swept today by such pas
sionate debate, such extraordinary
demonstrations in the crowded gall
leries, and such dramatic personal ex-
changes between the conspicuous fig
ures OF the Senate, as to make today
ore II the moBt memorable in the
annals OF the upper branch OF Con-
press, Cuba was the theme and
seemed to stir oil the pent.up emotions
of months. 1t brought about the com.
plste displacement OF appropriation
bills, threatening their failure and the
advancement of the Cuban question
to the very front OF Senate business.
1t disclosed, also, that the resolution
demanding OF Spain the immediate
and unconditional release of Julio
5anguily having on test vote secured
the right OF way, would be resisted by
protracted debate.
Daniel dem, Val In fervid plea
for Sauguiiy stirred up all the latent
pession OF the Senate. He spoke OF
spanish outrRges upon American clti-
zens and insults TO American officials.
When Hale OF Maine sought to inter
ject questions Daniel suggestively
stated that he would yield In
due time, whether 1t be to the organ OF
the captain general OF Cuba or Inc
queen OF Spain, or OF any one else. Ia
view Of Mr.. Hnle's attitude ON the
Cuban question the meaning was un-
mistakaple. Personal feeling was
quieted, however, by explanations.
lhis was followed by series OF ex.
plosive incidents, eliminating by q
ringing declaration by Mr.. Frye that
II he had his way warship would
start Tor Havana. This sent thrill
through the crowded gallery, which
broke into loDg.continuod and vocifer-
Qua applause, which tho Vice President
tried vainly to restrain. Mills eIult-
ingly declared that the galleries were
flied with American citizens who had
ar,ght to express their feeling.
AZ O'Clock a Conflict arose as to pre-
ceuence OF business, the bankruptcy
nil being in order. There was u sharp
parliamentary az rmish, W hich resul u
IA the appropriation bill being made
the penuiDg question, but Daniel was
allowed TO continue bis remarks. He
declared that the record IN the San.
gully case showed that the Spanish
authorities had made themselves ms
greenble and offensive AS possible,
and that the exactiOus were made on
n most extraordinary character. "rhe
smallest tribe in darkest Africa" he
said "could never have been treated ae
contemporary by neigbbor as were
the Unite States authorities by the
Spanish tflicisls In Cuba in this mat
ter"
Referring to Consul General viii.
liams's account of ons Of his Inter
views with the governor general, Mr..
Daniel exclalmsu: 81 wish that an
American warship could have teeH

IN American admiral in charge who
would have turned his guns upon that
city ana taught this arrogant, iusOlent
nation-the Turk of the West, the
unspeskable Spanisrd, who ID doing
the work OF he'll in this neigbboring
island, that the demands ofthe United
States government are to be re-
epected."
MIR. Teller now took the floor for q
brief but passionate speech favoring
the resolution. This technical quibbla
over the naturalization was without u
parallel, he began. The facts were
ample to require immediate action.
Such condiIion might be futile. The
Senate had passed resolution as to
Greece, and the secretary OF state had
refused TO transmit 1t to Greece. at
Ia a part OF tho pusillanimous conduct
OF the state department during the last
two years." exclaimed Mr.. Teller. HI
did not expect much more from the
next administration, but no added

this administration Is soon to 60 out oil
