IaDau Buys Alabama Iron.

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 1S.-Scy-
cral months ago the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railroad company and the
Sloss From and Steel company made
trial shipments Of Alabama pig iron
to Japan. These were tested ana
proved SO satisfactory that the Jap
ancsc brokers at Kobe and Yokohama
have made extensive purchases OF
Alabama iron for shipment to these
ports, the first shipment OF 1900
tons having been forwarded to Pen
sacola, Fla, today where it will be
loaded on a steamer. Other ship
mcnts will follow in the near future
Heretofore the English furnaces
have been Japan,s chief source OF
iron supply, but the Alabama opera
tors were able to undcrbid them: ano
as a result expect to build up anf
hold large iron trade in Japan.

wAsHINoroS, Jan. 26.-Mr. Turple Dem,
Ind resu In the Senate to-day his speech.
begun yesterday. regarding the recognition Of
the republic of Cuba. He said that he would
much rather depend upon the credit OF the Cuban
republic than upon the resources OF Spain,
stripped as she will DO of one great source Of
revenue. the island OF Cuba.
He quoted from = message OF President Mon
roe in 1917 on the subject OF tho war between
spain and her rsvolted South American colonies
to show that belliEerenoy was thon. In the SEQ
ond gear OF the war, recognized by tho United
States. He also quoted from President Monroe's
messages of 1919 and 1890 on the same subject,
In which tho hope Is expressed that Spain will
terminate the exhausting controversy on tho
basis OF independence, not on that of autonomy
as now suggested by the Administration for
Cuba. The war had then. been carried ION for
four years. whereas the present Cuban war
had been going, on for twelve years,
and Mr.. Monroe declared that Repub-
lican Independence had been maintained un-
recognition of Cuban belligerency would be a
cause for war with, Spain, then the United
states should have declared war against spain
pomattoI. But war had never ensued from the
recognition Of bslllgrrency. nor even from the
hAn recognized the Independence OF seven South
American colonies in succession without war
ensuing. Amlty and peace prevailed between
the United States and spain and were not broken.
There was no fear OF war with spain. There
never had been such u war, and the speaker
hoped and believed that there never would be.
Their recognition OF delinquency was "A right,
not u cause Of war. Mr., rurpie also quoted
from the message Lof 1924. which lac called
the great message" declaring the Monroe
doctrine: and compared with IT. the posi-
ton OF. the present Executive. which
showed. he said. rather an anxiety that the
revelation should fail, and that the spanish
Government should be restored. He went on to
compare the strength OF the spanish and reyolu-
tionary armies. The Cubans. no said. had IA. 900
men. trained. Disciplined. armed with tile very
