In the Senate, today, Morgan, Dem
Ala, entered upon the fourth day OF
his speech on the resolution declaring
that a state of war existed in Cuba
The senator asserted that the course OF
events led to the belief that our gov
ornment was more in sympathy with
this ancient Bourbon dynasty than
With our own people. He feared the
American people could not be held in
check much longer but that they woul
cross the Gulf of Mexico. as the Greeks
we're crossing the Mediterranean sea

Turks and Spaniards were capable OF
inflictlng.

which had the right of way gave way
temporarily to allow Morgan to con-
Clude his speech. He said in this con-
nection that he had spoken for -four
days at great personal discomfort t.
himself and possibly to the disgust Of
come senators, ard yet he regarded 1t
Gs a duty to lay before the Senate and
the country the substantial grounds
fur the recognition of a state of war In
Cuba.
Proceeding. Morgan said that Spain
was alarmed by the recent vote in the
Senate. and had granted beIligerent
rights to General Ruiz Rivera. Follow
ing this, Minister Dupuy De Lone had
stated that the conduct of Spain toward
General Rivera would depend largely
on the suppression of filibustering,
Had it come to this. then, asked Nor
gan. that Rivera was to be held as a
hostile for our Well-doing?
Morgan closed shortly before o'clock.
lie stated that he would cali up the reso-
iUtion. tomorrow, as other senators de-
sired to speak on ii and he hoped to be
able to secure a vote on the question at
an early day. In conclusion, Morgan said
he was confident that Cuba would win her
freedom. for that glorious end was writ
ten in the stars.
Consideration OF the bankruptcy bin
was resumed. Lindsay Of Kentucky
sToke in f@vor of the bill, answering the
criticisms Of Nelson OF Minnesota. The
Kentucky senator denied that the com
mittee bin was in the interest of the
creditor class and asserted that it was
designed for the relief of unfortunate
debtors.
At ii5 z. NJ, the Senate went into exc
cutivc session and soon after adjourned.
