presidents he set at
naught. He threw traditions of reverence
for the usages of the body to the winds. He
is a master of pathos, and his wit is as keen
as razor. He did not hesitate to hold up to
ridicule by ready repartee any of the most
staid and elderly Senator'S who interrupted
him with questions. His thrusts drew blood
from his antagonists and laughter from the
galleries.
Some passages of his speech were so vche.
ment as to raise the enthusiasm of the crowd to
a frenzy, and time aud again the presiding Off
Ger threatened to have the galleries cleared :;
for it should be known that the listener in the
Senate is expected to sit mute, and it is grave
offense to express appreciation or displeasure.
Mr. Mason brought out all the barbarities Of
SPAIN and when Senator Wellington, of Mary
land, sneered at his quoting newspaper corre-
spondent as au thority he retorted: When the
insurpent is surrounded by the Spaniard, who
sells his daughter and murders his boy when
American correspondents of the newspapers go
into the forests to find the news, and when the
Spanard covers every port OF entry on the
island of Cuba, we should, in the name of human
ity. take the best We can get and be satisfied
with it. Even if this account should overstate
the facts; il it be not true that the Cubans
have an election; if it be not true that they
have Capital, We do know that the wealth of
a Nation is not measured by the Capitol dome;
that the wealth Of humanity is not measured
by money in the banks orimiles of railroad. If
poor, struggling Cuba to- day holds her Capital
under the trees, with nothing but God and the
stars for a shelter, am for that Government
lust the same" Once more there were en-
phatic manifestations of applause in the gal.
Ieries. nd ,
All day long the battle, Of the orator ragged.
Wellington, Hoar and Halo fired the guns for
Spain, and Mason and Gallinger. of New Hamp-
shire, stood to arms for Cuba
Mr.. Mason's final words were as follows:
"Mr. President no one wants war, but if to
keep our promises with Cuba and protect her
means war, let it come. If to protest against
the butchery of women and children means
war; let it come. II to- defend the honest
daughters of brave patriots means an insult to
Spain and war, in the name OF God let it come.
and come quickly for tell you, whether we
speak or not, the civilization Of the Nazarene
is upon US; whether you sleep bound hand and
foot by the rules Of order, or whether you shall
speak like American brave men, the march of
the Nazarene is upon us; liberty shall prevail,
and the island of Cuba, under the providence
of God, shall be Free"
The second day Of the forensic combat only
deepened the public interest. and crowds
pressed into the Capitol to listen and applaud
for Cuba, in spite Of all rules to the contrary.
1t was a noticeable circumstances that all the
plaudits were for the friends of the Cuban cause.
Poor Senator Hoar, who bore the brunt of the
battle for Spain, elected no sympathy, and in.

WHEN we were settling up with the
men who lent the Government money
there was no question as to how much
there was in the Treasury, but only as to
how much was owing them. When this
was determined, then money enough was
pus in the Treasury to pay them to the
very last cent Of their claims. Why are
not the veterans entitled to the same
Treatment as TIE bondholders?

WTTn the discharge of the company
of Apaches at Fort Sill at the close of
this month ends the effort to make Regu-
lar soldiers out of Indians. Itwas pet
scheme of Secretary Proctor, but it has
failed. The Indian while good scout
soon tired of Army discipline. He
wanted his women and children with
him, to say nothing of bis dogs, and he
was constantly torn in spirit between his
allegiance TO bis tribal chief and his
officers. Soldering was too much like
work for him, and he will soon be only a
troublesome recollection in tie Army.

AS TO Pinar del Rio, let me read ron letter
had few days ago from Maj. Perez Morales:
Pinar del Rio is in excellent condition.
There are 5000 Cubans. well armed and ammu-
nitioned, already accustomed to war. III Cuba
does not triumph soon, / can you that
while Spain resists she will have war in Pinar
del Rio. If she resists 20 years she will have
20 years of war. All Spain cannot pacify that
Province
The war in the PHILIPPINE Islands is also
helping US a great deal. for as late as April g.
two months after Spain declared it pacifed-
the Spanish Generals were demanding reinforce
ments.
" From the Spanish papers themselves we get
proof OF war enough. and of the SO called farce
of the paci6cation of Gen. Weyler"
As this point Mr.. Quesada showed Us copy
of 81 COrreo liberal newspaper of Madrid,
which he had just received. aud read. trans
lating as he went, as follows: According to the
organization of the army in Cuba, as made by
Gen. Weyler in the middle of April. lie has.
besides guerrillas. militia, and other forces.
Ill battalions of infantry, 80 squadrons of
cavalry, and - batteries of artillery. And
now comes the curious fact the island is
divided into two halves for the purpose of
paci6caton. The western is considered paci.
fed, the eastern III war. Now it appears that
the army is distributed in the following manner:
In the easteEu part there % battalions of ill.,
fantry. nine squadrons of cavalry, and three
and a half batteries of artillery; in the west
ern part. the paci6ed ono. there are 80 bat.

troops as where the war continues"

The third day OF the Senate debate was the
same as that On which the House took up the
food resolution, SO both ends Of the Capitol
were jammed with thousands of people, and so
far as could be judged all were still ardent
Cuban partisans The Senate discussion closed
with long and earnest appeal for Cuba by Mr..
Thurston. OF Nebraska, one Of the most elo-
qnent men in tho body, and tersc declaration
by Dir. German, of Maryland, which was
surprise. No one ever knows how to take tho
astute Senator from Maryland in advance. He
is the smooth-shaven mystery Of every battle.

with Wellington, who is for Spain. The unc-
tious Elkins, Of West Virginia, put in q word
for Spain, as did White. of California, and the
battle was over, except the roll-call, which
gave Cuba Al to IA for Spain.
The resolution now goes to the House, but it
will not be taken up in all probability, for sew
eral weeks.
THE POLICY OF THE PRESIDENT.
The policy of the Administration toward
Cuba and Spain is naturally the subject of
grave discussion. So much depends upon what
the President may do that all eyes turn in
stinctiveIy to the White House.
We are able to speak with little reserve on
this subject, and upon an authority that need
not be questioned. What follows may be under
stood as rejecting very closely the views of
those in close touch with the Executive. From
this source it is declared that the policy of Mr.
Cleveland toward Cuba has been reversed in
every vital particular. While Mr. Cleveland
was friendly to Spain and her cause Mr.. Nc
Kinley is favorable to Cuba and the objects
sought to be realized by the patriots, and has
manifested it in every legitimate and legal way

TROUBLE IN MADRID.

TROUBLE IN MADRID.
The cables disclose crisis in Madrid Can
ovas, it is believed, will be forced out of the
Office of Premier, and will be succeeded by
Sagasta, the Liberal leader. Feeling ran so
high in the Spanish Senate as to lead to a isti-
cuff encounter. in which the Duke of Tetuan,
Minister of Foreign Affairs. was the assailant. a
duel was talked of and ended in talk Tetuan
resigned, but Canovas refused to accept the
resignation.
The Spanish budget has been brought for
ward. and shows desperate condition of things
1t is proposed to again try and mortgage the
African quicksilver mines and secure loan of
S2O,0000O0, and to sell monopoly to deal in
PETROLEUM, and also explosives, to raise more
funds. In the meantime the army in Cuba
has not been paid for seven months and paper
money in Havana has fallen to 10 cents OH the
dollar. There is again great dissatisfaction on
tine tremendous loss OF life in the army by dis
ease incident to the setting in of the rainy
season in Cuba, where yellow fever and small
pox is raging in the garrisons of unaccliniated
and poorly provisioned men.

At the Metropolitan Theater this
evening Manager Hall will present the
full Alcazar Company in Francis Pow
ers' Chinese drama, THE First Born.
This is the little play that had the I'M
precedented run of ten weeks this sum-
mer at the AlcaZar Theater, San Fran
cisco. 1t would have run still longer
but the management deemed 1t wise to
take it to the East and on the road.
The play is phenomenal in all respects.
1t is a glimpse of Chinese life from the
Chinese point of view. Its characters
are nearly all Chinese. These we see
and hear as Chinese see and hear them.
We are given the style of Chinese con-
Versations and their estimate of Amer
leans and our civilization. They are
shown to US as moved by the same emo
tions and passions as actuated by i'm
pulses, loves and hates that operate
upon others But the results are not by
any means the same. The story is
pitiful and romantic one. It is intense
in its passion, romantic in recital and
the interest lags never d moment. The
music, costumes and scenery are all
characteristic. George Osbourne, Hugo
