plea for demand for an unconditional
surrender of our campatriOt back to us
from the brutal tyranny which is the
curse of Spain and the disgrace of
civilization.
Mr.. Lodge spoke of the influence of
business interests against Cuban ac-
ton. He believed the best thing for
business would be decisive action and
an end to this conflict. But the pre-
vailing influences were otherwise We
have decided, he said, at the White
house and the capitol. 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 protect an American citi-
zen, we are to be arraigned as a par
eel of jingoes who want to plunge
the country into war. I have no de-
l do desire that every American citl-
zen shall have the fullest protection
of the American government"
Mr.. Teller now took the floor for a
brief but passionate speech favoring
the resolution. This technical quibble
over the naturalization was without
parallel, he began. The facts were
ample to require immediate action. Such
action might be futile. The senate had
passed a resolution as to Greece, and the
secretary of state had refused to trans
nit it to Greece. "It is a part of the
pusillanimous conduct of the state de-
partment during the last two years.
exclaimed Mr.. Teller. He did not ex-
pect much more from the next admins
tration; but he added with intense
feeling, II thank God that this admins
tration Is soon to go out Of power. I
would not count dollars beside Ameri-
can citizenship. I would make every
power in the world respect American
citizenship if 1T took all the men and
all the power this country has"
There was a stir in the galleries
which threatened another outbreak as
Mr.. Teller closed.
Mr.. Allen then made a stroke which
| added new surprise to the situation
He moved to lay aside the Indian bill,
which was technically before the SEN
| ate, and proceed with the Sanguilly
resolution. He did so, he said to make
a direct issue between the protection of
American citizens on one hand, and the
! appropriation bills on the other.
