we loosened the dogs. and they darted on
on a trail, yelping as they went. We didn't
know whether 1t was man or varmint, but
after long run the dogs brought up a,

Well. sir. an old fox had deliberately

Mr.. German said he resented the sugges-

swered Mr.. German.
The senate: said he shared in the anxiety
of the great commercial interests of the
seaboard, but there could be no yielding to
these interests when lives Of American
citizens were in danger. This danger was
enough to warrant the sending of a war
ship TO Cuba. Mr.. German closed with the
statement that he did not believe the pass

United States In war with Spain.
