MIR. OLNEy,s POLICY.
Conservatism Necessary I'm Dealing
with the Spanish Government.

WASHINGTON, Feb 25.-Inauiry dis
closes the fact that nothing that has oc-
Cured in Cuba recently and no clamor that
has been raised over the reported intention
of Consul General Lee to resign has af-
fected in any degree the policy the ad-
minstration has LAID down for its guidance.
The officials OF the State Department insist
that their record is clear on the point at
present involved, namely. the efforts made
to extend legal protection TO American cit
izens in Cuba. The treatment of cases aris-
ing from the arrest of such citizens in the
course OF hostilities it is explained is
most difficult task and one requiring deli
cate touch TO insure that any claim made
by Hle State Department shall be based on
such statement of facts as will not be sub
ject to Impeachment. The officials feel that
they have done this without losing sight of
the rights OF any American citizen who
has been imprisoned, and they say that
when the administration OF the affairs of
state passes into other hands. If the law is
TO be observed. there will be no opportunity
10 do more than has already been done TO
safeguard our citizens. Where a person
claiming to be American citizen has
resided for years In Cuba and made that his
place of business, where he has failed TO
register at the consulate general and where
there is radical doubt as to the very fact
of his naturalization 10 begin with. II is
plain so the officials say. that the depart
ment would make a grevious mistake and
one that might bear evil fruit for other
prisoners by insisting out of hand and
without allowing an opportunity 10 ascer
tain the facts, upon the immediate and un-
conditional release OF the man. In the
ship of the aggrieved person is beyond
question and where there was not reason
able doubt either of his completely in the
insurrection or OF his having been captured

Visitors in the Galleries Carried
Away by the Sensational Utterances
of the Venerable Legislators.
FERVID PLEH BY MR.. DANIEL
WHO ACCUSED MR.. HALE OF BEING
GENERAL WEYLER's ORGAN.
Applause for Mr.. Frye, Who Favored
Senator Sherman's Statement.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The Senate was
stormswept to-day by such passionate de-
bate, such extraordinary demonstrations in
the crowded galleries. and such dramatic
personal exchanges between the conspicu-
Gus figures of the Senate, to make the
day one OF the most memorable in the an
nails of the upper branch of Congress. Cuba
was the theme and seemed to stir all the
pent-up emotions of months. 1t brought
about the complete displacement of appro-
priation bills threatening their failure and
the advancement of the Cuban question to
the very front of Senate business. 1t dis
closed, also. that the resolution demanding
OF Spain the immediate and unconditional
release of Julio Sanguilly. having on test
vote secured the right of way, would be
resisted by protracted debate. The Allen
resolution for sending battle ships to Cuba
came up soon after the Senate opened at
Spain for cruelties against women and chill
dren. Mr.. Morgan, who reported the reso-
luton for the immediate release of San
gully, followed in calm speech, reciting
the breach of treaty rights in Sangully' $
case. Mr.. Daniel, in fervid plea for San
gully, stirred all the latent passion of the
Senate. lie spoke of Spanish outrages to
American citizens, and insults to American
officials. When Mr.. Hale sought to inter-
ject questions, Mr.. Daniel suggestvely
stated that he would yield in due time,
whether it be TO the organ of the captain
general of Cuba, or of the Queen of Spain,
or of any one else. In view of Mr.. Hale's
attitude on the Cuban question the mean
ing was unmistakable. Personal feeling
was quieted, however, by mutual explana-
tions. This was followed by a series of
explosive incidents, eliminating with q
ringing declaration by Mr.. Frye that il he
had his way war ship would start forth
with for Havana This sent thrill through
the crowded galleries, which broke into
long continued and vociferous applause
which the Vice President tried vainly to
restrain. Mr.. Mills exultingly declared that
the galleries were filed with American
citizens who had a right to express their
feeling. Speeches followed In quick sue
cession from Mr.. Lodge, Mr.. Teller, Mr..
White and Mr.. Sherman. The latter earn
estly supported the resolution. With the
Cuban resolution placed directly before the
Senate on q vote, Mr.. White took the floor
in opposition, speaking throughout the aft
ernoon. At o'clock the Senate took a re-
cess until p. m. for q continuance of the
contest.

ONE OF THE JUNTo.s FRIENDS.
MIR. SuIyer Wants the House to De.
clare War with Spain.

WASHINGTON. Feb 25-Representative
Sulzer, of New York, to-day introduced a
bill which provides that war be declared
to exist between the kingdom of Spain and
her colonies and the United States of Amer
lea and their Territories. and that the Pres
ident is authorized TO use the whole land

carry the same into effect and to issue to

Department not hitherto communicated to
Congress in regard to the Imprisonment of
American citizens by Spanish officials In the
Island of Cuba"
The committee was considerably aroused
over the situation in Cuba, and there was
no opposition whatever to the adoption of
the resolution. The other resolutions for

adopted by the committee and presented to
the House, did not contain the clause IF
not incompatible with the public interests. -
which makes ii optional with the President
whether or not he gives the House the de-
sired correspondence. The case of Gen.
Julio Sanguilly was also mentioned in the
committee. It was urged that the House
should take immediate action on the line

on foreign relations to secure the release
of Sanguily. Chairman Hit spoke diplo-
