NEW LIFE IN CUBAN DEBATE
MR.. MORRILL, SPEAKS AGAINST THE

ATE TO WAIT FOR FURTHER
INF0PMATION
fBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE

fBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrBUyE.l
Washington, May 1.-THE debate on Mr.. Nor
gar's Cuban resolution, perfunctory and mori'
bund for the last three or four weeks. took on
a vigor and interest to-day which were as
grateful as they were unexpected. Mr. Morrill,
OF Vermont. who seldom ventures into other
fields than those OF fiscal and National poicy'
is perhaps to be credited with infusing new
vitality into the Cuban discussion. In speech
marked by his customary audaclty and feilcity
OF phrase he ventured this afternoon on gen.
eral assault on the present tendency TO enlarge
the scope OF Congressional influence in the man
agement OF foreign relations
The recognition OF belligerency. Mr.. Morrill,
argued was a purely Executive function. which
Congress was wrong in trying TO usurp and
appropriate. The venerable Vermont Senator
also shot some Of the arrows OF his ridicule at
the revisers and amenders Of the Monroe Doc
trine, who had sought two winters ago 10 enact
by resolution a new version OF established
American policy In the Western Continent.
Mr. Foraker who has just become a member
OF the Foreign Relations Committee. made an
important contribution to the debate In
speech supposed TO represent the views OF the
Administration. He advocated deferrtng action
until further information could be secured from
the State Department.
Mr. Lodge Mr. Mills and other Senators took
part In the discussion. which was finally dropped
without action on the motion TO refer the Nor
gan resolution 20 the Committee on Foreign
Relations. From the tenor OF to-day's speeches
II seems likely that such a motion will prevail
II the Senate ever reaches the point OF dividing

WAR PREPARATIONS By TURKEY

ORDERS To MOBILIZE TROOPS CAUSE ANXIETY
WHAT 30 THEY MEAN?
London. May IA dispatch to The S'aho-
ard" from Constantnople says:
1T is reported that orders have been sent OUT
for the mobilization Of the Fifth and sixth Army
Corps Reserves stationed at Bagdad and IN
SYRIA. and for the immediate dispatch OF MY
battalions to Konieh, from which point they VIII
be taken to Ismeed. in Asia Minor.
These preparations which involve an eH-
pense that Turkey is quite unable to bear. can
not be required against Greece; and they excite
anxiety as indicating that Turkey is preparing
either 10 confront more formidable FOE or 10
nlace herself in such strong position that she
will be able to ignore the Powers and their plan
Of mediation.
"Three staff officers have been sent to the
depots of the Fourth Army Corps at ErZeroum
and Erzingen to report whether there is a suf-
fcient supply Of arms and equipments to mobilize
the reserves Of that CORPS.
"Siy officers of the Turkish troops stationed at
Janipa together with the commandants at Lou
ros' Philippiada and other stations. have arrived
here in chains. They will be tried for neglect
or duty in the face of the enemy

AN ADVANCE IN TEA.

HIGHER RATES IN ANTICIPATION OF THE PRO-
POSED DUTY.
The prIce OF tea OF all grades has been advanced
from three TO five cents pound In the last few
DAYS. in anticipation of the proposed duty OF ten
cents a pound importers became
aware OF the proposed duty they cabled heavy
orders to Japan and China hoping to have them
Allied In time TO evade the new duty They say
that II they had known of the contemplated change
earlier they could have secured enough stock TO
sipply the market till 1900 when tea will be free OF
duty again. The quantity OF tea annually con-
slmed in this country Is about one hundred million
pounds which at the proposed rate OF duty would
Weld yearly revenue of 100000. The market.
which has been duh until recently. is now active,
and a further advance Is expected.
