AGAINST giving names and places of our
consuls was that it might cut off our
source of Information"
"Will the edited report, coming from
the state department to the senate con-
tain the names?" asked Mr.. White,
Yes, every scrap" answered Mr..
Foraker, ''but l understand it will be
submitted in confidence, to be consider
ed In executive session."
Mr.. Hoar pointed out that It was
usual to withhold the names of con-
suls when the disclosure might result in
demand for their recall.
II am one of those senators who want
an early vote on this resolution" Mr..
Hoar went on. 'I am especially de-
sirous of getting it out of the way. be-
cause there is other important busi-
ness, ripe and ready, for which this
special session of congress was called,
and for which the business and the la
Dor of the country are anXiously await
Ing"
Mr.. Hoar stated as an evidence of his
sincerity for an early vote that he had
in his pockets the notes for speech
which he had not delivered because he
hoped the vote would be taken. He
hoped that the friends of the resolution
would propose a time for a vote, and
he hoped they would not call names
when they submitted the request.
Mr.. Gallinger spoke of the probable
conflict between the tariff bill and the
Cuban resolution. The tariff bill was
to be taken up last week, then this
week and next week.
The Cuban resolution had been here
forty-nine days but senator's, bound by
musty old rules, were not ready to
vote. With the tariff bill coming up
on Monday, he felt that it was mad
visable to adjourn tomorrow for a
pleasure trip to Virginia. He felt that
the senate should remain here and dis
pose of the Cuban resolution, so that 1t
could not come in to delay the tariff
bill
The motion of Mr. Chandler, that
when the senate adjourns tomorrow it
be until Monday, prevailed without di-
vision, Mr. Gallinger answering in the
negative. Mr. Cannon, silver republi-
can, of Utah, was then recognized for a
speech.
After an intense denunciation of the
mad dog Weyler, Mr.. Cannon recall
ed a sentiment written by a senator
under picture he had seen of the Re
deemer in New York, 'Oh, Christ, come
back; the money changers are in the
temple and said that was what he
thought when he heard the speeches
ba ioi INT ip ha
senate. Putting sarcastic stress on the
quoted words, he declared, THE money
changers are in the temple of human
liberty" If this nation could not stand
alone without the help of the monarch
les of Europe, if it could not survive
without sacrificing manhood for the
sake of securing investments of foreign
capital, it had come to doddering old
age, and God would blot it out as He
had other failures. The country need
ed not so much tariff bill or currency
reform as it did greater unity. Moth
ing would so unite the country as a
declaration that monarchy should not
oppress the neighboring countries.
His only objection to the resolution
was that it did not go far enough; the
oliilCu olalCo SllOulu tSldullSIl d pIO-
tectorate over Cuba and hold it until
the island was able to govern itself.
The message which the senator from
Massachusetts would send to the Amer
leans In Cuba was: Endure, o suffer-
ing ones, even death, and we will COL
lect damages from Spain for your es-
tate after you are gone. You ask for
bread, for liberty, and we will give you
a lawsuit against a bankrupt mon
archy"
Mr.. Lindsay followed Mr.. Cannon.
He believed, he said, that the United
States should have recognized the bel
ligerency Of the revolutionists a year
ago.
There was much interest manifested
when Mr.. Foraker of Ohio arose to
speak.
Il want to say at the outset" he an
nounced, that 1 will vote for this res
olution, or some resolution like it,
In adopting the resolution, the senate
would act strictly in accordance with
international law. There could be no
question of recognizing the independ-
ence of Cuba because no one claimed
that independence existed Interven-
ton was also out of the question, Mr.
Foraker declared, for reasons which he
| proceeded to explain. The explanation,
being an announcement of a fact hith-
erto unknown, created a sensation He
said: I'm spite Of the limitations which
are imposed upon me, 1 feel at liberty
to state that mediation has been ten
dered by this government, and has been
rejected by Spain. AS long ago as April
II, 1886, Secretary Olney addressed a
note to the Spanish government
| through its minister resident in Wash
ington a communication, which l hold
in my hand. of considerable length, Of
very great ability, in which he pointed
out the then condition of affairs in
Cuba, and certain practices which it
was desirable should cease, and offered
the good Offices Of the United States to
bring about settlement such as could
be made consistently with the dignity
and honor of Spain"
Mr.. Foraker read u sentence from
Spain's reply to the proposition, as fol-
lows: There is no effectual way to
pacify the Cubans, except upon the con-
| dition that they first submit to the
mother country"
That, he said, was the end of this
country's effort at mediation. The rec
ord shows he continued that +ha r,,,r
