Washington Feb. 27.-The serenity Of
the senate when the session opened
Friday gave little evidence of the ex-
citing scenes of the day before. The
galleries were well filled in anticipation
of a renewal of the hostlities. but busi-
ness soon was directed into routine
channels with the understanding that
the Sanguilly Cuban resolution would
come up as soon as the business was
finished. The Cuban question came be-
fore the senate at o'clock. Frye said
there was no need of wasting powder
to make noise, and urged that the
resolution go to the calendar. Morgan,

information as to the arrest of George
Washington Aguirre in Cuba and it was
agreed to-

then displaced by the Indian appropria-
ton bill on a vote of the senate without
division. Although the Indian bill was
technically before the senate the de-
bate on the Cuban question continued.

not end the matter. There were many
similar cases buried in the secrecy OF
the state department. Diplomacy had
| taken twenty three months In the San
| gully case, while the senate in sim
| gle day had brought the pardon. Call
spoke of the Ruiz case and presented a
resolution calling for information on 1t,
but 1t went over on objection from

| giving all the time possible to appropri-
alton bills in order to get them through.

ing that Hoar could not interfere with
him under the prestige of his fame ano
! position. He eulogiZed Consul Genera
| Lee as a man of courage and honor
In the course of his talk he said tins
only information of Sanguillys pardon
came from newspapers. Nothing was
received from the state department Ht

sired to conceal his policy from the
American people The debate on the
Cuban question was still in progress a.

series of indignities against Sanguilly
He asserted that the queen of Spair
had been driven to granting Sanguilly'

collision which the senate's action woul'
bring. He also said that the pardoi
would bring joy to the president, wh'
had for two years been on his knee
