WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The Senate to-day, by
a vote Of 10 to 81. laid aside the Indian Appro-
priation bill, which had already occupied three
Gays, and took up the joint resolution, which
was reported yesterday from the Committee on
Foreign Relations, demanding the immediate
and unconditional release of Julio Sanguily from
n Cuban fortress. The resolution came up as
part Of the morning business. the Vice President
deciding that under the rule q motion to take up
the Indian bill was not In order until after tho
morning business was disposed Of. He then laid
before the Senate the resolution offered yester.
day BY Mr.. Allen pop, Neb) In regard to the Ill
treatment OF American citizens in Cuba.
Mr.. Allen. in speaking upon his resolution,
denounced Spain az "a docaying monarchy, a
blot on the map of the world. and a disgrace to
civilization"
Mr.. Morgan Dem. Ala.) spoke on the San.
gully resolution. He said that S~anguily was u
regularly naturalized citizen OF the United
States. He had taken part in the last Cuban
revolution. where he had been grievously
wounded. but had always denied any completely
IN the present revolution. Mr.. Morgan declared
that on the trial Of Sanguily In Cuba, In Novem.
Der, 1895, thcro was no evidence duplicating
him and that much OF the evidence was not
sworn to. II would be asked what right had the
United States TO interferei Would II be on the
general ground that there had been u false trial.
IL the case were put on that ground alone, he
held that there would be ample reason In that
for the joint resolution reported yesterday. But
he put the right and duty OF interference on a
higher ground. and that was that all the rights
Of this American citizen, under the treaty, had
been utterly ignored and repudiatcd.
At the close of Mr.. Morgan's remarks Mr.. AL
len consented to have his own resolution re-
ferred to the Committee on Foreign Relations,
with the assurance from Mr.. Morgan that IL
would be promptly considered and acted upon.
The joint resolution as to Sanguily obtained
precedence. and the consideration OF 1t was con.
tinued.
A DISGRACE TO THE AMERICAN FLAG.
Mr.. Daniel Dem, Val, u member OF tho Com.
mittee on Foreign Relations. went over the his.
tory OF the case. Sanguily, he said. was
wounded, sick, and in prison. He had been
treated vigorously, harshly, cruelty, and bru.
tally-in q manner that was n disgrace to this
century and to civilization. Not only that, but
the American Consul had been treated AFRO
gantly by the Spanish authorities not only In
his own person but In his country. He had been
told by a Spanish officer high In authority, to
whom he had made a most polite and courteous
appeal, that his conduct In presenting an inter.
vention in favor OF sanguily. by order of the
State Department. was q disgrace to the United
