buttons, at time when he was in
yestigating the subject. He intimated
also that the adoption of the resolu-
ton would lead to the withdrawal Of
the Spanish minister and the termina-
ton of diplomatic relations between
Spain and the United States. The SEN
ator said few Americans were impris-
oned in Cuba He had never heard
of a genuine Yankee being among
them. They were all Sanguillys OF
Delgados or Ruizs. Turning to his
associates, he said that no one ever

legged outrages. The senator said the
real motive for the Morgan resolu-
ton was shown in the recent state

other Spanish loan was being nego-

Spain is now on it's last legs imam
cially. Shall we fill up her treasury;
are we charged with supporting and
maintaining the Spanish credit. Is it
our duty to support the armies and
navies of Spain and assist her efforts

more to the oppression of the Spanish
yoke? I think not. But the senator
