became involved in several unpleasant parma
mentary alterations With Messrs. Hale ana
Hoar. and Mr. White Of California, had similar

the speechmaking fell nomnally under the head
of general debate on the Indian Appropriation

THE LETTER FROM sANGUuYS COUNSEL
Some EXPLANATION of the reasons which induced
Sanguilys coun sel 10 withdraw his appeal ana
accent a pardon fIom Spain is given in letter
written to Senator Sherman, chairman or the
Foreign Relations Committee yesterday by j. l.
Rodriguez. counsel for the prisoner From this
it appears that the only legal method of secur-
ing the prisoners discharge speedily was that
adopted by his counsel--namey, Withdrawing
the appeal that had been taken from the sentence
Of the lower court in Cuba. Perhaps the same
result could have been obtained by allowing the
appeal to BE- heard by the court at Madrid. but
this involved a long wait and so long as the APP
peal was pending the Spanish Jaw did rot admit
of a pardon The withdrawal of the appeal was
without prejudice ard does not estop the prisoner
from making a claim TO- indemnity in case he
should decide to do so. In his letter Mr. Rodri-
