Morgan said the Senate had twice
passed the Cuban belligerency resolu-
ton substantially as ii was now Of
fered but both times it had been done
openly and frankly. I'VE have no
right said he, Ito make a declaration
of war against Spain under cover. II
this amendment We're attached 10 the
appropriation bill, Spain might well re-
gard it as a cause of war. AS l have
before indicated, the conditions and sit
uation in Cuba were entirely different
when this resolution was passed by the
Senate
He asserted that between 100000 and
GOO coo people had been starved to
death in Cuba This awful condition
of affairs said Morgan. makes our
position in the Cuban matter extreme
ly delicate Intervention now of the
kind proposed a year ago means war.
II could mean nothing else. An inter-
vention on the part of this Government
in the present critical condition of af-
fairs would almost certainly be regard
ed by Spain as a cause of war.
II almost dread to refer to the con-
ditions and circumstances which have
been brought about by the events or
the past ten days. In the present cir
cumstances it would not be consistent
with the feelings or characteristic Of
The sentiments of the American people
20 40 anything that would in any way
aggravate the situation which has been
brought about by the events leading
up to the inquiry now in progress at
Havana.
IF, however, any Senator believed
in a declaration of war, and viii draw
up such a declaration, with sufficient
and proper grounds upon which to base
it, / Will vote for il"
At this point Allen interrupted Nor
gan to disclaim any intention of max
ing a declaration of war against Spain.
He expressed the opinion that his
amendment could in no way be con-
strued into such a declaration.
IF we should put this amendment on
the pending appropriation BILL replied
Morgan, Spain would be fully justified
in interpreting our meaning to be that
we We're extensively Interfering in her
affairs. However. / do not believe that
any Senator has in mind a declaration
of war. 1t would not overtax the abii-
ity of any man to prepare such dec
laration with proper and sufficient
grounds upon which to base it. l Will
not. however, vote for any declaration
of war IN disguise The Spanish are
a great and powerful and proud people,
and they believe that their course is
right l do not wish to provoke them
to declaration of war. / have always
believed, and believe now, that the war
in Cuba could not have beeen termin-
ated without involving the United
states in hostilities / believe that the
matter. will be eventually submitted to
the arbitrament of the sword. The
whole world recognizes Spain's inability
to conquer the Cubans, and sooner or
later we shall become, in my opinion,
involved in the armed controversy.

MORGAN SOUNDS A
Note OF WARNING,

Ing the war now in progress in Gu
ba have been practiced toward the in
habitants of Cuba, and what can be law
fully done by the United States. If any
| thing, TO ameliorate the conditions.
To these ends and for these pur-
poses, saiG committee may sit at such
times and places as they may see
proper during the sessions Of Congress
and N vacation, and shall have the
right 10 visit and take testimony IN
Cuba. if deemed proper to do so. All
testimony taken shall be preserved. and
the finding of said Senatorial commit
tee, together with all testimony. shall
be reduced TO writing and reported 10
the Senate AZ as early a date as prac-
! ticabe
Both the military and the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bills were
passed
Hansbroush attempted to secure
action on the blu to regulate the laws,
of Alaska, but on objection from Tur-'
ner of Washington it went over.
Respecting the belligerency amend-
ment. Allen thought a statement was
due to the country. The amendment.
he said, was practically u copy of two
resolutions which had already passed
tire senate. hSIelTlnS To the unfaNOr-
able report presented ON the amend-
ment by the Foreign Relations COM
mittee, Allen said that it was Il con-
fession and avoidance, and meant sim
ply that the committee did not desire
to act upon it. The truth was. he
said, that Congress was merely finding
some excuse under which il could con-
tinue business and escape censlre. His
desire was to find whether Congress
could in any way be induced, cajoled
or kicked into putting the country in
dignified attitude on the Cuban qlIes-
ton.
Taking UP the main issue involved,
he asserted that he had reliable in
formation that no less than :S3 per cent.
of the Cuban population, or about 500
COO people, had perished in Cuba with
in the past three years as a result of
Spanish cruelty. And yet" said Al
len, lest We, the Senate a body Of
eightynine men. offend the House OF
Representatives. consisting of 3J7 men.
point Of order is to be made against
this amendment. and it will go the way
of very much valuable legislation"
Allen said that If the Republican party
could suffer to see the Cubans eXter-
minated by starvation in plain violation
of It's platform and of the Christian
sentiment of the country. the Republic
cans ought to be willing to face the
question on a yea and nay vote.

WILD RUMORS ARE
WITHOUT FOUNDATION.

Names sections through the maga-
zines and coal-bunker pockets. The
reference to the latter is particularly
interesting, and leads to a desire to be
informed on the exact quantity ana
quality of the coal supply at the time
of the explosion. 1t is said that these
pocket bunkers are rarely empt1ed, De
ing designed as much for the protec-
ton of the ship against gun shots as
for capacity to hold coal. One expert
saws that these bunkers, in his opin-
ion. have not been emptied for months.
All of this has to do with the sponta-
ers abut on the magazines, and might
have set off even the safe brown pow
der. if the latter We're exposed to a
degree of heat above 600 degrees for
some time. The request beside, may
show that Captain Sigsbee is not yet
satisfied as to the cause of the explo-
sion.

the noise. He hastily took a boat and
started for the Maine, arriving there in
about twenty-five minutes. Then all
was quiet and smooth, and, in fact, as
he said in several moments after the
blast the Maine was in about her pres
ent condition.

MOVEMENTS OF WARSHIpS.
The Marblehead Leaves New Or
leans for Key West.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 23-The
United States cruiser Marblehead
weighed anchor at 1915 to-day and
sailed for Key West, where she will
join the North Atlantic squadron at Dry
Tortugas The Marblehead took aboard
small quantity of coal.
An immense crowd assembled on the
river front as the Marblehead pulled up
her mud hooks and steamed half a mile
up the river before turning. AS the yes
sci sped rapidly down the river past the
French and Austrian warships. hun
dreds waved handkerchiefs in farewell,
all the vessels in the harbor footed their
whistles, cannon We're fired from shore
and the foreign ships dipped their flags
The departure of the ship was without
incident and created no stir among the
officers and crew, as her only business
here was to honor the city at carnival
time.
GALVESTON, Feb. 23.-The battle
ship Texas and gunboat Nashville sailed
from Galveston this afternoon. The
Texas goes to rejoin Admiral Sicards 5
fleet, and the Nashville to Key West for
orders. 1t has been reported that the
Nashville would be sent to Havana to
replace the Maine, but if Captain May
nard has any such orders he has given
no hint of it here.
The big 10-inch gun, the first of the
ordnance for the Galveston forti-
fications. is coming through the State
to-day and Will reach Galveston to-
night.
TAMPA, Feb. 23.-The cruiser Mont
gomery arrived here this morning from
Domingo direct, with Chief Crownin-
shield Of the Bureau of Navigation on
board, who at once left for Washington.
Chief Crowninshield refused to say any
thing about his trip or his haste. Cap
tain Converse said he had orders to go
to Key West at once and take on
supply of coal and water The cruiser
will probably sail tomorrow.
