STRONG RESOLUTIONS
IN THE SENATE.
Their Introduction Followed by Speeches
by Messrs. Mason, Pettus
and Butler.

Their Introduction Followed by Speeches
by 1Iessrs. Mason, Pettus
and Butler.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-For nearly
three hours the senate had the Cuban
question in its several phases under dis.
cussion. Three resolutions bearing
upon the question were introduced, one
by Mr.. Lindsay (Ky.), directing that
the contemplated operations against the
Spanish in Cuba be in concert with
General Gomez, the supreme command
to be vested in the commander of the
United States forces to the end that the
independence of the Cubans be secured;
second, by Mr.. Wilson Wash. }, direct
ing the president at once to take steps
as will secure to the people Of Cuba an
independent and republican form of
governments third, by Mr.. Allen (Neb.)
declaring the existence of war in Cuba
and directing the president to take steps
to stop 1t and secure to the people Of
the island a stable and independent gov
ernment.
Following the introduction of the res
olution speeches were delivered by Mr..
Pettus Ala.), Mr.. Mason Ills and
Mr.. Butler IN. o.. Judge Pettus pre-
sented an argument that congress could
not delegate to the president the power
to make war, either in general or in a
special cause, and declared that the max
| ing Of any war without an express dec
| laration by congress would be disgrace
to the nation Mr.. Mason's speech was
largely a legal argument in favor of the
recognition of the independence of the
| Cuban republic and was delivered with
characteristic fire and vehemence.
Mr.. Butler spoke for the opposition on
| the floor of the senate, maintaining that
it had thus far upheld the hands of the
administration in the present crisis and
would continue to do so for a definite
and vigorous policy. He regretted that
the president had not presented such q
| policy to congress and held that inter
vention without the recognition of in
dependence would simply mean the
crushing of the Cuban patriots.

delay, spring time has come at last, and
now is the tme for all catarrh sufferers
to begin a systematic course of treat

Guilty in the way of treating chronic
catarrh is that the patient is liable to

delay cure. This liability at this sea-

opportunity to be given treatment.

the premier, on leaving the palace after
his daily visit to the queen regent, in
formed the newspaper representatives
that the government was waiting for

He said also that he considered the
message, so far as it was known to him,
not hostile in tone toward Spain, and
that he would continue desirous OF
peace, for obtaining which the armistice
in Cuba afforded the means.
While the message of the president
is much criticised by the general public
and by a portion of the press as pro
vocative, it is known that the members
of the government and General Wood.

Mrs. Brooke, Wife of Governor
 General in Porto Rico

The arrival in Porto Rico of Mrs. Brooke, the wife of the governor-general,i is an in- teresting social topic in its capital city, San Juan. Mrs. Brooke, with the general, is in- stalled in an aristocratic house which has been the residence of Spanish military au- thorities. The Palace of San Juan it is called is said to be fashioned after Grecian ideals.
 A correspondent writes that it contains more than hundred rooms, built around a central courtyard or patio, where the stables and the kitchens are, well as the great public cistern, feature of all Euro- pean palaces. The great, lofty rooms of this building, f1oored entirely with marble, open out into broad balconies that overhang a garden such only the tropics can pro- duce, a garden walled in with a high wall, black with age, and worn smooth with the touch of aristocartic Spanish fingers. The great throneroom, the reception halls, the parlors and the conseryatories, vacated only so shortly before by the Spanish mili- tary commander, Macias, were devastated of nearly all their valuable furnishings, such as rare bric-a-brac and the royal paintings which hung on the walls, and the whole building was left in a condition of disorder and slovenly neglect. Dirt and filth, especially in the culinary and living apartments, Haunted itself with unblushing forwardness.
 At present, while matters remain in confused ana cnaotlc condition, not only politically but socially, Mrs. Brooke has made definite plans for entertainment. The number of American women in the capital is so limited that there is hardly any incentive. The only well known women here are Mrs. Sheridan, wife of General M V. Sher- iden, and Mrs. De Russy, wife of Colonel Isaac De Russy, of the Eleventh United States infantry; Mrs Root, wife of Major J. H. Root, chief of the engineer corps. Mrs Grant, wife of General Fred Grant, IS now on the way to join her husband ana is expected on the island soon.
 It is the custom in Porto Rican society 10 call upon strangers and new arrivals in community only after the latter have sent word of their arrival and announced their intention of receiving. Up to date the American women have been so busy trying to make comfortable quarters out Of the pest-ridden. dirty and neglected Spanish habitations that they have paid little or no attention to local social etiquette.
 The American woman who attempts to keep house here, confronted as she Is by all manner of inconvenience, is heroine Very little furniture can be purchased, and only light weight cane furniture can be used. It takes an American of extremely even temperament and unusual good na- ture to be happy where poverty and un- cleanliness are the normal condition, and manana is the watchword of existence. It takes a woman of Mrs Brookes character to solve the problem of comfort here.

Nashville Debutantes Like a Hero.

The Nashville American says: The de- butantes pathetically declare their hearts are forever sunk in the alluring blue depths of Lieutenant Hobson's eyes. The dance at the Kappa Alpha charter-house did it. The pretty girls, the music. the smooth floor, all seemed to completely change the reserved hero the public had been applauding al day to the beau-ideal society man, and he danced as only navy officer can dance, and whispered any num- Der of sweet things into willing ears. And now the debutantes look sentimental and listlessly say that after meeting Lieuten- ant Hobson, 1t makes a difference"
 The debutante with whom he danced twice is the envy of her set
 A belle was asked yesterday if she did not think he was very reserved.
 'Well, should say not" she exclaimed.

Maids and Matrons Are
 Busy With Holiday Shopping

The tropical day of yesterday brought out maids and matrons in great numbers, and the streets and shops presented an lh- terestlng scene. The shop windows were quite the delight of the little folks, and it was an inspiration to watch their faces I met at one of the crossings grown up sister, with her arms full of small par cells
 Please she said, wait moment and help me to get on the cars. l cannot even signal for one, for I am afraid to move There were nine in her family to be re- membered. and one of the younger boys had made nine small purchases yesterday and, meeting his sister on the street, had prevailed on her to assist in carrying them home.
 Each member of the family gives the other member a token at Christmas, no matter how small, and many interesting conversations are held just at this time. The grown up sister is the conidant, and she it is who makes both ends meet.
 woman yesterday said as the crowds were hurrying past: q I could have my ideal Christmas I would go back to my old home in the southern part of the state. l would fill the house with company, and
 
 would be hanging near the chimney cor ner."
 She paused, thinking of other days.
 Why not go?" asked some one thought lessly.
 But the story was never finished. She stood, looking quietly along the street, and one could see her heart was full of longing. Thus it is that the holiday season recalls to many happier days of the past and 1t is these frequently upon whom the responsi- bility of Christmastido rests.
 It is not always a joyous time, for when so much is expected of one, the Christmas season becomes so material in its nature that the joyous side is lost sight of. Those who are dependent alone upon their salaries for their livelihood are expected at Christ mas to manage a surplus fund in some way to be expended for holiday gifts, when with the best of management the year round there has been a struggle to keep out of debt at the end of each month, yet at the holiday season one is expected to do more than at any other time. No wonder there are people who dread Christmas. This feel ing Is not one of selfshness or desire to take from the happiness of others. It is a natural feeling that takes possession of those who realize the demands that will be made and the inability to meet them.
 The sacrifices that are made at Christi mastide are pathetic stories in them selves.
