words above mentioned be inserted. But
the senate conferees were met with refu-
sal to SO agree, and he reluctantly re-
ported the same to the senate
Mr., Morgan stated that the chairman OF
the foreign relations committee spoke fo-
the majority. For one he had not re-
linuuished the hope that the Cubans might
be free, but thought that under the temper
of the house there was little or no use to
send the conferees again into conference
unless It was indicated that the housc
would recede.
Mr. Cockrell then offered q motion to in
sist upon the senate resolution, whereupon
Mr. Morgan said In a loud voice that lie
had not yielded the republic of Cuba, as q
member of the conference committee.
Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts,, following,
said that it was the understanding that IL
the United States went to war and sent It's
ehips into Cuban waters and It's armies into
Cuban territory, our navy surely would
be under the direction of the Cuban gov
ernment If the senate insisted upon the
Turpie amendment.
Cries of mo. no." were heard all over
the chamber.
Mr.. Mills of Texas said that the house
had turned its back upon the fundamental
principle of the constitution, and the
proper course for the senate now to pursue
was to refuse to grant a further confer
ence with the house conferees.
Mr.. Daniel Of Virginia said the situation.
30 far as the senate was concerned, made
the last stage worse than the first. and he.
for one, was in favor of insisting upon q
disagreement with the house.
Mr.. Mason stated what he conceived to
be the parliamentary status of the pend
ing question. He said that the hope had
been that II the senate would yield the
substance Of independence. the shadow Of
the freedom would be left to us. Mr. Ma .
son then became almost hysterical in his
oratory. He had, he declared, made tho
fight for independence.
He had been forced to yield his convio-
tons this afternoon. and now he was pre-
pared to yield still further. I'VE gave up
our idea." he cried, "but I say to you now
that I capitulate, 1 do not surrender. You
have conquered me, but II God let's me live,
1 give you notice that tomorrow shall
fight for Cuban independence, ana gain It
before quit this sphere Of action"
A strong appeal was then entered by Mr..
White Of California for action Of some
knid that would end the suspense, and end
1t at once.
