said as a republican he demanded to know

In reply Mr. Hale said he did not pretend

future action "But do believe that ii the
motion of the senator from Minnesota

Mr.. Hawley, of Connecticut. introduced
and asked immediate consideration of the
following resolution:
Hawley's Coal Resolution
Resolved, That the president is hereby
authorized in his discretion and with such
limitations and exceptions as shall seem
to him expedient, to prohibit the export of
coal or other material used in war from
any seaport of the United States not other
wise ordered by congress-"
Mr.. Cockrell, of Missouri, asked what the
effect1of such a resolution would be.
Mr.. pHoar remarked that 1t would put
stop to the export of coal and prohibit
that going to Spanish ships which was of
more value to them than powder.
Mr.. Pettus. of Alabama, said that such
a procedure was against law and he
thought that so radical a measure must be
ordered by congress and that congress
should not invest the power in the hands
of the president
Mr.. Hoar realizing the force of the OBJ
lection, changed the resolution into bill,
but it went over upon an objection of Mr..
German, of Maryland.
Mr.. Bate, of Tennessee, addressed the
senate for fifteen minutes in a speech urg-
ing the recognition of the present Cuban
government as Independent and said that
he would support the minority amendment
Mr.. Pasco spoke In favor of recognition
of the independence of the Cuban republic.
Should Join Gomez
He believed too, that when cur troops
were landed in Cuba they ought to act In
concert with the forces under General
Gomez.
The other senator from Florida, Mr.. Mall
lory, said none desired war, if the calamity
could be averted and he regretted that the
president had suspended diplomatic negoti-
ations, for through them war might have
been averted.
| Mr.. Faulkner of West Virginia thought
only one of two courses was open to TINS
| country. either to submit to the indignities,
| insults and crimes of Spain or that the
| American congress should take such ac-
| tion as would remove every doubt about our
| intention. The mailed hand of oppression
must be lifted from the emaciated Shout
| ders of Cuba.
! Mr.. Pettus of Alabama attacked the
house resolution as being unconstitutional.
| He insisted that congress had the right TO
| declare war, and said that the president
was in his high office to execute the man
| dates of congress. He bitterly arraigned
the presidents senatorial advisers, saying

from Cuban military commanders, showing
the high patriotism which actuated them in
their struggle for liberty -
Mr.. Elkins of West Virginia said tsywas
plain war was inevitable and could not be
avoided. He thought the resolution as pre-
sented by the committee ought to. be
amended SO to provide that the recogni-
ton should be given by the president-the
only party that could give it.
should Take Cuba
Mr.. Elkins declared that the United
States ought to take Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippine islands in order that we
might have some compensation for an
enormous war debt. If afterwards It was
desired to give the Cubans their independ-
ence, he was willing, as he had always
been, that they should have IT.
In conclusion, Mr. Ellxins paid high trib-
ute to the president
Mr.. CLAW. of Georgia, said he was anxious
to see the question adjusted without war
for the people of the south did not want
war: but as war was now inevitable he
believed in making it upon the best resolu-
lions offered Those, he Thought were
the ones submitted by the minority.
Mr.. Pritchard, of North Carolina, con-
tented himself with announcing, after a
brief eulogy of the president, that he would
support the house resolution.
Mr. Perkins, of California announced HIM
ence of the republic of Cuba
Mr. Thurston, of Nebraska, who followed
him declared his intention to vote to rec
ognize the republic of Cuba.
He Was an American Citizen
Mr. Thurston said he was a republican
and had been urged by every republican
influence to vote against the INDEPENDENCE
resolution because 1t was of democratic
origin, But in this matter he was more
than a republican. He was an American
citizen.
Mr.. Morgan, of Alabama. defined his posi-
ton, briefly giving his reasons for declin-
ing to concur in the minority resolution
to recognize the independence of the re-
public. His position was not misunder
stood by the Cuban people, His views
had been submitted to President Palma and
were concurred in by him. He said We
should not recognize the independence
without a stipulation which would pre- mt
the possibility of General Gomez making
a treaty with Spain that would leave US in
the lurch.
After Mr. Kennoy, of Delaware, had
stated his position, in favor of indepen-
dence, the debate came to an abrupt close
Senator Hale and several other senators
who were scheduled to present their views
refrained When the bell rang for vote
at 1880 p. m. there was a great stir in the
senate and In the galleries. Senators came
trooping from the cloak rooms and the
spectators, many of whom had been In the
galleries for twelve hours, leaned over i'm
patiently. The first vote was taken upon
the amendment of the minority of the for
eign relations committee, which provided
for the recognition by the United States
of the Republic of Cuba as the true and
lawful government of that island" 5..sf
1t was adopted, 81 to ST.
Mr. Davis then offered an amendment
as an additional section, as follows: sil

PROF. PHILLIPS FOR BELLIGERENCY

Many of Birmingham's most prominent
erency of the Cubans by the United States
government, and the ultimate recognition
Of the Cuban republic,
1t is the concensus of opinion that the
time has come for action of some kind in
order to stop the cruel warfare that is be-
Ing waged against the brave insurgents
that have SO tenaciously struggled during
the past three years for freedom from the
Spanish yoke.
There are many who believe that the
Maine disaster should be made the casus
belli, especially since Fitzhugh Lee has ex-
pressed the opinion that the ship was
blown up by officers of the Spanish gov
eminent.
Below is given few expressions of
opinions gathered by The Age-Herald re-
porters on their rounds yesterday:
DIR. j. II. Phillips
DR.. ]. H. Phillips-First of all I am in
favor of recognizing the belligerency OF
Cuba. To recognize her independence would
be out of the question. Before this can
be done two facts must be clear: Are the
Cubans de facto Independent, and have
they proved themselves able to maintain
International relations with other inde-
pendent powers? Cuban independence is
a question of fact. Intervention involves
some difficulties. For this government to
step in and ask Spain to stop war in its
own territory maintained by the sympathy
and material aid of our own people, IT
must show moral grounds. Besides, ac-
cording to international law, intervention
will take from us the power of complaint

There was some confusion, but no DEM
onstration.
The title and preamble of the senate reso-
lutions were then substituted for the house
title and preamble without division.
Mr.. Davis moved that the senate should
insist upon its amendments and ask for d
conference. This request was met with
cries of mo. no." and 1t was soon made
manifest that many senators considered
tina there was a possibility that the house
would concur with the senate resolution
If this motion were not entered in the sem
ate.
Upon this suggestion Mr.. Davis withdrew
and entered in its stead a motion to adj
journ, which was passed.

final reading or the resolutions as amenoeo
was begun.
Immediately afterward came the ques-
ton: Shall the resolution pass?'
There was a general demand for yea and
nay vote on the question and rol call
was ordered. Amidst profound calm it
proceeded. Not a single pair was an
nounced. All the senators with the one ex-
ception of Mr.. Walthall, were present, and
he had released Mr.. Spooner from his en-
gagement to pair with him.
The roll call resulted in the passage of

Aldrich,s Significant Statement

Mr. Aldrfch of Rhode Island SAID that
while he could not vote for resolution
embodying recognition of independence, he
believed that in some way, somehow, res
olution would within forty-eight hours be
presented which would be satisfactory to
the president, congress and the people.
In reply to Mr.. Aldricff and to others who
had just spoken Mr.. Jones, of Arkansas,
declared that it was the wish of large
majority of congress and the people that
the resolution should recognize the Cuban
republics independence, and the results up
to the present time fully justified the
friends of independence in assuming the
position they had taken The president
had disappointed the people by not saying
he intended the independence of Cuba.
The vote on Mr.. Davis motion to strike
out all after the resolving clause of the
house resolution and insert the senate res
olutions as amended was carried by vote
of 60 to g..

He said: "I pledge myself to forget that

Spanish or otherwise, will receive from him

treatment of an American president"

against Spain for damage to our commerce
and will make the United States liable for
the payment of the Cuban bonds, held by
citizens Of England and France. Recogni-
ton of belligerency is the first step, and
intervention afterwards, IL this govern
ment has the moral grounds and is willing
to accept the consequences. 1 think it
has just grounds for Intervention, but the
expediency of accepting the results is ques-
tionable

Walker Percy

Walker Percy-I am of the opinion that
the United States government should de-
mand the withdrawal of Spanish sovereign
ty from the island of Cuba and Porto Rico.
That this demand should be peremptory
and should be enforced by the of our
army and navy. The independence of Cuba
should be insisted upon In plain and unms-
taxable terms. 1 think it more important
that the Cubans people should be indie
pendent than that the present Cuban gov
eminent should be recognized.

Col. j. j. Altman

Colonel ]. j. Altman-I believe in the
recognition of the independence of Cuba,
Immediately followed by armed interven-
tion. This step should be taken on the
grounds Of common humanity, and not from
the mere blowing up of battleship. 1 be-
lieve that this matter could have been set
tied some time ago without war, but this
country has pursued such a vacillating
policy that Spain has grown to believe that
we are afraid Of her.
