INDEPENDENCE FOR CUBA.
The Resolution offered by Senator
Foraker, of Ohio.

The Resolution offered by Senator
Foraker, of Ohio.
Mr.. Foraker Ohio, then introduced a.
resolution declaring for such interven-
tion in the Cuban war as would bring
about the independence of the Cubans.
Senator Foraker's resolution was as
follows:
Be it resolved by the senate and the
house of representatives of the United
States of America:
1. That the people of the island Of Cuba
are, and of right ought to be, free and
independent.
2. That the government of the United
States hereby recognizes the republic of
Cuba as the true and lawful government
OF that island. That the war Spain is wag-
ing against Cuba is so destructive of the
commercial and property interests of the
United States and 50 cruel. barbareus and
inhuman in its character as to make it the
duty of the United States to demand. and
the government OF the United States does
hereby demand, that she at once withdraw
her land and naval forces from Cuba and
Cuban waters.
g. That the president of the United States
be and hereby is authorized, empowered and
directed, to use, If necessary, the entire
land and naval forces of the United States
to carry these resolutions into effect.

Following this came resolution by
Mr.. Frye (Maine), demanding that

Whereas, The war which has been waged

government in violation Of the rules of
driven the unarmed and peaceable inhab
itants from their homes and forced them
within the armed camps where it has permit

and children to die Of starvation; and,
a result of this system of inhuman war
fare, tens of thousands of the helpless
people are now dying for want Of food; and,
Whereas, The war has paralyzed and al
most destroyed the large commercial rela-
tions which have heretofore existed be-
tween the United States and Cuba, and

A NEW PUBLIC BUILDING
One Greatly Needed for the Department of
Justice.
Attorney General GrigEs Says tn
Present Structure is Unsafe
and Inadequate.

President Mckinley's recommendation
that Congress appropriate money for a new
! building for the Department of Justice is
based on the urgent recommendation of
Attorney General Griggs in his annual re-
port, to be made public in a few days The
Attorney General considers the matter Of
sufficient importance TO give considerable
space to il in his report. Some time ago
! he asked Mr.. Taylor. supervising architect
or the treasury, to make an inspection of
the building This WAS done Mr Taylor re-
porting thar the building is overloaded ard
! in several ways unsafe. Attorney General
Griggs viii say that he considers the build
ing unsafe, and Will add that he knows it is
inadequate to the needs of the department
VIII Press the Matter.
The Attorney General will not content
himself with a formal recommendation, but
intends to appear before the appropriations
committees of Congress and point out the
defects and dangers of the present building
He Will argue foc appropriation of at
least 81 oOo unD.
Other officials of the Department of Jus
uce have already begun the agitation by
outlook is good for brisk fight, possibly
a winning one.
Former Recommendations.
The first recommendation for a new build
ing was made by Attorney General Garland
in lSSJ. He repeated the recommendation
each year of his administration. Each one
of his successors has endeavOred to impress
upon Congress the necessity Of a new and
adequate structure. Attorney General OIL
ney had Supervising Architect O'Rourke
make an examination. Mr.. ORourke pro-
nounced the building dangerously overload
cd and unsafe. AS a result of his report
much of the library of the department had
to be moved to the basement to somewhat
relieve the danger. The basement is now
so full that there is no room for anything

Report of the Commission.

The first thing the friends of the Mica
ragua canal bill now before the Senate will
do will be to secure at as early a day as
possible a preliminary report of the gov
ernment commission, that has just return
ed here from Nicaragua after careful
study on the ground OF the canal problem.
1t is understood that this commission con-
siders the canal project a feasible one, al
though it will make n few suggestions OF
changes from the plan formerly adopted b
the caral company. Its full report will no
be ready TO be sent to Congress for coul
pie of months, but a preliminary report
giving the main features of the conclusions
could be made at any time. When this pre-
Morgan. it is believed. will call up the canal
bill and endeaVor TO put it through before
the appropriation bills have come to the
Senate from the House. The bill, if passed,
can then be brought up in the House OF
course there is danger that some influences
may defeat action on the bill. but there Is
practically no doubt that a strong effort
Will be made to get il through.
President lgleSiaS of Costa Rica, while In
the city, has expressed his preference To
have this canal built by the United States
government, or under its control, and IL Is
said the passage of the Morgan bill woul,
please him very much. He has no conf
dence that any private company without
government aid will he able TO put through
so gigantic a project.
The friends of the canal are already act
i've in plans for pushing the project, and
evidences of their intentions will doubtless
be seen in the Senate at an early day.
