WAR OPENLY PREDICTED
 BY SENATORS IN DEBATE
HII6n'S B6IlO6r6n6u Resolution as a Rider to
 Appropriation DIl Defeated

Washington, Feb. 23.-Wnile the senate had under consideration the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill today a sharp debate on the Cuban question was precipitated by MT. Allen, of Nebraska. who offered as an amendment the resolu- tion passed by the senate a year ago. rec. ognizing the beligerent rights of the Cu- ban insurgents. The debate became gen. eral and occupied nearly four hours.
 In the course of reply to the prelim- mary statement by MT. Allen, MT. Nor gan, of Alabama, said this countrys rela- tions with Spain at the present time were seriously strained and that intervention by the United States, which a year ago would have been inoffensive, would be all most a cause for war. He expressed the opinion that the Cuban affair would event. ually be submitted to the arbitrament of the sword between the United States and Spain, but he did not want war precipi- tated by rash acts of legislation.
 Day Not Far Distant
 MT. Foraker, of Ohio, thought the day not far distant when the time for action by this country would arrive, and that the cheif magistrate of the nation ought to rejoice that the legislative branch of the government was prepared to support him in asserting American rights.
 Mr. Thurston counseled calmness- and
The age-herald., 1898-02-24

prudence, for he believed the country was rapidly drifting into war with Spain.
 "We ought to have patience" said he, "and wait as great and powerful people, not in fear, but in hope that some satis- factory conclusion of the present difficulty may be reached"
 MT. Hoar, of Massachusetts, maintained that the floor of the senate was no proper place for angry discussion of international affairs and that no senator ought to utter anything that might not well be uttered by the president of the United States.
 MT. Aliens amendment was ruled out of order, and the appeal from the ruling taken by MT. Allen was laid on the table by a vote of 51 to 5. ~4i.
 Aliens Resolution
 Early in the day Mr. Allen offered res- olution providing for a committee of five senators who should go to Cuba and as- certain the precise situation on the island. Under the rules it went over until tomor- row. It is as follows:
 Whereas. it is the established doctrine of the United States that the western hemisphere shall be dedicated to republican forms of government, recds dsnizing the po- htical equality of human beings, and
 Whereas. the principles of the Monroe doctrine or the doctrine of national self preservation is as applicable in wrestling any portion of this continent from the grasp of foreign countries as in preventing

VESSELS HEADED
 FOR KEY WEST
Admiral Sicard Has Not Recov- cred From the Attack of
 MalariaI Fever.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The noon mall brought to Secretary Long a letter from Admiral Sicard at Key West. The admiral wrote he has not yet recovered his health : and would be unable to go to sea with the squadron. He will remain on shore at his hotel in Key Wect and retain command of the squadron from that place long as it remains in harbor there, relinquishing it only when it becomes necessary for the vessels to go to sea as squadron.
 It will be remembered the admiral had suffered an attack of malarial fever and had secured leave CT absence of two weeks from the department just before the ex- plosion on th Maine. He got as far as Tampa but returned immediately to his command which for only one day he had left in the hands of Captain Sampson. Should the squadron be obliged to go to sea with the admiral i'll at Key West, and the senior officer of his fleet, Captain Sampson, engaged in the investigation at Havana, probably the command of the squadron would devolve upon Captain Fay Tor now commanding the battlestip Massa- chusetts and commonly regarded one of the brightest am1l brainiest officers in the naval service. <4
 Simultaneously with the departure of the Texas and Nashville from Galveston for Key West. the Marblehead has left New Orleans and the Detroit will leave Mobile for Key West.
 The Montgomery is also due at Key West, having left San Domingo for Key West on the 16th. The result will be to bring together again the larger number of vessels under Admiral Sicard at Key West and the immediate vicinity. These will be the New York, now at Tortugas, the Indiana, Massachusetts, Texas, Iowa, Marblehead Detroit, Nashville, Montgom- cry, Ericsson and Cushing. The torpedo boats Porter and Dupont are in dry dock at Mobile and are not expected to be ready to go to Key West for several days The Brooklyn is also cruising in the West Indies at present en route from St. Thomas to Vera Cruz.

 Whereas, the Island of Cuba, by reason of itsslocation and close proximity to the United States, should be of right dedicated to republican form of government; and
 Whereas, a republican form of govern ment is, and has been for nearly three years maintained in said island by force of arms, and
 Humanity Requires Intervention
 Whereas, 1t is alleged that 50O.000 persons on said island have died of starvation by reason of being concentrated by the Span- ish government at various points, without being fed or afforded an opportunity to provide food for themselves, and hundreds are daily dying; and
 Whereas, the dictates of humanity re- quire the intervention of the United States in such case, therefore
 Resolved, that select committee of five senators shall be appointed, whose duty it shall be to make a thorough investigation and inquire into and report on the follow ing subjects:
 ITO what extent the work of concen- trating the inhabitants of Cuba has been carried on by the Spanish government, and how many persons on said island have in the last three years died as a result of starvation or for lack of sufficient food and diseases incident thereto and to what extent concentration is being practiced there by Spanish authorities, and the con- ditions of the people concentrated. : 2-Whether the concentrated Cubans have been adequately sheltered, clothed and fed by the Spanish government. or by others or have been permitted to obtain food and clothing for themselves.
 3-What lawful steps, If any, are neces- sary and can be taken by the United States to bring the war in Cuba to a speedy termination on grounds honorable alike to Spain and Cuba, and which will result in the Kingdom of Spain relinquish- ing it's hold on the island, and in the estab- iishment of republican form of govern ment there.
 Spanish Barbarity and Cruelty
 4-To what extent Spanish barabrity and cruelty have during the war now in prog ress on the island of Cuba, been practiced toward the inhabitants of Cuba, and what
