WAR REVENUE BILL
lCoitinued from Page Three.)
provision was not materially different from
the law of 1890

provision was not materially different from
the law of 1890.
Simpson, Populist of Kansas, attacked
the bond provision as unnecessary.
A servere arrangement of the failure of
the war to bring relief to the suffering peo-
pie in Cuba was interjected in the debate
by Pierce DemN Of Tennessee.
Further depression from the bill was in
dulged in by Swanson Dem.) of Virginia,
who very vigorously dissented from any
inclination to turn the war; into one Of ag-
gression to end with this country holding
great colonial possessions. He attacked
then the bond and other features of the bill,
notably tie tobacco part.
Swanson took occasion to criticise the
administration in its conduct of the war,
and particularly did he antagonize the
pending BILL conducive to the interest of
monopolists and the very rich. The speech
brought from Grosvenor an imprisoned
and highly sensational response.
Had Sagasta, had Blanco, had Cervera
been given the opportunity of making a
speech on this occasion, they would not
have made SO incendiary an appeal against
the prosecution of this war as the gentle
man from Virginia has uttered. denounce
his unpatriotic purposes; 1 denounce his
unpatrotic and untruthful utterances."
Continuing, he referred to the Virginian
al representing contestable" district, and
was bitterly personal in his denunciation
charging the Virginia member with servile
and narrow political motives. A laugh was
created in the midst of the Ohioan's ter
rife TRADE when he referred to the battle
ship Oregon as having recently sunk a
Confederate torpedo boat" He explained
the mistake by the unpatriotism of the gen.
tleman from Virginia.
Swanson, in two-minute reply, said:
1.-THE only reason 1 can give fon the I'M
fair, unjust, unpatriotic and untrue per-
sonal attack upon me is that the speaker
Is in such condition that he does not know
whether he is fighting the Confederate OF
Spanish forces"
He then proceeded with an eloquent de-
Tense of his district. Later Swanson again
secured the floor and declared his belief
that the Ohio member would never have
made "the brutal attack had he been sober.
Grosvenor, being again recognized, de-
clared he had attacked the sentiment of the
Virginian's speech, and not the personality
of the member.
He denounced Swanson's insinuation thai
| he (Grosvenor) was not sober, as "weapor
which no honorable opponent would use
in debate such as the one in progress
| The Democrats jeered and the Republicans
| applauded the denunciation.

SPANS BEST FRIENDS
Urge Her to Submit and Without
DELAY

LONDON, June 10.-The Times says:
Probably the next few days will form as
critical a period as any the Spanish gov
eminent has yet passed through. Ir is use
less for Spain to cherish her pleasing illu
sions. America will lick her volunteers into
a shape good enough for the work in hand
much sooner than seems to be anticipated In
Madrid.
The Daily News says:
Spain's best friends can only urge her to
submit without delay. There is no armor
against fate and there is no remedy for in
capacity. If international diplomacy deals
with the war, Lord Salisbury will insist upon
the just claim of the United States to Sc
cure the reward of energy and foresight in
q good cause.
