in absolute conflict with the opinion of
President Jackson cited in the message
yesterday.
Mr. President, if those who oppose
granting independence to Cuba are to be
governed by precedent, they are welcome
to all the comfort they can get when con-
sidering the conduct of the United States
toward the Republic of Texas.
Mr.. Butler followed Mr.. Masons speech
by a few remarks of approval of what
he had said, and also declaring his own
position on this question to be for the
independence of Cuba and also for ayeng
ing the Maine. He said he had cheer
fully stood by the President in voting
him 500 000000 to defend the national
honor, and that he was willing to uphold
the hands of this Administration as long
as he could do so and respect himself
and the sentiments of his constituents.
Mr.. Butler said he was sorry that the
President had sent in a message that he
could not support, and that he hoped the
Committee on Foreign Relations would
submit for the consideration of the Sen
ate measure worthy of the adoption of
the American people as an honorable ma
tion.
Mr.. Butler was indignant that the crime
of the Maine was only regarded as an
incident" and he was in favor of using
the full strength of the Army and Navy
in avenging that crime and driving the
Spanish flag from Cuba, her ships from
the sea, and laying waste her towns and
cities.
Mr.. Butler dealt at some length on the
International syndicate of bondholders,
and drew the inference that they were
the only apparent cause of the attitude
taken by the President. He appealed to
those who are supposed to know the
reasoning by which the President reached
the conclusions set forth in his message.
