GRAY DEFENDS M'KINLEY.
Senator Gray replied briefly to Sem
ator Daniel saying his only object
was 10 secure united front in the
present emergency, To do this he
thought there should be cooperation
between Congress and the President
Gray said that there was no justif-
cation for Daniels insnuation that the
Presidents supporters desired to send
the American army to Cuba to aid in
suppressing Gomez. The only object
of interference would be in the end to
secure independence of Cuba.
Mr.. Daniel said he had made no
such insnuation.
Mr.. Daniel asked If the language
could not be construed as an attempt
to force a truce between the Cubans
and Spain.
| Mr.. Gray said he wanted a truce
between the political parties here un-
| til the crisis was passed.
TILLMAN DECLARES FOR WAR
Mr.. Tillman took the floor and said
| there would be war whenever the reso-
luton was adopted. But this was nc
reason for the Presidents not saying
clearly what he meant to do. Mr. Till
| man said he would vote in anon parti-
san way, adding "Populists. Republl-
cans. Democrats are we. but all Aineri-
cans to make Cuba free"
| Mr.. 1illman confessed to some sus-
| picion in the premises. 1t was his ex-
perience that angels We're few and he
discovered none in the Senate. He
| quoted newspaper account of a
| White House conference, at which Mr..
Gray was present, and in which II
said the resolutions We're endorsed MS
possibly explaining Gray's attitude
Mr.. Tillman dwelt upon the passage oil
belligerency resolutions by Congress
two years ago and of an independence
| resolution a year ago. In view OF this
fact, he contended. the executive was
to blame for the present condition OF
affairs. IL the Spanish fotilla should
get into American waters Ii would
not be the fault of the Senate.
| Tillman said the Presidents message
could only be interpreted to mean that
he intended to use the army of the
United States for hostile demonstra.
ton against both Spain and Cuba
He declared the President did not wan

Tillman announced himself as 70,

Under such circumstances who would
constitute the returning board?" h,
asked.
The proposition was to refuse Il
recognize the gallant Cuban soldier
who were fighting for liberty and prob
ably to again recognize Spanish au
thority. Mr. T'illman said he did no
suspect the President, but he had som'
very wicked partners who were no
free from suspicion of being influenced
by Spanish bondholders.
Mr.. Tillman referring to Spanish
bonds said the papers told the worlt
there had been midnight conferences
between the Spanish ministers.
'Ponds are strong" he said littl,
