When Mason Of Illinois entered the

CUBAN INDEPENDENCE.
The first was by Allen of Nebraska,
recognizing the independence of Cuba.
Aliens resolution was at his request
laid on the table.
Following is Senator Aliens resolu-
ton:
Whereas, the war now and for some
time past being waged between the
Kingdom Of Spain and the Cuban in
surgcnts has fully demonstrated the to-
tai inability of the former to subdue
the insurgents; and,
Whereas, said war has become one
of determination by starvation, ard
the dictates of Christian civilization
and common humanity alike demand
the speedy cessation of hostilities, and
the immediate termination Of the de-
liberately planned starvation now go
ing on in the Island Of Cuba: and,
Whereas, under existing circumstan-
ces, it is the bounden duty of the
United States to intervene; and,
Whereas, the assertion OF the Monroe
doctrine forbidding the interference OF
foreign powers in the affairs of any
State or nation on the Western Hemis-
phere creates All obligation on the part
Of the United States to guarantee the
people thereof against unusual cruelties
and 5arbarities and determination by
any such foreign power: and,
Whereas, the Cubans have in the
opinion of the American people and OF
Congress, by their .valor and sacrifices
during the four years of war won their
independence from Spain and are en-
titled to political recognition by the
United States; ard,
Whereas. it is apparent that Spain
