SENATE DELAYS ACTION Effort of Senator Davis to Get a Vote on Cuban
 Resolution Fails.
HE MAY FORCE ONE TO-DAY
4 CONTINUOUS SESSION WILL BE
 DEMANDED,

An Unprecedented Scene Occurs During an Endeavor to Continue Yesterdays $ Session Until a Vote is Taken-Senator Hoar Makes an Emotional Plea for Calm and Deliberate Action-Yesterday' s Speeches All Favorable to Some Action.
 Washington, April 14.--The attention of the civilized world is focused upon the senate of the United States. Upon it's action probably depends the mo- mentous question of war between this country and Spain. The action of the house yesterday in adopting resolu- tions looking to armed intervention in the Cuban rebellion transferred the center of interest and action from one wing of the capitol to the other. Upon the senate, therefore, as was reiterated on the floor to-day rests the responsi- bility for delay or action.
 Six Hours of Debate.
 For more than six hours this after noon the senate had the resolutions proposed by the committee on foreign relations under consideration. The speeches delivered upon the various phases of the situation were spirited and vehement. and disclosed no ire ,o,o;JabJo d;ffarorooe Q ,,,or,cr tboca who spoke. All were in favor of action in some form by the government. The whether the resolution finally adopted should recognize the independence of the Cuban republic or simply declare for armed intervention with a view to the ultimate freedom and independence of the Cuban people.
 The Speakers.
 The speakers to-day were Messrs. Turner, Hoar, Turpie, Gray and Fair banks. They were accorded the most profound attention both by senators on the floor and by the throngs in the gall leries Among those who listened to a part of the debate were Sir Julian Paun- cefote and a considerable number of the diplomatic corps, Speaker Reed, MT. Justice Harlan of the supreme court and Hon. w. J. Bryan. The speeches were interspersed with sharp and spirited colloquies, some of which caused intense excitement in the gal 1eries. Many times the applause both on the floor and in the galleries was tu- multuous and the vice president was obliged more than once to warn the spectators that no demonstrations were under the rules to be permitted.
 A Genuine Sensation.
 Within a few minutes of adjourn ment genuine sensation was created by the efforts of the vice president to subdue the applause induced by the ef- fort made to prolong the session un- til vote could be taken. Vice Presi- dent Hobart directly addressed the gall leries and ordered that the applause should cease. Nearly every senator was on his feet and the main aisle in front of the presidents desk was crowded with senators.
 "The chair is himself out of order" shouted MT. Gray of Delaware. ''He has no right directly to address the peopeople in the galleries"
 "Such a thing was never before done in the senate" declared MT. Bate of Tennessee.
 ''The applause was started by sena- tors on the floor" some one shouted from the crowd in front of the presi- dents desk.
 T started it myself" explained MT. Mason, land am proud to assume the responsibility" After vainly en- deavoring on two occasions to agree to a time for a vote upon the resolutions and after voting down motion to ad- journ, the senate finally amid much confusion, agreed to adjourn until 10 o'clock tomorrow.
