assist Spain to place any kind of autonomy on Cuba. Spain cannot be trusted to keep her promise and we cannot undertake to compel her to.
 Cuba Has Paid the Price
 Aside from that, poor Cuba has paid larger price for liberty than we did and she must be free. I shall oppose any plan that looks to forcing Cuba in the future to pay Spain in cash for her liberty. Her land is full of graves and her future gen. erations must not be mortgaged. When shall we be better prepared for war? VIII it be when the Spanish torpedo f1otilla has crossed the water and rests complacently on her base of supplies within five or six houres' distance of our fleet? We know now officially what we have believed for forty days. Shall we wait until she can destroy more of our ships and men? God forbid that such a crime should be charged to us Let us awake, shake off the Chinese narcotic that locks us in drowsy indolence, murmuring peace at any price awake as our forefathers did at Concord and Bunker Hil; awake to glorious war against na- ton that burns homes and murders women and children, awake to glorious war that seeks no gain for us in treasury or terri tory, but a war to drive the oppressor from the continent to set the Cuban flag in the sky forever and war that will help us for generations to come, by giving notice that the honor of our flag and the lives of our citizens must be respected among the na- tions of the world" Applause in the galleries). % :
 At the conclusion of Mir. Masons speech a bill providing for a national exposition Of American products and manufactures in Philadelphia for encouragement of the ex- port trade and appropriating $5O,OO0 there- for was passed. f.f
 MT. Morgan. of Alabama, presented and secured the passage of a, resolution calling on the president for information as to the disposition made of the congressional ap- propriation of $50, 600 for the relief of Ameri- can citizens in Cuba and as to the number of American citizens relieved from the fund.
 MT. Tillman, of South Carolina, in &C., cordance with previous notice, presented resolutions concerning the death of the late Joseph A. Earle, senator from Souul Carolina. Eulogies were delivered by Senators McLaurin, Chandler, Clay, Spoon- CT. Chiffon, Cannon Kenney, McEnery and Tillman.
 Eulogfzed by Antagonist
 One of the most remarkable eulogies probably ever delivered in the senate was that pronounced by MT. Tiliman. He and Senator Earle had been long time political antaEonists and in the common acceptance of the term had never been friends or po- litical alies In paying brilliant tribute to the late senator, MT. Thlman said he felt that if he failed to pay 1t the history of the fame and virtues of General Earle would lack the important testimony which he alone could give. MT. Tillman then re- viewed what he said was one of the most remarkable political campaigns ever waged that for the gubernatorial nomination m the Palmetto state in 1890, in which he ana General Earle were rival candidates In that campaign the reform movement headed by MT. Tman was successful, General Earle carrying only four of the thfrty-hve counties of the state. During that cam- naign General Earle won the admiration of all by the intrepidity and distinguished ability with which he conducted himself and paved the way to his subsequen cleo ton to the senate. In conclusion, MT. MI man said that while his might not be the highest tribute that might be paid to Gen. eral Earle, none certainly could be more sincere and heartfelt.
 As a further mark of respect the senate at 4:25 p. m., adjourned.
