ought to be distinctly understood 1t
should not be submitted to the arbitra-
ment of a foreign nation.
| Mr.. Allen said that this country had
no greed for Spanish territory or Span
ish gold nor was it the desire of the
| United States to establish q protecto-
rate over Cuba, but the torch which
| lighted Cuba must be extinguished.
Further along Mr., Aleln said: eff I
could have my way, would instantly
recall our minister to Madrid and hand
to the Spanish minister his passports"
| He said that he was opposed to the
general policy of the president of the
United States but as one of the repre-
sentatives in the senate Of a great state
he was willing to give him his support
in a proper settlement of the Cuban
problem for he felt that all political
considerations at a time like this ought
to be laid aside and men of all parties
should stand together. He believed
that in few days we should witness
the Cuban flag consecrated by hun
dreds of thousands of lives waving in
triumph over the island.
Scarcely had Mr.. Allen concluded
when Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire
precipitated lively scene. He thought
that the action of the committee on
foreign relations indicated some doubt
and indecision. Yesterday the COM
mittee thought new call for the con-
sular reports ought to be made; to-
day it thought the call ought to be
withdrawn.
1.-THE first CALL" said Mr.. Chandler,
twas made in a resolution presented
by the senator from Alabama (Mr.
Morgan) on February IA. On the fol-
lowing day at $40 o'clock an answer
to that call for information came from
Spain"
| Mr.. Chandler thought the senate and
the country were not without informa-
ton. They had been informed of the
conditions in Cuba by members Of the
senate who had seen with their own
eyes and heard with their own ears
all the horrors in Cuba. They had rem
dered the 81 eatest possible service to-
Cuba.
IT have the fullest confidence in the
committee on foreign relations" said
he. II have confidence that the presi
dent intends to pursue patriotic and
righteous course in the present emer-
gency and shall thank God when he
reaches a conclusion Of some sort or
another. Therefore l am not in rebel
lion as yet against the powers that be.
await upon the committee on foreign
relations, but do think that as that
committee deemed it advisable yester-
day to make second call for the con-
sular correspondence, and has now
reached the conclusion that the second
call should not be made, the committee
ought to give us some reason for the
delay"
1.-THE confidence expressed by the
senator in the committee on foreign
relations" replied Mr.. Frye sarcasti-
cally, renders any reply to his re-
marks unnecessary. The committee is
acting advisedly in asking that the
resolution go over and the committee
will endeavor to entitle itself to that
confidence
Mr.. Frye then renewed his motion to
recommit the resolution to the COM
mittee. ST shall not object" sharply
responded Mr.. Chandler, ito letting the
committee on foreign relations have
control of the resolution, to letting the
committee start, turn back and then
start again. will help the committee
whenever can"
The motion to recommit was passed.
Thereupon Mr.. Chandler reintroduced
on his own account the committees
resolution and asked that it go over
until tomorrow.
Consideration of the sundry civil APP
. preparation bill was then begun. The
first clash occurred over a committee
amendment appropriating s45,000 for
the purchase of the Globe building on
Pennsylvania avenue in Washington.
After an extended debate the amend
ment was stricken out, 10 to 3S.
After thirty-fve pages of the bill had
been disposed of, the measure was laid
, aside. Mr.. Hawley of Connecticut, of
the military affairs committee, pre-
. scented in amended form the joint reso-
, luton offered by Mr. Bacon concerning
the erection of temporary Notifications.
He said that the resolution as now
amended met all objections that had
been raised against the original one. 1t
, follows
THAT in case of emergency when in
! the opinion of the president the imme-
, date erection of any temporary fort
!, or Notifications is deemed important
and urgent, such temporary fort or for
, tifications may be constructed upon
written consent of the owner of the
land upon which such work Is to be
placed, and the requirements of sec
} ton 355 of the revised statutes shall
not be applicable in such case"
The resolution was passed.
Then the senate at p. m. went into
executive session and at APO n m adj
