talk would result from the present agi-
tation of the Cuban question in the Sem
ate.
Mr.. Cannon said it was not his pur-
pose-not the purpose of those who be-
Ilieved with him-to disturb in any way
the peace and welfare of the people of
the United States. He did not, he said,
desire to reflect unnecessarily upon the
policy of the President but there was a
phase of the question, in the opinion
Of Mr.. Cannon, raised by the newspaper
article to which he had referred, which
ought to be considered.
BY what authority, he asked, could
any public journal say that nothing more
than talk would result from the con-
sideration of the Cuban question in Con-
gress?
HAS some concerted plan been ar
ranged" he asked, "by which the carry
ing into effect the will of the people of
this country is to be undone?"
Il want to say" said Mr.. Cannon, con-
tinuing, that something more harmful
than talk will result from the discussion
of the Cuban question by Congress"
"These resolutions will strike men in
Congress and men in high places in the
administration. We have been told that
policy in the treatment of this Cuban
question was to be inaugurated that
would startle the country, but that policy
has not yet developed.
WAR" continued Mr.. Cannon, sis
ended in Cuba. The war that there ex-
listed has developed into brutal con-
test of hunger"
Spain, he thought. had not the cour-
age to pursue it's operations against the
patriots in the field. The government
of Madrid was bankrupt her greatest
statesmen had passed away and in the
conduct of the Cuban war, she had
adopted a policy to subdue her enemies
by bribery and starvation. Should the
efforts of Spain succeed, the result would
be to saddle upon the people of Cuba
the enormous debt of $400, 100000, debt
that has been incurred in vain effort
to subdue the spirit of liberty manifested
by the Cuban patriots.
After some discussion of the general
features of the Cuban question Mr.. Can
non said: II charge now that the pur-
pose of the administration is in con-
sonance with the wishes of the Spanish
bondholders and before peace is secured

non had made. Mr.. Cannon, pale with
feeling, made reply to what, at the mo-
ment seemed an insult but which was
subsequently satisfactorily explained.
AN EXECTANT AUDIENCE
In anticipation of speeches on the
relations of the United States and Spain
concerning the Cuban war-a subject
of intense interest to majority OF
Americans-the galleries were crowded
at an early hour today. Indeed, the pub
lie galleries were filled before the Sem
ate convened al IL o'clock and the re-
served galleries filled rapidly soon after
noon. The interest was quitesevidently
not confined to the people in the CALLER
les. When the Vice-President's gavel
fell opening the session, a noticeably
larger number of Senators were present
than is usual so early in the day. The
notice given yesterday by both Senator
Cannon of Utah and Senator Mason OF
Illinois, that they would address the
Senate upon resolutions they had intro
duced, served as the magnet to draw
Senators from their committee rooms
early in the days session.

Mr. Allen presented and secured the
adoption OF a resolution directing the
Committee on Judiciary to investigate

order placing the employees of the print

Mr.. Morrill, of Vermont called up his
Joint resolution authorizing the building
of statue of Liberty on the dome of the

marks on the gold and silver questions
by Senators Stewart and Chandler, the
resolution was adopted-SO to 90.

The resolution offered by Mr.. Cannon

assert the independence of the Cuban

REFUGEES NOT SURPRISED
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 9.-The news
of the assassination of President Jose
Maria Reina Barrios of Guatemala Gre
ated considerable excitement in this
city today, as both the murdered presi-
dent and his wife were well known here,
and also because number of San Fran

ests in that republic.
To the little colony of refugees who
fled from Guatemala some months ago
and located in this city to escape the
wrath Of the dictator, the announcement
was not so surprising, as the insurgents
threatened some time ago to kill Bar
rios before the expiration Of his term on
March Is.
At the time Of his election to the
presidency, Barrios was residing tenn
porarily in this city, and during their
years residence here he and his wife, an
American lady whom he married in New
Orleans, made many staunch friends.
Mrs. Barrios was in San Francisco when
her husband proclaimed himself dicta-
tor in June last, ostensibly en- route to
Europe. but she did not cross the Attain
tic, and soon after the news of his proc
lamation had been received here she re-
turned to Guatemala.
Private dispatches were received here
from Prospero Morales, formerly leader
of the insurgents in Guatemala, to the
effect that he was en- route to this city.
He had been informed of the death of
Barrios, but disclaimed all knowledge
of the assassination.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb 9.-The joint
committee of the commercial and mu-

pointed for the purpose of devising ways
and means to make a proper exhibit of
the resources of California at the Omaha

the committee that a site had been re-
served by him for California building.
and that suitable building could be
erected for about $4,000. The regular
price for space been been fixed at 81 per
square foot, but as an inducement the
managers of the fair would donate 1000
square feet, and fixed the rate for the
balance at rs cents per square foot 1t
was estimated that at least 10000 square
feet would be required. The commit
tee is hopeful of making satisfactory ar
rangements to secure a satisfactory ex-

in Cuba, security for the payment of
that tremendous debt must be given by
the blood-stained island. That, l say
appears to be the wish of the administra-
tion and 1 may say of Spain"
Referring to the situation as 1t was
presented when Mr.. Mckinley assumed
the presidency, Mr. Cannon said that ii
was almost an earthly omnipotence
which the president possessed and pos
sesses now. The recognition of the
belligerent rights of the insurgents
would have been of immense advantage
at any time during the present war. but
now such recognition would absolutely
terminate the terrible struggle. Mr..
Cannon thought it peculiarly significant
that every Spaniard and every Spaniard
sympathizer was opposed to the recog-
milton of the belligerency of the Cuban
patriots, while every Cuban had main
tanned from the first such recognition
would be of such advantage as to en-
able them to wrest victory from what
otherwise might possibly be defeat.
"If the chief executive of this country
had dreamed when he entered upon his
duties of the power that was to be con-
ferred by his oath upon him it would
scarcely have been possible for him to
conceive of a greater opportunity to set
a people free than was then presented to
him. His signature to document would
now set that people free. What is it that
stays the hand of Mckinley? We have
waited long, but our waiting has been
in vain, our cup of waiting Is now full. -
A sensational interruption of Mr.. Can
non occurred. There was a buzz of con-
versatiou among the spectators-mem-
bers of the house of representatives who

ber--when Mr.. Hale of Maine addressed

hope that order might be preserved and
the rules OF the senate strictly observed
Just as the interruption occurred Mr.
Cannon had made the sttement that
every rifle in the hands of the Cuban
patriots had cost them 5000. After quiet
had been restored, Mr.. Cannon, whose
face was white as paper, and who was
evidently painfully affected by his emo
ton, said:
II do not ordinarily object to remarks
