sponsble for any bonds which Spain might have agreed to pay from reve- nues derived from the island.
 Exuberant Eioquence.
 MT. Hoar did not think that the met aphysics of the senator from Kentucky (Mr. Lindsay or the eXuberant elo- quence of his friend from Illinois (Mr. Mason) had tended at all to clear the atmosphere surrounding the question. He thought that the speeches deliver ed by both of them should have been delivered in secret session.
 Insurgents Not Without Fault.
 The insurgents, he thought, were not without fault. Long before Spain had put into effect the reconcentrados or der they had applied the torch to or otherwise destroyed everything that stood in their way, from crops to towns.
 The Cuban Horrors.
 MT. Hoar held that the fact that both parties to the war in Cuba were re- sponsible for the existing horrors did not in any way detract from our own responsibility. He thought it the right and duty of the American people to deal with the difficulties. "We should not" he said, begin by quarreling among ourselves and slapping in the face the president of the United States, nor should we endeavor, in the discus sion of this matter, to make party capital'
 Should Expel Spain From Cuba.
 He pronounced the report of the for oio document and paid it's author (Mr. Da- vis) high compliment for the ability exhibited in it's preparation. He agreed with the conclusions of the report that the United States was entirely war ranted by international law in putting an end to the horrors that existed at our very doors. He agreed further, he said, with the president, who had de- clared that it was impossible for Spain to maintain proper and stable gov ernment upon the island. The contin- uance of the Spanish flag over Cuba could no longer be tolerated He held, therefore, that we must directly and as soon as possible expel Spain from the island. Peace could not be secured there except through such expulsion So far as Spain had made this step of the United States necessary she was responsible. Spain could not prevent the disturbance or preserve the pros perity of the island. We could, and we must.
 Ready to Support House Resolution.
 Mr. Hoar said that he agreed with and was prepared to support the res olution passed by the house. He liked, however, resolution which had been drawn by MT. Teller of Colorado, and maintained that in that resolution the United States was authorized to go as far as it ought. All other things would be added in the executing of the man. date of the resolution by the inexora- ble logic of events. T have spent this time,o said MT. Hoar, "because 1 thought it was due to an American pa triot, a splendid citizen and a great president, to repel the angry attacks made upon him in this chamber. In the conduct of this Cuban affair his &C., ton has not been that of cowardlce, weakness or dishonor."
 Should Not Acquit Blanco.
 MT. Hoar held that to acquit Blanco, however, of any connection with the Maine diaster, as General Lee was in clined to do, would be to acquit Spain, for Blanco was the only official through whom orders could have gone to subor- dinate officials, but he did not hold that to acquit Blanco was to relieve Spain of entire responsibility for the loss of the vessel and so many of it's crew. The setting off of the mine did not create a state of war, but it was one of those acts for which war might be made.
 Will Lead to War. 90 Mr. Hoar said he expected to vote for the house resolution; that he would have liked to vote for the resolution offered by Senator Teller, but what ever the resolution he did not want it to include the recognition of the Cuban insurgents, nor their present govern ment. The resolution, he said, would cad to war. A war of no foreign con- quest, for no national gain or personal aggrandizement, but a war for hu- manity. Speaking of the destruction of the Maine,he said that it was wretch ed act on the part of Spain which de- manded full reparation.
 United Action.
 In closing Mir. Hoar, who was listened to with the closest attention on the part of a crowded senate, sad: If there have been any nasty or unwise utterances of impatience in such cause as that and I think there have been, they have been honest brave, human utterances. But when l enter upon this war I want to enter upon it with united American people--presi- dent and senate and house and army and navy and democrat and republican, all joining hands and all marching one way. I want to enter upon it with the sanction of international law with the sympathy of all humane and liberty loving nations, with the approval of our own consciences and with cer- tainty of the applauding judgment of history.
 As the Archangel Michael.
 q confess do not like to think of the genius of America angry, snarling, shouting, screaming, clawing with her nails I like rather to think of her in her honest and serene beauty inspired by sentiments, even toward her ene- mics, not of hate, but of love, perhaps a little pale about the eye and smile on her lips, but as sure, determined, unerring, invincible as was the arch angel Michael when he struck down
