words above mentioned be inserted But
the Senate conferrees were met with
refusal to SO agree, and he reluctantly
reported the same to the Senate
Morgan stated that the Chairman of
the Foreign Relations Committee SPOKE
for the majority. For one, he had not
relinquished the hope that the Cubans
might be free, but thought under the
temper of the House there was little
or no use to send the conferrees again
into conference, unless it was indicated
that the House would recede
Cockrell then offered motion to in
sist upon the Senate resolution, where
upon Morgan said in a loud voice he
had not yielded the Republic of Cuba,
as a member of the Conference Com
mittee.
Hoar of Massachusetts, following,
said that it was the understanding that
if the United States went to war and
sent its ships into Cuban waters and
it's armies into Cuban territory our
navy would surely be under the direc-
ton of the Cuban Government, if the
Senate insisted upon the Turpie amend
ment
Cries of No, Mo-" were heard all
over the chamber
Mills of Texas said that the House
had turned its back upon the funda-
mental principle of the Constitution,
and the proper course for the Senate
now to pursue was to refuse to grant
a further conference with the House
conferrees.
Daniel of Virginia said the situation
SO far as the Senate was concerned
made the last stage worse than the
first, and he, for one. was in favor of
insisting upon a disagreement with the
House.
Mason stated what he conceived to be
the parliamentary status of the pe,;d-
ing question He said that the hope
had been that if the Senate would yield
the substance of independence, the
shadow of freedom would be left to US.
Mason then became almost hysterical
in his oratory. He had, he declared,
made the fight for independence. He
had been forced to yield his convc-
lions this afternoon and now he was
prepared to yield still further
1--WE gave up our ideas" he cried,
"but l say to you now that capitulate;
1 do not surrender. You have con-
quered me, but if God lets me live, I
give you notice that tomorrow 1 shall
fight for Cuban independence, and gain
it before 1 quit this sphere of action"
A strong appeal was then entered by
White of California for action of some
kind that would end the suspense, and
end it at once
