INCREASING THE SQUADRON.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Secretary

THE SENATE SOBERED.

Would not Pass Cuban BelIigerency
Resolution For Fear of Preeipitating
War With Spain Even Morgan Fought
Et-A Crisis Acknowledged.
WASHINGTON, Feb 24.-While the
senate had under consideration the dip
plomatic and consular appropriation bill
a sharp debate ON the Cuban situation
was precipitated by Mr. Allen (Neb. },
who offered as an amendment the reso-
luton passed by the senate a year ago
recognizing the belligerent rights of the
Cuban insurgents The debate became
general an,. occupied nearly four hours.
In the course of reply to the prelimin-
airy statement by Mr. Allen, Mr. Nor
gan Gala. said that this countrys re-
lations with Spain at the present time
were seriously strained and that inter
vention by he United States, which a
year ago would have been inoffensive,
would now be a cause of war. He ex-
pressed the opinion that the Cuban af-
fair would eventually be submitted to
the arbitrament of the sword between
the United States and SPAIN but he did
not want war precipitated by rash acts
of legislation.
"If, however, said Mr.. Morgan,
"any senator believes in declaration
of war, and will draw up such declare
ton with sufficient and proper grounC
upon which to base it, / will vote for
it,"
At this point Mr.. Allen interrupted
Mr. Morgan to disclaim any intention

Spain. He expressed the opinion that
his amendment could in no way be con
strued into such declaration.
Mr.. Foraker co. thought the day
not far distant when the time for action
by this country would arrive, and that
the chief magistrate of the nation
ought to rejoice that the legislative
branch of the government was prepared
to support him in asserting American
rights. Mr. Thurston (Neb.) counseled
calmness and prudence, for he believed
that the country was rapidly drifting
into a war with Spain. I'VE ought 20
have patience, 4" said he, land wait as a
great and powerful people, not in fear,
but in hope, that some satisfactory con
clusion Of the present difficulty may
be reached. p"
Mr. HOar Mass maintained that the
floor Of the senate was no proper place
for angry discussions of international
affairs, and that no senator ought to ut
ter anything that might not well be ut
tered by the president of the United
States. He expressed his willingness,
however, to give his support to the ex-
ecutive should the time for action ar
rive, provided the proposed action was
based upon clear and unmistakable fact.
Mr.. Aliens amendment was ruled out
of order and the appeal from the ruling
taken by the Nebraska senator was laid
on the table by vote of 81 to 5. Early
in the day Mr.. Allen offered a resolu-
ton providing for a committee of five
senators, who should go to Cuba and

The board of inquiry will not give
out the results of their investigation
until it is completed and then it will
be turned over to the government
So the people may be assured that
no matter what the result of their
labors may be that war will not be

board will be in session perhaps a
week opslonger as the circumstances
ofthe case warrant. One thing is
sure there will be no undue haste and
everything that is done will be done

1t VIII BE the Great InternatiOna al
Language of the Future Through

From the Westminster Review.
There is now no room for doubt that
tle great International language of the
future will be English. That this mag
iiiicent destiny awaited it has been
suspected by many; but, as long as the
prophets were themselves of that ma
ton, the statement attracted little at
. tention. Within the last few years,
however, foreign critics have come to
the same conclusion. "a hundred years
ago." says Michael Bernays, Schiller
wrote, Our language shall the world
commando but has the century which
Is now drawing to close verified this
proud prediction? Is it not rather the
language of Shakespeare that Is ever
conquering fresh ground?"

SMOKERS CANCER PALACES
General Grants Illness Said to Re
Not Due to the Excessive Use of
Tobacco.

From the New York Herald
Notwithstanding all the good argu-
ments that have been offered against
the evils of excessive smoking it can
hardly be claimed that the habit is
entirely responsible for the production
of cancer of the lips, mouth or throat.
Since the illness of Gen. Grant 1t has
been the popular belief that the dread
ed disease from which he suffered was
caused by his overindulgence in to-
bacco Thus it may be easy to believe
from report that another victim of
tobacco has been added to the long
list of similar sufferers.
The facts, however, in these cases do
not by any means confirm the theory.
1t was we'll settled in Gen. Grants case
that tobacco in itself was not the in
itiative cause of his throat trouble. but
merely induced a subsequent aggrava-
ton of symptoms by the extra irrita-
ton of the smoke passing over the at
ready diseased surface
1t is quite true that cancer of the
lip is very common among pipe smok-
ers but the real factor of harm is not
the tobacco or any special poison it
may contain, but the persistent, loca-
LIKED irritation of the pipe stem. Clay
pipes, above all others, are particularly
harmful, as they are most easily heat
ed, have rough surface for the lip, are
mostly used by persistent smokers. and
are usually held stationary on one side
of the mouth, all of which tends to
localiZe and intensity the irritation
which determines the malignant
growth The first Indication of the di-
sease is warty patch on the lip at
the usual point of contact with the
pipe stem. When discovered early it is
perfectly amenable to surgical treat
ment, the percentage of cures being
larger than that of any other form of
cancer.

Gen. Gomez has written a letter to

purpose to accept nothing but the con-
ditions of the Monte Christie declara-
ton: He says he is willing, however,
to pay Spain 100000, 900 purchase
money if needed. He is also anxious
that the Spanish soldiers who remain
here should help in the rebuilding of
Cuba's commercial greatness. Gen.
Gomez says he has nearer $4,000 than
10000 men under arms and is gaining
recruits daily.
Fighting has been resumed with Vigor
