sustain the glory and bullet tattered stan.
dards befo n the enemy. They are not the
men even who will pay the taxes imposed
TO carry on the war Let the senate go
on in its measured tread. amid no rancor

branches of this government strongly and

it,"
Mr.. Daniel said that he agreed neither
with the house resolution nor with the
senate resolution. In my judgment, cid

milton of the great Cuban republic, which
has won name among the independent
nations by its own handiwork.

action and message induced a heated COLO
