CUBA IN CONGRESS!
Morgan Opposed 10 His Cuban
BelliSerenCy Resolution,
As a Rider for Diplomatic and Con-
sular Appropriation Bill.
Teller Considers Recognition OF Belllger-
eney an Executive Act
SENATORS MORE CAUTIOUS row.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Allen offered
the Morgan Cuban belligerency resolution
~ an amendment to the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill. Hale gave
notice OF a point Of order against the
amendment.
Morgan, In opposing the Allen amend
ment, said: "If this resolution was made a
partof the bill Spain would have right to
consider II declaration OF war. He con-
tended that the conditions now were diff
ferent than when the senate passed the
resolution last May. II the senator from
Nebraska wanted TO vote for declara.
tion Of war let him bring 1t in and state
his grounds. He (MOrgan) would vote
for such resolution"
Morgan said he would not vote for a
declaration Of war against Spain in dis
guise. He wanted a challege made and
pinned up In an honorable way. Morgan
said he always believed the United States
and Spain will fight over Cuba. II we
wanted 10 interfere with Spain LET us do
80 in q straightforward manner and not
IN roundabout way to provoke Spain
into a declaration OF war. Morgan said
that autonomy was fraud, but was far
more than any one would have dared to
suggest year ago. The United States
did not compel Spain to offer this autOn-
omy. II was Gomez aud his soldiers.
Morgan said he never got 10 that pO.
sitlon where he would stop the wheels Of
government to enforce a policy he be-
lieyed in.
Lodge opposed making this question
the subject for rider on an appropria.
tion bill.
Teller said he had come TO the con-
elusion that the recognition OF bslliger-
ency was an executive act, aud that all
congress could do was to express its
opinion. He thought the executive ought
TO pay some attention TO the wish Of con-
gress, but did not believe IL would do so
The unfortunate occurrence In Havana
harb0r should be left alone until the
facts are known.

Washington, Feb. % The Evening
Star has the following from the United
States staff correspondent in Cuba: The
inquiry into the Maine disaster pro-
crosses along on definite lines. The 70.
suit so far may be- sumed up in the state
ment that the probabilities that II was
an accident seem 10 decrease with the
progress OF the investigation. The most
intense anxiety is shown by Spanish OH.
cials here, who are In constant communal
cation with Madrid. They realize that
the relation with the United States
were never so much In danger OF
rupture as now. This is the
general feeling. The commercial classes
here are hoI eful OF an American inter-
ventiOh on peaceful lines, but what they
base their hopes on is unknown, The in
surgents continue to win minor military
successes. The autOnOmists are restless
and some leaders seem on the point OF
breaking away from the government.
The army officers continue TO show an
anti-American sentiment. They are ap-
paTently the only class that does not look
for an early crisis.
