public Judgment of the world. Gen.
Grant Mr.. Burrows went on 10 show,
had given strong reasons for not rec
ognizing the Cubans in 1868. Mr.. Bur
rows had sought in vain To find any evil
dence that the Cubans mad a civil gov
ernment. Even Gen. Lee did not claim
its existence. in his correspondence or in
his testimony. ''If the independence of
the insurgents is recognized may not 9TH
er European nations see a menace to
their own sovereignty in the Western
Hemisphere - the senator inquired He was
for speedy and bold intervention, which
would establish for the Cubans a free
and stable government Intervention did
not necessarily mean war unless Spain
should resist. and then Spain would be
the aggressor thus losing the sympathy
of all Christian nations. Americans
should also say to the Cubans You,
too. must keep the peace"
Mr. Burrows closed with an appeal for
united action and said il was a shame
that there should be divided counsels at
such a time Party factions should be
brushed aside and all senators should
support the President.
Words as Ammunition.
Mr. PIatt Of Connecticut spoke next.
He stated that the time for oratory was
past. 1--WE cannot lombard Moro Castle
with oratory."
Harsh epithets only wound our Presi-
dent. and do no one any good, declared
Mr. Platt.
He had from the first been in favor of
peace, and was still Of the opinion that
the present condition was brought about
by the hot words of those who. from
the first. wanted to plunge this country
into a bloody war.
The desire TO discredif the President.
he said. seemed to be as strong as the de-
sire TO indict Spain.
Mr. Platt's speech was given over to
vindicating the course pursued by Mr..
Mckinley.
His eulogy Of the Executive bordered
on the affectionate and the Connecticut
senator insisted that when the trouble
Is settled the name of Mckinley would
still be respected all over the Union.
Like others who have followed this line
Of argument. Mr. Platt regretted that
We were about to go TO war but adj
mtted IL had To come.
Mr.. Bacon followed Mr.. Plat. He de-
ciared that the Senate should not be de-
nounced II it honestly differed from the
recommendations of tile President lie

He differed from the President Mr..
Bacon regarded the recognition OF the
Cuban republic as essential. He said his
colleague also desired him 10 announce

now and has been sneered at in this
chamber
The Georgia senator took sharp
issue with the argument of Mr. Spooner
yesterday on the question of sovereignty
and the prerogatves of the Executive
Mr. Bacon said no man was ever more
sensitive over Legislative encroachments
upon the Executive than President Jack
son, but Jackson in his very last mes
sage conceded that Congress had the
right to recognize the republic of Texas
Mr.. Bacon, after reading from official
1 Spanish records concerning the great
number of Cubans who had been shot
and even put TO death by Spain after they
had become prisoners resented the sneers
of Mr. Platt of Connecticut at General
Gomez. The South was ready to join the
North in war. and let it cost what it may

A hush lies DER the sleeping town,
Only the bells with solemn tone
Telling the hours as they glide
Into the silent great unknown
Night in the city! No tread of feet
upon the walks; no rattle of carriages
on the paved roads; even the tired

cOuches and the poor and wretched on
their plies of straw have at last found
sleep-that precious boon of nature on
which no price has ever been set.

dismal basement with only one four
paned window to let in the daylight.
The sunshine seldom found its way
there except very early in the morning
when faint beam fell on the damp
wall just opposite Aunt Chloe's bed.
Bed? Yes, on packing box lay a
straw mattress and feather pillow
covered with blue checked gingham.
The rest of the furniture was of the
same style. No carpet graced the bare
floor; only strip lay beside the bed.
But how clean that floor was. The
prettiust thing in the room however was
little stand in one corner, covered
with piece of white net work, a gift
Of the Billings family, and on which lay
we'll worn Bible and hymn book.
Aunt Chloe was skilled knitter in
wooden things, especially mittens and
stockings. These were peddled about
the streets by Erastus, whose curly hair
and sparkling black eyes often won for
him success. In this way and by the
generosity of their immediate neigh

finally the last pair of red stockings
slipped from his chubby hands and the
last coin fell chink into the small leather
bag, a full set of glistening white pearls
shone out between the we'll rounded
lips, and he was off like the swift sunny
breezes to spend the afternoon with
Laura. He found her pleased at his
coming. HE made things so tanning, y
she would say. The two were soon en-
gagged in hauling Laura's little wagon
rather rapidly from one corner of the
yard to the other, when Erastus sud.

Laura assured him that she did and

wagon. Wagons Can slide jes' same

low roof of the shed, said, "We can
slide down dat roof powahfull easy"
But Laura energetically declined the
proffered ride, SO Erastus must slide
down alone. With several bold strug-
giles the wagon was drawn to the sum-
NIT of the roof and in few seconds
Erastus with loud shrek came crash
ing down at Laura's very feet, where
she stood dancing with fright. Use

evidently nearly frightened to death,

He stood up eventually and rubbed
himself here and there, apparently
pleased and surprised to find himself
still so available. The wagon was in
deed shattered and Erastus at once de-
clared, "'Pon my word, Miss Laura,

Laura with bewildered look and a
tear-stained face. Laura walked slowly
to the house where the event was soon
forgotten.

sleep as early as usual; somehow the
visions Of those turkeys in Mr.. Billings

why nanny never had turkey for

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The war in.
vestigating commission began its ex.
animation Of witnesses by placing
General Joseph Wheeler on the stand,
Chairman Dodge stated to him the
scope of the commissions duties, and
asked General Wheeler whether he had
any objections to being sworn. He re.
piled that he had none, and Major
Mills, recorder Of the commission, ad.
minieered the oath.
Ex. Governor Beaver conducted the
examination, developing the essential
facts as to General Wheeler's rank and
his command. General Wheeler stated
that he left Tampa for Cuba on June IA
but that he had no knowledge of the
plan of campaign before going aboard
transport. He then told Of the voyage.
On June u, General Shafter ordered
him to disembark the next day, which
he did with a portion of his command.
He rode into the country four miles
that day, and the next moved his
troops to Jaguaracita. He then began
his recommending, arranging with
