ration of Paris This is a truism. They
were neither Of them parties 10 the con-
gress and can not be bound by it's re-
suits. I can not agree, however. to the
pror JsitiOn that the United States has
lost any rights by expressing opinions in
the past upon the subjects now coming
I'D in practical shape. The rights OF the
United States must be regulated by the
measures of her obligations. Her obliga-

It is certainly an untenable proposition
to hold that the United States have es-

right which Spain continues TO possess
because the former has expressed opin-
ions against and the latter in favor OF
such supposed rights.

MORE CUBAN RESOLUTIONS
Preamble to nr PearsOn's Argues the
Case Against spain.

Washington, April 6.-Representative
Pearson of North Carolina, a Republican
member Of the house foreign affairs COM
mittee, today introduced the following
joint resolution:
Whereas. The government of Spain for
years past has been waging war in the
island of Cuba against the revolutionary
forces established in that island, without
making any substantial progress towards
the suppression of said revolution; and.
Whereas. This war, by reason Of the
unusual and uncivilized methods resorted
to, has caused unprecedented loss of life
and destruction of property, not only 10
the opposing forces, but to innocent nom
combatants, by reason of the process
known as recommendation. and has caused
serious injury TO the commercial interests
of the United States, involving the de-
struction of the lives and property Of
many of our citizens, disturbing the bus
mess Of our entire country. endangering
public health and comfort by reason OF
the proximity Of pestilential disease. caUs-
ing our government to expend millions Of
money in patrolling our coasts and in
policing the high seas in order TO maintain
the obligations of neutrality. and. finally
when our forbearance had already been
taxed to it's limit, one Of our battIeships
anchored in the harbor Of Havana. and
on a friendly visit. is destroyed by an act
of unspeakable atrocity; and,
Whereas, There Is no definite prospect
and no present energetic effort on the
part of the government Of Cuba, TO sup
press the revolution, and restore peace to
the island; and,
Whereas. The further prosecution Of
hostilities VIII result il further injury 20
the commercial. financial and business in
terests Of the United States. without bene-
fit to the government of Spain, therefore.
Resolved. That We recognize the indie
pendence Of the republic % Cuba. and
viii accord 70 which government all the
rights and privileges Of sovereign state.
