This condition Of affairs and n0 one m89u
had q right To .utersfEcT this resolution
let him sit in the White House or e&c-
where.
Mr. Mason declared that notwith-
standing the declaration OF the St Louis
platform nothing had been done MOTH
ing" he said. except 10 pass beAl-
eerpncy resolution in the Senate
and added amidst general laughter, re-
ferring evidently to Speaker Reed. 1T
is not certain whether He viii pass il
on TIE other side"
Mr.. Mason declared Spain was jealous
of our nearness to Cuba and expressed
the opinion that there was an effort IN
Spain to force this country to buy Cuba.
Spain was without honor without cash
and without credit. I'VE do not want
the island, but il necessary to save the
women and children of the island, let
MS for Gods sake buy them" said Mr..
Mason. He declared that the autonomy
which Spain had offered to Cuba was u
gold brick which Spain was trying to
work off ON the President.
He declared that President Mckinley
WAS leing imposed upon until the Span
ish authorities had time to murder and
brihc yet n few more of those to whom
local self government had been promis-
cd.
And yet" said Mr. Mason, 1--WE are
told to he patient. oh! Lord how long.
How long are we to await the termina-
ton OF this dreadful struggle. Are
there not now enough graves in Cuba!
In conclusion, Mr. Mason said:
MIR. President, if there is TO be Il
war, let it be a war not of our seeking.
not a war in which our soldiers shall
carry torches in their hands but let it
be war either I'm defense of our coun-
try or in defense Of the imperishable
jewels OF humanity, jewels more sacred
than life, a war of glory and Of honor. >
On motion Of Mr.. Hale the resolution
was refegred to the Committee on For
eign Relations.
Mr.. Morgan introduced a resolution
requesting the President to send to the
Senate copies of reports made 10y the
Consul General of the United States
at Havana and other consuls of the
United States in Cuba relating to the
war which have been received since the
fourth Of March last and also request
ing the President to inform the Senate
whether any agent of a government
in Cuba has been accredited to the gov
eminent or to the President of the Uni
ted States with authority to negotiate
a treaty of reciprocity with the United
States or any other diplomatic or conf
mercial agreement with the United
States: and whether such has been rec
ognized and received as the representa-
tiv of such government in Cuba
The resolution was allowed to lie on
the table.
At p. m. the Senate adjourned.
