mind must come in considering the entire
subject of the relations of the United
States with that government
Considering this portion of It's presenta-
tion the committee says:
1.-THE duplicity, perfdity and cruelty OF
the Spanish character, as they always have
been, are demonstrated still to continue by
their manifestations during the present
war in Cuba. All these circumstances con-
sidered cumulatively, warrant the conclu-
sion that the destruction of the Maine was
comprised either by the official act of the
Spanish authorities land the ascertainment
of the particular person is not materiaD, or
was made possible by negligence on their
part so willing and gross as to be equiva-
lent in culpability to positive criminal ac-
tion.'' '---e
In taking up the more general subjects,
the committee express the opinion that the
United States ought at once to recognize
the independence of the people of Cuba,
and also ought to intervene to the end that
the war and its unexampled atrocities shall
cease, and that such independence shall
become a settled political fact at the earli-
est possible moment by the establishment
by the free action of the people of Cuba
when such action can be had, of govern
ment independent in fact and In form"
Grown Continually. Weaker
The committee asserted that the cause
of Spain has continually grown weaker,
while the cause of the insurgents has grown
stronger, and say that the few reinforce
ments now being sent to Cuba do not sup
ply 1.-THE of Spains losses caused by pat
tie and disease
II ia asserted that the Spanish govern
ment has violated the laws of civilized war
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1898-04-14

'fWould the emperor of Germany hesi-
tate to say you have taken by conquest
from Spain revenues that she had right
to and did pledge to pay the principal and
interest Of bonds due to my subjects.
1.-THE senator from West Virginia would
be the first to say: We ought to pay
rather than to have any fighting"
''There is no authority in the world"
said Mr. Elkins, "and challenge the sena-
tor to show anything that gives authority
to support his proposition in law-any ie-
gal authority"
Mr.. Foraker quoted from Hall to sustain
his contention, and went into the facts re-
1atine 70 the Maine and declared that If a
gun had been fired upon the Maine 1t would
have been an act of war. In proclalmng
it an accident Spain simply proclaimed
what was being announced by her own
government officials.
Mr.. Lodge followed with a speech IN
supnort of the committees resolution he
thought all men were at least agreed on the
proposition that the present situation must
end The president had said that diplomacy
was exhausted and had handed the case
over to congress. Congress had no power,
except the war power, and Wnen presi-
dent pursued this course he practically IN
vited congress to say whether there should
be peace or war.
Mr. Lodge said that General Lee had ad-
vised the committee on foreign relations not
to recognize the insurgents. Inc recoS-
milton could come at any time. To do this
file president had only to invite Mr. Palma
to the white house.
Mr.. Lindsay, of Kentucky, concluded the
discussion for the day with powerful
speech in which he advocated the recogni-
ton of the Cubans and concert of action
between the insurgent army and the United
tates troops in driving the Spanish forces
from the island of Cuba.
Mr.. Daniel, of Virginia, offered a resolu-
ton requesting the president to transmit to
the senate all diplomatic correspondence
between the United States and Spain re-
specting affairs in Cuba, and requesting
him to inform the senate whether this
government has submitted to Spain the
proposition of Cuban independence and the
senate at 5:25 adjourned.
England and Spain Compared
Mr.. Lodge sad that If the Maine had
gone down in an English harbor Great Brit
ain would have asked what reparation the
country could make to the U.ated States.
That would have been the statement, too,
of our own country regarding any similar
disaster in our harbors. Yet what had
Spain done? She has done nothing but
Islander the dead and living officers of the
Maine The man who pressed the button
by Which the nine was fired cannot be
found, but there is not the remotest doubt
that 1t was a Spanish mine.
