MORE CUBAN ORATORY.

Mason. Psttus and Butler Mako Speeches
in the Senato. ..
WASHINGTON, April lS.-For nearly
three hours the senate had the Cuban
question in it, several phases under
discussion. Three resolutions bearing
upon the question were introduced,
one by Mr.. Lindsay (Ky.), directing
that the contemplated operations
against tho Spanish army in Cuba be
in concert with General Gomez, the
supreme command to be vested in the
commander of the United States forces,
to the end that the independence of the
Oubans be secured; the second by Mr..
Wilson Wash. }. directing the presi.
dent at once to take such steps ~ will

ment, and the third by Mr.. Allen
(Neb.) }, declaring the existence Of war

take steps to stop it and secure to tho
people Of the island q stable and indie.
pendent government. Following tho
Introduction of the resolutions speeches
were delivered by Messrs. Psttus
(Ala. }, Mason Oils and Butler IN. O.
Tenor Of the Speeches.
Judge Pettus presented an argument
that the congress could not delegate to
the president the power to make war
either in general or in special sense
and declared that the making Of war
without an express declaration by con.
Sress would be q disgrace to tho nation
Mr.. Mason's spesch was largely legal

spoke TOR the, "opposiiion'' on the

that IT hsd thus far upheld

WASHINGTON. April IL. - General
Grosvenor Of Ohio. now generally re-
garded AZ tho spokesman Of the presi-
dent on the floor Of the house. in reply

istration, interpreted the reoommenda.

esta blish on the island Of Cuba q gov.
srnment independent Of Spain. 1t
was regarded a. an exceedingly impor.
tant and significant announcement.
Mr.. Lentz, an Ohio Democrat, who
drew tho FIRE Of General Grosvenof last
Thursday, returned to the assault
again, attacking what he termed the
"vacilating" policy Of the president
and asserting that his recommends.
tons really meant that the United
States should -

into acceptance Of Spain's scheme Of
autonomy. Mr.. Hepburn (Rep., la.
made spirited and indignant reply.
denouncing the intimation Of such q
policy az little short Of scoundrelism.
Then came General Grosvenor's impor.
tant announcement, upon which Mr..
Bailey, the Democratic leader, ooun.
tered, taking the position that IL the
president had meant to declare for the
Independence Of Cuba he would have
said so in specific words. The message
was clear and lucid, he said, except Is
to the recomm endations, and it had re-.
quired all the ingenuity Of General
Grosvenor to torture such an interpre-
tation from them. In conclusion he
declared that the president who would
coerce the Cuban patriots would not
live to survive the odium Of the Amer.
lean people.
