The feature If the proceedings III a sIeech
hy Senator Mason fayorlng the recognition
of Cuba and war.
The report of the Senate committee on
foreign relations as made to the Senate
bv Chairman Davis on the 18th. was a
complete review Of the entire Cuban stu
nfiOn. The Maine disaster Is made the
principal topic Of discussion. and that mat
trr is gone into the first sentence or the
report. 1t holds the Spanish government
10 blame for the murder of 266 seameh
and the loss of our battleship. The mine
which destroyed the vessel must have been
placed by government agents, ana ohly
military officers Of Spain could nave haa
accrsS to the apparatus for diScharging the
mine All the circumstances warrant the
conclusion that the destruction OF the
Maine was an official act 2r was mace pos,
sihle by gross negligence On lhe Palt W oI
Spanish authorities. which Is eqniyaflt III
thfs instance to posftivc criminal action.
The report called for armed lnterVentioh
10 force Spain from the island or ,nba.
senator Hogr objected, and the resolutions
went over for a day. The majority report
was signed by all the members and the
minority report. which differed from the
,ttbpr ONLY in its demand for the recognition
of the Cuban republic was signed by Sen
ator Foraker, Mills and Daniel.
