All this must be counted in advance and we

freedom has come. but when we have
tory to indemnify us for our sacrifice, be-

be no money to indemnify us because Spain
is bankrupt.
We must find our supreme satisfaction for
our blood and treasure in relieving the cry

would leave the two navies in about

Reserve Wanted.
Orders have been issued to the ma
val reserves of Massachusetts,, Mary
land, Michigan, New York and New
Jersey to hold themselves in readiness
for duty on patrol ships. It is the in
tention of the department to shape all
matters for any emergency, but the
militia will not actually go into service
aboard the ships until it is certain
that hoStilities are to enSue.
The patrol ships will be assigned to
the Atlantic coast line and form part

Senator SpOoher Warm in His Praise
- of Mckinley.


- of Mckinley.
As Mr.. Spooner was recognized the scene
In the chamber was a notable one. The
throng of auditors both in the galleries and
on the floor had greatly increased and among
those present were many men OF national
fame and prominence, including members of
the supreme court. He said: t..~.
sincerely lament this debate. Without
unduly criticising any of my colleagues on
this floor, do deprecate the direction the
been manifested.
I agree with the senator from Colorado
QMr. WolcotD that we are on the threshold
of war, and it is an ugly prelude to the
roar Of cannon and shrieks of the wound

taeks, with suspicion and innuendo.. his
be our leader. We should rally round him
and uphold his hands rather than seek to
minimize his influence with the nations
Of the world. We should rather say: God
bless you in your effort. You lead-we
will follow"
Mr.. Spooner then entered upon brilliant
and elaborate defense Of the conduct of the
president throughout the pending crisis.
1t had been said that the army Of the
United States would be sent to Cuba to
plant IT, It's flag on the grave Of Maceo and
sible. The president had never done an act
or uttered word that could be tortured into
any such meaning. He maintained that it
was the purpose Of this country to drive the
spaniards from Cuba, but IT, afterwards,
Gomez should be unable to guard the wom-
en- and protect the property of the island from
his followers 1t would be not only the right
but the duty of the United States to lay its
rcpressive hand upon them to prevent such
acts.
War to Free Cuba.
He held that the committee resolutions
were illogical and inconsistent and regretted
that he could not give them his cordial in
dorsement He made this statement, he
said, with the full knowledge that we were
about to go to war, and to go to war, too,
to make Cuba free.
Mr.. Spooners statement that If Gomez and
his insurgents were free and Independent they
would have a flag, brought an interruption
from Mr.. Foraker who said that from the
moment OF the blowing up Of the Maine the
flag Of the Cuban republic had been half
masted and was in that position today.
any doubt that Cuba would be free and in
dependent when the United States interviewed,
to which Mr.. Spooner instantly replied: 81
have doubt that when we intervene Cuba
will be free and independent but that is Just
the reason why do not believe they are
free and Independent now.'
Attention was called by Mr.. Tillman to the
fact that France had recognized the colonies
of this country.
Mr.. Spooner replied that France had recog-
nized the American colonies rather for hate
Of England than for love Of America.
$40 you think interjected Mr.. Mason
Ql), chat France hated England then more
than the American people hate Spain today?'
With deep feeling Mr.. Spooner responded:
I'VE are not going to war with Spain for
with Spain because we cannot longer listen
to the cries Of starving, suffering women
and children. We are going over there to
abate a nuisance"

He said up to now he had been for
peace, but that time seemed to have
gone by and he wanted to do every
thing possible to support the president
in the needs of the hour.
II WISH" said Mr.. Daniel, ITO cast
my vote in my own good time without
pressure behind me. War will wait a
day. Possess yourselves in peace, gen.
tlemen, while the awful issue Of war or
peace Is decided. The men who declare
this war are not the men who will
prosecute it in the field. They are not
the men who will sustain the bullet tat
tered standards before the enemy They
are not the men, even, who will pay
the taxes imposed to carry on the war.
Let the senate go on in it's own meas
ured tread, amid no rancorous scenes.

first step should be to write on the
statute book Of the country a recog-
milton Of the great Cuban republic,
which has won a place among the in
dependent nations by its own valiant

Mr.. Daniel went on to say that the
Interpretation he placed upon the rec
Ommendation Of the president was that
the United States should lay hostile
hands on both Spaniards and Cubans to
stop the rebellion, instead of upholding
the insurgents in their grand fight for
liberty.

THE LIE PASSED.
Most Sensational Incident of the
Long Debate.

Long DeDate.
When Mr. Teller concluded another effort
to reach an agreement and adjourn was made
by Mr.. Jones (Ark.) and this time with sue
cess, but 1t led to the most exciting incident
of the day. The lie was passed. as it was
IN IN the house Sc: on Wednesday. and while no
house followed, the sensation it caused was
quite as profound.
Mr. Jones proposed that the senate adjourn
until tomorrow at 10 O'Clock, and that to-
morrow Messrs, White (Cal.), Gallery (La.)
and Wellington CMd), who are opposed to any
action by, congress and whose view of the
question had not yet been presented, be al
lowed four hours, other senators to be con-
fined to fifteen minutes each, with the ex-
ception of Mr.. Platt Comm, who should be
given half an hour. After some explana-
tons. Senators Caffery, White and Wellington
in turn gave their Consent. Mr.. Money

those who seem SO anxious to fight have con-
sumed all the time"
This caused suppressed ripple of laugh
ter after which Mr.. Money yielded to the
solicitations Of those about him and said
he would not object.
All looked serene, when Mr. Chandler, who
is given to rather vitriolic jests &C.
casions, dropped a remark that caused an
explosion such as the dignified senate has
not witnessed in many years.

and With Hopes of Success-AlI
Four of the American Liners
Chartered for the Navy.
WASHINGTON. April Is. - Several
important and decisive steps In the
work of war preparations were taken
by the navy department today 1t
was decided to assign the naval re-
Massachusetts, Maryland and Michi-
gan to the five auxiliary cruisers here
after to be known as patrol boats.
These ships are the Prairie, the Dixie,
the Yankee, the Yosemite and either
the Venezuela or Yorktown, the latter
of which was purchased today.
The question Of American line steam
ers was also wound up today, with
the decision to charter all four of them,
and the New York. The two first men
toned have already been acquired by
the department, though the form of
acquisition was tentative, the depart
ment being undecided whether it would
purchase these two only or charter all
four. With the announcement that
these magnificent ships had been added
to the auxiliary fleet, came the state
ment that the department also had
purchased the Yorktown of the Old
Dominion line, and the Yumuri of the
Ward line.
With these additions, the fleet of con-
verified vessels now includes the pick
of the ocean liners and coaSting steam
ers, running under the American flag.
AS in all instances, the prices paid
are withheld by the department.
After Cruisers.
But Of greater moment than any Of
these developments was the reopening
of negotiations for the purchase Of two
warships and several torpedo boats
from Chile and Argentina. One of the
cruisers is the Chilean O'Higgins, just
completed at an English yard and re-
garded as one Of the most formidable
of her class af1oat. These negotiations
are being conducted through Charles
r. Flint, Of New York, who has large
commercial and financial interests in
both countries. Mr.. Flint was at the
navy department today and held ex-
tended conferences with the secretary
and other officials. While Mr.. Flint
would not say how far the negotiations
had progressed, he intimated that the
international affairs of Chile and Ar
gentlne were assuming such a sat-
| iSfactory shape as to warrant the pre-
sumption that they were not averse
| to parting with a portion Of their ma
| vieS.
| Mr.. Flint said that the ablest and

and Argentine are In favor Of reducing

outstretched defantly toward the senator

replied Mr. Wellington, like a fash.
Lie Direct.
Then you He." came from the Mississippi
senator SO quickly that 1t sounded like an
echo or crack of a pistol after the fash
of the explosion.
The senate was electrified. Senators looked
at each other in blank amazement and the
galleries rose en- masse and leaned over as
the two senator's faced each other.
Il call the gentleman to order. II the gen.
tleman can indulge in that kind of CONVEX
sation ON the floor Of the senate" said Mr..
Wellington. walking toward his antagonist,

BY this time all was confusion.
The vice president was rapping for order,
and senators had risen to their feet. But the
defiant tones that rang out above the din.

Money.

Vice President Hobart
Mr. Wilson CWash.l broke the tension at
this point by stepping forward into the Gen.
ter aisle and asking in bland voice.
Whether a declaration of war would be
In order" The senators and the galleries
laughed heartily at this sally, and meantime
friends Of the bellicose senators surrounded
them and led them away into the cloak
rooms.
A few minutes afterward. subsequent to the
adoption of the Jones agreement, Mr.. Money
emerged from the cloak room, and, amid an
impressive silence, said:
"Mr. President, l desire to say that under
