dents message did not. after the nrst
reading. receive the Endorsement OF a
majority Of the senators. and many ex-
cused themselves from speaking about
Ii until they could have time for care

jections were based on h ground that
1t did not go far enough in recognising
the belligerency of the Cubans. A
large number of democratic senators
refused to express themselves on the
! ground that as they could not speak In
complimentary terms they would say
| nothing at all. The most significant
utterance on the subject Of the mes-
sage was hat of Senator Foraker. re-

not give him unlimited power for armed
Intervention and appropriate money tt
feed the starving Cubans, not knowing
whether the Intervention Is to result In
Cuban Independence or in the retention
OF Spanish sovereignty.

paper and said he thought 1t would

able in all respects and especially SO II
that it points out the way whereof,
Cuba can get a good government ant
be free and without bringing US int
awkward international complications.
Representative Dockery of Mo. Thu
