impassioned rhetoric and manifesto
lions of approval of war sentiment. He
did not feel disposed to sneer at ex-
pressions of emotions over outrages of
the Cuban war. for they indicated true
natures. They called for his profound
est respect. AS for him self he felt like
entering upon the Cuban question with
the seriousness with which he would at
tend church. If we are going to enter
upon course of action in Cuba II
should be done as an act OF justice and
not Of revenge. He did not accept the
doctrine In this connection of and eye
for an eye and u tooth for II tooth.
Mr.. Hoar said that II we departed
from the rules OF International
law we cannot blame the nations of
the world for sympathizing with Spain.
AS to recognizing the insurgents, Mr..
Hoard asked how we could recognize
a community as the government of the
islam which had only one-third OF the
population.
other senators insisted that the Gu
bans who sympathized with the in
surgents made up II population of near
~ seventy per cent of the population.
Mr.. Hoar deprecated the exhibition
of feeling toward the President, who
was, he said, In diplomacy the repre-
sentative of all of the people and what
the President does we as a people do.
For himself. he not only approved what
the President had done, but what he
had refrained from doing.
MIR. Hoar said that In case of war
we could count upon many disasters
like that Of the Maine and a great in
crease Of the public debt. He said that
Senator Turner who represented only
half a state, was making the President,
who represented i5 states, the subject
OF the same kind OF objurations that
were inflicted upon Washington. He
predicted that McKlnley's fame would
not suffer.
Mr.. Hoar said it>would be well FOR
the impetuous people of this day to re-
member Abraham Llncolns ccunsels in
the early stages of the civil war and
not to forget Bull Run.
Mr.. Hoar did not agree with Senator
Foraker that belligerency should have
been recognized. This recognition
would not have done the insurgents
any good, and it would have given the
Spanlards authority to search our
ships.
ENGLAND's SYMPATHY MAY BE
NEEDED.
Mr.. Hoar spoke OF the sympathy OF
England at the present crisis, saying
that 1t might be needed before long
and that 1t was not wise to reject 1t.
This sympathy he said had been won
for us by the bearing of the President.
He said he concurred in the views OF
the President regarding the recogni-
tion Of the present Cuban government.
To recognize 1t would be to disown our
own country's history,
Mr.. Hoar took issue with Senators
Foraker and Lindsay that the United
States would be responsible for the
Spanish debt in case OF Intervention.
While he admired the course of the in
surgents In many things 1t must not
be forgotten that they had begun their
system of destruction before the re-
concentrate orders were issued.
FAvoRS INTERVENTION.
Mr.. Hoar expressed the opinion that
the proper course was intervention He
said he would accept the House resolu-
tons, and indicated that he preferred
them TO the Senate resolutions. He
though the outrage on the Maine was
instance of proof of Spain's incapacity
to rule Cuba, and he declared the in
cident would have Its own considera-
ton. He believed the explosion a premedl
tated act, of which Spanish officials
We're guilty.
Mr.. Hoar held the Spanish govern
ment responsible, and that 1t should be
held responsible. Yet to acquit Blanco
as General Lee had done would be To
acquit Spain of direct agency, as he was
the responsible representative of Spain.
III necessary, Mr.. Hoar thought the
Maine affair enough to Justify war.
stu he thought honorable PREPARATION
might possibly be secured without war.
Mr.. Hoar spoke of the board of in
qulry as a good explanation of delay.
He said he would vote for the House
resolution. and held that its adoption
would lead to war. He wanted a
united country behind any war move
ment. and with the sanction of the
civilized world.
Mr.. Hoar was applauded when he
closed.
Mr. Turpie Gnd) followed Mr.. Hoar
with speech for the recognition of the
Cuban republic.
Senator Davis tried to get unanimous
consent on the Cuban resolution at
o'clock tomorrow. Senator Caffrey OBJ
jected. Senator Davis at the request OF
many senators says he will move an
adjournment at about Q o'clock.
