Of one whom this house very recently con-
demncd.
Cawthra-Beng Of the opinion that this
bill opens the way for unpleasantuess in
the way OF disbursement, / wish to vote no.
swami am an American and ! am in
favor Of the $1,000 for returning the dead
soldiers but am not in favor Of appropriate
ing 5000 for the soldiers, as believe this
Is an insult to our government.
Detweller--1 am as loyal as any member
on this floor to my country and my nag. I
appreciate the worthy patriotism of our boys
at Manila. ] equally appreciate the courage
and daring Of our boys in Cuba. Our gem
eral government has provided and would be
unworthy of their fealty did 1t not provide
for the return of the dead soldiers to this
country. There are provisions / cannot ap-
prove in the bill therefore vote no.
Zelers-My sympathes are with the brave
Nebraska boys who have gone forth to do
battle in foreign lands, but | believe we
should show no partiality in this matter.
The boys who are doing service in Cuba
are as deserving of our recognition as those
who are doing similar service in the Philip.
pines The boys who die of disease in Cuba
should be returned to their friends as we'll
as those who fall in battle in the Philip
pluCSs therefore vote yes.
Prince am in favor of the spirit of this
bill, but cannot vote for the same, as I
do not consider that there are sufficient
guarantees in this bill that the money will
not be diverted from the purposes intended.
therefore vote no.
