Criminals Back for
Trial

CRIMES in CUBA from the united states 10 !
the island. AS amended the bill provides
that the alleged criminal shall be pun
ished under the laws of Cuba as admin
istered by Cuban courts.
The last of the appropriation bills-the |
general deficiency was passed las was
also the emergency river and harDor bill, |
providing for numerous surveys and for
certain other public works.
Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Stewart addressed
the senate at length on the questions in
volved in the Government of our insular
possessions.
Mr.. Stewart proposed to strike out the
provision of the proposed law that the
judge shall be satisfied that proper pro-
vision exists for securing to the accused
a speedy and fair trial for such offense
where he will be informed by tho nature
and cause of the accusation and be con-
fronted with the witnesses against him
and have compulsory process for obtain
ing witnesses in his favor and have the
assistance of counsel for his defense
Mr. Hoar antagonized the amendment,
holding that every American had the
rights assured to him in this country, as
ii was proposed by the provision quoted
to give him in Cuba.
The Philippine bill was then taken up
and Mr.. Clay made a speech on the tre-
mendous growth of public expenditures
since early days.
Mr.. Stewart then addressed the senate
on the Philippine question. he argued
that the treaty of Paris was the law OF
the land Every American citizen is
bound by 1t. To advocate the course OF
Agunaldo is to oppose the law OF TINS
country. SympathiZers with Agulnaluo
cause cannot extenuate their course py
the ennnlovment of such terms "imper-
ialism and miltarism.' The advocates
Of Aguinaldo have challenged the forces
of the administration to battle at 'he
nol1s and the challenge has been ac-
cented The result could not be doubt
ful The American people will support
the administration. He said Cuba was
the kew to the gulf of Mexico and should
always be controlled by the United
states. He was inclined to the belief
that Cuba eventually would be annexed
20 the United States by the wish OF
the Cubans themselves.
Mr.. Allen presented resolutions in mem
orv of the late William J., Greene. Eu-
logies were pronounced by Senator'S Al
len. Turner and Thurston.
Resolutions expressive of the sorrow OF
the senate were adopted and then as an
additional mark of respect the senate
at 5:45 D. m, adjourned until MONDAY
