Washington. May 16-Discussion of the
administration Of affairs in Cuba by agents
Of the United States occupied the attention
of the Senate during the greater part Of TO-
days session.
Mr. Bacon Of Georgia addressed the Sen
ate az length On his resolution directing the
Committee on Relations with Cuba to make
an inypstiga ton of tht conduct OF financial
affairs q the island H. said that II was
due the people Of this country to know
Just how affairs in the island were being
couSucted Since the disclosures Of the past
few Gavs have Lee. Giad4 with respect -
the alleged mis2ppropria tioIi of funds in
the postal service. ihe obligation upon Con
gress 10 make an appropriation is doublr
heavy.
Every dollar collected down there. h.
seid. belongs 10 the people OF Cnha. and not
a dollar 10 the United States. or 30 any
official Of the United States
Honor Demands Action.
Obligations OF national honor demanded
that We investigate the affairs of cuba and
fee that they have been rightly conducted.
Perhaps at no time had any people con-
s,ituted themselves the agent for trust
such as that We had imposed upon ourselves
In Cuba. In the degree Of honor with which
this duty was performed would the country
be adiudged by the world.
II there were no r,iuors. h. said, Of NAL
administration On the Island Of cuba. the
duty to investigate The business and gov
ern.nertal affairs Of the island wo-ld be
upon Us.
But" he declared we are not urged
alone h., the voice Of duty. The facts urge
the investigation - h. made. There has
been IN Cuba the most extraordinary and
extravagant expenditure Of money
Mr. Bacon then called attention TO the
statements in reports submitted 10y the
Secretary Of War TO the senate. which
showed that during the year lS'a the re-
ceipts IL, cuba were sI5.S;sCl5 while the
expenditures were sii.6S5.so1
If" said the Georgia Senator we had
before Us only the naked fact that the
receipts on the island during a single year
were more than &T6.G.jps and the expendi-
lures more than sl+e9.G0. w would be
bound TO investigate the subject TO see that
this vast sum had been properly aud pru-
IDENTITY handled
Continuing. Mr.. Bacon presented a state
rnent showing the receipts and eNpenr.-
lures Of the various States including
Georgia. Missouri and Massachusetts. They
were in every instance less than those OF
Cuba
These Expenditures in Cuba said Nr
Bacon. are SO much larger in proportion
than those Of many States that even If
there were no rurlors of extravaganza and
fraud and corruption in connection with
Cuban affairs they would call in trumpet
tones for investigation. We have had all
sorts of accusations In the press OF. the
country. and finally there have heen ad-
