ginia, addressed the senate in sunnort
OF mis- resolution providing for the an
nexatlon of Cuba. Elkins said that his
resolution had no bearing on Cuban
reciprocity. 1t simply voiced his iude-
ment that Cuba ought to be annexed
10 the United States and the sooner the
peen for our declaration that the war
was not Waged for conquest or aggran-
oi2ement known as the Teller amend
ment, Cuba would today be a part of
the United States. This amendment
proved both mischievous and unwise.
There was fierce opposition to the an
nexation of Texas, but there is not a
loyal true American to be found with
IN the confines of the republic who
would give up Texas and within a few
years after Cuba becomes a state of
our union, not an American will be
found willing to part with the isand.' |
Elkins' Cuban resolution was referr- |
ed to the committee on Cuban affairs |
A bill was passed to give Rear Admiral |
Schley the pay of rear admiral on the
active list instead of the retired rear
