Washington, Dec. 17.-The senate
was prompt in taking up the Cuban
reciprocity bill and Mr.. Spooner was
Immediately recognized. He began by
remarlIing that it was strange that the
senate should find it necessary to
spend SO much time in consideration
Of bill which had been so promptly
accepted by the house. This attitude.
he declared, was inconsistent with the
attitude of senators who not so long
ago were engaged in accusing the
white-faced patient man who then oc-
cupied the executive mansion with ul-
terror motives in standing out against
war with Spain for the liberation Of
Cuba.
Mr.. Spooner spoke of the varying
position of the opponents of the BIZ
and especially Of the introduction of
the Newlands resolution inviting Cuba
to become part of the United States,
deprecating it and saying that he
hoped it would be postponed indefi-
nitely, because, he said, sometimes in.
vitations are regarded as commands

STATE DEPARTMENT DEMANDS
REDRESS FROM TURKEY FOR
ASSAULT ON CONSUL.
S0uNDLY THRASHED FIVE POLICEMEN
LATER INFORMATION SAYS MR..
DAVIS MADE A MOST VlGOR.
Gus RESISTANCE.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Acting Secre-
tary Of State Adee has taken firm
stand in the matter of the assault
upon United States Consul W. r. Davis
by Turkish officials and police at
Alexandretta. He has cabled Minister
I.etsbman to present the facts to the
Turkish government and inform that
government that the case is one SEEM
Ing to invite an expression of regret
and reparation. The state department
does not indicate what measure Of
reparation is expected, but it is under
stood that the Turkish government
certainly will, by removal or other
wise. punish the offending Turkish Of
ficials and compensate Attarian for the
losses and injuries he has sustained
The Turkish government is willing to
compensate Attarian and deport him.
It Is said that the main otfense, the
assault upon the United States consul.
Is a matter of gravity in international
law. The consul has found refuge for
the time being at Beirut, awaiting in
structiOns from the state department
or Minister l.eishman as to whether or
not he shall return to his post The
information that reached the depart
ment is to the effect that Mr.. Davis
was acting entirely within his rights
and powers and that while engaged
in protecting, as was his duty, a
naturalized American citizen he was
set upon by five Turkish policemen
and dragged along the ground. 1t also
appears incidentally that upon recov
ering his footing the consul promptly
and soundly thrashed all five of the
policemen. Mr.. Leishman, our minis
ter at Constantinople, under the de-
partment's instructions, has made a
quick inquiry into the assault and.
ile the detailed mail report OF: the
result Of his Investigation has not yet
reached the state department, Acting

vices warranted him in taking positive
action
