Passed by House-Change
Are Favored by Sulzer
J tBy Associated Press.)


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-An objec-
ton by Senator Hepburn, of Idaho. who
protested against precipitous action,
prevented the United States senate from
voting today to approve the action OF
President Taft on Decer-ber 10 in noti-
flying Russia that the United States de-
sired to terminate the treaty of 1882
with that country.
The senate will meet tomorrow at
moo instead of p. m. as usual. to take
up the further consids Grafton OF the
matter. Under the rules of the senate
an objection by a SINGLE senator can
carry a newly-introduced resolution
over one day. Senator Hepburn also
urged that the senate consider the
matter in executive session when 1t met
tomorrow.
The president, in a message to the
senate, telling of his act of abrogation
also told of notification to Russia OF a
desire on the part of this country to
negotiate new and modern treaty to
take the place of the old one.
Senator Hepburn spoke at length on
his motion and seemed to :riticise mem-
bers who had publicly expressed their
opinion.
IT did not vote in the newspapers
yesterday" he said.
IT do not think the senate should
dispose of a matter of such magnitude
in an off-land manner.
,"It looks too much like the steam
roller process to bring into the senate
a resolution and message and ask i'm
mediate consideration. 1t looks too
much like sentiment instead of judg-
ment"

sire to exhibit it at various ports Of

ceived from exhil lion interests, for the
rear portion OF the hull which can be
filled up with a ibulkhead and towed

Former Cuban Consul Tells
How Destruction of Ship
Could Have Been Avoided by
Needing Warning
Especial Dispatch to The Journal.


BEDFORD, Iowa, Dec. 16-About
midnight. little over "a hours before
the battleship Maine was blown up in
Havana harbor. A. c. Brice, of this city.
then consul at Mantanzas, was warned
that the American war vessel was co
be destroyed, but United States officers
in Havana failed to give credence to the
story until after the disaster. Upon re-
turning to the United States Mr.. .Brice
told the story to President Mckinley
and the secretary of state, and upon re-
quest of the president information has
been withheld from the public until
now.
Since the report of the naval board
has been given out the former consul
feels at liberty to make his statement.
Two tights before the blowing up of
the Name said Mr.. Brice, Il had been
down in the city until a late hour, and
had just returned to my residence. 1t
was about midnight when 1 was call
ed to the door. 1 wondered who could
be coming al that hour and. looking out
of tho window, / recognized my porter,
who occupied a room in the house
Els there any one hereT he asked,
when / opened the door. / told him /
vas alone. When he had been seated he
inquired again as to the presence of any
one in the house. 1 again assured him.
He said he had matter of great Inn
portance to tell, but only on promise
that should never mention his name
with ii. He seemed to have faith IN my
promise. but said IL his mission ever
became known it meant death to him.
He was not an American.

said there was no time for delay. After
his departure I sent for my secretary.
who arrived about O'Clock. In tho
meantime / prepared dispatch to Fitz-
hugh Lee, consul general at Havana. 1t
was impossible to send 1t any way ex-
cept by a special messenger, and l was
unable to go myself until afternoon.
HE returned as / was leaving and re-
ported that no credence was given the
warning. 1t was difficult to believe, but
something, PERHAPS the earnestness with
which II was told by my informant.
made me feel that it was true. My
visit to Havana did not change the sit
uation.
THE next morning when I met Cap
tain Sigsbee the first thing he said was,
If I had only paid attention to your
message.
When 1 came to the United States
my first official call was upon President
Mckinley, and to him and the. secre-
tarY of state told the incident 1 shall
never forget the appearance of grief
upon McKinley's face. He asked me
not to make public my information at
that time. Knowing the state Of the

making to avoid war. IL possible, 1 obey
ed his request. since the recent re-
port of the naval board 1 feel at liberty
