president of the United States to use the land and naval forces I of the Polled States to carry these resolutions nto pffect Whereas The abhorrent conditions which have existed for more than three I years in the island of Cuba so near i or own borders have shocked the moral sense In the people of the United i States have been a disgrace to Chris tion civilization culminating as they have in the destruction of a United A i r States battleship with 266 of its offl cers and crew while on a friendly visit in the harbor of Havana and cannot longer be endured and has been set forth by the president of the United I States in his message to congress of I April 11 ISiS upon which the action of congress was invited therefore FREE CUBA Resolved By the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled 1 That the people of the Island of 1 Cuba are and of right ought to be free and independent and that the government govern-ment of the United States hereby recognizes rec-ognizes the republic of Cuba as the true and lawful government of that island I 2 That it is the duty of the United States to demand and the government of the United States does hereby demand de-mand that the government of Spain of Spain at once relinquish its authority and government in the island of Cuba and withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban watprs TO MAKE WAR 3 That the president of the United States be and he hereby is directed and i empowered to use the entire land and st naval forces of the United States and to call into the actual service of the I United States the militia of the several II sev-eral states to such an extent as maybe I may-be necessary to carry these resolutions Into effect I 4 That the United States hereby I disclaims any disposition or intention to exercise sovereignty jurisdiction or I control over said island except for the pacification thereof and asserts its determination de-termination when that is accomplished to leave the government and control of II the Island to its people THE PROCEEDINGS This was the fourth day of the debate de-bate upon the war resolutions in the I senate Thus far the only radical differences dif-ferences of opinion developed are upon the advisability of the recognition by the United States of the Independence I of the Cuban republic All senators approve action the only differences beIng be-ing as to the methods to be employed the general desire being to place the United States in a favorable position before the people of this country as well as before the civilized nations of the world I In accordance with the agreement f reached last night the senate convened promptly at 10 oclock and after the i transaction of some routine business the resolution of the foreign relations I committee was laid before the senate I Few senators were on the floor at the I time and Mr Teller suggested the lack I of a quorum saying It was due to senators i sen-ators who were to speak that a quorum I quo-rum be present After about 15 minutes I I a quorum appeared I SENATOR CANNON I Mr Cannon Utah was then recognized recog-nized and spoke in favor of immediate j imme-diate decisive action and for the recognition rec-ognition of the independence of the I Cuban republic Mr Allen Neb said he wanted to I call attention to the remarkable scene i that had occurred at the White House Ion I-on April 7 He referred to the call of the representatives of the six great powers upon the president and to the I exchange of notes on the Hispano American situation He declared that I no similar scene had ever been witnessed wit-nessed In this country ALLENS TIMELY PROTEST I I want to register my protest said Mr Allen against the representatives I of the socalled powers of Europe entering I en-tering the White House and telling this country what it shall do I can eal lt I not understand why the president did not inform them that this country would not tolerate any interference from them yet here is the llrst step toward the breaking down of the Monroe Mon-roe doctrine and the destruction of the nation And it is understood that these same socalled powers are to go j further and make another assault upon the White House with more pressing demands Within six months these same powers will be urging the United States to agree to arbitration In I order that our liabilities for Cuban bonds may be established I I Mr Burrows Mich supported the position assumed in this crisis by the president and urged against the recognition recog-nition of the present republic of Cuba Mr Platt Conn who in accordance j with the agreement reached last night I I was accorded a half hours time devoted I de-voted his address to a strong and eloquent elo-quent expression of his hope for peace and a defense of the president He I thought the time for oratorical and Impassioned utterance had passed I I ldu IOrOa badaIOrOa Oratory would not bombard Moro Castle Cas-tle Slinging angry words may wound I the president but they cannot pierce J the armor of the Spanish battleships i The United States would not be rec I i reant to its duty or a great trust He I held that the president and house of representatives had placed the pending question upon high ground The senate I sen-ate was called upon to place it upon lower ground on untenable ground that would not be approved by the nations of the earth I I deplore It It Is unpardonable declared Mr Platt He thought to I recognize the present republic which General Lee had testified existed only In skeleton would be little short of n < J tIk J 4I + Ga4c 1 CUBAN RESOLUTION i I i t PASSED BY THE i SENATE I RESOLVED By the Senate and House of Representatives f Rep-resentatives of the United States of America in Congress i Con-gress assembled 1 FIRST That the people of the Island of Cuba are and of right ought to be free and independent and t g that the government of the United States hereby recognizes f rec-ognizes the Republic of Cuba as the true and lawful J 1 8 government of that Island v SECOND That it isthe duty of the United States to demand and the government of the United g States does hereby

President of the United States f be and he hereby is directed and empowered to use I V the entire land and naval forces of the United States g I and to call into the actual service of the United

or intention to exercise sovereignty i sover-eignty jurisdiction or control over said island except V for the pacification thereof and asserts its determination determina-tion when that is accomplished to leave the govern 0 ment and control of the island to its people e I 4 > 9 + < > 4 > I folly Before extending such recognition recogni-tion Mr Platt said it would be necessary neces-sary for the United States to strike from history the words of many ol the nations statesmen and give up the Monroe doctrine I SENATOR CLARK Mr Clark Wyo said that whatever might be the final wording of the resolutions reso-lutions adopted by congress they would mean only war war with one of the most cruel l and barbarous nations in the world In the circumstances the nation should not hesitate He had hoped that a peaceful solution of the difficulty might have been found but although the president had acted with a dignity equanimity and patriotism seldom equaled war was at hand The diplomacy of the entire world could not now prevent it For the murder of the heroes of the Maine war was the only reparation Despite the belief be-lief of senators the evidence of our court of Inquiry was such that if it were submitted to any court in the land a verdict of murder in the first degree would be returned Mr Pascoe Fhu spoke in favor of the recognition of the independence of the Cuban republic He believed too that when our troops were landed In Cuba they ought to act In consort with the forces under General Gomez The other senator from Florida Mr Mallory said none desired war If that calamity could be averted and he regretted re-gretted that the president had suspended sus-pended diplomatic negotiations for through them war might have been averted SENATOR FAULKNER Mr Faulkner W Va thought only one of two courses was open to this country either to submit to the Indignities indig-nities Insult and crimes of Spain or that the American congress make such an utterance as would remove every doubt as to our intention to present the question for arbitration by the word The mailed hand of oppression oppres-sion must be lifted from the lacerated shoulders of Cuba LESS TALK MORE POWDER Mr Wilson Wash spoke in favor of the majority resolution We I want less oratory and more powder less rhetoric and more rams he said Patriotism Pat-riotism said he was higher than business busi-ness interests love of country dearer than the dollars Mr Pettus Ala followed Mr Wilson Wil-son and attacked the house resolution as being unconstitutional He insisted insist-ed that congress had the right to declare de-clare war and said that the president was in his high office to execute the mandate of congress He bitterly arraigned ar-raigned the presidents senatorial advisers ad-visers saying that the senate was the executives advisers and not his senatorial sena-torial friends Mr Piatt concluded with an appeal for calm and deliberate action such as would be approved by all future generations A strong appeal for recognition of the independence of the present Cuban republic was made by Mr Bacon Ga HE IS FOR PEACE Mr Wellington Md followed Mr Bacon and as he arose to speak there was a stir in the galleries The speaker said he was thoroughly satisfied that there was no good reason for the United States going to war with Spain No war could he justified at any time by any nation unless all diplomatic agencies had been exhausted and he could not see that result In the message mes-sage of the president I will vote for peace I will stand for peace as long as peace is possible he said I do not stand here as an apologist for the Spanish policy I believe the people of Cuba had a right to rebel against the colonial policy of Spain But we as a nation are outside the situation We have nothing to do Ji i i with the rebellion now going on in the I I island Mr Wellington argued that the message mes-sage of the president has been wholly I misconstrued that instead of an appeal ap-peal to congress to sanction war it I was exactly the reverse but the war I frenzy was abroad and congress was rushing hopelessly Into hostilities I PRESIDENT IS FOR PEACE The president I believe in his I heart feels that war Is not necessary I He read the closing paragraph of the I presidents message and placing his interpretation upon it said that the words indicated that the executive still believed that the armistice granted to the insurgents would yet work out peace Passing to the Internal dissensions existing in Spain he said that the United States would be held responsible responsi-ble should the Carlists overthrow the present dynasty which he hoped would continue many years EXONERATED SPAIN Upon the question of responsibility as to the destruction of the Maine Mr Welington passionately said that he could not think that Spain blew up our vessel If so then the responsibility rests upon General Blanco in command at Havana and I cannot believe that General Blanco would sanction such an outrage One touch of nature makes the whole world kin even though the kinship be with a Spaniard Span-iard I iardIf If war must be Maryland will be with you but In this fateful hour she Is ror oeace Mr Turpie Ind in order to make perfectly clear the resolution of the minority mi-nority of the foreign relations committee commit-tee offered an amendment to insert after the word independent th following fol-lowing And the government of the I United States hereby recognizes the republic re-public of Cuba as the true and lawful government of that Island CAFFERY COUNSELED UNITY Mr Caffeiy was then recognized I have stood before on the brink of war lie said Although young then I counseled coun-seled moderation but my opinion was swept to the winds and I was carried alcng with my leople Into the most colossal co-lossal war In the history of civlized nations na-tions Our people were a unit then If war Is to be declared we ought to be a unit now But It seems that whoever dares to utter a thought in opposition to hasty or Illconceived action subjects sub-jects himself to the gibbet In the popular pop-ular breast Mr Hawley followed Mr Caffery He said he could not vote for a declaration declara-tion that Cuba Is free because as a matter of fact she is not Mr White said it was disagreeable to dissent but there was nothing to do but to follow his own convictions Mr White asked the senate to pause and reflect upon the issues involved before be-fore casting the die Spain had been our friend and It is i not becoming the committee on foreign relations to return re-turn to the days of the Duke of Alva and the incuisition ANOTHER MAINE DISBELIEVER Mr White said there was no glory in conquering Spain and the United States was sufficiently strong to do justice The future must judge us and we should act new so as to secure its approval He expressed the opinion that if the president were left alone Cuba would be free without the shedding shed-ding of a drop of blood Mr White did not think the time had come fjjJr war and he proceeded to assert thaj neither the Maine incident nor the cruelties in Cuba should be sufficient to incite to hostilities until other means of adjustment had been tried and had faIled As for the Maine incident Mr White said the responsibility had not beqn Continued on Page 2 I 4i W c tSfN TE STANDS fOR I MEllICANPATRIOTiSM Continued from Page 1 fixed He thought an Indemnity should not be waived Would not this be be ter than to kill many people who wee in i no way responsible for the Maine disaster Mr White argued that regardless re-gardless of the report of the committee commit-tee on foreign relations there had ben no judicial investigation of the Maine affair Such an investigation was rendered ren-dered impossible in this country by our strong prejudice Mr White said that while opposed to war he felt sure i i must corns there was no doubt of our triumph and tJen there would be no dissenters His opinion I opin-ion would be subordinated to the majority ma-jority and when the time came for acton ac-ton all would be marching to the front shoulder to shoulder and hand to hanJ Mr McEnery La said he would vote for the recognition of the Cuban republic closing his remarks with a tribute to a reunited country as is being be-ing witnessed today Mr Gear la supported the majority major-ity resolution Mr Gallinger X I read a number of autograph letters from Cuban military itary commander showing the high patriotism which actuated them in their struggle for liberty ELKINS REASONS Mr Elklns W Va said It was plain war was inevitable and could not be avplded His reasons In opposing the recognition of Cuba were The insurgents insur-gents had not won their independence as nations seeking recognition always have the insurgent government is by its constitution only temporary and such recognition was contrary to American doctrines for a hundred years He thought the resolutions as presented by the foreign relations committee com-mittee ought to be amended so as to provide that the recognition should be given by the presidentthe only power that could give it Mr Elkins challenged chal-lenged the statements of Mr Proctor as to the conditions on the island Mr Proctor Will the senator accept the statements in the consular reports Mr Elklns Id a thousand times rather accept your statement but there are other men not perhaps so eminent emi-nent as the senator from Vermont who report a state of affairs entirely different differ-ent from that reported to this senate Mr Elklns declared that the United States ought to take Cuba Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands in order that we might have some compensation for the enormous war debt I afterwards It was desired to give the Cubans their Independence he was willing a he had always believed they ought to have i Mr Clay Ga said he wasanxious to see the question adjusted without var for the people of the south did not want war but as war was now inevitable in-evitable he believed in making it upon the best resolution offered These he minority thought were those submitted by the mlnorI I PROCTOR REPLIED Mr proctor rplied to some of the I statements made by Mr Elkins The later he said had received his information infor-mation from Mr Atkins of Boston whose sugar plantation had been protected tected by the Spanish troops He thought it too late now to talk War was upon us and we ought to meet it with a united front Mr Pritchard N C contented himself him-self with announcing after a brief eulogy eu-logy of the president that he would support the house resolution I Mr Nelson Inn declared that the question as to the power of the president presi-dent to recognize the Cuban republic I was irrelevant Congress had the au thority and ought to exercise ito accept ac-cept that brave young republic as our ally in the coming war Mr Perkins Cal announced himself him-self in favor of recognition of the independence in-dependence of the Insurgents of Cuba The assassination of the sailors of the Maine was sufficient warrant for us togo to-go to war THURSTON CONSISTENT Mr Thurston Neb who followed him declared hisintention to vote to recognize the republic of Cuba He was a Republican and he had been urged by every Republican to vote against the independence resolution because be-cause It was of Democratic origin But on this matter he was more than a zen Republican was an American citi zenMr Mr Morgan Ala defined his position posi-tion briefly giving his reason for declining de-clining to concur in the minority resolution reso-lution to recognize the independence of the republic His position was not misunderstood by the Cuban people His views had been submitted to President Palma and were concurred in by him He said we should not recognize recog-nize the independence without a stipulation stipu-lation which would prevent the possibility possi-bility of General Gomez making a treaty with Spain that would leave us in the lurch After Mr Kenny Del had stated his position in favor of the recognition recogni-tion of independence the debate came to an abrupt close Hale and several other senators who were scheduled to present their views refrained When tho bell rang for a vote at exactly actly 730 p m there was a great stir in the senate and in the galleries Senators Sen-ators came trooping in from the cloakrooms cloak-rooms and the spectators many of whom had been in the galleries for 12 hours leaned over impatiently VOTE ON INDEPENDENCE The first vote was taken

then offered his substitute sub-stitute for 0 declaration of war I was laid on the table ea 8 nays 5 The Messrs Mason nays vere Maon Morgan Pettigrew Turner and Wilson sonThe supreme moment had come Mr Hale Maine who has been the main stay of the opposition to radical not no-t i i I ton on the Cuban question arose His first words sounded a warning The I action the senate is about to take he i began speaking slowly and impressively impres-sively places i Jn deadlock with I the house and the president of the United States I is a remarkable I spectacle we are presenting to the civilized world I PERTINENT DEMAND But he got no further Mr Teller and Mr Wolcott were both on their feet The latter declared de-clared passionately that Mr Hales i statement was most important He said a a Republican he demanded to kiow upon what authority I was made I ask the senator whether he Is authorized by the president to declare de-clare that our contemplated action will place us in deadlock with the president Before Mr Hale could reply Mr Teller made the point of order that it was unparliamentary for a senator to refer to the action of the house or the president The vice president read the rule and asked Mr Hale to proceed ceed in order The later said ho proposed briefly to state the reasons for his opening statement He did not pretend he sid to speak by authority of the president or to know in any contingency his future action But 1 do know If the motion of the senator from Minnesota prevails he continued it will bring the senate Into deadlock with the president a shown by the message he has submitted sub-mitted to us HALE PROCEEDED TO WARN Mr Teller again called Mr Hale to order and Again the vice president had the rule read Mr Hale seemed but slightly disturbed by these interruptions in-terruptions Proceeding again he commented upon the remarkable spectacle the senate presented We are not asked to legislate he continued upon ordinary matters but upon a grave national question that involves war I is proposed hereto here-to disregard the leadership of the chief magistrate He has left us in no doubt a to the lines of policy which may compel us to enter upon war if such I is to b with Spain He has told us that the conditions in Cuba are not such as will permit our recognition re-cognition of the republic of Cuba He has blazed the policy The war in Cuba must stop Nothing is plainer than that intervention is to be resorted re-sorted to and he asks to be instructed to use the army and navy for that purpose And now here today with this policy marked out with everything every-thing we desire about to be consummated consum-mated with freedom to Cuba assured sured and intervention by arms if ne essay decided upon the president is to be confronted by the senates effort ef-fort to define another policy We are to thrust this resolution in his face a resolution he has declared he does not believe in and does not want The chief executive Is the nearest approach ap-proach to a ruler this country knows Shall he be opposed CAUSE FOR UNANIMITY Proceeding Mr Hale expressed the deep sense of regret with which he had in the last few days witnessed the melting away of the spirit of conservative conserva-tive sentiment in the senate Senators I setment the who had opposed the recognition of Independence of Cuba had one by one and day by day come into line for that declaration He said he had wondered declaraton so and he had found the solution of time problem in a banquet given on last Wednesday night in this citj to the Hon William Jennings Pryan With great sarcasm he proceeded pro-ceeded to read from an account of the speech made on that occasion by Mr Bryan and to allege that it was responsible re-sponsible for the sudden unanimity of bcnliment the Democratic side of upon i the r t1 fon Many ot the Democratic senators gave manifestation of their disapproval the account as Senator Hale was reading count of the speech The solidification of the Democratic not party Mr Hale continued was to be attributed to any caucus or convention con-vention action but to this symposium But aU this attempt to make politics continued out of the situation he would not succeed MKINLEY THE FLAG BEARER IKINLEY I If war came it would not be conducted con-ducted by the Democratic party The country would not turn to that party I but by the gallant Soldier and statesman states-man the president of the United States and bring He would conduct the war it to a successful conclusion The Democratic Dem-ocratic senators and the Democratic party which now seemed so intent ujon hostilities with Spain would b found when war was actually upon us impeding and obstructing the course of those who were now seeking to art war with all its horrors but who would then be in the front fighting for their country Mr Cum n followed Mr Hale and by his mf nor ii I e vehemence of his utterances showed 10 greatly he f I the gravity cf the s nation He counseled coun-seled a temperate policy and invoked that the rancor of the debate be eliminated elimi-nated from the occasion He criticised senators the I the attacks made by upon president as the commanderinchlof of I j I the army and navy and forcibly declared de-clared that party politics shnul1 give way to a higher duty in the determination I I determi-nation of the question He questioned I the wisdom of the resolution as adopted adopt-ed and hoped that wiser counsels would I prevail He sad that the open criticism I criti-cism of the president was to lie lenre cated and he wished the ecoid as made up might be blotted foreer and I only a united people shown uppermost to the world GORMANS CLOSE I He closed amid profound stillness and said the occasion was worthy a I place in the history of nations He sriJ I I pledge myself to forget that McKinley I Mc-Kinley was elected by the Benuhlican party because I know and believe that I I as president of a united people he will I bear his countrys flag aloft and that I no nation Spanish or otherwise I tilt i I receive from him aught else than that I I fair manly and brave treatment tJ an American resident I I In reply to Mr Aldrich and to others who had spoken Mr Jones Ark declared I de-clared that It was the wish of a large cared I I I majority of congress and the people I j rO i that the resolution reported 1 should iec j I ognize the Cuban republic independence II independ-ence and the events leaning up v the present situation fully justUW the I friends of Independence ir assuming I the position they had taken
