WASHINGTON , rob. 43. While tlio emale
fiad umlcr cexialclcrntlon the diplomatic anil
consular appropriation bill toJny , a sharp debate -
' bate on the Cuban situation was prnclpltatcd
by Mr. Allen , who offered na an amendment
. the resolution passed by the neti.ito a year
ago recognizing the belligerent rights at the
CuL.in Imnrgttits. The debate became con-
cral and occupied nearly four hours.
In reply to the preliminary statement by
Mr. Allen , Mr. Morgan said that th'a conn-
try'fl relations with Spain at the present
tlmo were Borloti. . ly otra'med , tnd that In
tervention by the United States , which a year
ago would have been offensive , would now
bo almost a cause for war. He exprcasfd the
opinion that the Cuban atfalr would eventu
ally bo submitted to the arbitrament of the
r.word between the United States and Spain ,
but ho did not wont war precipitated by ra h
acts of leglfllatlca.
Mr. Pornker thought the day ml dlstivjt
when the time for action by thin country
would arrive , and that the chief mnglatratc
of the nation ought to rcjolco that the login-
latlvo branch was prepared to support lilm
In assorting American righto.
Mr. Thu ra ton counselled calmness and
prudence , for he bellevoj that the country
waa drifting Into a war with Spain. "Wo
ought to have patience , " oald he. "and wait
as a great and powerful people , not In fear ,
but In hope that H0:110 : satisfactory conclu
sion of the present dllllculty may be
reached. "
NO PLACE FOR DISCUSSION.
Mr. Hoar ma.'ntalned that the lloor of
the scnato was no proper place for ciflgry
discussions of intcrnatluial affairs , and thai
no senator should utter anything that might
not bettor bo utter by the president of the
United Statcii. lie expressed his willingness
to glvo hl support to the executive should
the time for action arrive , provided the pro
posed actkn was based upon clear and un
mistakable facts.
Mr. Allen's amendment was ruled out of
order , and the appeal from the ruling taken
by the Nebraska senator was laid on the
table , 51 to 5.
Later In the day Mr. Allen offered a resolu
tion providing 'for ' a committee of live sena
tors who should KO to Cuba and ascertain
the situation. UnJer the rules It went over
until tomorrow.
The r < solution was 03 follows :
Whereas , It IH the established doctrine of

( Wash. ) It went over.
KiapcrtliiB the belligerency amendment
Mr. Allen thought a statement was due. The
anu"idinent , ho stated , was practically a
copy of two resolutions which have practi
cally passed the senateItefcrrlng to the
unfavorable report cm the amendment by the
fo.-Tlun relations eomnilttoo Mr. Allen said
It w.is a confesjlon und avoidance , and
meant simply " 'at ' the committee did not
deslio to act upon It. The truth was , bu
said , that congress was merely ' ( lulling some
uxrnso under which It could continue busi
ness and escape censure. 'Ills ' dcslru was to
find whether congress could be Induced ,
cajoled ( > r kicked Into putting the country In
a dlgnlllcd attitude on the Ctfban question
Talking upon the main Issue Involved he
asserted that he had reliable Information
that no leas than S3 per cent of .the Cuban
population had perished In Cuba In the last
three years as n result of Spanish cruelty.

the bouso ot representatives , consisting ot
.157 men , a paint of order U to bo made
Against this amendment and It will go the
way of much valuable legislation.
.Mr. Allen said If the republican party
could suffer to see the Cubans exterminated
by starvation In violation of Ita platform
and the Christian sentiment of the country
republican senators ought to bo willing to
face , the qut'stion on a yea v < l ray vote.
Mr. Morgan said the ? ma o lud tn-lco
paw.cd the Cuban belligerency ic.HoluUon pre
cisely ns ( iow offered , but both times It hail
been djne openly and frankly.
"Wo hnJ no rltjht , " sail l.o , "to mak" n
declaration uf war against ! ; piln iindci
cover , and that Is precisely what this resolution
tion- would mean. If the amendment wcm
attached to the appropriation Mil Spain might
well regard It as a cause for war.a 1
have before Indicated , the situation was en-
tliely different In Cuba when thU resolution
wca flwt offered. "
INTBUVIJNTION MEANS WAH.
Ho slid that between 300,000 and COO.OOO
people had starved to death In Cuba. "This
awful condition of affalra. " said Mr. Morgan ,
"makes our position In the Cuban matter extremely -
tremoly delicate. Intervention now of the
kind proposed a year OKO means war. It
could mean nothing else. Intervention on
the pirt of thU government at the present
tlmo would almost certainly bo regarded by
Spain as a cause for war. I almwt dread
to refer to the conditions and circumstances
which have liccn brought about by events
of the past ten days. In the present cir
cumstances It would not bo consistent with
the feelings or characteristic of the senti
ments of the American people to do anything
that would aggravate the situation that has
been brought about by the conditions leadIng -
Ing up to the Inquiry now In progress at
Havana. If , however , any senator believes
lu a declaration of war and will draw up
auch a declaration , with sufficient and proper
grounds on which to base It , I will vote
fnr It. "
At this point Mr. Allen Interrupted Mr.
Morgan to dinclnlm any Intention of making
ft declaration of war agaluet Spain. Ho ex
pressed the opinion that his amendment
could in no way bo construed Into such a
declaration.
"If wo should put this amendment on the
pending appropriation bill , " said Mr. Mor
gan , "Spain would bo Justified In Interpreting
our action to be that we arc offensively In
let ferine with It. However , I do not be-
llevo the senator has In mind a declaration
of war. It would not overtax the ability
of ny man to prepare such a declaration
with proper and sufficient grounds on
which to base It. I will tiot , however , vote
for any declaration of war In disguise.
"Tho Spanish are a great and powerful
and proud people and they believe thelt
course Is right. 1 do not wish to provoke
them to a declaration of war. I have al
ways believed , and believe now , that the
war In Cuba could not be terminated with
out Involving the United States In hostili
ties. I believe that the matter will be aub.
mlttcd to the arbitrament of the sword.
The whole world recognizes Spain's Inability
tn conquer the Cubans , and sooner or later
wo shall become"In my opinion , Involved In
an armed controversy.
DECLARATION IN DISGUISE.
"The pending amendment Is llttlo less
than a declaiatlon of war In disguise. II
wo mean to declare war let us do it like
men and not endeavor to secure ourselves
behind so transparent a cloak. Those who
uro constantly reeking to boncflt the cause
of Cuban liberty , particularly at such times
as thejc , cannot accomplish their purposes
with such rash acts of legislation as Is this
amendment. "
Mr. Morgan declared the Cubans had al
ready fought and won their revolution und
nothing remained but for them to continue
their attitude until Spain should recognize
the republic.
Mr. Teller did not accept Mr. Morgan's
position that tlio adoption of thly amend
ment would be a declaiatlon of war. He
had , ho said , reached the conclusion that
the recognition of belligerency rested with
the executive. He had reached this conclu
sion with regret , but still he thought It
correct. In this view congress could do no
moro than announce its opinion. True , this
opinion should receive aomo attention at the
bauds of the executive , but the last admin
istration had given no weight to such an ex-
prosblon of opinion , and ho ( Teller ) was con
vinced that the prcsant one would follow the
example of Its predecessor.
In the matter of Intervention Mr. Teller
said ho had never gene beyond the point
of saying that thej United States had a right ,
under international law , to interfere to the
extent of compelling Spain to treat its sub
jects ] our border in a humane manner.
Neither such Interference nor the declara
tion of belligerency would be an act un-
filoudly to Spain. Still , If the matter rested
with him exclusively , he would recognize
the belligerency of the Cubana If he know it
would bring war tomorrow , for ho was sure
that such Intervention wculd eccuro for us
la such a struggle the sympathy of all civ
ilized matlont *
TIME IS COMING FOll ACTION.
'Mr. ' Foraker announced his Intention to
vote against the amendment , explaining his
rea.-ion to bo the fact that It was > Bought to
make It n rider on an appropriation bill.
Ho said lie had voted for the belligerency
resolution , couched In the fame terms as
this , which was adopted n year ngo , and he
had always been glad ho bad done so. Ho
had always believed that a mistake had
been made In not recognizing the belligerent
rights of the contending Cubans. A declara
tion of belligerency would not be an act of
hostility. In conclusion 'Mr. ' Foraker raid :
"I expect at no very distant day that there
will too an appropriate occasion for further
remarks on this question. I think the time
is coming for action. When It comes the de
cision will be IHTP , nnd thu problem will
be appropriately discussed. "
Mr. Thuraton said ho had voted to accord
belligerent rights to the Cuban Insurgents
both times it had eomo before the senate.
"I have neVer ceased to regret , " said he ,
"that the United States did not afford to the
Cubans belligerent rights at the time when
the cruelties and barbarities of Woylor
would bavo wort for us the sympathy of the
world. Had wo recognized the belligerency
of those people then I believe that ere tills
they would have been In possession of the
Island , nnd we would bo In no danger of war
I believe now that wo are drifting into a
war with Spain.
"When the president delivered to us his
message ho sot time to running , and that
tlmo has over since been running. Spa.'fv '
has not been a'blo ' to quell the rebellion , and
the pcHsPblllty of peace Is growing more and
more remote. The time Is coming , God
knows how soon It will bo here , when action
In accordance with the president's message
must bo taken , when we shall either have
to back down from our position or Intervene
In the Cuban affair with the probability of
war.
PIUY FOR r > EACH.
'There Is enough being said all over this
country concerning the Inquiry Into the
LMaliu- catastrophe to Involve us In war. Our
pcoplu In the present delicate situation
might well bo at their altars praying for
calmness and peace. I hope thu Inquiry now
proceeding In Havana will develop nothing
that may Involve u In hostilities , but while
that Inquiry Is proceeding wo In the senate
should maintain u most circumspect attitude
and bo calm aud quiet. "
Mr. Thurston thought that thu court of
Inquiry ought not In any manner to be ham
pered by any frlctlco of trouble here. "Wo
ought to have patience , " eald he , "and wait
oj a great and powerful people , not In fear ,
but In hope that some aatlsfactory conclusion
to the present difficulty may bo reached. "
Mr. Allen made au extended reply to the
arguments advanced against his position. Ho
maintained this was the flrel tlmo Uie bel
ligerency proposition had been ixx'sented to
the senate when there was any chunco of Us
becoming effective. The house would be
brought face to face with it , and It would
bo brought to a vote In that body. It could
not be tmrlel In a committee.
Mr. Hale , In charge of the bill , yielded to
Mr. Hear , who said he desired , in justice to
himself and tlicec who believed wild him , to
refute the charges of cowardice which had
been hurled at those who differed fcrxn lilm ,
by the senator from Nebraska ( Allen ) . He
dlscuweJ the situation from the standpoint
of an International lawyer , maintaining Hut
the recognition of belligerency In ordinary
clrcunutanccB was not a cause for war. U
was not necessarily an unfriendly act. Mr.
Hoar maintained , however , that before
taking any action of that kind , tdo United
States ought to have a clear and unques
tioned statement of the facts la the case.
He expressed tbo opinion that the enact
ment of a belligerency resolution at the
present tlmo would b productive of war
at the frlctlou ttmt would lie
created by Spain exercising tlio right o
search of United States vessels on the hlgl
.icas. Mr. Hoar said that severe partleai
and angry dlscusslona , particularly on sucl
questions as that pending , tiave no part Ir
the proceedings of the senate , no moro thar
that they have In the supreme court. Spa if
ha thought , would have just cause ot cam.
plaint on account of these violent discus ,
slons.
FAVORS MEDIATION.
"I have always. " eald Mr. Hoar , "favored
a resolution proposing mediation. H that
falls. I am In favor of supporting the ex
ecutive department whco the tlmo shall
come and when the case Is so clear and
flagrant that all the constitutional repre
sentatives of the people substcntlally agree
as to the facts. "
Mr. Stewart made a speech In favor of
granting belligerent rights to the Cubans
at crace.
Mr. Halo made the point of order against
the amendment that it was general legisla
tion and had , under the rules , no place In
the bill The vice president sustained the
point.
Mr. Allen took on appeal from the ruling.
Upon this Mr. Tttrplo delivered on ex
tended speech In support of the ruling ot
the chair , although he was personally la
favor of the proposition contained In the
amendment.
Mr. Clay ( Ga. ) also supported the ruling ot
the chair , although he said he would vote
for any Independent proposition for the relief
of the Cubans. .
Mr. Mason said he could not bo deterred
either from sustaining or opposing the rul
ing of the chair by any ovcrgrowm reverence
ho had for the rules ot the senate.or any
other alleged deliberative body , but he eald
ho decided to appeal to Mr. Hale to let the
bill go over for a few days' In order that
senators might examine Into the rules and
authorities bearing on them.
Mr. 'Bacon ' , speaking In support of the
ruling of the chair , drew from the galleries
an enthusiastic round of applause , which
WflB nntnlrlv fltmnrnssprt. Imu-nvnr. hv fhn
vlco president. Ho said that ouc ot the
greatest causes ever tried before the na
tions of the world was being now tried In
Havana. "Let us do nothing , " said he ,
"that will In the least way embarrass those
who are conducting that Investigation. The
wreck of the Maine now lies on the bottom
of Havana harbor. The facts relating
to the explosion ore being sought earnestly
and intelligently by a competent court of
Inquiry and we ought to do nothing that
will In the slightest manner Interfere with
the progress of that work. What wo desire
Is to know the facts. If It should be found
that the explosion was duo to an accident
wo must know that. If , however , it should
be discovered that Jt was duo to treachery ,
the whole world will applaud the action of
this country In holding to strict account the
country In whose friendly harbor that awful
disaster occurred. "
Mr. Uacon pointed out that any unfriendly
action on the part of the United States to
ward Spain might cause that nation to in
terfere with the conduct of the Investiga
tion. Ho suggested that now was the time
for congress nnd the American people to re
main quiet , and not agitate n situation by a
discussion unfriendly to a friendly nation.
Mr. Halo then moved to lay the appeal
on the table and Mr , Allen demanded the
yeas and nays.
Mr. Halp's motion was carried , 51 to 5 ,
these voting against the motion being
Messrs. Allen , Cannon ( Utah ) , Heltfeld
( Idaho ) , Mason nnd Teller.
The senate then , at 5:15 : , went into execu
tive ) session and ten minutes later ad
journed.

NEW YORK , Feb. 23. A dispatch to the
Herald from Madrid says ; As the question
of the purchase of Cuba is again being
pushed In Washington , it may bo of use
to state , on the highest authority , that
Spain will never , no matter what govern
ment lo In power , consider any auch
suggestion or any compromise In
Cuba beyond the broad measure of
autonomy drafted 'by ' the liberal
government. This Is an absolute , In-
revocable decision. People who suggest
anything clso are only wasting time and
arousing unfounded hopes.

North Atlantic squadron at Dry Tortugas.
The ftlarblohead took aboard a small quan
tity of coal.
An Immense crowd assembled on the river
front as the Marblehead pulled up Its mud-
hooks and steamed half a mile up the river
before turning. As the vessel sped rapidly
down the river past the French and Austrian
war ships huntlrs-Js waved handkerchiefs In
farewell , all tlip vessels In th harbor tooted
their whistles , cannon were flred from the
shore and the foreign ships dipped their ( lags.
The doparturo'bf the ship was without Inci

honor the clty at carnival time.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 23. There was n
total lack of olllclal news respecting the
Malno disaster lo both State and Navy de
partments up to noon today , no telegrams
having come In over night , and none having
been dispatched. A reminder of the dis
aster , however , reached the Navy depart
ment in the. shape ot a water stained and
brine flavored package enclosing the medical
journal of the Maine. This document came
through Consul General I.cc's mall pouch
to the State department Instead ot through
the malls , from which it was probably barred
by Its weight. It was turned over to the
chief clerk ot the Navy department and by
htm referred to the Bureau ot Marino and
Surgery , where It will bo kept for further
reference In case of necessity. The ofllclals
say the package was under water four days
from Us appearance nnd It still bears cvl-
detico of that fact besides having an un
pleasant brackish odor , The blue mark
lines ruled on the paper by the government
printing ofllco are nearly faded out , but the
reading In the journal In the metnllc Ink
used by the navy Is clear nnd distinct. Of
course , there Is nothing In the book bearing
upon the disaster , but it is a tribute to the
methodical habits of Surgeon Hcnncborgcr ,
the Maine's medical olllcer , that the record
was brought up to the last moment before
the wreck of the ship , the last entry be
ing February 15.
Whllo there remains an air of expectancy
among the naval officers whenever there Is
the least suggestion of tiows from Havana ,
the department appears to have settled pretty
well down into its old routine. There is no
longer much disposition exhibited to theorize
as to the cause of tlio disaster. Probably
this Is fe-om lack of evidence to Ixiso theory
on , or because the Ingenuity of the experts
In devising hypothetic has been exhausted.
TERROR ON WAITING ORDKRS.
Xo orders Imvo yet gone out to the big
double-turroted monitor Terror , so the situa
tion as to It remains as It did yesterday ,
When Secretary Long stated that it was
belcig held for orders at Norfolk.
In regard to the statement coming from
Key West that naval ollicers there had been
warned by Admiral Slcard , at the instance of
the Navy deportment , not to discuss tdo
Maine disaster publicly and with nowspapei
men , it is said by naval olllcers that this Is
only the usual course , for the tegulatlons
especially prohibit such discussions as arc
calculated to effect Improperly the conclu
sion of the court of inquiry or.id also perhaps
: o cause interposition of obstacles to the
Investigation It Is probable that llko In
structions have been given to the few naval
olllcers who remain with Captain Slgsbee at
Havana , engaged in paying the last sad ritcti
to the bodies of the victims.
Consul General Lee in the course of
friendly talk in Havana with Americans may
have expressed the vlow that there arc at
present other places more deslrnblo as re-
Horta for persona who have no particular bus
iness there than Havana , but the State de
partment authorizes the announcement that
it has not yet been advised that ho has either
olllclally or seml-ofllclally delivered himself
of any expression on the subject. The Span
ish legation also discredits reports that Gen
eral Lee has given any such warning , as Mr.
du Dose , the charge d'affaires , said today
that such complete qulot and harmony ex
isted today at Havana that it was manifestly
out of the question that auy such warning
had ibcen given. It is also said at the de
partment that no message has been conveyed
to the owners of American vessels at Now
Orleans , or elsewhere , that it would not bo
safe for them ta visit Cuban ports at this
tlmo.
SICARD IS NOT WELL.
Secretary Long received a letter today
fiom Admiral Sicard at Key West. The ad
miral writes that ho has not rogalno'l his
health nnd will not go to sea with the
squadron. He will remain nt his hotel nt
Key West ani maintain command of the
squadron from that place so long as it le-
mains In the- harbor there. Should the
squadron bo obliged to go to sea with the
admiral 111 nt Key West and the senior oli- !
cor of his fleet , Captain Sampxon , engaged
In the Investigation nt Havana , probably
the command of the equndrjn would devolve
on Captain Taylor , now eommaiul'ng ' the
Massachusetts and commonly regarded as
ono of the brightest anj brainiest efllccrs
in the naval service.
Simultaneously with the dc-pa'-turo ot tbo
Texas and Nashville fiom Galveston the
Mnrblchead will leave New Orl'aus and the
Detroit will leave Mobile for Key We t. The
result will bo to bring together the largo
number of vessels under A.lmlral Slcard nt

NEW YORK. Feb. 23. The World says :
Major General Merrltt. In command of the
Department of the East of the United Stntca
army , will start on a tour of inspection of
the southern fortifications before the end of
the week. It was his original Intention to
cave Governor1 ! ) Island today for Now Or-
eauo , but at midnight it was generally under
stood that ho would not bo able to mart
for a < lay or two. Tills sudden move on the
art of General Morritt , following BO closely
ipon the recent order ot General Miles vea-
llvo to the absolute necessity of completing
he now works of defense at the fortifications
hroughout the country , has created quite u
sensation In army circles , Ostensibly ho Is
simply going on his annual tour of Inspeo-
lon but nt the Island , Fort Wa Isworth and
'ort Hamilton , It Is understood that his
nlsslon is of far greater Importance than
ho regulation visit to the stations , It Is
lolloved that work on the now ordnance for
he oouthern fortifications bos not been going
on with sufficient rapidity to satisfy either
General Miles or General Morritt. At the
new works at Fort Hamilton of the four new
suns only three are now In position. Fort
Wadsworth has fared more fortunately.
Another development which has a direct
bearing on General Merrill's departure IB the
artillery bill which yesterday passed the
senate. Thto bill provides for the mainte
nance of two more artillery reglmont . It is
ho Intention of General Morltt to have ono
of these quartered at Sandy Hook. The other
via , In all probability , be distributed among
ho various posts along -tho Atlantic coast.
When General Miles sent word to General
.Icrrltt relative to the necessity of getting
all available ordnance ready for Immediate
use ho especially referred to the work under
vay at Forts Hamilton and Wadsworth.
It la General MorrlU'e intention to first
Islt New Orleans and Inspect Fort Philip
nd Fort Jackson. The other forta that Gen-
ral Merrltt will visit ore at Mobile , Charlea-
on , Galveston , Savannah , Pensacola and Key
Vest.
Said nn olllcer at Governor's Island last
Ight : "Tho passing of the artillery bill will
bongo the entire state of affairs nt Sandy
look. Just now the only thing wo can use
neu for down there Is to keep the eand from
logging the machinery of the guns. With
ho new regiments , however , all will ho as
t should bo. Ono ot the regiments will bo
tatlouod at tbo Hook. That has already
icen practically decided. I am quite con
vinced that the work on tbo quarters of the
Ulcers and for the men there will be pushed
orward with all possible speed. Just now
vo have far too many officers for our men ,
ut under the new appropriation this ovll
vlll also be remt-dlcd. "
NBW YORK , Fob. 23 , Major General
ilerrltt , commander of tbo Department ot
ho Katt , leaven today for an Inspection ot
ho defense * on the Atlantic coast south of
-Jew York. His route la understood to In-
ludo Atlanta , Nfw Orleans , Mobile , Pen-
acc-la and Savannah , tboxe cities being
taltcd In the order caratd , Through one
of his aides the general announced that hi :

ATLANTA. Ga. , Feb. 23. John J. Ingftlli
ot Kansas Is In Atlanta and expresses him
self emphatically against the present agita
tion for war In vlow of the fact that Inter
national politics nre In so delicate a condi
tion that to precipitate hostilities would , lu
thinks , place the United States In nti
equivocal position.
"If U dcvolops ttiat the Malno disaster
was the work of a Spanish brigand anil
Spain disavows any responsibility r connec
tion with U I do not see that our friendly
relations should bo Interrupted. On the
other hand , If the proper disavowal Is not

tremendous explosion that IMS ever been

WASHINGTON. Fob. 23. Sensational re
ports having been circulated that Senator
Hanna had expressed the .belief that a con
flict between the United States nnd Spain
was Imminent , the attention of the senator
was called to them. He emphatically denied
them , saying. : "I do not believe there Is any
thing In the Maine Incident or in our rela
tions to ISpaln regarding Cuba that will lead
to war. I nm firmly of the opinion that the
explosion on the Malno was tluo to accident
and I think that the naval court ot Inquiry
will reach the same conclusion. "
"And congress will do nothing ? "
"What Is thcro for congress to dn ? There
is no Information except a lot of sensational
stories upon which to base all this talk
of war. Even the secretary of the navy has
no Information , nnd ns long as the president
and the secretary of the navy and all the
rest of the cabinet keep cool ami quiet , there
is no need for the rest ot the United States
to get alarmed.
"No , " said Senator Hanna In conclusion ,
"I honestly and frankly do not see nuy
reason for the excitement that is being
created. There will bo no war. "

WASHINGTON , Feb. 23. The Evening
Star has received the following from its staff
correspondent In Cuba :
HAVANA ( via Key West ) . Feb. 23. In
quiry Into the Malno disaster progresses
along definite lines. The results so fur may
be bummed up In the statement that the
probabilities that It was an accident seem
to decrease with the progress of the In
vestigation.
The most Intense anxiety Is shown by t'nc
Spanish olllciuls here , who are In constant
communication with Madrid. They realize
that the relations with the United States
wore never HO much In danger of rupture
as now. This IH the general feeling.
The commercial classes here are hopeful
of American Intervention on peaceful lines ,
but what they basu their hopes on Is un
known. The Insurgents continue to win
minor military successes. The autonomists
nro restless , and some of the leaders seem
on the point of breaking away from th
government. Army officers continue to HIO\ !
an anti-American sentiment , They are 111
parently t.io only class that does not lee
for an early crisis. PEl'PKU.
