The Senate, After Long Debate,
TaLos Action Similar to that
of the Hotiae.
RESOLUTION PASSES BY 67 TO 21.
Free Cuba and the Independence of
the Island is Now the
Shibboleth.
SOVEREIGNTY IS NOr DEMANDED.
President to Use tho Army, Navy
and Militia to Carry Out tho
Decrees of Congress.
WASHINGTON, April 18.—The Unit
ed States senate passed the following
resolutions by a »ote of 67 to 21:
Whereas. The abhorrent condition,
which have existed for more than three
years in the island of Cuba, so near
our own borders, have shocked the
moral sense of the people of the Unit
ed States, have been a disgrace to
Christian civilisation, culminating, as ,
they have, In the destruction of a Unit
ed States battleship with 266 of its of
ficers and crew, while on a friendly
visit in the hsrbor of Havana, and
which cannot longer be endured, as has
been set fori~ by the president of the
United States In his message to con
gress of April 11. 1888, upon which
the action of congress was invited;
therefore
Reso.ved, by the senate and house
of representatives of the United States
of America, in congress assembled:
171 eaf—'l hot (ha rtnnnln r\t f ha lalnml
of Cuba arc, and of right ought to be,
free and Independent, and that the
government of the United States here
by recognize the republic of Cuba as
the true and lawful government of
the people of that island.
Second—That is is the duty of the
United States to demand, and the gov
ernment of the United States does
hereby demand, that the government I
of Spain at once relinquish Its author
ity and government in the island of I
Cuba and withdraw its land and na- !
val forces from Cuba and Cuban wat- j
ers.
Third—That the president, of the
United States be. and he hereby Is, i
directed and empowered to use the en- j
tire land and naval forces of the Unit
ed States, and to call into actual ser
vice of the united States the militia
of the several states, to such extent as
may be necessary to carrry these res
olutions into effect.
Fourth—That the United State t
hereby disclaims any disposition or
Intention to exercise sovereignty. Juris
diction or control over said island, ex
cept for the pacification thereof; and
esserts its determination, when that
is accomplished, to leave the govern
ment and control of the Island to Its
people.
"Free Cuba and the Independence of
the island republic,” was the shibbo- 1
leth of the senate throughout the four !
dayH of debate, which ended Saturday
night.
Whlie the verdict returned was de- '
cisive. it is just to say that it was !
not final. Notes ot discord, almost j
foreboding in their tone, were sound- 1
ed. This foreboding was not due In .
any sense to anxiety about the result 1
of the impending conflict. It was
prompted for a fear lest. If the action
taken by the senate snould ultimately
be accepted as final, this government
might become Involved In complica
tions that In future years would prove
serious.
At 9 o'clock Saturday night the Dav
is resolutions—those reported front the
committee on foreign relations amend
ed so as to include the recognition c.!
the republic of Cuba—were passed by
| a vote of 67 to 21. as a substitute for
j the resolution adopted by the bouse i f
reresentatives.
Ail day long the contest waged with
J an earnestness, energy, ability and elo
; quence seldom equaled, even in the
j senate of the United States. From 10
j o'clock this morning until the moment
j of the final vote the intensity of the tn
| terest did not abate for* an instant.
| Under the agreement limiting the
j duration of the speeches, except in
Inalnncna tn flfiaon

ACTION OF TNE SENATE.
It Won the Atmorblng Topic la
Washington on Sunday.
WASHINGTON. April 18.—Yester
day waH exceptionally quiet In official
circles, and on the surface at least
there was no new developments in the
Spanlsu situation. The reports of Sat
urday's action by the senate were an
absorbing subject of discussion, and
the probability of what the honse will
do was uppermost in everyone’s mind.
For the first time in several weeks
the president was able to devote Sun
day almost entirely to his family, and
to resume bis church going, which had
been interrupted by Important Sunday
conferences with the members of the
cabinet.
In company with Mrs. M^inley and
some friends the president this after
noon went for a long drive thoroughly
euju/iUB iuu iuuuu; vcuuoi/, »* »»»v u,
because of me spring-like weather, has
begun to put on Its summer dress.
Assistant Secretary Day was at the
White House for a short time In the
morning and saw the president. Vice
President Hobart and Postmaster Gen
eral Gary also called while the presi
dent was at church.
In the wur and navy departments
there was also lacking that evidence
of activity and rush which character
ized them for so many Sundays past,
in the war department Adjutant Gen
eral Corbin was at his desk for a short
time In the morning. He said there
had oeen no changes in th$ details for
moblizatlon 01 troops announced some
days ago. nor any important assign
ments of officers. The proposals from
railroads for transporting the troops
from the various places where they arc
now located will be opened tomorrow,
and the expectation is that soldiers in
many instances will oegln their Jour
ney south on the same day.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt was at
t.ie navy department for some time
during the morning transacting mat
ters requiring his attention. He had
a visit from Commander Wilard H.
Brownson, who has just returned to
the United States from his visit abroad
where he was sent to purchase men
of-war and munitions for the United
States navy.
The commander is looking well
bronzed and says he had an enjoyable
trip, having spent practically all his
time in Italy, France and England.
He made a number of recommenda
tions and reports to Secretary Long
during his inspections abroad and will
submit the final one to the secretary
tomorrow. He asked to be excused
from discussing the results of his trip
pending his report to the secretary.
Commander Brownson during his
visit was able to guage the feeling
which the European nations have for
this country in its issue with Spain.
Concerning the Englisittnen, he re
marked that their sympathy is for us
and they are with us to a man. A
great many Frenchmen sided with
Spain, although the commander said
his observations regartng them were j
based on reports only. Italy being j
one of the Latin countries, there is j
an element which sympathizes with j
Spain, although many of the commer- j
cial classes, realizing that much of the >
trade of the peninsula is with the
United states, look upon our conten
tion with favor.
Commander Brownson says that ow- |
ing to the uncertain state of affairs in I
Europe, growing out of the eastern j
nutation. in which most nf th<* ittpht
nations are interested, very few really
satisfactory war ships are to be found
on the market, while in six months
from now, when pogslbly no one will
wnnt to purchase any. no doubt some
will be available. Unfinished ships
and those of Inferior quality were to
be obtained if desired, but the govern
ment preferred not to purchase vessels
of that kind.
The commander will leave the city
; tomorrow for New York, where he Is
to assume command of the Yankee, to
which he has been assigned.

NOTES ON THE SL'BIECT EXCHANGED
Germany and Russia Indifferent to
the Movement—France aud
Austria More Active.
WASHINGTON. April 15.“-Tt Xvas
learned last night from high diplomat
ic quarters that an exchange of notes
had begun between the European cap
itals with a view of making strong
representations on the Spanlsh-Amerl
can situation. In the same connection
an Informal meeting of the ambassa
dors aud ministers In this city of the
■lx great powers was held to day.
Several of the establishments re
ceived cable advices from thelf gov
ernments last night as to the opening
of the exchange of notes. This had
been anticipated In view of the senti
ment In all foreign quarters here that
action thus far taken In congress made
war Inevitable. This common opln- j
Ion had been officially reported to the
several European capitals, and It was |
doubtless Instrumental In starting the
active exchange between the great
powers today.
The same exchange occurred a week
ago as a preliminary to the joint note
of the great powers presented to Pres
ident McKinley mildly urging a peace
ful settlement with Spain.
It te understood, however, that the
present movement Is not of the same
mild character as the former one.
Simultaneous with the oDenlne of
the exchange word came from Madrid
that the Spanish government was
about to Issue another appeal to the
great powers of Europe. It Is under
stood that the appeal Is Inltatory to
the concerted action of the powers,
and there is apparent agreement In ad
vice that the appeal will receive fav
orable consideration.
It is said that Spain's appeal Will
recite its grievances against the Uni
ted States, stating in detail the many
concessions it has made, and pointing
out that it was in response to the ur
gent representation of the six great
powers that the last concession of an
armistice was granted.
If the powers determine to act their j
influence probably will be particularly !
directed toward Inducing the United j
States to grant Spain sufficient time :
w’ithtn which to try the armistice re
cently proclaimed. The influence of
the powers was mainly exerted at Ma
drid; the only action at Washington
was the courteous hope for peace.
But the present action vu. rather be
exerted at Washington than at Madrid,
and the common belief is that the
Madrid authorities have reached the
limit of concessions and should now be
given adequate to try what they
and the powers have offered as a means
of restoring peace In Cuba.
There is no suggestion, however, |
that this Influence at present will be of !
material character, but It is exepected
to be an assertion of all the moral In
fluence of tne powei-3 in checking ten
dencies which it Is believed inevitably
will lead to war.
Up to a late hour tonight word had
not been received at the various for
eign establishments that any commo.i
basis of Joint action had been reached,
although it was the general impression
that there would be little difficulty in
arriving at this common ground in
view of the prevailing sentiment
abroad.
It is not so certain that all the pow
ers are ready for a step of this kind.
Germany has of late shown a disposi
tion against exerting strong influence
on the United States. Russia is
thought to be somewhat indifferent,
France and Austria are most active ir
the present note, as they were In the
former one. Not all of the great pow
ers are ready to Join in the concert,
and it is felt that the force of such in
fluence would be lost.
The Spanish minister has not been
officially advised up to a late hour to
night that the meeting of the Spanish
Cortes had been advanced from April
25 to April 20. The press tables from
Vf aHeill ITT or O not /Irmlitml I* .... ..
thought to be quite probable that
prerent gave condition of affairs would
lead to the assembling of the Cortes
at the earliest possible date.
There is no doubt that the Cortes
■will prepare a budget adequate to the
existing condition of affair*, which
budget will equal the ?50.000.000 de
fense fund recently appropriated bv
congress. It Is understood that the
Spanish war budget 1* not likely to b«
less than 250,000.000 pesetas.
The Address of the queen regent
upon the opening of the Cortes ts
looked forward to as an Important fea
ture of SpanUh-Amerlran affairs, as
It Is definitely known that the queen
regent will deal with the existing
crisis.

Mr Turner tWaeh t began a speech
I Mi uikh ho Sharply ertttaiasd u# ad
ministration for the "vaccinating and
irresolute, cowardly and pusillanimous
policy pursued by it in the Cuban ques
tion." He said that the developments
of the las*, two weeks had shaken the
faith In thoee who held the president’s
car and confidence.
Mr. Turner declared himself strong
ly In favor of the resolution pre
sented by the minority of the commit
tee on foreign relations and for so
doing said that he did not need fur
ther justification than the magnificent
stato paper which accompanied the
majority report. He declared, how
ever, that the same malevolent influ
ences which had paralyzed tho execu
tive and almost caused the people to
revolt wa3 still at work. Tf these In
fluences should succeed the whole
country would know tho disgraceful
story and the nation would be sham
ed.
Mr. Turner maintained that congress
could not delegate to the president
the power to make war. “The con
gress of the United Stat'-g Is the or
ganized conscience of the country,” he
said, "and It Is the only power which
can take the dread step of war.”
After vehemently attacking the
president for the delays which had oc
curred in the sending of the message
to congress, Mr. Turner charged that
the delay last week was not due to
the request of C.sneral Lee. but to the
fact that Archbishop Ireland had ca
bled to the Vatican In the hope that
the pope might be able to bring, about
a peaceful solution of the difficulty.
The president was waiting upon the
pope and action taken to secure that
which American diplomacy had fail
ed to obtain. Mr. Turner ridiculed
the diplomatic negotiations of the ad
ministration and demanded to know
why congress wanted more of it. He
declared that the state department,
even with the support of the depart
ment of Justice, was weak and una
vailing. At the Spanish end of our di
plomatic line we had as minister a
man whose desire for peace was so
strong that he refused to obey the
plain instructions of his superiors. Mr.
Turner declared with bitter sarcasm
that with such diplomatic agents rep
resenting the United States the Mad
rid government might, eventually, for
a suitable indemnity, absolve this
country for blocking the harbor of
Havana with the shattered hull of the
Maine. The flashing sword of the
United States must be drawn for Cu
ban independence and it will be wield
ed by an arm stronger than ever. Ones
uplifted, it should never be lowered
until Spain was driven from the west
ern hemisphere. He read several tel
egrams from prominent citizens of
Washington In order to indicate the
sentiment In that state. One from
the governor declared that Interven
tion without recognition of Inde
pendence would be utterly unsatisfac
tory. Another from the colonel of
the First regiment. Uniformed rank
Knights of Pythias, which had ten
dered to the president its services In
case of war, directed him to withdraw
the offer, as it had been made under
the impression that they would be
called upon to fight Spaniards, not
Cubans.
Mr. Hoar followed Mr. Turner. He
thought that It was not the time for
Impassioned rhetoric, loud declama
tion. the clapping of hands, and the
stamping of feet, but rather it was the
position of absolute deliberation that
should command such a scene and
such an occasion.
He then argued that the report c.f
cruelty and oppression in the land of
Cuba undoubtedly warranted some
measures which would bring peace,
but he doubted the wisdom of rushing
headlong »nto war until every diplo
matic effort had been made to bring
about an honorable cessation of hos
tilities.
Then, with a voice trembling with
emotion, his head slowly shaking as
the words came forth, he told how a
captain of a company of Infantry
organized In the same town In which
he was born, went forth In the morn
ing of the revolution to hold the bridge
at Concord, and said that he was in
the same position as that captain.
Realizing the tremendous responsi
bilities of his high office he thonght
that whatever was done shoud be done
with cn eye single to the situation. He
said he was born in a cold latitude,
and consequently might look upon
things in a somewhat different light;
an ! then, with hand raised and a pro

this country is to do a great act of in
ternational Justice let us do it calmly
and deliberately.”
After several other senators had
spoken the house resolution was re
ported to -ae senate, and on motion
of Mr. Davis was laid on the table:
A vote was about to be taken on i
the motion to adjourn when Mr. Alli
son called upon Senator Davis to ar
range for an amicable adjournment if
It could be oroug.it about, but the
chairman, seeing adjournment was out

to agree to an amendmen. to adloura
