There wan Intense Interest through

hut the prell'dc , however , to a most dram
Incident. Mr. Daniel cald enough dl

to build a cable from the United State ;
Spain , and enough Ink for an ocean In wl

UKI1ATU GKOWS WAH.M.
Mr. Hale , republican of Maine , arose

which brought the proceedings to fever h
"Since reference had been made to

Mr. Hale Insisted that Mr. Daniel wi

the Ernnte.
"But I am the organ of my state , "
clareil the Virginia senator. Then he ad
with erorn. "When I get through , I
yield to tome other orgin the organ of

Mr. Daniel was looking dlreclly at
Hulo nnd the icmark xent a buz ? of surp

Mr. Hulo said the allUKlon carried no
bonal offense to him. If offensive till
weio to be said , he could say somothliu

The Virginia senator was quick to
ho hoped that any badinage would not

"Tim benator has not offended me In

This wus followedImmcdlalcb bv anol

that the Stole department has dealt \

to get an American citizen out of Jail ,
Here Mr. Gray aroi-p and eald "I li

Mr Halo again interposed , reading ; the

Into the middle of tbo aisle and said :

Mr. Halo sought to interpose "How

"Uecause , " answered Mr. Prje , "if

to the contrary , and that the reports t
General Leo has demanded war ships i
that he has resigned because the govc

apparently from violence , In a Cuban . '
within forty-eight hours and that anotl
American citizen , Charles Pranklln Sec

nearly 300 hours In plain violation of Amc
can treaty rights.
General Leo's demands that Mr. Scott

consul general had reason to apprehend tl
Scott's llfo was In Imminent peril ,
cabled the facts to the State department
Saturday and asked If he might count on I
support of the government of the Unll
States If ho should need It. No reply v
received from Secretary Olney.
General Leo then cabled to Secretary (
ney Ihal be should resign If he was i
backed up promptly. Secretary Olney mo
a long response , the tenor of which I s
unable to state , but as a icsult of Gene
Leo's vigorous protest , the Spanish g <

HIS RIGHTS OUTRAGED.
Ills confinement prior to Monday eve
Ing for twelve dajs In a dungeon , be > o
the reach ot protection of his govcrnmc
and ignorant o\en of the charges agali
him , was a flagrant violation by Spain of t
rights guaranteed to all American cltlrc
arrcsled without arms in their hands.
The relnllons helicon General Lee a
the State department are still straliu
General Lee continues to act with t
grcalest vigor In the line of duty , assuml
that tlio government at Washington w
now support him. The emphatic prot (
has had this effect at least. There Is
longer any reason to apprehend Immedls
danger to any American now nllvo and cc
fined In any Cuban jail.
But If a new crisis should arise nnd
Secretary Gluey should fall , as be did le
v.eck , to glvo General Lee prompt nnd ae
quato aulhorlly to act , General Lee w
Immediately resign.
Again , I repeat he has not yet reslgnc
and has not naked for war ships. If ho
constrained to do either within the nc
five clays , my own absolute knowledge
the slluatlon hero leads mo lo prcdlcl th
he will have the unanimous support of t :
people of the United States , and the go
eminent at Washington has been apprls
of General Lee's Intentions.
