WASHINGTON , Peb 0 Par more- than
three hours today the senate chamber rang
with the eloquent appeals In behnlf of the
Cuban Insurgents Announced speeches were
delivered by Mr Cannon of Utah and Mr.
Mason of Illinois In advocacy of the adop
tion of icnolutlwis which the ) presented to
the senate ycstcnhy.
Polloulim Mr Cannon's speech Mr. Halo
of Malno addressed the senate brlell } , urging
the senate to uphold the policy of the ad
ministration He pointed out that much had
already been accomplished by President
McKlnley , tiot only for the cause of peace
on the Island , but also for the protection of
Americans and American Interests and for
the rellof of concentrados and paclflcos Ho
maintained that It would not be good policy
by the adoption of any drastic declaration
to place the administration In leading strings
that mlijht Interfere with the curriiiB Into
effect of a defined policy.
When Mi Cannon nroso to address the
senate the gnllorlts were pnckcd with people
who were nwnre that this would be a Meld
day of Cubon oratory Mr Cannon s speech
was a calm and dispassionate argument In
support of his resolution Ho did not , ho
maintained , desire to disturb the peace or
welfire of this government but ho warned
congressmen anil administration otllnlils that
uiless deilntto action was taken upon the
Cuban question by the United States the
band of the people would fall on them He
dcclaicd that In the conflict In Cuba Spain ,
afraid to meet the Insurgents In the field ,
had ipsorted to a polio of briber ) and
statvatlon This , ho believed , the Amrrl-
enn people could not be brought to approve
Mr Mason followed Mr. Hale in n long
and at times Her ) speech , In which he urged
the president immediately to Intervene in
the Cuban war and the struggle which on
both sides had become so brutal ns to shock
the sensibilities of the clvlll/cd world He
di-icu&bed from the viewpoint of an Intel-
national lawcr the right of the United
States to intervene to put an end to the
war. nnd then with elfectlve satire de
nounced ns a piece of Spanish fraud and
chleaner ) the scheme of autoaoni ) which
Spain was now oiuleavoikig to enforce in
Cuba "

By what authority ho jsked , aid any pub

talk would result from the discussion of

"thnt somethlnsr moro harmful than talk

Referring to the situation nj It was pie-
sentoil when Mr McKlniey nssumed the

ulmost enrthl ) omnipotence which the picsl-

SPANIARDS OI'POSi : IT
Mr Canmo i thought it peculiar ! ) H'gnlfl- '
rant thnt over ) Spnnlard and every Spanish
Sinpnthl7er was oppcv-ed to the recognition
of the belllgeiency of thp Cuban patriots ,
vvhllo ever ) Cuba-i had maintained from the
first that such recognition would be of muh
advantage as to onnb e them to wrest vle-
toiy fiom what otherwise inl lit pa lbl ) be

Mr Cannon said that the present policy waste
to hold the Cubans while Spitn outraged nml
pillaged the Island. ' I bollevo that ono
strong , bi'ivo wcrd spolu'ii In time will nbso-
lutelv frpc- Cuba and I am flrmlj of the belief
that the result of such a vvoid would not be

All this had been dcoe. but the result of

Mr Oinnon that the people nt large wnntei

they could have gone to Cuba to do It.
He asked and paused for n repl ) , for the

Mr. Hale conttovertod the statement tha
the administration had been covvardl ) In ll
treatment of the Cuban question He clcEoi
with a motion to refer the resolution to the
committee on foreign relations , which vvns
done without division
MVSON IS UKCOGNIZKU
Mr Mason was then recognized nnd the
expectancy of the great crowd which swelled
the galleries was at Its keenest pitch. He
had waited this opportunity smilingly and
taken occasional notes ot Mr. Hale's speech
He stood In front of the republican sldp ol
the chamber , occasionally stepping Into the
fiont area There was a buzz of comment
as ho arose and his resolution was rcail
from the desk Ho began to speak In nn
easy , conversational way , but gradual ! )
warmed to the subject
He had hesitated long , ho said , as ho
feared that by some Incautious step ho might
Injure rather than benefit the Cuban cause ,
Hut ho was ready to make the stop now ,
feeling that any blame must fall on him , but
ho assumed personal responsibility.
"I deny the Insinuation , " anld he sharply ,
"that this Is nn attempt to put the adminis
tration Into lending strings " HP was a ro-
publlenn nnd vvns proud of the patriotism
of the executive Hut , Mr Mason said , ho
spoke his personal feelings on the subject
of Cuba.
"I nm charged with eeeklng war , " ex
claimed the senator , ' but mj resolution Is
for peace. Ono word from this administra
tion would bring pence to this continent and
umlei the providence of God wo bellevo It
would bring Independence to Cuba "
There was a burst of applause nt this dec
laration
Ho icferrcd hi Icily to the trip made by
Captain General Ulnnco tbiough the Island
riding , ns he did ride In an nimored car
under n heavy escort of Spanish troops
TUAVKLS WITH A GUARD
"Thus he went , " declared Mr Mascci
1 leaving men , women and children to starve
vvhllo the funds which were placed In his
hands to rellovp the distress of the recon-
centrados and paclflcos vvcro betoig used to
appeal as bribes to the Cuban leaders with
Itching palms "
Mr Mason then read n letter purporting
to ho the nnswei of General Cionicv to Gen
eral Hlanco's offer of n vessel to enable him
( Gometo ) leave the island of Cuba in
safety
' Think of this grand old soldier , bravo as
ho is , " shouted Mr Mason , "fighting for n
count ! ) ho loves , fighting In stoim and sun
shine fighting , 'oo , with the knowledge
that bis own son had been sacrificed to the
cnusc Think of him being approached bv
that bilbe-glver , that military prostitute
Illanco with n pltinil bribe for his honor"
He sail Wopr ] had auccecdeJ in killing
hundieds of thousands b > bis pollc ) of con
centration There could , he sn d , be no
vicarious atonements for n national cilmc
and law of compensation would demand the
punishment of the crimes hero Inflicted
\\hllo these men and women were starving
the senator said , the bucketshops sent us
price lists "As for ire , ' he exclalmeJ , "I
catnot give attention to pork prices In II1I-
ncy s so long ns this condition of affairs con
tinues In Cuba These stock Jobbeis tell
us that war is hell All right , In Cuba it is
uouse than hell ' ' Dante , he said , plctuicil
with nm hailed pea the horrors of hell , but
was Incapable of depleting the terroia of
life In one of the coicentrado camps
Continuing , Mr Mason said that when the
bucket shops write the legislation of the
countr ) the evil di ) Is upon it. The re
publican party had promised to put a stop
to this condition of affairs , and no man had
a right to Interdict this resolution , let him
tlt in the white house or elsovvhcTe
At this pant the applause was vociferous
and It requlroJ vigorous efforts to secure
order.
CONRIinSS DOCS NOTHING.
Mr Mason deflated that notwithstanding
the dcclaiatloii of the St Louis platform
nothing had been done 'Nothing. " he sal 1
"except to pass a belllgercnc ) lesolutlon in
the senate , and , " he added , amidst general
laughter referring evident ! ) to Spcnkct
Reed , "It Is not certain whether he will
on the other side"
Mr Mason declared Spain was jealous of
oui nearness to Cuba an 1 expressed the
opinion that there was an effort In Spain
to force this countr ) to bii ) Cuba He
said the Spaniards had alwavs been hostile
to the republican institutions of this coun
tr } Indeed , from the beginning of our his-
tor ) there had scarcel ) been an admlnU-
traJcii which had not been compelled to
deal wlih the dad faltn of Spain .Spain
was without honor , without cash , without
credit Its soldiers were conscripts and Its
captain gcncinls either thieves like Wojler
or bilbeglvers like Ulanco "We do not
want thn Island , but If neccssar ) to save
the women and children of the Island l-'t
us foi Gods sake buy It , " said Mr Mason
lie. declared that the autonomy wlilch
Spain had offered to Cuba was a gold brick
vvhlih Spain was trIng to vvoik off on the
president He said the president had been
enl ) the teles.aphlc EUinmar ) furnished b )
thn Spanish mlnlstr ) when he wiotc II'H '
mcRsigo and that thin siimmar ) was the
result of a mere confidence game on the part
of thu Spanish ministry U was evident , ho
said , thnt the president had been deceived ,
ns tlio real scheme was vrlthlicld until the
nicssagn was written.
D ) the lesolutlon which ho had offered
Mr Mason nald that thh country declared
to Spain that It must go from the Island of
Cuba and an ) differences between the United
States nnd the Madrid government Using
out of the declaration would be uettled be
fore the emu IB of the world
SIJTI'LING WITH SPUN
"When wo have fed the starving women

In conclusion , after a more extended ex
planation of his Interest In the Cuban came ,
Mr Mason said
"Aioiind in ) table nt home , whe'ro my
bos are gathered , I see In their fucrs that
Cuban lad of 12 who was taken out by the
Spanish forces to bo shot as a spy Hu
lukid as a favor that the bandage bo ro-

"Mr President. If there Is to bo a war ,
Ut It be u war , not of our aeuklng , not u

On motion of Mr Halo , the reso'utlon was
referred to the committee on foreign rela
tions
Mr Morgati Introduced a lesolutlon re
questing the president to nend to the senate
copies of reports made by the consul general
at Havana and other consuls of the United

also toqueiitlng the president to Inform the
senuto "whether any agent of any govern

The memorial recites that the war in

in a vc-nly average loss in Import and ex
port trade between Cuba and the United
States of $100,000 In this statement me not
Included the heavy sums irretrlevabl ) lost
by t'lo lestruction of the American propel ties
In Cuba , or properties supported by Amoi-

and tobacco plantations , and In respect to
tindo nnd capital the loss to cltl/ens cf the
United States is stated to 'be ' fai greater than
those of all othci parties coneoriiol , not ex
cepting Spain 'Itself '
Like Its tv o predecessois , the sugar crop
of IS97-9S Is vlrtuall ) lost Only about 15
pel cent of the sugir factories of the Island

of our entile tiado with Cuba depends upcn

"If peace Is not PatablUhed before Ma ) o1"
June cf th h ) ear , ' sas the memorial ' then
It Is certain thnt the ) 1S9S-99 sugai crop anil
Jl business depending upon It will bo lost ,
since the plantations , factorle's , rallwasand
business houses in the dilferent sugui dis-
tilcts of the Island will require all the rain )
season of summer and fall to prepare fo"-
next v'nter's ' crop by repairing damaged ma-
chlner ) , llnrs of railways , etc'
"Tho close geographical Juxtaposition of
the island to our own country anl the
natural course r-t trade have brought it
about that in time of peace Cuba finds In

WASHINOTON. Pcb. -Secretary Ullss
has returned to the senate v\lth his unqualified -
qualified disapproval the bill to scttlo on
segregated lands of about twentone miles
In area the Indlins now occupying Annello
Island In Alisk.i , nnd opening thp remain
der to settlement. The secretary snjs he la
convinced that the Indians should bo per
mitted to remain In undisputed possession of
their reservation nnd that no part should be
openc-d to the public Incorporated In the
repoit on the bill Is a communication from
William Duncan a missionary who his
been laboring among the Indians for some
> cars , setting forth nt length why In his
opinion the bill should not become a law.
Ho rpfers to the progress the Indians now
oceupjlng the Island hi\o made , and ex-
presacs the belief that shoull the bill be
enacted Into n law all these ga'lns ' would
bo lost to the people. What the natives
crave of the government In their present
condition Is "protection nnd Isolation from
various 'whites Should the measure pasn , "
ho sajs. "It would not only Injure us mor
ally , tout It would seriously Impoverish us
nuterlnll } . A recent examination. " he
concludes , "shows thnt so far ns present In
dication ROho report which has been
published that the Island Is rich In mineral
deposits , and whflch has been advanced as
ono of thp reasons whj It should be opened
to settlement , Is grosslj exaggerated "
