bis attention vns called to a published
statement that Captain denerat Blancos
trip to tho eastern part ot Cuba wns for
the purpoto ot conferring with Ucticrnl
Ocmcx looking to terms of penco
JIIh purpose In going there I think Is
to assist In bolstering up as far as poixlblo
tho Spanish cause continued Juesada
It has boon live days slnco jve have heard
from tho operations of tho armies In that
flection of the island General Pnndo the
Spanish commander was severely wounded
nod may bo dead wind tho Spanish army
thoro Is in a badly dcmorallrod condition
and Ilhtncos Visit I think Is for tho
pntrposo ot strengthening tho lines mid
giving tho troops what encouragement ho
can Shortly after Manco was appointed
to his present position rSencral tames
addressed blm en Ho had Martinez do Cam
pos a letter urging him for humanitys
nalio to iiho his Influence with Spain to
slop tho bloodshed and bring tho war to
nn end on tho basis of Independence for
Cubit lly this moans Spain would get
Ibo glory of acting as a mother to her sou

Washington January 26 For more than
six hours today the senate had under dis-
cussion tho Teller resolution providing that
tho government must pay tho principal
and Interest of tho bonds of thu UMUd
States In Bllver Uy agreement tic resolu-
tion nnd pending amendment aro to bo
voted upon licoro adjpurnmcut tomorrow
Tho debato today was devoid of the sen
sntlomil Incidents nnd acrimonious collo
quys which characterized that of yesterday
but It was replcto with argument and ora
tory Tho tlmo was consumed by Mr Tel-
ler tho author of tho resolution and Mr
Daniel of Virginia who supported the
resolution aud by Messrs Hoar aud Piatt
in opposition to it All delivered st
speeches oxctpl Mr Hoar whoso speech
was ln reply to sonic points advanced by
Mr Teller > esterdny No other biislncsi
was transacted
At tho opening of the senate today Mr
Unlo Me presented tho report of the
conferees on tho urgent deficiency bill and
tho report was agreed to
Mr Chandler X H secured the adop-
tion of n lesoluttou calling uron tho at-
torney general for a report ns to whether
thero fravo been recent violations of thu
constitution In Louisiana by tho exclusion
from service of Juries In tho United States
torn tB of duly qualified citizens ou atcount
of color
Upon motion of Mr Vest Mo the sen-
ate took up the Toller resolution Tho de-
bate wns opened by Mr Teller Colo the
author ot the resolution Ho said he woud
permit no man to excel him In honor or lu
good faith I would do nothing ha said
that would bring about such a condtton
nf affairs ai would bo disgraceful whatever
tho opinion of tho senator from Massachu-
setts Hoar may bo of my opinio si or
convllcUonn Tho Massachusetts senator
tried to make It appear tlut my position
was on a parallel with tho making of a
10 piece out of a copper cent Such a pio
poHitlou I do not ndvance and I do not
think It would receive much support lu
this or any legislative bod >
Mr Toller maintained that tho exiting
rontrnit concerning the money in which
bonds of tho United States were piynblo
cculd not be changed without atloi of
congress ono ot tht paities to the eou
tiact aud that tho government had a rigbt
to all the advantages the contjact af-
forded it
Mr Fahhanks Ind asked Mr Teller
whether tho present secrctaiy of the treas-
ury was now paying out only gold In
liquidation of tho bonded obligations ot
tho government
Mr Teller said his bellcr was that lie
administration was paying the Inteiest on
coin obligations of the government no
such obligations themselves having ma
tured in gold
I have absolute Information said Mr
Fairbanks Hint tho administration Is
paving the obligations I refer to In legal
louder notes On Januiiy 1 seven million
of dollars matured and I am Informed by
tho secretary nf tho treasury that theso
bonds wero paid In not la sold not In
silver but in legal tender notes
If that be so said Mr Teller we
might as woll discontinue this debate nnd
tnko a into on tho pending resolution
nowThe
The point had been reached thought Mr
Toller when the effort might bo mado by
Iho National administration to put the
country on a gold basls Ho thought theie
had been ton much sophistry and evasion
upon the flnunelal question among those
who discussed it during the past twontv
J cars nnd In his
opinion tho lime had ar-
rived for nil parties to walk Mpiarcly up
to tho cannons mouth ot the question and
deal fairly and honestly with themselves
nnd the people
In iespouse to a statement by Mr Teller
that 202000000 of boms wcio sold for tho
purpose of maintaining tho gold standard
Mr Hear Iowa Fad It wns well known
that more than 200000000 ot those bonds
wero sold to meet a doficlency In tho treas-
ury
This Kliitement was flatly contradicted
by tbo Colorado soiinlor who maintained
that there wns no neusdty for the sile
of bonds to meet cut rent expanses when
thoro was plenty ot silver to meet prctsinir
obligations from the govcinmenl
Ueferrlng In tho mur30 ot his rcmnrka
to the presidential contest of 1S9C Mr Tel
ler said that no political campaign In this
country had ever btv characterized by
such bitterness ncrlmony and vindictive-
ness Ho conceded the right of others lo
differ from him on this nml other qmi
tlotiB but ho ought to bo accorded tho
saiuo right and tho liberty ot the people
not only of this country but of tho world
depended on tho rightful solution of the
flnnnclal question Ho had a right to
speak hero for the great masses ot the poo
ole and he took ndvnntagc of It because
he felt thnt tho fastening of the gold stand
ard upon tho country would simply make
our pcoplo hewers of wood and drawers of
water
Mr Hoar Mass followed In a fcpoech
In which ho maintained tho position he
took yesterday that the question under
consideration was ono of honor und Intcg
7 nt of law ° sa11 hnt ho odvo
catcs of the ponding resolution maintained
that by n erlmo the prco of silver had been
reduced until tho silver In a dollar was
worth only 41 cents yet tho

who iLiule tho charge of that crime ad
vocatod the payment ot the uovernment a

Mr Hoar said It had been midc evident
