THE CUBAN RESOLUTIONS TOOK THE LEAD
licry Debates in the Senate in Which Iromincnt Lenders Took Tart
Extraordinary Demonstration in the Galleries Which the Vice
President found Grcnt Difficulty in Suppressing
Washington Tebruary 25 Tho senate was storm inept today by such pas-
sionate debate bucu extraordinary demonstrations in tho crowded galleries and
such dramatic personal exchanges between the conspicuous figures of tho senate
as to make the day ono of the most metnorablo In tho annals oJ the upper branch
of congress Cuba was tho theme and seemed to stir all tho pent up emotions ot
months It brought about tho complete displacement of appropriation bills and
tho adaneemcnt of tho Cnban question to tho ery front of senato business It
disclosed also that tho resolution demanding of Spain tho Immediate and uncondi-
tional release of Julio Sftngullly having on a test oto secuivd tho right of way
would he resisted by prottacted debate Tho Allen resolution for sending battle-
ships to Cuba came up soon alter tho senate opentd at 11 a m and Mr Allen so
erely arraigned Spain for cruelties against women and children Mr Moigau
of Alabama who reported the resolution for tho immediate roleafco of Saugullly
followed In a calm speech rccltlnsriho breach of treaty rights In Sangulllys case
Mr Duulel ot Virginia In a fervid plea for Saugullly sthred all the latent pas-
sion of tho senate He spoke of Spanish outrages to American cltlzcua and Insults
to American officials
Whtn Mr Halo of Maine sought to Interject ouestlons Mr iaulel suggestively
stated that ho would jleld In due time whether It bo to tho organ of tho captain
general of Cuba ot the qui en ot Spalu or of any one else
Jn Akw ot Mr Hales attltudo on the Cuban question the meaning was unmis-
takable Personal ftellng was quieted however by mutual explanations This was
followed by a scries ot cvplusho Incidents culminating with a ringing declaration
Ly Mr Tije that if he had bis way a warship would start forthwith tor Ilavani
This sent a thrill throuc li tho crowded galleries which broko Into long continued and
vociferous applause which tho vlco iiesldent tried vainly to restrain
Mr Mills exultlngly declared that the cnllerlis wcro filled with American clll
Ens who had a right to express their feelings
Speeches followed In quick succession from Mr Lodge Mr Teller Mr White
and Mr Sherman The latter earnestly suoDorted tho icsolutlon With tho Cuban
resolution placed directly beforo tho senate on a vote Mr Wblto ot California took

Washington February 23 Tho Cuban
resolutions were taken up promptly by tho
senato today
The first resolution coming over from
jesterday was that of Mr Allen asking tho
president to use effective measures to pro-
tect Amtricau citizens in Cuba and lo that
end to sind United States warships to Cu-
ban ports
Mr Allen atd American citizens were
dailj being arrested In Cuba and thrown
Into prison without any trial many ot them
being drilled access to tho United States
consul general It seemed to be the disposi-
tion ot Spain to punish every American clil
itn in Cuba It was ho said a story full
ot barbarity and atrocity Recently a lady
had been taksn by Spanish officials and her
person searched under circumstances of ex-
treme cruelty Little girls had been gath-
ered up In Cuba and told Into tho worst
eoncelvablo slavery sold Into a life of
shame Spanish soldiers had taken Infants
held them up by their heels hacked them
to plctei with tho doadlv machete and
then killed the parents Such action was a
blot on Llvill7ation Why bhould longress
remain supine The time would coma when
this Inaction would make our people hang
their heads for being American citizens
Mr Moigan said the committee on for-
eign relations hod pressed forward their
protection of citizens as fast as the well
authenticated facU would permit Tho rt
poils of atrocities against women and Ultlo
glrlb were > ague and did not hao verifica-
tion warranting action by the conunlttee
It had howcer brought In tho resolution
regarding Saugullly as the fact In the case
were established bejond question
Mr Hoar lnuulr d whether some time
should not bo glien benators to examlno
Into tho Saugullly report as action on the
subject Invohcd great Internationa consid-
erations
Ml Morgan felt that speedy action was
essential lie reviewed tho circumstances
of Sangulll > 8 arrest and long confinement
tho pioof of his American rttlzenshlp his
freidom fiom complicity ulth the evolu
tion his several trials and other well known
circumstances in tho case
Whllo the Cuhan debateprogressed tho
public galleries filled rapidly many of tho
Daughters of the Revolution now attending
tho convention here being present
Mr Morgan rrad from the treaties and
pointed out the essential offenses against
Sanguilly lo be Solitary confinement with
out opportunity to preparo a riefente no
ball except bond lo pay the costs of hl3 own
pretention no trill within a limited time
as prriiled by tiefty piling up of other
charges of kidnapping Irregularities ot the
several trials retelling hcaisay and un
sworn testimony
One of SangullljH chief witnesses Ca
lonia he said had been shot In tho prison
vard beforo he tould be Veaid oa SangUllljn
behalf The trials had shown the extreme
hatred existing against the United States
the Spanish officials Indulging in diatribes
agalnit this country Tho resolution de-
manding Immediate releaso was Justified
Mr Mcrgsn sold on the sole ground of Ir
regularity In trial for never In tho history
of Jurisprudence was there a case where
there was less show of reason for a com Ic
tjon Rut the resolution was urged on still
higher grounds namely that the govern-
ment of Spain utterly Igiortd the tights or
this American citizen under our treaties
The rase stood on the same rights as those
of an American met chant vessel fired upon
by Spain on the high seas
At the request of Mr Morgan tho Allen
resolution was referred to the eommltten on
foreign relations the assuranco being given
that It would iccelio speedy consideration
The Ptuigullly resolution was then brougnt
directly beforo the senate
Mr Daniel Dcm of Virginia followed
In support of the resolution Few were
aware he said ot tho enormity of this case
Ssngullly had been held for two years yes-
terday Twice ho had been condemned to
sqlltary confinement In chains on unsworn
testimony He had been treated rigorously
harshly and brutally The manner of his
ireatment was a disgrace to this clvlllza
Our ttnresentatlve In Cuba has been ar
rogjntly Insulted bv the fiDwish authori-
ties exclaimed Mr Daniel and this
countrv has been Insulted hy the Spanish
authorities T have hepn told by a high
Spanish authority that the presentation ot
i ft v
the Saugullly case was a disgrace to the
LnlUd States and tho American flag If a
licet of tho United States hail been sent to
ledress that Insult It would have befii sus-
tained by oi cry citizen ot the United
Slates
Ihere was Intense Interest throughout the
senate and In the gallerlis as Mr Daniels
words rang through tho chamber It was
bu iho prelude honeier to a most dra
mnllc episode
Mr Daniel said enough diplomatic red
tape had been spun on this case to build
a cahlo from tho United Stales to Spain and
enough Ink for nn ocean In which to lay
the cable
Mr Halo Rep of Maine roso at this
point and began u series of Inquiries whlih
brought tha pioeeedlncjn to ftur heat
Since referenco had been mado to red
tape raid Mr Hale had not this whole
miction been tho Biihjcct ot direct diplo-
matic negotiations between the state de-
partment ond Spain nnd was there not as-
surances of expecting tho release ot San
guilly In a few JaisT
We have nn such Information answered
Mr Daniel
Is theic not a communication from the
secretary ot state saying ho expects Pan
culllv will he released la a few class In-
sisted Mr Hale
There Is not said Mr Daniel decis-
ively
1 ask the scnalnr from Ohio Sherman
If he has not a letter
Mr Daniel hrokn In with a protest nnd
declined to yield further
Mr Hale Insisted tl at Mr Daniel was a
member of the committee on foreign rolv
Hour and that committee was tho organ of
tho senate
Rut I am the organ of my slotr de-
clared tho Virginia senator
Then be added with srnrn When I get
tl rough I will Held to some other organ
the orgjn of the captain geneial of Cuba or
tbn queen of Spain
Mr Daniel was looking directly at Mr
Halo nnd the remsiKs sent a buzz of sur-
prise thiough tho chaniDer
Mr Hale said tho allusion carried no
Dcironnl offense n him
If offenslie things were to bo said he
rould nav something In that line lie In
turn was addressing Mr Daniel iciosa ho
aisle
The Virginia senator was quick to say
that he hoped any badlnago would not bo
taken as personally offensive
Tho cenator has not offended me In the
least replied Mr Hale
This was followed Immediately bs an-
other explanation Mr Daniel proceeded
to sav that the stnto department had dealt
with this case for two > ean > nnd two > earn
was enough to get an American citizen out
of prison
Hero Mr Gray arose and said I hae
Just Ecen an Associated Press dispatch from
Havana stntlng that the counsel for San
gullly has withdrawn tho appeal In order
to facilitate his release
Mr Ranle wac quick to answer throw-
ing gieal energy Into his words
I decline to recognize tho Justlco of Im-
posing any condition on tho releaso of an
American citizen from unjust Imprison-
ment If Sangulll In despair has sub-
mitted to the tiranny of Spain nnd by iea
soii of sickness poiertj nnd delay on the
part of his government to respect his rights
It is a humiliation to the United Stiles that
he has been compelled to withdraw an ap-
peal as a condition ot his rclesse U I
represented Sanguilly I would telegraph
him not to withdraw his appeal There are
enough i > eoplo In this country to demand
his unconditional release
Mr Hale again Interrupted reading tho
Atsoclated Tress dispatch that Saugullly
had withdrawn tlip appeal In order to facil-
itate a release
Mr Frye tho colleague of Mr Halo
stepped Into tho middle aisle and 1n tones
which rang throughout the chamber nald
If the counsel for Sanguilly has done that
be has done an Inexcusable unjust act
Mr Halo souRht to Interpose How can
tho senator say that ho asked his col-
league
Because anjwered Mr Frye with
strong emphasis If this counsel has with-
drawn that appeal then that man Is a con-
victed criminal liable to punishment to
Imprisonment for life ami can only escape
by pardon and If he escapes by pardon then
he loses for himself und family all claims
for dsmages against Spain That Is what
Spain has been contending for all the time
Now wo contend on the other hand ihat
the man has been unjustly convicted that
ho has not been treated according to treaty
rights that he has not been treated accord-
ing to International law and that Spain
must deliver him up to us and It I had my
< a itXi > < <
way a shlpofwar would start forthwith
to Havana to deliver Mm
Mr Frjes words carried nn electric ef-
fect to he ciowded galleries and there was
such a tumultuous and long continued item
onslrallon such as no other branch ot con-
gress has heard In lccent yvars
Tho ke president strove vainly lo check
the outburst lie rose tj his feel pounded
the gavel and amid tho din gave a men-
acing warning lo tho galleries that they
vould be cleared It Iho demonstration was
continued
This Is tho semto or tho United States
tsld the vice piesldent sternly
Mr Mills Dcm ot Texas quickly on
his feet Tho galleries ale filled with
Ameilran elllrrns ho exclaimed and
they have n right lo express their ficllnns
on every question
Finally outer wan restored
Mr Halo had again risen nnd wllh n
tlLgo of bitterness in his words said of the
statement which aroused an outbreak
The senator has told the whole story It
la not tho icleaso ot Sanguilly that Is want-
ed War Is what Is wanted And I say Hint
this country will not bo dilven to war la-
the next eight days
Tho storm subsided anniewhat ns Mr
Hoar turning to tho report on the Sanguil
ly cose pointed out some Indefinite fea-
tures lo It
Mr Hoar Interrupted with some ques

In It exclaimed Mr Daniel
Mr Drillers peroration was a fervid plevi
for a demand for an unconditional surren-
der of our compatriots back lo us from tbn
brutal tiranny which is tho curse of Spain
and th disgnco ot civilization
Mr Hoar iiRiiln biought forward tho
rlUm ot Spngulllj s citizenship asserting
that his naturalization impels wero fraud-
ulently obtained and that hi was no more
an Aim riran citizen than was Senator Dnu
lei a citizen of Turkey Though this state-

do desire that every American bhall have
tho fullest protection of the American gov-
ernment
Mr Hoar pointed out tho Irregularity of
Sangulllys papers
Mr Teller now took tho floor for a brief
hut passionate speech favoring the resolu-
tion This technical quibble over tho nat-
uralization was without a parallel ho be-
gan The facts were ample to require Im-
mediate ai lion Such action might bo fu-
tile The icnate had passed a resolution lot-
to OrceCB and the secretary of state had
nfused to trantrnlt It to Oreece
It Is a part ot the puillanimous cop
duct of the state department during tho last
two joars exclaimed Mr Teller Ho did
not expect much more from the next ad
mctralrn but he added with Intense
f dlnc I hank God this administration

He coitlaued by saying thai lonui seemM

Retelling to Mr Shermans reference to
the fact that Mr Morgan had repented the
resolution Mr While said vir Blurman
could not escapo tho responsibility for the
course pursued Mr Shermans com so
mlrht bo consistent In that iw > iiaors opln
Ion but to his Whites mind It was far
rem consistent Mr White then enteied
upon n technical ligal argument lo show
lhat tho exercise of diplomatic action bo
longed exclusively to the executive depit
ment which matter constituted the main
part n his speech
At ri30 p m whllo Mr White was villi
speaking Mr Allison asked lhat unanim-
ous consent be given for a recess from 6

considered at the night session
Mr Itlll objected remarking sotto voce

Chilian resolution
When Mr Allison asked for an ogrco
