A SPEECH BY SENATOR CULLOM
Appeal to American People to Avenge
the Atrocioos Harder of the .
- - ' Maine Men.
Washington, April 15.
The prospects are now that
.the debate in the senate will
not end today (Friday).' There
will be a night session, per
haps lasting long into the eve
ning. An effort will be made
by the conservative senators
to secure an adjournment at
6 o'clock.
Washington, April 15. At the. sug
gestion of Davis, tbe early morning busi
ness of the senate was set aside and tbe
foreign relations committee's Cuban res
olutions were laid before - tbe senate.
Cnllom of Illinois delivered a carefully
prepared speech, covering the general
Cuban question. He declared the hoar
for action by this country had come.
Spain's black crimes, said be, called
alond for vengeance, and that vengeance
will be taken by tbe American people in
the interest of humanity. Cullom re
viewed the circumstances of the Maine
disaster, and declared it was a "deliber
ate and atrocious murder,"
After making an extended argument
for immediate action, in the course of
which be paid tbe highest tribute to the
president, he - concluded by saying that
if tbe people of this country do nothing
more than drive tbe Spanish barbarians
into tbe Caribbean sea, they shall earn
the praise of every lover of freedom and
humanity the world over. .
'Berry of Arkansas followed Collom.
He spoke of the nearness of war, and
said that to bring victory to the Ameri
can arms it was absolutely necessary to
give the president the aid and comfort
needed in this hour of bis greatest trial.
Then, with impassioned outbursts, he
pledged the Sooth's loyalty to tbe flag.
Daniels was next recognized. His
fame as an orator is known, and there
was a craning of necks to listen to tbe
distinguished Virginian.
"We stand upon tbe edge of war," be
began. "This nation is one with sword
in band, and if tbe word that now hesi
tates npon the lips be spoken and the
command "forward" given, upon some
proud day tbe Stars and Stripes will be
waving over Morro castle and Cabanas
prison."
Daniels skid he bad been for peace,
but that time appeared to have gone by,
and he wanted tq do everything possible
to support tbe president in tbe needs of
tbe hour..
DOSS MOST FIttB FIRST SHOT.
McKinley Will Occupy Cuba Peaceably
If He Caa; Forcibly If He Most.
New Yobk,. April 15. A World spe
cial from Washington says:
The president's present intention is to
give his act of war in' taking possession
of Cuba a humanitarian aspect. He pro
poses to tend merchant vessels loaded
with medicine, food and clothing for tbe
starving Cubans to Havana and Matan
zas. These vessels will be accompanied
by a fleet of 20 warships and by trans
ports carrying regular United States
troops. Tbey will land peaceably and
take possession of the fortified towns,
unless Spaia forces battle on them.
If Spain fires tbe first shot the battle
ships Indiana and Iowa and tbe moni
tors Puritan, Terror and Amphitrite will
instantly begin tbe bombardment of Ha
vana with? their '12 and 13-inch guns.
How long the two-century-old fortifica
tions of Havana with their 17th-century
tnuzzle-loading cannon,' : will stand
against the 68-ion guns of Captain
. Sam peon's fleet , is an interesting ques
tion. '
The bombardment is not likely to last
longer than tbe bombardment of Alex
andria by the British" fleet in'1 883
about four hours. Then'all that will re
main will be to nee torpedoes to clear
Havana harbor of tbe submarine mines,
and the United States will be in posses
sion of the capital of Cuba.
. The president has decided to give Con-eul-General
Lae the "command of the
Virginia volunteers in the event that
hostilities break out between this coun
try and Spain. This decision was
reached altera conference with Secretary
Alger. The matter was first broached
bv a friend of the president, who sug
gested that it would be a good plan to
give Lse a command of some sort in
case of war. The president consulted
with several friends, who advised him
that it would be impossible to appoint
Lee to a command in the regular army.
The president, who is a staunch admirer
of Genernl Lee, was nonplussed. 'Fi
nally the announcement was made from
the War department that in the event of
volunteers being called for, tbe president
would appoint all officers of the rank of
colonel una above, and officers under
that rank would be appointed from the
various states from which tbe volunteers
were received.
When the call for volunteers is iesued,
Virginia, General Lee's state, will fur
nish her quota, and the president will
designate General Lee as commander of
the forces from the Old Dominion. Ow
ing to General Lee's great knowledge of
the topographical condition of Cuba, it
is more tban likely that his command
will be given orders to at once proceed
to Cuba. . . ". . : ; .'.
General Lee has announced his will
ingness to return to Havana at the head
of an invading army, and doubtless he
will be allowed to go upon tbe opening
of hostilities. A member of tbe senate
proposes to introduce a special resolu
tion, wbereunder tbe president may ap
point General Lee a major-general of
voluntefere. - - -

! VOTES ON RECOGNITION
The- .Resolution Provides for
Armed Intervention.
NO INTENTION TO ANNEX ISLAND
Stirling Speeches Close the Four Day's
Debate Twenty-Fire Senators
Were Heard.
Washington, April 16. The United
States senate has spoken. Its voice is for
war war until tbe saffron flag of Spain
shall have been furled in the - Western
hemisphere, and fnrled forever.
Its voice, too, is for the independence
of tbe infant republic of tbe Gem of tbe
Antilles.. "Free Cuba and tbe independ
ence of -the island republic" was tbe
shibboleth of the senate throughout the
four days of debate which came to an
end tonight.
While the verdict returned was de
cisive, it U just to Bay that it is not final,
Notes of discord almost forebooding in
their tones were sounded. .This fore
boding was not due in any sense to
anxiety about the leault of the impend
ing conflict. It was prompted by a fear
lest, if tbe action taken by the senate
should ultimately be accepted as final,
this government might become involved
in complications that' in future years
should prove serious. '
At 9:10 o'clock the Davis resolutions
those reported from the committee on
foreign relations, amended so as to in
clude tne. recognition of tbe republic of
Cuba were passed by a vote of 67 to 21,
as a substitute for the resolution adopt
ed by tbe bouse. , "
No less tban twenty-five senators ad
dressed themselves. to tbe momentous
question under consideration during the
day, and it was not until tbe first vote-
that on tbe amendment of Turpie, , pro
viding for recognition of tbe island re
public bad been taken, that the senate
was brought face to face with the tre
mendous importance of its action.
The scene in the chamber of many
historic debates was ona of Incomparable
solemnity and impressiveness. ', Tbe gal
leries, which had been filled apparently
to their utmost capacity throughout tbe
day, were massed with brilliantly at
tired women and men distinguished in
all walks of public and private life.. On
the floor was every member elected to
the senate save one, Wiftball, who was
again detained from his seat by serious
illness." . .':
Probably tbe most notable utterances
of the closing hours of the debate were
made tonight. Hale, Gorman, Allison,
Aldricb, Jones of Arkansas, and Hoar,
all deeply impressed ty the magnitude
and possibly awful consequences of tbe
step about to be taken, addreesed tbe
senate with an eloquence and solemnity
born only of the most profound feeling
for their country's welfare. As tbe
words fell from their lips the chamber
thrilled with an intensity of interest
which bordered upon awe. ;
Tbe test vote, quite naturally, was np
on tbe amendment ofiered by Turpie,
recognizing the independence of the Cu
ban republic. It prevailed by a majori
ty of 14, the vote being 51 to' 37. ,
Representatives Grosvenor and Ding-
ley were in conference with tbe presi
dent tonight. The visit of the former
is understood to -be in cennection with
the coarse to be pursued in the bouse
Monday when the senate Cuban resold-
tions will come up. ' Grosvenor, when
leaving, stated tbat be was. not certain
as to what form the resolutions would
take when they finally came up for tbe
president's approval or veto, and that
any prediction as to their ultimate form
just at present would be meraly specula
tion. .

Other Powers tn Take Action Simi
lar to That of England.
New York, April 18. In directing her
colonies to regard coal as contraband of
war in the event 'of hostilities between
the' United States and Spain, Great
Britain has taken action, American of
ficials say , in lipe with the wishes of the
president and naval officials, says the
Washington correspondent of the Her
ald. .
Pressure will be exerted upon France,
Hayti and San Domingo to accomplish
the bame result, and. some attention is
being given by the state department to
South American countries, with a view
of securing a contraband ' character f
coal, as well as an announced determi
nation on their part not -to sell either to
Spanish or American men-of-war a sup
ply of fuel greater than necessary to en
able tbe belligerent vessel -to steam to
tbe next home port.
So far as tbe Danish West Indies are
concerned, the authorities have pur
chased in their reports.all the coal tbat
it is possible to secure." With coal a de
clared contraband of war, 'administra
tion officials and naval experts say it
will be impossible for Spanish vessels to
operate in the West Indies or the Pacific
and as a result . the chances of success
ipr American arms would be immeasur
ably enhanced. ' " ' (
-' Great Britain's declaration of the con
traband' character of coal will effect tbe
United States enly at one point in the
far East. The United States now has
at Hong Kong six vessels, the cruisers
Baltimore, Olympla, Raleigh and Bos
ton, and gunboats Concord and Petrel
and these ships are awaiting tbe word
to nub to Manila. "
If tbe fortifications of tbe Philippines
should stand off tbe American fleet for
any time, the operations of the vessels
would be greatly embarrassed, for by
England's declaration, her colonists will
be only allowed to Bell to either bellig
erents a supply .only sufficient to take
him to hie home port. ,
Appreciating the position assumed by
the British government, Commander
Dewey, acting under instructions from
Secretary Long, has purchased a large
quantity of coal and stored it on board
two colliers, which will accompany the
fleet to the Philippines. Extended op
perations would necessitate a renewal of
the supply, and the central . position of
Hawaii is pointed to by naval experts
who want it for a naval base. Hawaii
is 4000 miles from the Philippines. Her
position in the family of nations would
com pell her to observe strict neutrality,
and not to favor one belligerent more
than another, but her- annexation, it is
pointed out,' would result in placing sup
plies tor tbe Asiatic squadron 2000 miles
nearer tbe vessels than would be the
case if coal, munitions of war, etc., had
to be shipped from the United States.
It is also pointed out that Hawaii will
find it necessary to sell coal to a Span
ish ves'sel at Honolulu sufficient to. take
it a portion of the way to the next home
port, just as she would sell to an Amer
ican ship.
In the event tbat coal is declared con
traband by France, San Domingo and
Hayti, authorities say it would be im
possible for Spain to secure coal in the
West Indies. .1 .
. Strong representations have been
made to tbe president by Secretary Long
to get him to instruct the secretary of
the treasury to decline to grant clear
ances to ships carrying provisions and
coal to Spanish ports. ". ' " '
Tbe Canary islands will be admittedly
a Spanish base of operations, and it will
be the -effort of this government to
blockade tbem and seize vessels which'
may. try to bring contraband from any
other rountry to them. This will be
especially the case with-Cuba and Porto
Rico. , ,'-'.
In view of "Spains efforts to collect
coal at Havana, no doubt exists in po
litical circles that the naval plan of the
Spanish government contemplates the
dispatch of the fleet to wts:em waters
soon. , .'- - ' " . . '.'

A FIGHTING DIET.
Such la Said to Ce Tbat of the Vege
tarian. .
I regret to say that vegetarianism is
a fighting diet, writes G. B. Shaw in the
London Vegetarian. Ninety-nine per
cent, of the world's fighting has beent
done on farinaceous food. In Trafalgar
square I found it impossible to run
away, as fast as the meat eaters did
Panic is a carnivorous specialty. If the
army were fed on a hardy, healthy,
ficshless diet we should hear no more of
the disgust of our colored troops and of
the Afridis and Fuzzywuzzies at the
cowardice of Tommy Atkins. I ammy
self congenitally timid, bnt ns a vege
tarian I can generally . conceal my
tremors; whereas in my an regenerate
days, when I ate my fellow-creatures, I
was as patient a coward as Peter the
Great. The recent spread of fire-eating:
fiction and Jingo war worship a sort
of thing that only interests the pusil
lanimous is due to the spread of meat
eating. Compare the Tippcfary peasant
to the potatoes-an'd-buttermilk days
with the modern gentleman who gorgea
himself with murdered cow. The Tip
perary man never read bloody-mindedt
novels or cheered patriotic music hall
tableaus, but he fought recklessly andt
wantonly. Your carnivorous gentle
man is afraid of everything including
doctors, dogs, disease, death and truth
telling. '
y ANCIENT GLOVES. !
Made of Chicken Skin and Worn stt
Night In the Sixteenth Century;
The wearing of gloves is a more an
cient custom -'.than-, it; is generally
thought to be. Homer speaTcs of glove
and tells of one who wore them to pro
tect his hands while working in his gar
den, says the Xew..Yovlc Tribune. . The
use of some coverings fcr the hands '
was known to the ancient Persians and
Old Testament writeis also mention
them. They were in such common tree
among the Romans that the.v were worn
even in the wild country by the Britons.
St. Anne, the mother of the Virgin
fary, was. it has been said, a. knitter
and manufacturer of .gloves, for which
reason the glove-makers of France long
ago made her their patron saint. "At
one time gloves had a certain meaning
attached to them; and'- were chosen to
show the character ofiocuration of the
wearer. There are re.cqrds of gloves
being ordered forgfave nnT spiritnat
men." About this time; the sixteenth
century, gloves made of chickens, skins
we're used by both men and women for
whitening the hands and were worn at
