Washington. May fl.-Another Bir
ring debate on Cuba occurred in tbe
entte today. It of the ..ve-and-take
order, with -harp parliamentary
fencing. The main spcechc were made ,
by Foraker, Cannon, Lindniy and Hoar.
It wa the flnt ipewh of any length
made by Foraker since he entered the
.enate, aud, in addition to this, the
Ohio senator 1 one of the Cuban ub
committee of the committee on foreign
relations. lie spoke in favor of refer
ence of the resolution to a committee,
but declared hi purse of supporting
the resolution recognizing Cuban bellig
erency when it should be reported by
the committee.
Cannon was bitter in hi" denuncia
tion of (Spanish atrocity, characterizing
the captain-general of Cuba a "that
mad dog Weyler."
Limlsav declared that if the informa
tion furnished by United state consul
wan so shocking an to subject them to
danger of assassination if their name
were disclosed, it was timetosend war
shi to Cuba and to terminate, all
diplomatic, relations with that country.
It was dovoloped. in the course of a
colloquy between Foraker, .Morgan and
Vest, that the statu department had
withheld the name of United States
consuls reporting on the serious condi
tion of affair in Cuba becaune it might
lead to their massacre.
Vent declared thut thi presented the
most serious phase of the subject, as it
was time to protect our officials with
warships if their personal liberty was
threatened for makirg reports to their
joverumetit.
No action on tho resolution waa
taken, and Morgan said he hoped to
secure a vote tomorrow on Hale's mo
tion to refer, lie desired to do this,
he said, in order that tho Cuban reso
lution might not antagonize tho tariff
bill.
When the Cuban resolution came up.
Chandler moved that the adjournment
today ho until Monday, disclaiming at
the same time any intention on the
part of the opponents of the resolution
to delay action. The debate proceeded
on Chandler's motion, and branched off
into unexpected channels.
Vest said ho had seen statements to
the effect that tlueo members of the
committee ou foieign relations had
visited the state department and had
had access to the evidence furnished by
United States consuls. Why was it
that three senators had this information
and the senate did not have it?
Morgan answered that three senators
on the committee had Is-en sent as a
Nuhcommittcc to the president and sec
retary of state to confer on the Cuban
subject. They had received certain in
formation, and tho injunction was laid
tiMin them that the name of General
Leo wa not to be used in connection
with tho information.

The Mending or Food to Americans In
CuIim Is No t'ont-frn tif Siitin,
Washington, May 21. In an author
ized interview, the Spanish minister,
Dupuy do Isune, broke his diplomatic
silence, and said:
"I am going at once to call on the
president and express my gratitude for
liis splendid action and the kindly con
sideration shown in the wording of hi
message. Notw ithstanding the activity
of the papers that are hostile and nil
jmt, our cause has a:.un triumphed.
Wo are stronger today with President
McKiuley and Secretary Sherman than
we ever were with the Cleveland ad
ministration. "Spain ha no objection whatever to
the United States helping her own citi
zens now resident in Cili a and alleeed
to lie in distress. The way that tho
charity is distributed is cntltclv tho
Hll.iir of the United stales, and not
that of Spain.
"This government expresly state
that only Americans are to lie rclicxod,
therefore no authority is asked to feed
the subjects of Spain. If Aineiican
have suffered through exigencies of war,
it is their misfortune to be in Cuba at
this particular tune. Spun does uot
care if the United states maintains her
citizens in luxniy, ,. l,mg s she dis
tributes her bounty thiough the con
sular agents and only in the towns."

Hamilton, a contractor, his wife, Mrs.
Catherine Hamilton; his son, Leo, aged
s, who lived in Denver until recent
lv, were murdered in a small village
near Helena, Mont., three weeks ago,
and the crime suppressed in order to j
enable Montana authorities to trace the ,
murderers. I
Mr. Hamilton, who had lived in Den
vor JO years, disposed of his property i
here last l'ebiuary, and left with h.s ,
family, going first to Oregon ami later j
to Montana. Near Helena, it is said,
he engaged in hrickmaking. Accord- j
ing to the roHrt which has reached j
friends of the family in this city, Mr.
onl Mis. Hamilton were found dead in
Is'd with their throats cut.
Miss Hamilton was also dead in bed
with her throat cut, and many bruises
I. her body. It is stated that appear
mivs indicated that an attempt had
been made to outrage her, and that she
was killed after u struggle before her
i-sailauts had accomplished their fiend

i . i . . , . . .
na nun it lias now uinler consn oral inn
tl. propriety of at
1 ' i
iliug to congress
to amend tht
resolution under which
it is proceeding.
That resolution requires the grain to
carrict m an American vessel. It
happens that there are verv few Amori-
can steamers outside of the regular lines
and t !..,., . " .
with tho terms of the act of congress
unless it turns lo a sailing ship. Such
u ship could not reach Bombay in
much less than I)1., months, bv which
" tl"' famine sufferers, for whom the
relief is intended, might be expected to
U' cither starved to death or in posses
sion new crops of rice. Therefore, un
less mi American steamer can be pro
cured at New York in a few days, it is
probable congress will be asked to re
move the injunction and allow the de
partment to charter a steamer of an
other nationality, whuh may be al
lowed to carry the American" fla,- for
the invasion. A steamer is wanted also
at Sun Francisco for a like purpose, but
it is said the need is not so pressing.
