NO. 44
CUBAN RESOLUTIONS
The Senate Listened to Two
Speeches Yesterday.
LINDSAY WOULD AID THE CUBANS
Even to the Extent f Intervention
This Country Sherman Closed
the Debate.
by
Washington, Feb. 28. The . senate
.galleries were well filled today in antici
pation of the culmination of the Cuban
debate, the final vote being set for 4
o'clock. Shortly after the session
opened Representative Hitt, chairman
of the house committee on foreign rela
tions, was in whispered conference at
Sherman's desk.
Allen withdrew bis resolution for tne
.appointment of Mr. Lloyd aB a senate of
ficial, after a discussion as to adding a
populist official to the rolls.
Sherman then moved that the Cuban
resolutions be taken up. This prevailed
without objection.
Chairman Hitt remained alongside
Sherman as the debate proceeded.
Ttoe floor was yielded for the adoption
of a conference report on the pension
appropriation bill, and. also the paesage
of a bill relating to the anchorage and
movement of vessels in St. Mary's
river.
Lindsay then addressed the senate on
the Cuban resolutions. He said the con
flict. in Cuba was being waged with such
desperation that only one of two results
conld come, either the complete inde
pendence of Cuba, on one hand, or the
utter annihilation of the Cuban people
on the other. The senator stiid he ap
proached the subject from the standpoint
of humanity rather than the law. Dec
larations of sympathy would avail n6"th
ing to the Cubans. The declaration that
they had progressed to the stage of belli
gerents would avail nothing.
'If the United States intends taking
any steps that will avail these struggling
Cubans, those steps ehould be in the di
rection of the ultimate independence of
Cuba," declared Lindsay in stentorian
tones. "In the past the United States
baB not hesitated to take a position re
cognizing the independence under, cir
cumstances similar to those now exist
ing in Cuba, thus justifying the United
States in considering the proposition for
active i ntervention to restore public order
in behalf of humanity. But the resolu
tion, he urged, did not contemplate
active intervention. It extended our
good offices to Spain with a view of se
curing the ultimate independence of
Cuba. Spain contemplated the annihil
ation of all able-bodied men in Cuba in
order to crush this uprising. Spain owed
Cuba as much as Turkey owes to Arme
nia, or as the United States owes to Ven
ezuela, the duty of protection, and if
this protection is not given then the
point has been reached when the United
Stales should move for the severance of
Cuba from Spain."
At 1 :15 Sherman began his speech
closing the debate. He said he felt the
time had come when the United States
must intervene to put an end to a crime
almost beyond description. He referred
to the several pamphlets presented by
Estrada Pa lma, agent and representa
tive of the Cubans in this country, and
said these statements overcame the mis
apprehension that the Cubans were
scattered and unorganized bands. It
showed the organization of the legisla
ture of Cuba and the election of a presi
dent, the latter a man of high character.
It was as complete an organization as
the United States had during the Revo
lutionary war. In the coarse of his
speech he declared he did - not favor
Cuba's annexation to the United States,
but. strongly favored annexation to Mex
ico, a kindred people.
In the House.
Washington, Feb. 28. The house
Highest of all in Leavening Power.

went into a committee of the whole to
day immediately after reading the jour
nal and took np the consideration of the
legislative, executive and judicial ap
propriation bill, thus temporarily post
poning the Cuban discussion.
'GREATER LOVE BATH NO MAN.
A Story Which. If True, Surpass That
of Damon and Pythias.
Chicago, Feb. 23. A special ' from
Springfield, Mo., savs: '
Professor Homer Fuller, of Drury col
lege, announces that he has received a
singular proposition from a wealthy
Massachusetts man, whose identity he
would not disclose. The man offers
Drury a large sum of money if he will
verify thetruth of a war incident which
is alleged to have taken place in Mis
souri, and which, if true, the Massa
chusetts man thinks, equals the story of
Damon and Pythias. The president an
nounces that the college will accept the
oner and requests students to help him
secure positive evidence if such a thing
reallv did occur.
The story is that in the early part of
the war a detachment of Confederate
troops in Missouri took about 4,000 Uniou
prisoners. Twelve of these prisoners
were lined'up and shot without provoca
tion by the Confederate officers. Upon
hearing of this act the commander of the
federal regiment drafted 12 Confederate
prisoners to be shot in retaliation. As
the line was being formed a young man
named William Lear, stepped forward
and asked permission to take the place
of one of the condemned men, who was
his friend. The request was granted,
and Lear was shot iu place of his friend.
Vote Was Decisive.
Washington, Feb. 28. By the over
whelming vote of 64 to 6 the senate to
day adopted a concurrent resolution fa
vorable to Cuban belligerency and
independence. The resolutions adopted
are as follows :
"Resolved, By the seribte, the house
of representatives concurring, that, in
the opinion ot congress, a condition of
public war exists between the govern
ment of Spain and the government pro
claimed and for some lime maintained
by force of arms by the people of Cuba ;
and, that the United States of America
should maintain a strict neutrality be
tween the contending powers, according
to each all the rights of belligerents in
the ports and territory of the United
States..
"Resolved, That the friendly offices
of the United States should be offered by
the president to the Spanish govern
ment for the recognition of the inde
pendence of Cuba."
If there is any one thing that needs
to be purified, it is politics, so the re
former says, and m&nv agree thereto.
But blood tells, and as a blood purifier
and liver corrector Simmons Liver Reg
ulator .is the best medicine. "I use it in
preference to anv other." So wrote Mr.
S. H. Hysell, of Middleport, Ohio. And
