NO. 4G
PASSED BY THE HOUSE
Cuban Resolutions Adopted
by a large Majority.
PRESENTED BY CHAIRMAN HITT
Stronc Feeling In Their Fifor Through
out the Debate "Why a Sub
stitute Was Offered.
Washington, March 2. The resolu
tions of the foreign affairs committee of
the house were adopted' today by a vote
of 265 to 18.
THE debate;.
Resolutions Were ' Called
Up
Chairman Bitt.
Washington, March 2. Representa
tive Hitt called up In the house the Cu
ban concurrent resolution. The motion
to proceed to the consideration at once
of the resolution carried 175 to 19.
Hitt in calling up the Cuban "resolu
tions did not offer the last resolution
pledging the support of congress to the
executive In any action the president
might take.
Several members were calling for re
cognition. Boutelle renewed his objection of Fri
day. He was saying he regretted very
much to be obliged to differ with his
friend, the chairman of the foreign af
fairs committee,' but on a matter of such
gravity he must insist upon deliberation
when there were loud cries of "Regular
Order."
The temper of the house was indicated
its manner toward Boutelle.
The motion carried 175 to 19.
Bailey asked unanimous consent that
the debate be extended to 5 o'clock.
"No, No," came in chorus.
At Ilitt's request, hovever, 35 minutes
were allowed on it.
v The speaker rapped the house to order,
and Hitt opened the debate in a 10 min
ute speech. The resolutions had been
considered with great care by the com
mittee, he said, and was matured and
ripened after weeks of deliberation.
They presented what the committee
thought the best possible action. As to
the senate resolutions, for which these
were offered as a substitute, the first was
practically identical with the first of the
resolutions. The second senate resolu
tion directing the minister to use his
good offices with Spain for the recogni
tion of Cuba's independence was unwise
in his opinion. How long would Great
Britain or any other country, tie asked,
tolerate a request that she recognize
the independence of one of her. colonies.
It would be accepted as an insolent in
terference. As to the fact that a state
of war existed in Cuba, there was no
question. Our consular reports proved
that. The Cubans were desperate, un
conquerable. There was no time in the
10 years' war when they were in such a
strong position. f-.pain had but a third,
possibly a fourth of the island. If we
were neutrals, as between belligerents,
Cubans could purchase in our markets
as well as Spain. At present we were
bound to exercise diligence to prevent a
Cuban expedition leaving our ports. He
argued that Spain could take no offense.
Spain recognized the Confederacy before
the battle of Bull Run. Belligerency;
he said, would give Spain the right to
search American vessels. They could
carry men, but not munitions ol war.
McCarty expressed the opinion that
we 8houlddo all in oar power to give in
dependence to Cuba against the cruel
despotism. "
Adams said the time had unquestion
ably come for action. The most illus
trious Spanish general had failed to put
down the revolutionists, and General
Weyler, a butcher, had been sent to an
nihilate them. The patriots of Cuba
had called on the mother of republics,
and we should not hesitate.
Sulzer said the Cubans had a govern
Highest of all in Leavening Power.
U
ment. .They maintained 40GO troops in
the field and had won decisive battles
We did not know what was going on, be
cause Spain had established a censorship
of the press and cable that was an insult
to the civilized world.
Americans In Spain.
Washington, March 2. The Spanish
American situation, growing out of the
reports of riots at Barcelona and other
cities in Spain, was regarded so serious
ly by the president that a special meet
ing of the cabinet was held last night,
though the call was issued under the
guise of a dinner at Secretary Olney's.
Secretary Olney read a letter from Min
ister De Loine, inclosing a cable mes
sage received from his government,
directing the Spanish minister to inform
the United States government that
Spain was exerting all her power to am
ply protect the United States legation
and consuls, and he could give an as
surance that they would ' be protected
from any harm. Also Americans visit
ing and residing in Spain' would be safe
from the attacks of mobs and other riot
ous assemblages.
Another communication created pro
found surprise. - It was a message from
the Spanish minister of foreign affairs at
Madrid, insisting that the United States
government disavow the action of. the
senate as a condition to continued friend
ly relations between the two govern'
ments. The president and cabinet min'
isters present were inclined to excuse
the message, to some extent, upon the
basis of ignorance of the United States
and their form of government.
The only result of the conference was
a practical agreement that the secretary
of state should promptly respond in
kindly terms to the communication of
Minister De Lome, and thank his gov
ernment for its readiness to protect
Americans and American interests in
Spain. The demand for a disclaimer of
the senate's resolutions will be ignored
The secretary of the navy, purely as a
measure of precaution, will bring aft ef
ficient fleet of war vessels near enough
together to mass them promptly at any
point that may be threatened.
A cablegram from Minister Taylor
reached Secretary Olney early yesterday
evening as follows :
"The minister of state has just called
to express his deep regret that the mob
insulted the Barcelona consulate by
ureaKing tne windows, and ottered a
complete reparation. He informed me
the government, on .its own motion, had
taken every precation to guard the lega
tion and my residence. I have asked
for no protection."
It is, perhaps, in part, owing to theEe
official advices that the excitement in
Spain over the action of the United
States senate, leading up to the insult
to the United States consulate at Barce
lona, fails to find a corresponding reflex
in Washington, at leastin official circles.
Almost everywhere the feeling is that
the affair is not one which necessarly
must lead to hostilities. '

buds, young' wo
men just entering'
the doors of soci
ety or woman
hood, require the
wisest care. To

implies a clear

especially sensi
tive, and many
nervous troubles,
which continue
through life, have
their origin at this
itune. If there be
e. backache, and nervous dis
turbances, or the general health not good,
the judicious use of njedicine should be
employed. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion is the best restorative tonic and nerv
ine at this time. The best bodily condition
results from its use. It's a remedy spe
cially indicated for those delicate weak
nesses and derangements that afflict wo
menkind at one period or another. You'll
find that the woman who has faithfully
used the ' Prescription " is the picture of
health, she looks well and she feels well.
In catarrhal inflammation, in chronic dis
placements common to women, where there
are symptoms of backache, dizziness or
fainting, bearing down sensations, disor
dered stomach, moodiness, fatigue,' etc.,
the trouble is surely dispelled and the
sufferer brought back to health and good
spirits.
