CUBA IN THE SENATE!
Morgan and Hale Have a
Passage at Arms.
BOTH SENATORS WERE EXCITED

Washington, April G. The resolution
of Senator Morgan, of Alabama, declar
ing that a state of war exists in Cuba,
was taken up by the senate today, and
Morgan addressed the senate in favor of
the resolution.
An exciting debate between Morgan
and Halo occurred during Morgan's
speech. Halo denied Morgan's state
ment that the Spanish prisons were
shifted with Americans. Morgan asked
Hale where his information come from,
and then assorted that ho (Morgan;
knew who the informant was. The
country knew who it was. The senator
'rom Maine (Hale) could not conceal
lie fact, asserted Morgan, that he was
in communication with the Spanish
government.
Hale made an indignant denial, stat
ing that none of his intormation came
from Spanish sources, and it waB entirely
from Americans.
The Morgan Cuban resolution went to
'he senate calendar, thus losing the
privileged place. Morgan gave notice
that ho would make a motion tomorrow
to take it up with a view to securing
final action.
The bankruptcy bill was then taken
"P nt 2:15 p. in., and Stewart of Nevada
took the floor to speak on it.

called nt the White Hoiiho today with
IiopretoiitmlvH MoMIIHu, of Tennessee,
and Attoniey-Guneral Smythe, of Ne

McKinloy. The hitter said that he had
received a copy of Bryan's book n few
UaJ'8 ago, but hud not had the time to
read it. After exchanging courtesies
and pleasentries, Bryau retired.
Bryan expressed a desire to be shown
through the Whitehouse, and Doorkeep
er Dubois conducted him through the
various parlors and conservatories. In
the main corridor, just as he was emerg
ing, he met Mrs. McKinley, who was go
ing out for a drive , and saluted her cor
dially. Bryan was besieged with newspaper
men, who asked for his views on the
Ohio and Michigan elections yesterday.
"They indicate that confidence .lias
been restored," he said, laughing, "and
need no explanation form me; they speak
for themselves"
ESC.Yl'K OF A NAVAL, KNS1GN.
A lerrlblo Struggle Against Death Jy
Asphyxiation.
New Yoke, April 6. For seven hours
Ensign G. L. P. Stone, of the coast de
fense battle-Bhip Puritan, fought for air
and lite in a water tight compartment of
that vessel last Saturday.
The story of his narrow escapo from
death by aphyxiation in the foul atmos
phere was told today for the first time.
Ensign Stone is a member of a promi
nent Georgia family of that name, and
the writer for Captain John R. Bartlett,
who is in command of the battle-ship.
The ensign was placed in charge of a
squad of five men detailed to descend in
to the double bottom of the Puritan and
inspect and clean it. When the men
came out they closed all the hatchee,
not knowing that Stone had been left
behind in one of the compartments.
Seven hours later a seamen heard a
faint tapping on one of the hatches. He
listened and it was repeated more faintly.
He reported it, and then it was recog
nized that it might have come from
Scone, who bad been missing some time.
The screws were removed and the hatch
lifted. At the very mouth of the open
ing they saw the white, upturned face of
the ensign. He had pressed his lips
close to the, metal cover of his prison in
his efforts t'o obtain fresh air. He was
half-conscious, but Btill had sufficient
presenco of miud to cling to the ladder.
In one hand tightly gripped was a shoo
which he had removed, and it was with
this he had rapped for hours on the
ceillug of his cell.
