to Conclusion Soon,
A SPEECH BY SENATOR CULLOM
Appral to American l'eoplo to Avenge
tlio Atruclnu Murder 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
G o'clock.
Washington, April JT. At the fug
geetion of Davis, the early morning busi
ness of the .senate was eet aside and the
foreign relations coaimittee'B Cuban res
olutions were laid before the senate.
Cullom of Illinois delivered a carefully
prepared fpeech, rovering the general
Cuban question, lie declared the hour
for action by this country had come.
Spain's black crimes, said he, called
aloud for vengeance, and that vengeance
will be taken by the American people in
the intereet of humanity. Callom re
viewed the circamBtances 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 he paid the highest tribute to the
president, he concluded by Baying that
if the people of this country do nothing
more than drive the Spanish barbarians
into the Caribbean sea, they shall earn
the praise of every lover of freedom and
humanity the world over.
Berry of Arkansas followed Cullom.
He spoke of the nearness of war, end
eaid that to bring victory to the Ameri
can arms it was ubsolutely necessary to
give the president the aid and comfort
needed in this hour of his greatest trial.
Then, v.ltti impassioned outbursts, he
pledged the SouIL'b loyalty to the flag.
Daniels was next recognized. His
fame as an orator ie known, and there
was a cianing of nfeks to listeu to the
distinguished Virginian.
"We stand upon the edge of war," he
began. This nation is one with sword
in hand, and if the word that now hesi
tates upon the Hps be epoken and the
command "forward" given, upon some
proud day the Stars and Stripes will be
waving over Morro ensile and Cabanas
prison."
Daniels said ho had been for pence,
bat that time appeared to have gone by,
and he wanted to do everything possible
to support the president iu the needs of
the hour.

Ntw Yokk, April 15. A World spe
cial from Washington says:
The president's present intention is to
8ive his net of war in taking possession
of Cuba a humanitarian aspect. He pro
poses to tend merchant vessels loaded
with medicine, food and clothing for the
starving Cubans to Havana and Matan-

zas. ThcBe vessels will be accompanied
by a fleet of 20 warships nd bv trans
ports cairying regular United States
troops. They will land peaceably and
take possession of the fortified towns,
unless Spain forces battle on them.
If Spain fires the first shot the battle
ships Indiana and Iowa and the moni
tors Puritan, Terror and Amphitnte will
instantly begin the bombardment of Ha
vana with their 12 and 13-inch cutis.
How long the two-century-old fortifica
tions of Havana with their 17th-century
muzzle-loading cannon, will stand
against the GS-ion guns of Captain
Sampson's fleet, is an interesting ques
tion, The bombardment is not like,)' to last
longer than the bombardment of Alex
andria by the British fleet in 18S3
about four hours. Then all that will re
main will tie to use torpedoes to clear
Havana harbor of the eubmariue mines,
and the United States will be in posses
sion of the capital of Cuba.
The president has decided to give Con-sul-General
Lee the command of the
Virginia volunteers in the event that
hostilities break out between this coun
try ami Spain. This decision was
reached after a conference with Secretary
Alger. The matter was first broached
by a friend of the president, who sug
gested that it would be a good plan to
give Lee a command of some sort iu
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.
Tho president, who is B6taunch admirer
of Generiil Lee, was nonplussed. Fi
nally the announcement was made from
the war department that in the event of
volunteers being called for, the president
would appoint all officers of the rank of
colonel and above, and officers under
that rank would be appointed from the
various states from which the volunteers
were received.
When the call for volunteers is issued,
Virginia, General Lee's state, will fur
nish her quota, and the president will
designate General Lee as commander of
tho forces from the Old Dominion. Ow
ing to General Lee's great knowledge of
the topographical condition of Cuba, it
U more than likely that his command
will be given orders to at once proceed
to Cuba.
General Leo has announced his will
ingness to return to Havana at tho head
of an invading army, and doubtless he
will be allowed to go upon the opening
of hostilities. A member of the senate
proposes to introduce a special icsolu
lion, whereunder the president may ap
point General Lee a major-general of
volunteers.

Philadelphia, April 15. Ex-Post-
master-General John Wanamaker has
1 sent this telegram to Washington :
"To the Honorable, the Secretary of
War : Though opposed to war unless
honorably unavoidable, in the event of
, its coming I will, under your instruc-
tit ns, raise a regiment of Pennsylvauians
! for military duty and go with them for
service. Jons Wanamakek."
i After sending his offer to the secretary
lef war, Mr. Wanamaker posted in h'.s
store two notices, one for the manager's
office and the other for the timekeeper's
desk, as follows:
I "In order that our men may have easy
1 minds in considering and arranging
their affairs in the event of being called
upon for military services, this notice is
posted to say :
First That nil tho positions thus va
cated will be re-opehed to return when
the military service is over.
"Second That all salaries will con
tinue iu full in euch absence for actual
service, and to be paid to the authorized
representative of their respective fami
lies. "Third An insurance to the amount
of $1000 will be paid by the firm in case
of each death while any of our people
are actually engaged in military ser
vice." Mr. Wanamaker, in a speech at Ash
born last night, said:
"We know not to what we shall awake
with the morning light. Thick shadows
of impending strife of arras have settled
down upon the sand, notwithstanding
the hope against hope that lawful costs
of war in blood and treasure might be
eaved with justice to both countries and
with dignity and honor. The roll of
drums and the signal of the flying squad
ron ie calling us to war. Each of us
must consider his relations to the nation
