Says the Attitude of the Administration Is Cowardly and Un-American. Denver, May 20. Senator Teller ex ploded doubt today as to whether the Morgtia Cuban resolution will pass the house "The lnliuenees that d miinate Speaker Reed," said Teller, "are hostile to the Cubans and favor Spanish rule. It is evident th; adniniistrruton Is f.d l..v in--r in ih- f.-t--te!s .f Cleveland, and I presume administration Intlu'-nce will be exerted on the house to prevent it adopt ilig the Morgan resolution. I think the attitude of the administration i im-Amprican and cowardir. It Is afraid to send the supplies that we sup pose are to be sent to the starving Anwrrlcans In Cuba, In a war ship, for fear of ofi willing Spain. We mould have had a war ship In Havana harb r during the last two years." MOKIiOW CONFIRMED. Washington. May 20. The senate to day confirmed the nomination of Wm. H.
