lull DAY IN CONGRESS.
Senator Cullom Makes the First 'Set
Speech of the Session.

SPAIN ROUNDLY CENSURED.

I'l‘lic Epithet "A. Robber Nation” Applied
to Her—Prompt Action Demanded
From the United States and Other
American Republics.

522:” --- -

WASHINGTON, Doc. 11.—On the opening
of the senate today a. motion by Mr. Ald-
rich (Rep, R. I.) was adopted that when
the senate adjourned today it be until
Monday next.

The vice president announced the names
of J. O. Bancroft Davis and Ainsworth
Spofi'ord as members of the Memorial As-
soc ion of the District of Columbia.

‘he popular interest on various sub-
jects of legislation was shown by the arm-
ful of petitions received by the petition
clerk. The main subjects of petition were
for the passage of the Dingley bill, the in~
dependence of Cuba and the restriction of
i igratlon.

- he coming inauguration of Mr. Mc-
Kinley was foreshadowed in a resolution
offered by Mr. Sherman (Rep, 0.), and

eed to, providing for a committee of

co synators, to be named by the presid<
i g officer, to make necessary arrange-
ments for the inauguration of the presi-
dent elect. -

Mr. Cullom (Rep, Ills.) was then recog-
nizcd.

 

Senator Cuiiem‘s Speech.

Senator Cullom of Illinois, then ad-
dressed the senate, and being the first ex-
tended discussion of the question since
c‘tingress reconvened it was listened to with

'marked interest and attention. After a
gief referen e_to the president’s message
' n hing uba Mr. Cullom said:

“While I am not disposed to criticise
President Cleveland, I may properly say
that I had hoped he would find occasion to
give more positive or emphatic expression

 

summit CULLOM.

of the true American continental policy,
which ought to be invoked in all cases
where the liberty and independence of any
of the peoples of the American continent
are involved. And, further, I think we
ought never to hesitate or delay when the
lines of this policy run parallel and coinci-
dent with those of common humanity.

“If this position shall strike the mind
as being too much in advance of the con-
servatism Which has heretofore obtained
in all the schools of diplomacy, I may say
that that advance is what the world is
waiting for. "

Mr.»Cullcm referred to certain phases of
Spanish history,‘ showing the record of
cruelty and oppression. Continuing, he
said: '

“This agency of murder and adminis-
trator of torture in the name of Christifin-
ity continued in vigorous existence in

' Spain from the reign of Ferdinand and

Isabella, about 1482, until even after the
beginning of the present century. During
the existence of the holy office, or inquisi-
tion, 81,912 persons were condemned and
perished in the flames, 17, 659 were burned
in effigy and nearly 300,000 were condemn-
ed to severe and terrible pennnces. The
last victim burned alive perished about
1760.

“The above is the mildest and simplest
statement of ahistcry of Spanish cruelty
to Spaniards from the day of the discovery
of America to the independence of the
United States. "

Spain's Decadence.

After further historical reference to
Spanish cruelty in America Mr. Cullom
said:

“ While all the provinces which have re-
belled and separated from Spain have. as
I have shown, become prosperous and
fairly well conditioned, independent coun-
tries, the feeble old mother country has
gradually fallen into a lower and lower
estate, depending and almost relying for
existence upon the stolen gold levied upon
Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippine is-
lands. Spain continues to be what she
always has been—a robber nation. I speak
now of the nation and not of her people.

“If we wait for precedent, we shall wait
forever. If a precedent is needed, we shall
make one. We violated every precedent
by the declaration of our own independ-
ence on July 4, 1776. We had no prece-
dent, non did we even ask for advice as to
the change in 1789 from a confederation to
a union of states. When we announced
the Monroe doctrine in 1823. it was in de-
fiance of precedent, and was the determi-
nation Of a rule which has become a law
and will never be gainsaid. When we an-
nounced not many months ago that we
should intervene in the matter of the Ven-
ezuela boundary and see for ourselves if
our rights were to be contested by foreign
dictation, we followed no precedent but
that of good American common sense.
And common sense has won.

For Another Step Forward.

“These instances only show that up to
this time no assumption of authority in
regard to American aflairs which this gov-
ernment has made has ever been success-

Aully contested. We now have reached the

time to take another step in advance. We
have already proclaimed that the United
States will have something tosay regard-
ing matters affecting the American con-
tinent, and should now announce that the
speedy terminalvion of Spanish control 01.
the islands at the gateway of the Mexican
gulf is necessary alike to the welfare of
these islands and to the people of the Unit-
ed States.

“ The present situation cannot continue.
A population of 950,000 white Cubans and
500,000 colored Cubans, aggregating
1,450,000 persons, will never yield and.
ought never to submit to the bloody mili-
tary rule of 160,000 Spaniards. The Span.
ish element which has always controlled
and dominated Cuba since its discovery

9"

 

 

numbers only about one-tenth its popula-
tion. Columbus declared, ‘This is the most
beautiful land ever beheld by human eyes'
in October, .1492. Now, in 1896, it is giv-
en over to devastation and destruction.
Within its borders rages a war which on
both sides is declared to be a war either of
extermination on the one hand or liberty
and Spanish exclusion on the other. This
condition must cease. The Spanish, after
two years’ war, have failed to establish
peace, and the insurgents have failed to
reach their hoped for independence.

“ This war of extermination must stop.
This congress of the United States has al-
ready recognized by solemn resolution the
belligerent rights of Cuba, but so long as
it has not received the executive approval
it has no force. And if it had, it is con-
ceded that some other course must be tak-
en. The question to be determined is not
fully clear, except that the war must
cease.”

In the House. .

The house today resumed the considera-
8tion of bills under the call of committees.
Mr. Boatner (Dem.. La. ), from the Fifth
Louisiana district, fihose seat was declared
vacant at the last session, and who was
re-elected at a special election, was sworn
in immediately after the reading of the
journal.

Mr. Scranton (Rep, Pa. ), from the com-
mittee on territories, then called up the

,bill to amend the act forbidding alien

ownership of lands in the territories.
The bill was defeated.

To Protect Dramatic Authors.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—The bill for the
better protection of dramatic authors,
which has passed the senate and is now
on the house calendar with a favorable re-
port, has two chances of receiving the
early attention 9f that body. 'The house
is now proceeding upon the order of busi-
ess knqwn as the call of the committees,
which each committee in its order is
anal ed the morning hour for two con-
secu ive day’s, if it needs the time, and in
case the committee on patents is reached
before business becomes too brisk, the
dramatic authors bill will be the measure
called to the attention of the house. The
other measures which the committee par-
ticularly desire to get before congress must
first be considered in committee of the
whole. In case the patents committee is
not reached in this order of business, its
ch man will urge the committee on
ru es to assign it a day.
No opposstlon is anticipated to the
gramatic authors bill. The existing copy-
ght law has been found inadequate to
protect properly authors and producers of
American .lays and operas. Persons in
various par 5 of the count have, without
the shadow of right of an hority, irated
works which have been brought 0 t at a
very great expense to proprietors and man-
agers. The pirates usually con no their
operations to the smaller and more remote
towns, where they reproduce the new
plays without the slightest compensation
to their rightful owners.
Hard to Catch Them.

These offenders are almost invariably
men without attachable means, and they
defy all the ordinary processes by which
they might be mulcted in damages. The
representation of the printed productio’ns is

generally given for a night or two only’

at a given place, and the offenders fiit
from town to town and from state to state,
and bid defiance to the processes of the
courts seeking to restrain their unlawful
acts. Any court of competent jurisdiction
can issue an injunction, but serious em-
barrassments have arisen in the efforts to
enforce these judicial orders and to punish
offenders for disobedience of them.

An attachment for contempt of an in-
junction must be executed within the ju-
risdiction of the court which issued the in-
junction; but, on account of the migratory
habits of the play pirates, it is rarely pos-
sible to get hold of them in this way. That
fact and the customary impossibility of
satisfying a money judgment against
them leave dramatic guthcrs so little pro-
tected that many havejceased altogether to
copyright their productions. The bill un-
der consideration proposes to make the of-
fense of piracy a misdemeanor punishable
by imprisonment of not more than one
year, and so to modify the law in regard to
attachments for contempt that the pirates
can be apprehended anywhere and punish-
ed in spite of their migratory habits.

Want a National Dcpnrtmcnt of Commerce

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 11.—The board of di-
rectors of the chamber of commerce has
adopted a resolution petitioning congress
to create a department of commerce, with
the chief thereof as a member of the cabi-
net, such department to be charged with
the duty of collecting and disseminating
information upon matters bearing upon
the commercial interests of the country,
encouraging commercial enterprises, the
openingof avenues of intercourse with for.
sign nations with a view to acquiring
new markets for American manufactures
and products and the extension of our ex-
post trade generally. The secretary was
instruch to send a copy of the resolution
to each of the senators and representatives
from Wisconsin. '

THE REPORT OF GIRUJBDA.

It Does Not Boar Any of the Usual “0f.
ficial” Earmarks—Spain Derives Con-
solation From the Report, How-
ever, and Is Very .1010!!-

KEY WEST, Dec. 11.—Latest advices
frOm insurgent sources in Havana say:

Notwithstanding the noisy manner in
which the Spanish officials have 9 read
abroad the “news” of the death of aceo,
the rumor is regarded here with feelings
of exceeding doubts._Cubans and pacifioos
refuse absolutely to credit the report of
Major Cirujeda, and they have many ap-
parent reasons fcr regarding the rumors
as open to grave doubt.

Those persons who are brave enough to
express their real opinions say that the
story was told to counteract the effect of
Macao’s decided ain lifcrcsslng Weyler’s
trocha between 0 of the strongest of the
Spanish forts along that line without
the loss of a single man. Macao, they say,
is still encamped in Havana province, and
Spanish troops were hurried from this city
yesterday to the point where he is believed
to be. Maceo was at P 'nta rave on Sun-
day with a force of 3,0 0 me . Residents
of that part of the province of Havana say
that instead of a great victory the Spanish
troops under Clrujeda experienced a most
humiliating defeat. The patripts pursued
them be ond the borders of the toWn of
Punta ra’va, rind the major’s loss was
nearly cne~third of his whole command.

Those same Punta Brave residents 5
that the revolutionists were not cohiman -
.ed by Maceo. The leader, they say, was
Serafin Sanchez. This Sanchez is the
same who was reputed as killed almost a
month ago in a battle in Santa Clara.
These residents say that if Maceo was with
the troops the fact of his presence was kept

carefully concealed.

Cubans in Havana who sympathize with
the revolutionists refuse to credit the re-
ports of the Spanish officers. They believe
that he crossed the trocha into Havana
province, and that he is in command of
all the troops which wl engage in the
operations in this 3nd 0 e island.

A Significant Omission.

Strangely enough, the Havana newspa—
pers which are most ardent sup orters of
the Spanish do pot print the s cry with
5315’ marks of authenticity; Tilt; Esual “of-
ficial” mark is not stamped o_ t ematter,
and then is no .viifinc that the r‘epbrt
was euthanized E ey are 5153, who are
members ofKtlie ' ner lstaff.

There is no iné‘ormat on given Opt con-
cerhing the _bo y. All that is heard is
concerning the article‘s re'plited to have
been found upon the corpse sup'phsm to be
that of Maceo. Ma‘or Qirujeda himself
says that he was no confirmed in the be-
lief lihat Maceo had been. killed until after
the body had been left behind. ’He now
says that he made an efiort to bring the
bodies of Maceo and. young Gomez to Ha-
vana. They were tied by their feet to the
tails of horses. After being dragged for
some distance, he says, the horses becatne
exhausted by the load, and the bodies were
left behind.

Some of the Spanish subordinates who
had‘evidently not been properly coabhed in
their lines said that Macao, who had been
seriously wounded, was being carried cast
for safety. The escort was attacked, and
the wounded chief was killed. Insurgents
afterward rescued the body. While this
story seems more probable than the one
which was first given out, it is utterly at
variance with the report made by the high-
er officials.

It is because of these conflicting reports
or rumors that even in Havana Major
Cirujeda’s remarkable story is doubted by
many. Even the Spanish sympathizers- do
not insist that Maceo is dead. They say
that if the story is true it means muchto
Spain. Cubans who are with the revolu-
tionists have sneered at the whole report.

Joy In Madrid.

MADRID, Dec. 11.—The popular mani-

festation of joy over the reports of the
death of the rebel leader, Antonio Maceo,
was of the most enthusiastic character.
An excited crowd gathered in front of the
prefecture and the town hall, cheering
and shouting, and the mayor appeared
upon the balcony of thy hall and joined in
the “vivas” for Spain and the Spanish
army.

The governor of Madrid, who was
watching the demonstration, caused the
United States legation to be protected by
gendarmes. '*

The crowds, after shouting themselves
hoarse in front of the town hall, marched

'to the war office, where they sent a depu-

tation to 'wait upOn the minister of war
and congratulate him upon. the death of
Macao.

From the war office they went to the
Military club, whose building was illu-
minated. ~

After cheering infront of the Military
club the crowds retraced their steps and
endeavored to march to the United States
legation, but they were prevented by the
police from doing so. '

Having been turned back by the police,
the mob went to the office of The Impar-
cial and The Heraldo and wildly cheered
each newspaper.

They then went to the home of the cap-
tain general of Madrid, where the guard
presented amine to the mob.

The news of the death of Macao was re-
ceived in the provinces with every mani-
festation of delight, each town demonstrat-
ing its joy to the full extent of its lung
power.

Tremendous demonstrations were held

in Cadiz, Valencia. and " other cities, and -

prices on the bourses of Madrid and Barce-
lona went up a point on the strength of
the news.

The struggle of the populace to obtain
the special editions of the newspapers an-
nouncing the death of the rebel leader was
unparalleled. and every newspaper office
was beseiged until a late hour.

The cabinet council, which was to have
been held today, has been postponed on ac-
count of the illness of Premier Canovas
del Castillo.

. Barbnrous Spuin'ln the East.
TACOMA, Dec. 11.——Mail advices received

by way of Hongkong include very serious ’

charges against the Spanish officers who

are attempting to crush out the rebellion in ,

the Philippine islands. They are accused
of torturing their prisoners in the most
merciless manner. The property of wealthy
natives is confiscated. An attempt is be-
ing made by Spanish oflicors to raise $10,-
000,000 from the Ban‘co Espanol Filipino,
giving as a. guaratee the confiscated prop-
erty of the rebels. ~

- The steamship Manilla, which left the

fi " —.

 

islands on out. 20, carried 151 prominent
natives of the islands who had been ban-
ished. They would have been shot were
it not for the interference of the captain
general, who is credited with being the
only humane Spaniard in Manilla.

Eleven hundred more Spanish troops,
making 3,000 in all sent since the rebellion
brcke out, arrived in the latter part of
October.

The rebels are armed with mauscr rifles
and have plenty of funds. Their strength
in fighting men is estimated at from 20,-
000 to 30, 000. > Many engagements occurred
in October, but no decisive battle had
been fought up to Nov. 5. ‘ '

The correspondent of the Hongkong
Press writes that the rebels continue to
gain strength in the interior provinces.

The city.of :Manilla is not yet seriously
threatened, though the situation is admit-
tpd to be critical. wo companies of
Spafih soldiers recently met at Dulu, and
min ing each other for rebels bombard-
ed each other for an hour before discover-
ing the mistake. Thanks to faulty aim
little damage was done.
