He Severely Denounces the hiethods of Spain, Nails. an Admission by Dupuy do Lame and Becomes Sarcas- tic at- Mr. Hale's Expense. Washington, April Sit—The senate gal- Eeries were well filled ag. :in today in ex- pectation of a continua ion of the Cu— ban debate. l‘air. Chandler offered a res- olution, which was ag1eed to, as follows: “Resolved, That the committee on in- terstate commerce be directed to inves- tigate the payments made or agreed to be made by the interstate commerce commission for attorneys’ fees, and also to inquire whether in any case the at- torneys of the commission have also been employed by railroad companies in sim- ilar cases, and further whether any ad- ditional authority from congress is re- quired for the employment of counsel in any pending proceedings which have been instituted by or on motion of the commission.’ The resolution of Mr. Earle (Dem. S C. )for the reorganization of senate com- mittees went over, Mr. Chandler pre- senting an amendment to be urged when the resolution is taken up. The amendment provides that on Tuesday, April 20, at 2 p. m., the senate will pro- ceed to appoint its committees. The Morgan resolution declaring that a. state of war exists in Cuba was then taken up without objection, and Mr. Morgan resumed his speech in support of it. The senator reverted to the state- ment of Mr. Hale yesterday that the number of Americans in Spanish pris- ons was reduced to 12. In sarcastic tones Mr. Morgan said that such re— leases as had occurred were the result of supplication by our government, and perhaps it would be appropriate to , adopt a vote of thanks to Spain for not slaying these prisoners outright. Aside from the official testimony as to the con— dition in Cuba, the newspaper press had piled up a mass of testimony which es— tablished beyond question that the war ' was being prosecuted by Spain contrary to all the rules of civilized warfare. De Lome's Admission. Mr. M organ commented on a letter written by Dupuy de Lorne, the Span- ish minister, to Miss Clara Barton, rel— etive to Red Cross work in Cuba. 1n the course of the letter use is made of the expression, “during the present war.” This, declared Mr. Morgan, was an inadvertent admission by the Span- ish minister, despite all his diplomatic cunning, that war was going on. And yet congress and the president would not recognize that state of war which would assure to American prisoners the treatment of prisoners Of war and not of insurrectionists. Mr. Morgan commented upon the banishment from Cuba of the corre- spondents of American newspapers be- cause they had written statements of transactions on the island of Cuba, giv— ing dates and circumstances, and he as- serted that those statements were true. Even the Spanish press, he said, had not ventured to deny them. If the sufferings of the 74 Americans now incarcerated in Cuba could be, re- vealed to the senate they would per- haps arouse its indignation.- How could the United States government, he ask- ed, expect to enjoy the respect of its own citizens when it stood by and saw even one American citizen suffer at the hands of the Spanish or any other gov- ernment, contrary to treaty, contrary to international law, and contrary to the sacred rights of humanity? Mr. Morgan quoted from a communi- cation from the late secretary of state the admission that in some instances American citizens had fallen victims to military violence in Cuba, and he sa1d: “Consult the records of congress; con~ sult the archives of the state depart— ment and tell the people of the United States what has been done to exact reparation for or to prevent the recur- rence of these terrible acts.” Mr. Morgan instanced the case of the Arkansas boy who fell in to the hands of the Spanish authorities in Cuba two years ago and had been tried and sen- tenced to death. Judgngnt had been set aside by the supreme court in Mad- rid, the trial having been held in viola— tion of the treaties and of international law, and yet, he said, that bOy had not been discharged from custody, but had been kept in a loathsome dungeon with other American victims of Spanish cru- elty.
