' Till 'l‘illmaa Hall» a Sensation.
'Wmo'i'ox. Jan. lid—The presenta-
thn of committee reports on Cuba and a
. . highly dramatic and sensational speech on
the like! bond bill from Mr. Tillman. the
an mm from South Carolina. furnish-
‘ldAwo stirring events in the senate. The
majority resolution on Cuba asks the pres‘
.‘ mm to urge Spain to grant belligerent
‘ light to the insurgents. while the minori-
ty report directs the president to take steps
,hnrnfli securing from Spain the complete
independence of Cuba. Both resolutions
. Event to the senate calendar.
finch a torrent of inventive has seldom
been heard in the senate Ml that in the
mix of Mr. Tillman. Veteran members
0! the body characterized the speech as
one of the most remarkable in the history
of the upper branph of congress. it abound-
ed in statements of sensational character.
arraignlng President Clem-land, Secretary
Carlialo and other men in high places.
There was a directness of statement and a
dramatic manner of delivery which awed
floor and galleries. The gestures of the
senator were used frequently in acting his
words. At one point he made a profound
mute and “tipped his hat to Sherman”
u the financial victor of a quarter of a
century. The galleries Were moved alter—
nately to applause and laughter. Phasing
not a sip of water. llmid rounds of laugh-
ter..horemarked: “I seldom wet my whis-
tle while I speak, Still, you can't run a
windmill on water. " .,
The next moment there was a has
through the chamber as the senator ap-
plied such names as “Judas" to a mem-
ber of the cabinet or characterized the
president in bitter tenus. At times the
senator’s voice sank to a whisper, as. for
Instance, when he gave warllingof the ap-
proach of a popular revolution and come
mnnlsm and the marching on Washington
of a host with rifles ill their hands. Again
his voice resounded through the chamber
had the enter corridors as he called scna~
tors and members cowards for not resort—
ing to impeachment.
Jones' Demand For a Vote.
Mr. Jones (Helm) of Arkansas asked
unanimous consent to fix :3 o'clock today
as the time for voting on the silver bond
bill. Mr. Hill objected. Mr. Jones asked
Mr. Hill to suggest a time for a vote.
“Just as soon as senators have had an
opportunity to speak," replied Mr. Hill.
“Will the senator name a day for a
vote!” asked Mr. Jones.
”The 6th day of February," responded
Mr. Hill.
Mr. Jones declined to consldor this de-
lay and said he would make the test to:
day.
Mr. Gall (Deni.)of Florida thcll address-
ed the senate in support of the silver
amendment to the bond hill. Mr. Bart-
lett of New York introduced a joint reso~
Iution authorizing the construction of six
new battleships, to cost not more than
$3,300,000 each. exclusive of armament,
for which $5.lulo,ooo is appropriated.
Senator Baker introdlu-cd all amend-
ment to the silver bill now before the sen-
ate providing that any pcrsoll who takes
silver or gold to tho mint to be coined
shall take an equally valuablo. amount- of
the other metal and have both coined.
The amendment sets forth that. tho pun
'pose is to secure the parity of the two
metals.
The following are the resolutions ac.-
oompanying the majority report of the
committee on foreign relations. which was
presented by the chairman, Mr. Morgan
(Dem) of Alabama:
Resolved by the senate (the house of repre-
aentativvs concurring), That the prcscnt dc-
plorable war ill the island of Cuba has reached
nmngnitndc that concerns all civilized nations
to the extent that it should be conducted, if
nnhnppily it is longer to continue. on those
principles and laws of warfare that are ac-
knovl‘ledgcd to be obligatory upon civilized
nations when engaged ill opcn hostilities. in-
cluding the treatment of captives who are cn-
listed in either army. due respect to cartels
for exchange of prisoncrs and for other mili-
tary purposes. truccs and flags of truce. the
provision of proper hospitals and hospital sup-
plies and services to the sick and Wounded of
either army. and be it- further
Resolved, That this representation of the
viewsomd opinion of congress be sent to the
president. and it he concurs therein that he
will. in a friendly spirit. use the good offices
of this government to the end that Spain shall
be requested to accord to the. armies with
which it is engaged in war thc rights of bellig-
erents as the same are recognized under the
laws of nations. ' ‘
The minority report, presented by Mr.
Cameron (Rep) of Pennsylvania, was ac-
companied by a.- concurrent resolution re-
‘questing the president to use his good
offices with the government of Spain “for
the recognition of the independence of
Cuba." The reports accompanying the
resolutions —longthy arguments — were
read, and the resolutions were placed on
the calendar, to be taken up for debate
and action whenever the Committee on for-
eign relations may deem it advisable.
Senator Cameron's Position.
Referring to the insurrection in Cuba
soon after the close of our civil war, Sena-
tor,Cumeron says: ,
“It is said that early in the year 1869 a
proclamation was actually signed by Pros-
idcnt Grant recognizing the Cubans ‘as
belligerents, although the fact was known
to very few persons. 'Ihis proclamation
was not promulgated, owing to the opposi»
tion of Secretary Fish}: .
The senator also quilted at some length
from the message of President Grant. for
1869, in which theprcsident predicted that
in due time Spain must find it to her in-
terest to establish the independence of her
dependent. lie refers to the diplomatic
efforts made at that time by this govern.
ment to secure Cuban independence,
which was to be on the following basis:
. First—Independence“of. Cuba to be an-
knowledged, by Spain.
Second—Cuba to pay Spain for the re
linguishment of her rights.
Third—The abolition of slavery.
Our government was to guarantee-tin
payment of the indemnity. Mr. Cameron
attributes the fact that our government
failed at that time to recognize the bellig-
erency of the Cubans to the promises of
reform made in Spain ,and to the internal
strife iii Spain, which rendered our gov-
ernment loath to press an outside compli-
cation. He says also that Mr. Fish was
irritated by the operations of the Cuban
junta in this country. which at times in-
fringed our neutrality laws. We also at
that time had troubles of our ewn in the
south. The notion of our government was.
be min striking-foam to than):
_ ‘ l ' ‘
l
“m 3 ‘ >
Mr. Cameron also refers to other revel
tionu. during which our government was
on the point of intervening.
“The nicest sense of international ro-
qnimmenta. " he says, “cannot fail to M
oelvo that provocation from Spain was
overlooked by our government for a longer
period and with greater patience than any
other government of equal power would
have tolerated." ,
After quoting at length the report made
by General Campos in 1879 Mr. Cameron
says:
Dana's Cause Is Just.
“The highest Spanish authorities have
Men obliged to confess that the grievance
of the Cabana are just and their aspirin
tions for liberty legitimate. ” He says the
Spanish government in Cuba is an armed
monarchy. "The danger and the scandal
of the Cuban situation," he says. “have
been such as can be compared with noth-
ing but the condition of Armenia. “
lie asserts that a state of war exists,
and that with that alone We buy“ to deal.
“The precedents for recognition are." he
says. "clear. and if our action were to be
decided by precedent alone we should not.
be able to hesitate." lie assons that the
insurgents have made a record which on-
titles them to recognition. and adds: '
”If the governlncntof the l'niled‘ States
still refrains from recognizing the bellig-
ereney of the. insurgents after this conclu-
sive proof of tile fact. the reason doubtless
is that in the absence of legal conlpliclr
tions the question becomes wholly polul-
cal. and that its true solution must He
not in- a recognition of belligerency. but
in a recognition of independence."
He says, in conclusion, that ho is confi~
dent that no other action accords with our
friendly relations with Spain, our just
sympathy with Cuba and with our dignity
and consistency.
