I UUBA IN THE SENATE AGAIN
Mr. Morgan Makes 1). Speech In Favor of
Immediate and Vigorous Action on
0111 Par t—I-EI 5 Rest lotion Final-
ly Sent to the Calendar.
Washington, April 7.——The president
today sent to the senate the following
nominations:
Treasury—Alonso J. Tyler of Ten-
riessee to be collector of internal reve-
due for the Second district of Ten-
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Agnew of Virginia. to be
internal revenue for the
Sixth district of Virginia.
Navy. —Theod0re Roosevelt of New
York to be assistant secretary of the
nessee; 'Park
collector of
navy; Captain A. S. Crowninshield,
United States navy, to be chief of the
bureau of navigation in the department
of the navy; Rev. W. M. Cassard of
Maryland to be chaplain in the navy.
“’ork of the Senate.
Washington, April 7 .—Minister Hatch
of Hawaii and Mr. Thurston, the spe-
cial representative from, that country,
. were visitors in the diplomatic gallery
of the senate‘today. One of the bills
introduced was one by Mr. Davis (Rep.,
Minn..), chairman of the committee on
foreign relations, for cable communica-
tion with Hawaii, Japan and China.
Among the petitions presented was
one by Mr. Nelson (Rep., Minn.) em—
bracing 2,000 telegrams from arch-
bishops,‘bishops, mayors, commercial
bodies, etc., collected by a New York
paper and favorable to the arbitration
treaty.
The Cuban question again came up
on Mr. Morgan’s resolution: “Resolved
by the senate and house of represent-
atives, That a condition of public war
exists between the government of Spain
and the government proclaimed and for
some time maintained by force of arms
by the people of Cuba, and that the
United States of America shall main-
tain a strict neutrality between the
contending powers, according to each
allvthe rights of belligerents in the ports
,‘jd territory of the United States. ”
{Mix Morgan was recognized in sup—
pert: of the resolution, speaking in his
usual calm and dispassionate style. He
spoke of the long and weary contest
which the Spanish authorities had been
unable to check. It was right, he said,
that congress should initiate‘such ac-
tion as the United States was to take.
The president might not feel personally
disposed to concur in the view of con-
gress, and yet he might feel bound by
it, Mr. Morgan said a movement which
in any way embraced the contingency
of war was of such a solemn nature
that it should be free from excitement.
It was in this view that he approached
the subject now.
Our Government Censured.
He did not wish to occasion a fer—
.ment in the United States, even though
the hearts of the American people are
full-of this subject. If the United States
government had taken proper care of
its citizens in Cuba, great loss of life
and property would have been avoided.
But- our government had not taken care
offits people and it was time that it did
so. This resolution was designed to
place the United States in a position to
prdtect its citizens.
“But, ” he added, “I am almost hope-
less, after the policy of the past
months, that any administration will
get its courage up to the point of
sending our ships to Havana and de-
manding justice and liberty for our
people. ”
Mr. Morgan referred to the death of
Dr. Ruiz and commented on the re-
ported purpose of the administration to
send a lawyer to Havana to investi-
gate.
“Instead of hunting out alawyer to
go down to Havana,” declared the’ sen-
ator, “our authorities might well send
a ship—of-war to Havana with a com-
missioner on board and say to Spain:
'If that man has been murdered, you
must punish the guilty ones, and on the
spot make immediate indemnity.”
Here Mr. Hale (Rep., Me.) came in
with a series of questions and there
was a rapid exchange with Mr. Mor-
gan.
”Do I understand,” queried Mr. Hale,
"that the senator objects to sending to
Cuba an agent—be he lawyer Or not—
to establish the facts?”
Mr. llIorgan’s Idea.
“As an American,” responded Mr.
Morgan, “I would expect to see‘a law-
yer go there, but if I were a British sub—
ject I would expect to see a ship-of-war
as well as a lawyer go there.”
“Then the senator would send a ship-
of-war befo‘rethelawyer to establish the
facts?” pursued Mr. Hale.
“I would send both the ship-of-war
and the lawyer,” answered Mr. Morgan,
and then he added amid laughter, “but
I would not have much use for the law-
yer.” He went on to say that he re-
gretted that the rights and liberties of
our Ameiican people \\ ere being held so
lightlyas to be converted into mere law-
suits.
“What we need,” exclaimed Mr. Mor-
gan, “is action, resolution, determina-
tion, purpose, conclusion, that shall pro-
tect the people against these outrages.
And one exhibition of that determina-
tion in the island of Cuba would do
more good than all the lawsuits ever
Ibrought.”
The senator spoke of the “colossal
misrepresentation’ that an insurrec-
1tion, but not a. war, existed in Cuba.

trappings were necessary for the deadly
realities'of war.
would not be retarded by the statement
of the senator from Maine (Hale) that
the Cubans are not conducting a. “fash—
lonable fight.”
An exciting debate between Mr. Mor-
gan and Mr. I-lalc. occurred during Mr.
Morgan’s Cuban speech. Mr. Hale de—
nied Mr. Morgan's statement than
Spanish prisons were stuffed
Americans. Mr. Morgan asked Mr.
Hale where his information came from
and then asserted that he _(Morgan)
knew who this informant was. The
‘country knew who it was. The sena-
to’r from Maine (Hale) could not con-
’ceal the fact, asserted Mr. Mor‘an, that
he was in communication with the
Spanish government. 'Mr. Hale made
an indignant denial, stating that no one
Item of his information came from
Spanish sources, and that it was en—
tirely from Americans.
The 1esolution finally went to the
senate calendar, thus losing its privi-
leged place. Mr. Morgan gave notice
that he would make a motion tomorrow
to take it up with a view to securing
final action.
The bankruptcy bill was taken up at
2:15 p. m., and Mr. Stewart of Nevada
took the floor to speak on it.
The 1‘ eti oactive Tarifl‘.
Washington, -‘iprilt 7.—Secretary Gage
today issued a circular instructing of-
ficers of customs to, delay, until further

not be closed and stamped, but shall be
held open during the pendency of this
order so as to be amended or corrected
if neces: .ary. This action was taken
because of the retroactive clause of
the pending tariff bill.

Important Letters From Sir John \Vil-
loughby Produced.
London, April 7.—At today’s sitting
of the parliamentary South African
committee an officer from the war of-
fice produced a number of letters writ-
ten by‘Major Sir.J0hn Willoughby, the
contents of which that witness refused
to disclose. upon the demand of Mr. La-

movement in pursuance of Orders from
the administrator of Matabeleland 1n
the honest belief that the raid was 1111-.
dertaken with the knowledge and as—
sent of the imperial authorities.
Sir William Harcourt asked the wit-
ness a number of questions designed to
draw out a statement of his reasons
for believing that the raid had the
sanction of imperial authorities. The
witness replied that his belief was bas-
ed upon private conversations which
he had had with Dr. Jameson. The
witness was pressed for a more de-
tailed answer, but after fencing with
his questioner for awhile he finally r-z—
fused to give further information on
the subject.
