eons OVER 0N OBJ‘EGTION
Aiiiother Attempt by the Nebraska Popu-
list to Add a Belligerency Declaration
to the Diplomatic Bill-"Morgan Says
Cuba Is Lost to Spain. .
Washington, Feb. 24.——The Cuban
question was against precipitated in
the Senate yesterday by Mr. Allen
(Neb.), who offered the following res-
olution:
“Whereas, It is the established doc—
trine of the United States that the
Western Hemisphere shall be dedicated
to republican forms of government rec-
ognizing the political equality of hu-
men beings; and
“Whereas, The principle of the Mon.
roe doctrine, or the doctrine of nation-
al self-preservation, is as applicable in
wresting any portion of this continent :
fromgthe grasp of foreign countries as -
in preventing them from obtaining ad-
.ditional territory, and
“Whereas, The island of Cuba, by
reasonof its location and close pr'ox— :.
imity to the United States, should, by
right, be dedicated to a repubhcan
form of government; and
“Whereas, A republican form of gov- .
ernment is, and has been for nearly
three years, maintained in said island
by force of arms; and
.“Whereas, It is alleged that 500,000
persons on said island have died of}
starvation by reason of being concen-
trated by the Spanish Government at
» various points, without being fed or af—
forded an opportunity to provide food
for themselves, and hundreds are daily a
dying; and
“Whereas, The dictates of humanity
require the intervention of the United
States in such case; therefore,
“Resolved, That a select committee
of five Senators shall be appointed,
'Whose duty it shall be to forthwith
make a thorough investigation and in-
‘quire into and report on the following
subjects:
“First, to what extent the work of
concentrating the inhabitants of Cuba
hasbeen carried on by the Spanish,
Government, and how many persons'
onsaid island have in the last three
years died as a result of starvation, or
forlac'k of sufficient food, and diseases
incident theretto, and to what extent
concentration is now being practiced
there by Spanish authority, and the
conditiOn of the people concentrated.
“Second, whether the concentrated
Cubans have been adequately shelter—
ed, clothed and fed by the Spanish
Government, or by others, or have been
permitted to obtain food and clothing .
for themselves.
“Third, what lawful steps, if any, are
nedessary and can he ' taken by the
United States to bring the war in Cuba
to speedy termination, on groundshon—
orable alike to Spain and Cuba, and
which will result in the kingdom of
Spain relinquishing its hold 'on the isl- .
and, and in the establishment of. a re-
publican. form of government there.
“Fourth, to what event Spanish bar-
vbarity and cruelty have during the war
now in progress on the island of Cuba
been practiced toward the inhabtants
of 'Cuba, and what can be lawfully'
done by the United States if anything,
to ameliorate the condition of the Cu-
bans
“And to these endsand for these pur-
poses, said committee may sit at such
times and places as they may see
proper during the sessions of Congress,
and in vacation, and shall have the
right to visit and take testimony in
Cuba, if deemed proper to do so. All
testimony taken shall be preserved,
and the finding of said select commit-
tee, together with all testimony, shall
be reduced to writing and reported to
the Senate at as early a date as prac—
ticable.”
The resolution went over on objec-
tion.
Later, when the Diplomatic and Con-
sular bill was taken up, /Mr. Allen
(Neb.) indiCated his desire to offer an
amendment, but first suggested the
lack of a quorum. The roll call devel-
oped the presence of fifty-five Senators,
more than a quorum. _Mr. Allen’s
amendment was the resolution recog-
nizing the belligerency of the Cuban
insurgents, which was unfavorably re-
ported a few days ago by the Commit-
tee on Foreign Relations.
Mr. Morgan, in opposing the Allen
amendment, said he had no right to
make a declaration of this sort in this
way. If this resolution was made a
part of the bill Spain would have a
right to consider it as a. declaration of
war. He contended that conditions now
were much differentthan when the
Senate passed the resolutions last May.
The temper of the people of both na-
tions then was much different than
now.
Referring to the Maine disaster and,
the investigation now going on, he said
it would not be right to force the ques—
tion. If the Senator. from Nebraska.
wanted to vote for a declaration of war
let him bring it in and state the
grounds. He (Morgon) would vote for
such a resolution. -
Mr. Morgan said he would not vote
for a declaration of war against Spain
in disguise. He wanted the challenge
made and picked up in an honorable
'r'ay. Mr. Morgan said he always be-
lieved that the United States and Spain
will fight over Cuba. The contest now
showed that Cuba was lost to Spain,
as she could not conquer the people of
the island.
Mr. Lodge. of Massachusetts, also a
mother of the Committee on Foreign
Rclr‘l 'cns. opposed the amendment. The
Sennte. he said, ought not to consider
for she moment placing such an

such pieces of iron as they could carry.

the verdict, and its unanimity was due
to threats. It stayed in the jury room
for a few minutes, and the sentence is

of the Aurore. In addition, each is fined

which revealed the face of every per-

fied, hung high behind the bench. M.

M. Zola. emergedfrom the court at

THREE SAVED FROM THE ASIA.
”.3111 the Rest of Those on Board the
\Vrecked Ship Lost.
, Provincetown, Mass, Feb. 24,—The
tug Mercury, Captain Evan, has arriv-
ed here, bringing news that three men
of the crew of the British ship Asia
were rescued alive by the crew of
Handkerchief lightship. '
The men were taken from a piece of
wreckage, on which they had been
, floating for twenty-four hours, and
{were greatly exhausted. As soon as
5 they could talk it was learned that the
i Asia had struck on Great Round Shoal,
l off Nantucket, during the gale Monday,
and had gone to pieces.
Captain Daki‘n, of the Asia, with his
:wife and daughter, Were among those
ion board at the time, and all are sup-
‘posed to have perished. It is reported
lthat the body of the captain’s daugh—
ter is at V’Vood’s Holl, having been re-
covered, with that of a. man supposed
to have been the mate of the vessel,
yesterday.
“VVhiic coming over Nantucket Shoals
Tuesday we saw large quantities ,ot‘
wreckage, consisting of part of a ves-
stuff; also large quantities of jute and
. hemp. . .-.
“Later we neared Handkerchief
Light; the crew signalled us and we
lay down to the ship. Her) crew pu‘t off
in a dory and reported that they had
ithe three men aboard the vessel. The
3 men vVere barely alive when .picked ,up.
lT-hey were given all possible attention
lon board the lightship and at length
' were reviveed.”
On resuming his course, Captain
Evans kept a sharp lookout for possible
any. The presence of fine vast quanti-
ties of wrer. .ng‘e seem-12d to prove that
the vessel Lad gone to pieces almost as
soon as she struck.
