The Cuban Debate Draws F: an Impnssioned Speee The somewhat monotonous course of the Cuban debate in the Senate yesterday af- ternoon urexpectedly interrupted by the delivery by Mr. Vest of an impromptu speech In behaif of the :nen who are try- ing to thrcw off the Spanish yoke. His ut- terances fairly electrified the Senate. The contention advanced by Senators White and Gray, that the United States could not now recogrize the Independence of the Cu- ban republic, brought Mr. Vest to his feet with one of the most remarkable speeches of the session in remonstrance. He spoke of Spain as a toothless old wolf, who had lost one by one ail her Itter, and was still clinging to this single remaining cub. He pictured her as the impotent glant f despair in the Pilgrim's Progress gazing on defeat, In impassione1 words he made an apostrophe te of rare beauty and fervor, adding ¥ ng emphasis that the Cuban patriots would never, never, never again become the unwilling Subjects of Spain. At the close of the speech Mr, Gray, who opposed Mr. Vest, said that if eloquence could achieve the freedom of Cuba, then the burnings words of the Mis- sourl Senator would set her free. oe ‘After apostrophizing the name of Wash. ingtor. as the friend of universal liberty and calling upon the Senate in his memory to act quickly and decisively, Mr. Vest said: “If we as the great republic of the world mean to stand by these people who are im|- tating us and endeavoring to make a gov- ernment for themselves like that of this country, we must help them in their hour of need, and if we do not go so far as to do it by arms, which ts not advocated t body In this chamber or out of it, we : least do it by stating to the worl t pelleve the attempt of the monarch: Spain to suppress this Insurrection, term it, this endeavor to form a republic upon the Island of Cuba, is absolutely hope- less and desperate, as I believe under God itis today. There will never come the hour when Spain can reassert her dominion over the Island of Cuba. It is impossible that she should do so, and 1 speak from the great teachings of history and experience. Marked With Blood. “The course of Spain upon this continent is marked with blood. There was a time when the Spanish dominion extended al- most from the southern limits of the United States to the farthest and southern- most point in South America. No American cen ever forget those burning pages of Prescott that describe the conauest of Mexico and the conquest of Peru, when the Spaniards, with the lust for gold and the lust for blood, marked their terrible path- way acress the countries lying south of us. Of all those vast dominions won by blood, won through torture and fire, there remains today to this toothless old wolf the single Island of Cuba. And Spain to- day, like Giant Despair in that wonderful picture of Bunyan, almost helpless, sits at the door of the dark cave of despotism and grins with impotent rage at the procession of splendid republics that march on In the Pregress toward civilization and liberty. That wolf can never retain that single cub. Never can Spain hold the Island of Cuba, within sight of the republic of the United States, but five hours away from us, after she has lost all the South American provinces, efter she has been unable to hold one foot of soil south of us In all the wide area of the southern half of this continent. An Apostrophe to Liberty. “We are told now that these are negroes, mulattoes, Indlans who are fighting for independence. So much the more cause why we should sympathize with them and say God keJp them in their dire extremity. Liberty lives with the poor and the op- pressed, not with the wealthy and the powerful. It throbs in the breast of the caged bird, and has gone with martyrs to the stake and kissed their burning lips as the spirit winged its filght to God. Lib- erty cannot be extinguished when a people are-unanimous in defense of the rights which God has given them. If these peo- ple, ignorant and poor, struggling against this despotism, have imitated us, why should we content ourselves with the poor expression of sympathy with thelr cause? “We are confronted now with one over- whelming, overruling, absolute and deter- minate question in this debate. Shall we, the great exemplar of republican institu- tions throughout the world, declare that in our opinion the people of Guba are able to maintain thelr independence and have achieved it? Are we to wait until that {sland is desolated by fire and sword? Are we, a Christian and God-fearing people, to stand silent and dumb while the Spanish fovernor, called a general, declares that e intends to pen up the people of Cuba gnd butcher them into subjection to the panish throne? Sir, if we do it, God will curse us. If we do this thing and stand here until a desert has been made of that splendid island, you may be certain that the time will come when there will be retri- bution Qpon us as a people, because we have not been true to the task assigned us by Providence, because we have not cherished the legacy of self-government as bequeathed to us by our fathers.” ——— 6 Enlisted Men Held Prisoners. Assistant Controller Bowler has decided that an enlisted man subsisted by the Uni- ted States is not entitled to commutation of rations while held a prisoner by the civil authorities. He also holds that the provision of the act of July 19, 1992, for the “subsistence of officers and men when unavoidably detained or absent from a ves- sel to which attached under orders” is not applicable to officers and men held in prison by the civil authorities for an offense to which they have plead guilty. In such cases, he says, their detention is not “un- avoidable” within the meaning of the stat- ute, 1420 F street. JOKED IN THE JUG A Prisoner Who Was Locked Up for Being Locked Out. YOUTHFUL POLICE COURT PROCESSION Trivial Offenses Occupy the Atten- tion of the Judge. BAD BOYS RECEIVE LESSONS —_---—_ “What are you in here for this morning?” inquired Policeman Flynn of one of the many boys who were behind the bars. “This is a funny world,” responded the Loy. “I’m locked in this morning because I was locked out last night.” “What do you mean?” the big policeman asked him. j ‘I mean,” responded the youth, “that I was locked out of home and had to stay in the street, and that’s why I got locked in the station house.” “Why bad you been locked out?” “Because there was nobody at home, 1 suppose. I went home after school, and fcund the door locked, and then I returned again at 8 o'clock, and couldn’t get in. The lest time I went home was about 10 o'clock, ard then I went away and a policeman caught me.” He said his name was John Jones, but his conduct in prison indicated that he had been there before, for he san and danced and appeared perfectly at home. The prisoners’ Ist showed an unusually large number of boys in the toils, but this is the natural result of the spring weather, when the boys are able to leave their homes and play in the street. With them it Is a case of idle hands, too, although many of them are arrested for the most trivial violatiors of law. ‘The arrest of one of these youths is just as much a record for some policemen, however, as that of a burglar is for others. “Twenty-one in the dock this morning,” Judge Kimball was told when the pro- cession entered. Besides the small boys in the procession there were several colored men and a number of tramps. Usual Cane and Usual Fine. William Flaherty had the honor of being the first prisoner called from the party, and he said “guilty.” Last night William wes drunk, and he staggered to the window of the 7th street transfer box and said: “Give me a trans- fer.” There was nothing to indicate that he had not been on a street car and, of course, he was accommodated. “I wasn’t on a car, been given the transfe: His conduct was such that Policeman ler arrested him. it a usual case’ he said, after he had Hi Judge Kimball asked."| the policeman answer- amuel Wade and Richard Mitchell, col- cred boys, about seventeen years old, and William Hawkins and John Hawkins, sev- eral years younger, were in court, charged with throwing stones. Little George Dooian, who attends the Branch school, appeared as a witness. His discolored eye told the story of what had happen: but just’ which boy threw the stone that did the damage he did not know. The Big Boys Were Fined. “The big bots threw stones at the litttle ones,” itness, “and then the little cnes threw back at them.” “Which one struck you?” “I don’t know.” “We have a great amount of trouble with boys throwing stones about the building.” said the janitor of the school, “and white boys are as bad as the colored ones. ‘Arrest every one you catch throwing stones," was the advice given by the court. ed the small boys on “The others are fined $5 each,” said the “and I'm only sorry I can't make it Robert Fields was the name given by va colored boy who is not more than twelve | years old. “I found him on Penn last night.” said Hack In nd he was acting very suspiciously.

Why did you come here?” “I was playing about the railroad and a man put me in a box car.” “Why didn't you get out?” : “T couldn't, because the door was locked.” He said he lived near Culpeper, and that Somerset was the nearest station to his home. The court suggested that the sanitary officer might give him transportation. He Liked Music. Warren Bird, a young colored man, was arrested for loitering about the street in front of the Academy of Music. “I hadn’t been there more than five min- utes when the officer arrested me,” was the statement of Bird. there to hear the music.” “I'll take your personal bonds this time,” said the court, “and in the future you keep away from there.” William Massey, a young colored man, neatly dressed, was in the procession on a charge of profanity, and he made a denial. “But he confessed to mé that he used profane language,” the policeman said. “The policeman is mistaken,” sald the de- fendant. “I did use the word ‘a—,’ but I didn’t think that was cursing.” « “Five dollars.” : ‘Tom Barnes was in the toils as a tramp, although he is not more than seventeen years old. “Yesterday he was on 9th street, beg- ging,” sald Special Officer Courtney. “He told some ladies and gentlemen that he came here from Boston and wanted money to keep Rim over Sunday.” “I only asked for a bite to eat,” sald the defendant, “and I didn’t say I’ was from Boston.

Dr. Quinn’s Lecture Attended by a Very Large Audience. ‘The most interesting lecture of the course now in progress at the Catholic University was that delivered last evening by Dr. Quinn on “Olympia and the Olympian Games.” The assembly hall was thronged to its utmost. Dr. Quinn took his audience on an imaginary journey across the At- lantic to Greece, thence to Olympia as a spectator of the games as witnessed in the centuries before Christ, and finally as a surveyor of the present country of Greece. At Olympia every building was thoroughly explained and located, and the various games spoken of. It was here that every four years Greeks from every part of that vast empire flecked to witness the games so dear to them. It was as if at present all Europe should come together for some common event, for the people of that pen- insula country were found in southern Ita- ly, Egypt, Asia Minor, Macedonia, and as far east as the Euphrates. Of the many buildings that rose so majestically in the Olympian valley were the Temple of Zeus, the ruler of gods and men; the treasure houses of the different states, the palestra and the buildings for throwing quoits and spears and similar sports. The racing was always a spirited contest. Horses of the finest breed were entered by many. It of- ten happened that in turning the chariots were broken, and horse and driver tram- pled upon or thrown into confusion. Each contestant was thinking only of winning the race. Here also literary productions of the finest masters and art in its various branches entered for prizes. Statues of heroes and gods of life-like representation stood before the judges. And what was this prize which was so eagerly sought by all Greece? A simple laurel wreath, for to the Greeks the honor of winning the prize was sufficient. It is true at the Delphian games tiiere were money prizes for a short time, but this was soon abolished. Dr. Quinn also spoke at length upon the theater in those ancient days. It was usually situated on the side of a hill, of a semi-circular shape, with many tiers of seats. In the center were some stage buildings, and In front of these on a slight- ly raised platform the players acted with- out scenery and the many mechanical ap- pliances we have today. From Olympia Dr. Quinn journeyed to Athens. After passing many interesting islands and the ruins of the walls which once connected this city with the sea, the Greek capital was reached. It is over- looked by the Acropolis, that stronghold which played such an important part in history when Athens was in her glory. Here, as in Olympia, now nothing but ruins greets the visitor. A few tall columns mark the spot where once stood a mag- nificent temple. A mutilated statue thrown from some building now reposes amid broken stone. That once famed Parthenon is now-a mass of ruins, hardly to be recog- nized as the one of old. Dr. Quinn informed his audience of the reviving of the Olympian games which will take place this spring. Mr. Ay roff, a rich Greek of Alexandria, has Biven $1,000,000 for the adorning of the Stadion for this purpose. These games, when revised, will take place every four years, not at Olym- pia, but in the different cities throughout Europe. Four years from this spring they will be at Paris. It is probable that the Same spirit will be shown, and that once more the best productions of body and mind will contest for prizes. The lecture was liberally illustrated with stereopticon views, which added to its at- twactiveness. His style of delivery Is con- versational, and his method is such as to be instructive as well as entertaining. Se ARMOR PLATE FACTORY. Secretary Herbert Against Extablixh- ing One in This City. Secretary Herbert has informed the naval committee of the Senate of his disapproval of the bill introduced by Senator Smith to establish an armor plate factory in this ty. He submits a report receivel from Commodore Sampson in the same line, say- ing: “The site selected for the plant re- ferred to tu the inclosed bill should be on | the railroad or readily connected by ra‘ therewith, because the material for the manufecture of armor would com? mainly over the railroad. It should also be on the river front, in order that tram r might be used wi to establish the most dir: ion with the proving grounds, where tests of armor would be made. The most available location seems to be west of the navy yard and adjoining it. This iand is unoccupied, but as it is mostly mad it might present engine in’ installix tools and furnaces. son estimates that such a plant would cost $2,200,090. Secretary Herbert submits the following reusons against the advisabil y of the cnterpris “It would be nec y to haul from leng ‘able exp the coal, iron ore, or cr other material used in the manufacture of armor. An establishment large enough to handle the heaviest class of plates would have an output, if kept at work regularly throughout the year, of a much larger quantity of armor than the goverpment Would be likely to ne=d. It would not pay to erect such a plant and then a: low it to remain idle the larger part of the year. Workers in steel of sufficient skill and knowledge to be employed in the manuf; ture of armor plates receive ver h wages, and it would not be practicable to hire such men when armor ts to be manu- factured and discharge them when their services are no longer needed. Suca arti- ficers are commonly able not only to com- mand high wai but to find continuous employment. To keep the plant in order merely would require the constant main- tenance in the pay of the government of a considerable force of skilled mechanics.” i iron, and | i ————_+ e+. FROM SPANISH SOURCES, Telegrams Received by Mininter De Lome From Gen. Weyler. Senor de Lome, the Spanish minister, has received several telegrams from Gen. Wey- ler, the Spanish leader in Cuba, in regard to recent engagements with the insurgents. In one of these telegrams Gen. Weyler says: “The country people in the neyghborhood of the Morales plantation, where the last encounters took place, say that they have buried more than seventy rebels, among them one who wore a long, light beard, who had a paper in his pocket which reads as follow: ‘Carrillo, send me salt; I have nore. Gomez. They also found more than 150 horses, some of them dead and others wounded. From reports of one of his band to his family, it is shown that Maceo was wounded in the arm during the fights at Candela and Gato Hills.” In another telegram he says: “Gen. Pratts reports that on the 24th he left Jovellanos, following the track of a large band toward Camaraque. He found the enemy in the Pafla valley, numbering about four thousand, formed by the bands of Zayas, Mestre, Bermudez and Michelini, which were commanded by Maceo. He di: lodged them from their positions and cap- tured at the point of the bayonget the plantations Diamante, Perla and Julio. The enemy, after & sharp fire, was forced to re- treat, leaving In the field forty-two killed, six prisoners and forty-nine horses. He next overcame the rear guard of the en- emy of about five hundred men, dispersin, them and killing three of them and seve! horses.” —————-o+.-—___ The Fling for New Berne. ‘To the Editor of Tbe Evening Star: In writing of the article on the presenta- tion of a flag to the city of New Berne, N. c., your reporter got the facts somewhat mixed. As is well known, New Berne was estab- Ushed by a party of emigrants from Berne, Switzerland, under the lead of Christopher de Graffenried. In 1891 the mother city cel- ebrated the 700th anniversary of her foun- dation, ard the daughter, in remembrance of her origin, delegated the mayor to rep- resent her at the birthday fete. The mayor of New Berne was, at the same time, in- structed to inform the authorities of the older city that the daughter had adopted the coat-of-arms and flag of the mother city. The mother city has now had a mag- rificent flag made, with the coat-of-arms of the city of Berne, and this is the flag pre- sented by the Swiss minister to the mayor of New Berne Not the flag of Switzerland, which has no connection whatever with the case beyond the fact that Berne is situated in and the capital of that country. ELK BEGAN AS A “PRODIGY. Eventful Stage Career of Madge Kendal. Her Home Life is Happy, and She is Mother of Five Children. Honse of the Kendals in Port'and Plisa Model of Ocmfort. No actress ever came to America, with the possible exception of Sarah Bernhardt, ‘wiro has held public in- ierest as has Madge Kendal. A matronly and attractive woman in private life, she stirred up a breeze of criticism in her presentation of “The Second Mrs. Tanquary,” and the merits and faults of her imper- sonation have been widely discussed. Mrs. Kendal is a fine type of the handsome and robust English wo- man. She is the mother of five chil- dren, and is said never to be hap- pier than when with them at her beautiful home in the fashionable piecincts of Portland pl., London. Her first appearance as an actress may be stated to have taken place July 29, 1865, when she was seen as Ophelia at the Haymarket in Lon- don. Her first appearance in America was in the fall of 1889. She was seen in Boston December 9 of that year, at the Hollis Street Theater. The successive tours of the Ken- dals have made them rich, and they now devote themselves more than ever to their family, which consists of two sons and three daughters. Mrs. Kendal was often approached when in this country by persons who asked her how she kept her superb vitality when playing so many diffi- cult roles for weeks at a time. To these inquirers she made this statement: “The Genvine JOHANN “S MALT EXTRACT has helped me considerably to keep my strength. I consider it the best nutri- tive tonic and table beverage I know of.” And in Mrs. Kendal’s hand- some London home the tonic made by Johann Hoff had a conspicuous place on the sideboard. THE CONGR) To the Baie Sir: It appears that in a recent article published in your paper upon the new ( gressional Library the titles of the ilustra- tions are quite misleading, and do an ob- vious injustice to the former architects of the building. As is clearly outlined in thg text accom- panying the illustrations, the exterior of the building, as well as the general plan, are virtually the designs of Smithmeyer & Pelz, with subsequent modifications by Mr. Pelz. At a later rede: date it was found necessary to interior architecture and many other f. bout the building, as the ex un would admi This task was a d to me, as is rectly stated in the text.

ACROSS THE PACIFIC. The American Schooner Alda Made It im the Quickest Time. According to reports received by the kh drographie office, the American schoo: Alda, commanded by Capt. A. Anderson, has made the quickest passage across the Pacific ever made by a sailing She made the rin from Shanghai to Port Town- send in twenty-six days, breaking the record. Few sailing vessels have crossed the Atlantic ocean, about half the distance covered by the Aida, in the same length of time. According to the log of the Aida, she left Shanghai at 3 p.m., on January 14, and arrived at Port Townsend at 5 p.m., of Feb- ruary 9, having made the passage the great- er part of the way with favorable winds, which bowled her along at a good rate of speed. Estimating taat she came the most direct route, she must have sailed probably 6,000 miles, or upward of 220 miles a day, at a sustained speed of ovcr nine knots an hour all the way over. This is considered a most remarkable record for a sailing vessel, and will probably not be surpassed for a long while to come. ———_+-2.___ The Salvationists’ Danger. The London Chronicle publishes interviews with Salvation Army leaders in New York en the subject cf the disturbance there. In an editorial cn the subject the paper de- clares that the threats of secession from the army will come to nothing, but thinks that the disruption of the army is more likely after the death of Gen. Booth through family dissensions among the Booths. Mr. and Mrs. Ballington Booth are still at Montclair, N. J., where they intend to re- main for several wecks to rest. Mr. Booth hes received letters from pastors of chureh- es in New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Boston, asking tim to conduct a series of meetings. He is in communication also with an undenominational committee of rep- tesentative men of New York, who are offer- ing him whatever financial support he necds to carry on independent evangelical work. —+0-- Acts Approved.
