Bhquiter. “Clover” is the flame) of a pretty little black-and-tan dog,,owned by William J. Sullivan. This dog is/beyond doust the smallest black-and-tan in existence. Mr. Sullivan is a dog breeder and possesses some of the most unique specimens of diff- erent breeds known in this part of the country. Clover is‘a qilcrulous little ani- mal that might-be carried as a watch charm, he is so small, and yet he has at- tained his majority. He is the pet of the family, as well as a mouser and ratter of no mean repute. In order that you may get some idea of ‘Clover his dimensions should be given. This midget is about nine inches long from the tip of his funny little ebon nose to the tip of his funnier Httle ebon tail. He weighs just nine ounces, and can be held upon anybody’s little finger. At the age of nine months black-and-tans cease to grow. Their physical attainments are then fulfilled. Not long ago Mr. Sulli- van was awakened one morning by a curi- ous noise,-and upon getting out of bed saw a sight the like of which was never equal- ed so far as history or tradition records. It was a life struggle between Clover and a mammoth rat. The rat was larger than the dog and was possessed with even tackled him. It was a fight to the death, and at first it looked as though the rat would be the victor. But the dog, with his finer instincts for fighting, got a hold upon the rat’s neck, and in this position the two rolled over and over, the dog never slackening his hold’ ‘until the poor rat was- silent in death. . SPEECHES IN THE SENATE! Wreck of the Maine Demands the Freedom Cuba. ¥ Mr. Lodge Declares That is the Only Monument Worthy to Be Raised Over the Sailo: Grave. The speeches of Mr. Lodge of Massachu- setts and Mr. Lindsay of Kentucky held the attention of the Senate yesterday af. ternoon until 5:25 o'clock. After The Star's report of the Senate proceedings closed Mr. Lodge said, in support of the majority reso- lutions of the foreign relations committee: “I believe when we are face to face with a foreign power that there is one duty that overrides all others, higher than politics and higher than everything else, and that is that the Congress and the peop ané the executive of the United States shouid stand absolutely together. And now, Mr. Presi- dent, when the President comes to Cor gress and invokes Our aid in a coniroversy with a foreign country and asks us to give him power to intervene. I desire that that great power of war should be given him in that wa: “I am against a declaration of war, but I prefer giving the President th> power to intervene. “No one can be more averse to war than I; no one can deprecate more than I any act which will plunge the country into war. If one year ago last January we had rec- ognized their independence they would hay established their independence themselves, Both these propositions passed oy th ate were smothered elsewhere—a wisdom which I shall not question. I have aiso tor many years advocated a powerful navy and strong coast defenses. I hav> advo- cated them because I believed that in them was the guarantee of peace. If ve had to- day, as we ought to have, twenty battie ships and a hundred torpedo boats there never would have been a Cuban question. We are not in this crisis by an accident. We have not been brought here iy chance and by clamorous politicians or by yellow journals. We are face to face with Spain today in the fulfillment of a great move- ment which has run through the centu- ries. Out of the war which Spain wages and the manner in which she wazes it has come starvation and the destructen of the Maine. “Spain Is on her death bed, bu: in debt, bleeding at every vein from Eee yee lutions in her colonies and her officers and officials rob her, dying as she is, in the eyes of the world. We asked Gen. Lee y: terday when he was before us if the $600 000 said to have been appropriated by Spain for the relief of the recontrados Would reach them cr would be spent on the Spanish soldiers, for they are starving, too, and his repiy was ‘It will never reach either of thezn; the officials will take it all on the way.) That is what is going on in Spain, just as it_was when Gil Blas had his adyentures. That is why Cuba has re- belied. The Wreck of the Muine. “And now, in conclusion, what of the Maine? I am so mereiy human that that ship 1s nearer my heart than anything else. Suppose she had gone to her death in an English harbor, blown up, as she was, ca rying her men with her; what do you thin would have been the vojee of England the land of Nelson? I believe if it had happened in an English port England would have said: ‘We regard this with hor- ror; we believe that it must have been an aceldent, but it happened in our harbor, under our flag. If you think otherw rame the reparation that you want Such, Mr. President, I believe would have been the reply of England h, 1 belle wouid have been cur reply or that of an: of the gr She at powers. Look now at Spain. done nothing but slander the s end the living officers of the Her ambassador to Rome said but ‘© to all Europe, in a published interview, that that ship went down be- cause her captain neglected her and was not on board. “We have the eviderce of Captain Sig: bee before our conimittee as to the char- acter of examination which the Spaniards made, trivial, slight, careless, done for a form, tc back up a story which they had already made up their minds to stand by and put forth. That has been the attitude of Spain toward an awful disaster happen- ing in her own harbo: Mr. Frye: “Will the senator frog *jas- sachusetts please add right b3* that the death of our sailors, the de°7ruction of our ship, according to 3°% Lee's testimony, was celebrated 4 banquets and cham- pagne by ir% Spanish officers in Cuba.” “separation ror the Maine. Mr. Lodge—“Mr. President, I thank the senator from Maine for recalling to me the testimony of General Lee on that point yesterday. They rejoiced in Havana, and they explained the explosion by throwing it upon our officers, slandering their charac- ter and denying their words. We ca‘inot take money for the dead men of the Maine. There is only one reparation There is only one monument to raise over tha: grave, and that is free Cuba and peave in that island. That is a worthy monument, worthy of men who died under the flag they loved; died, in the cold language ot the law, ‘in the line of duty.” “We are told that we must not go to war on the narrow ground of reveng». No, net revenge; but we must have reparation for the Maine. We cannot, as a nation, belittle that ease or refuse to demand a gr2az and shining reparation for our dead satlors. we allow that to drop aside, to pass d into an endless tangle of negotiation and law and discussion, we are lost to ails of brotherhood; we are lost to all lov kith and kin; our uniform will no lenger be an honor and protection; it will bz a dis- grace and danger to wear. Your men on your ships are sullen today because they think that the government is not behind them. There are mutterings among the men who wear your uniform because they think you have not striven to redress the awful slaughter of their comrad You must maintain the honor of the uniform and the flag under which the men died. Surely there never was a more righteous cause than this for any nation te ask for justice. “That gigantic murder, the last spasm of a corrupt and dying soclety whict: carried down our ship and our men, c:ies aloud -for Justice. “I care but little what form of words we adopt. I am ready to yield my opinions to those about me in Congress. Stili_ more ready am I to defer to the wishes of the executive who stands and must stand at our head; but I want now to arm that ex- ecutive with powers which will enable him in the good providence of 4 to bring peace to Cuba and exact justic: for the Maine.” Mr. Lindsay for Recognition. Mr. Lindsay of Kentucky concluded the discussion for the day with a powerful speech, in which he advocated the recogni- tion of the Cubans and a concert of action between th> insurgent army and the United States troops in driving the Spanish forces from the Island of Cuba. He claimed this course should be adopted in order that the United States should not incur any liability for the Cuban debt by being plac2d in the position of conqueror of the island, which, he claimed, would make it liable for finan- cial obligations for which the revenues of Cuba are pledged. : 5 Spain had the right, Mr. Lindsay main- tained, to mortgage th> revenues of Cuba, and as a consequence any nation conquer- ing Spain in Cuba would be responsible for those bonds. The obligation of Spain is di- rect. In conquering the island the United States would be apparently rosponsible to the creditors of Spain. Mr. Carter (Mont.) inquired if the Cuban republic should con- quer its own independence and freedom, whether it would be r2sponsible for the Cu- ban bonds. Mr. Lindsay maintained that the case of the United States and that of the Cuban re- public differed from each other materially, in that the very funds deriv2d from the sale of the bonds had been employed to hold the Cubans in subjection. He thought, however, that tee was a question in which we were not in the slightest way intrested. Mr. Carter then inquired whether Mr. Lindsay would have this government shirk the ephem=ral responsibility of Cuban bonds by falling in behind the Gomez government to escape the legitimate consequences of war. * Mr. Lindsay said in reply that he was not afflicted with th2 delicate sensibilities of oa oeat should ween war against es 8 a ‘Spain find’ in has the same kind of war he felt that there would be justification in a union of forces. H> maintained that 4t was the duty of the United States to treat with the insurgent government in Cuba, so that no man should be unjustly dealt with and no man’s prop- erty unjustly confiscated. Mr. Lindsay satd in conclusion that the United States was botind to intervene in behalf of the Cubans by all good faith and national honor. Th> separation of Spain from Cuba was made inexorable by the logic of events—by a dispensation of fate. Mr. Chandler announced that when the foreign relations committee resolution was called up today he would objet to the con- sideration of any other business until the resolution was disposed of. At p.m. the Senate adjourned. —_—__+e-_____ HOW SPAIN SEES Us. According to One A: rity Our } is in Dreadfal Conditio: Lrom the Scientific American, It is a matter of frequent remark that the average European is cs densely ignor- ant on all questions relating to the United States as the average citizen of this coun- try is well informed on European affairs. it is rrobable that outside of a compara- tively narrow circle in England, France and Germany, the people of the old world have only the vaguest idea of the re- sources, wealth and social and industrial development of the United States. They See the nondescript crowds that migrate yearly across the western ocean, and they grow accustomed to the thought that Ame: is a huge agglomeration of unas- similated nationalities. They little under- stand thet such is the size and virility of the American race that these myriads are absorbed without disturbing the natioval equilibrium or changing a ine or skadow of the national countenance. Perhaps it is safe to say that in no Euro- pean country is there so much nusappre- hension regarding the United States as in the very one which has good reason ju now to be best informed regarding us. The information which the Spanish press is giv- ing out to the people is such palpable mis- information that one can scarcely attribute it to mere ignorance, and we are led to believe that the misrepresentation must be willful. One of the most striking instances of this is an article on the United States navy which appears in a recent issue of the Spinish weekly La Hustracion. The United States has usually been credited in Europe with possessing a nayy_ which, though small in numbers, is of the very latest pattern, and includes some of the most original and effective types of ships in the world. The Spanish journal in que tion, however, lends itself to the task of persuading the Spanish public that our navy is made up of poor imitations of European ships; that it is “manned by hire- lings, who calculate, while they are fight- ing, what their valor, in cents, should be worth to them;” that ft is a “navy without traditions of any kind” (ye shades of Far- ragut, Perry and Paul Jones!), and that, therefore, “it will be nothing remarkable if in a short time we see all these” ill- avy designed and -worse constructed “vessels g0 to the rubbish heap.” The article opens by stating that ten years ago our pew | efforts woe confined to repairing the Miantonomoh and hi 9s, which are built “partly of wood” (sic), We are Informed that a navy yard has recently been started at Port Orchard, in Brambridge (sic), and that among othey ploces. where the navy keeps stores 0! ammunition and coal is New Oskaut (New Orleans?) on the Avantic coast. The map cf Washington f to show the pam?

This remarkably lucid and accurate ac- ccunt of our warships concludes by assur- ing the Spanish public that “the rest of the vessels are not worth mentioning.” ———_+ + —__ First Southern Torpedo. From the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle. ‘The story of the first torpedo, which was invenfed and used by General Gabriel Rains during the war with the Seminole Indians, April, 1849, ended in the fighting of sixteen soldiers (who had gone with Captain Rains to investigate the cause of the explosion) with some 100 or more In- dians, and among the casualties the wound- ing of the captain and his being carried to Fort King in the arms of his men. An- other and second torpedo had been pre- vicusly placed at the post by him, and soon after the fight 1,000 or more troops were collected there, and it became such a dread tc the whole ‘army that a soldier guard was put over it urtil Captain Rains was able to go and take ft up. “Suppose,” said one officer to another high in rank, “that the captain had died of his wound, what would you have done?” “I thought,” said the second officer, “of firing at it with a nine-pounder at a’ safe distance, and thus knocking it to pieces.” The occasion of his first submarine tor- pedo was as follows: Soon after the battle of Seven Pines, General Lee, commanding, sent for General Rains and said to him: “The enemy have upward of 100 vessels in the James river, and we think that they are about making an advance that ‘way upon Richmond; and if there is a man in the whole southern confederacy that can stop them you are that man. Will you un- dertake it?” “I will try,” was the answer, and observ- ing that ironclads were invulnerable to cannon of all caliber used, and were really masters of rivers and harbors, it required submarine inventions to checkmate conquer them, so an order was James river bank, opposite to Drury’s Bluff, his first submarine torpedo was made—the imogenitur and precursor of all such in- nations have each a torpedo corps.

The following is the text of the report i= of the minority of the House fe affairs committee in support of their resolutions for intervention and recognition of the Cu- ban insurgents: “We. the undersigned members of the committee on foreign affairs of the House of Representatives, having considered the Message of the President of the United States, which was transmitted to Congress on Monday, April 11, 1888, and on said day referred to said committee, submit the fol- lowing report to the House of Representa- tives.”” After recommending resolutions as a sub- stitute for those submitted by the majority of the committee on foreign affairs, printed in yesterday's Star, the report goes on to rt of the first resolution, guided by motives of humanity and of interest, in- fluenced by divers provocations, among which are the deliberate mc ring of our battle ship, the Maine, over a submarine mine, its ruthless destruction in the harbor of Havana and the death of 206 seamen, we submit the facts to the House, to our coun- trymen. and to the world. “For more than a quarter of a ce with short intervals, a revolution has in progress in Cuba, destroying our com- merce and causing great financial loss to our citizens and unprecedented mortality among the contending factions. “For more than three years the Cuban patriots have struggled freedom with courage. fortitude and self-abnegation, un- excelled in the annals of the human race. These people are our near neighbors, clo: ly connected with us y tles of business and of friendship. In their aspirati for lberty they have been animated by our ex- ample, and have modeled their form of gov- ernment upon ours. “During these three years the Spaniards have butchered these people, starved help less women, children and ol men by hun- dreds of thousands, and have wasted the island by fire and sword in lation of all the rules of civilized warfare. These acts of barbarous cruelty have filled the Ameri- can people with horror, and they are prac- tically unanimous in favor of recognizing the independence of the government estab- lished by that brave and heroic people by the expenditure of so much treasure and so much blood, and our people will be sat- isfled with nothing less, All the Forms of a Republic. “The government which the Cubans have established has all the forms of a repub- lic, and is a republic jn fact, based on may heod suffrage, with legislative and execu tive departments in fuil operation, with a judicial department so far pet as the exigencies of the situation permii, They levy and collect taxes, disburs rge Sums of money, conduct a postal sys- ‘™, maintaig an army of 30,000 men in the id. hay dgfended themselves success- ully against 225,400 Spanish soldiers, 13 (9 of whom are in bra . and are now sion of three-fourths the island.
