WASHINGTON. Great Speech of General Banks on the Cuban Conflict. B.esident Grant’s Message Se- verely Criticised. Spanish Insolence---Minister Roberts Accused of Falsehood. Spanish Outrages Upon Americans to be Investigated. More Disclosures Concerning the ‘ Dominican Negotiations. ‘The Surrency Bill Under Cozsideration in the House. : WASHINGTON, suine 14, 1879. Thrilling opeech by General Banks on Conflict in Cuba=Severe Criticism of Presic dent Grant’s Message. Ivis very refreshing to hear _onee @ very long while a speech from vhg hea: =9n¢ of (hone spontas -nocls, dneiaborated pieces of eloquence whieh a real orator, under the inspiration of the moment, gives free vent to. It is very seldom we get such Mxuries here, Sénatorsand mempers have got so much in ‘the habit of reading somutferous essays that it has come to be a sacred rule now almost never to attempt a speech, unless of the most ordinary kind, ‘Without the most extravagant destruction of fools- cap in advance and, altogether, the most exhaustive Preparation. The result is that generally one Is most profoundly overcome by learning and sleep com- ‘bined in the effort to foliow debates In the Senate or House. But now and then these drowsy spells are broken; scinething comes up that sets the fullest Preparation at defiance and we get a speech, a real One, such as rouses people and makeg them recall the days of Ciny and Webster, and Henry and Burke, and Cicero and Demosthenes, Grant’s mes- * Sage yesterday on Cuba furntsied such an occasion to-day, and General Banks delivered a speech which, though it may not read in print like a finished piece ‘of oratory, was’certainly in delivery the most etfec- ve thing I have-heavd here in over three years, It ig not the habit of General Banks to write out his ‘speeches in advance, but he generally studies up his subject beforehand and trusts to luck or inspiration for the rest. No doubt ho had thus fortified bimeelf to support his report on Cuba, but the mes- _Bage.of Grant, of- Fish, or Custing, ds the case may ‘be, intervened and operated to modify his entire plan. The result was that when he spoke to-day before a full, excited ana sympathizing gallery he ound himself. obliged to treat of the President's message more than of his own réyort, He found ‘humseit thrown upon his own native strength of in- tellect and fertility of resources, and, discarding all preconceived plans of argument, he launched into @ strong impromptu address, whieh made up in fire and vigor what it may have lacked in study and Preparation, “ZL have never seen the members themselves, as ‘well as the spectators in the galleries, so thoroughly Worked up. Several times the excitement and en-' thusiasm found freedom in appiause; clapping of hands aud stamping of feet, and-murmure Of appro- bation from members themseives. Thig is a rare compliment in these days, but 1¢ was richly deserved by Panks. His address througnout was a very “thinly concealed critic: iam of President Grant’s mes- sage. It overflowed w) " + peastic references to thé authorship of the docuinéht, ‘the, singular similarity in thought and expression witit diplomatic notes of the Spanish Minister, and the pusillanimity of ourforeign policy- It referred to Caleb-Cushing, not by name, but so plainly that everybody on the floor and many in the galierlés knew who was meant. When the orator allowed to. escape some bitter, deeply cutting words about a lawyer who might be m the employ of Spain, and Grant and Isabella at the same time it sent ashot, not an occa- sional ono, at President Grant and Congress both. When it declared the adminisiration was not to blame, because ihe national Legislature had taught it was dangerous to nave a poiicy;’ but for the American lawyer who could send such a document as the message ofyesterday to Congress nothing but everlasting disgrace could follow him, It showed up the barbarities and outrages committed by Spain in Cnba, the insults to the American flag, the impunity with which our citizens were murdered there, and the protection enjoyed at the same time bythe sub- jects of Great Britain, and then it declared that the cowardly policy of our government was the cause, n words of stirring import 1t threw forth the noble idea that to be safe as a nation we must be brave as @ nation; we must be firm and just; only cowardly, pusillanimons peoples were imposed upon and abused. Ic shattered to atoms the pretence that the Cubans were not belligerents because they held no * towns and had no seat of government, and brought down a hearty laugh by remarking that man made the town, but God made tne country, and that no seat of government was needed or could be fixed by @ people carrying on a straggle for independence, if, in dealing with international opjections, it was | equa'ly fortunate, demonstrating that should we prociaim nentrality we would only be following in a Juster and more discreet manner the example of Spain herself and all the nations of Europe. When, at its conclusion, Generat Banks related an a@leged remark of Minister Roberts, to the effect that he (Banks) was actuated in his advocacy of Cuba by improper motives, and when Banks declared that a minister who could say that deserved to be drummed out of the country, he had his listeners at a pitch of sympathy and en- thusiasm that was quite remarkable. Cheering, which Speaker Blaine made little effort to suppress, greeted General Banks when fie took his seat, and members of both sides of the House crowded about him to offer their congratulations, Aiter thus congratulating General Banks the mem- bers scattefed over the hall and went into the cloak rooms to discuss the merits of the speech. Judge Orth, who followed as the representative of the mi- notity of the committee, advocated the bill of Sena- tor Morton, which simply provides for a strict enforcement of the neutrality laws, He lavored under great disadvantage, coming upon tie heels of an efjort like thator Banks, Tne members did not listen, Many of them went out of the hall, and others were standlig here and there, in corners, discussing the points of Banks’ speech. The au- dience in the galleries left, not seeming to wish to have the good etiect of the speech to which they had listened disturbed. Orth was followed by Farns- worth, who made a rambling attempt to sustain the minority report. Governor Swann, of Maryiand, who represents the democrats on the Foreign Affaus Committee, read an clavorate wiliten speech in favor of Banks’ report. Mr. Ambler, of viio, made short speech in favor of the minority, after which the House took a recess until half-past seven, ~ Aun Excited Eveuiug Session of the House. The galleries of the House were well filled to- night, and a large number of members were in at- ten@ance, indicating increasing interest m the debate on the Cuban question. Several Senators were also upon the floor, apparently interested spectators. Mr. Ambler, of Ohlo, finished duis remarks. commenced just before recess, but there was nothing in them worthy of note, He was followed by Wilkinson, of Minnesota, a member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, in support of Banks’ report. The speech of the evening was madd py Fitch, of Nevada, who took up the President’s Message ani criticised 1t from beginning to end, saying some very plain things about the foreign policy of the administration as re- gards Cuba, He charged home upon the Secretary of State, saying that he onght to either disprove the story chat his son-in-law, Sidney Webster, Was the paid aitorey for Spain, or else relieve the NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, ‘JUNE ON ae oe 25 180. 2B LE ae 1870.—-TRIPLE SHEET. administranon from eimbarrasement by re’ ignins his place tn the abinet, ‘This was recelvei!

Its the opinton of General Banks to-night that the resolution, with @ slight modigeation, will pass the House by a majority of trom forty to fifty. . Butler, Logan, Bingham. and other prominent republicans speak to-morrow, Logan and Bingham will support the resolutions, Butler, itis understood, wili oppose them. There-ig much excitement among members to-night over the debate to-day. Uutrages Upon Americans tn Cuba. The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations had No regular session to-day for want of aquoram. A prominent member ef the committee stated to your correspondent to-day that he thought no acilon Would be taken om the Cuban message, but that apart trem the message some steps will be speedily taken with reference to the outrages committed upon American citizens, Mr. Casserly, the demo- cratic member of the committee, to-day imtroduced @ resolution asking of the Executive all information respecting atrocities practiced npon American eith- zens and vessels. eo More Exposures Concerning the Dominica’ NegotintionsThe Cause of Mr. Hatch’s Imprisonment. The Senate. Investigating Committee tn the case of Hatch in St, Domingo continued the examination of General Baboock to-day, The testimony was chiefy in reply to Perry’s statement that Babcock wrote to Baez to appoint Mr, Fabens to represent the Dominican government at Washingion. This General Babcock denicd, but admitted that he did Suggest the appointment of M. Gautier, the Minis- as Foreign Affairs, Ag further bearing upon the of Hate! General Babcock presented the report of Commander W. W. Queeu, of the cruise of the Tug carora after the revolutionary steamer Telegrafo, giving on extract as follows;— ‘The policy of Ené @oVeruinent of the Island Tor- tola in relation to the Fee, has been extremey vacillating, caused, no doubt, in a great measure by the persons tterested in the vessel, many of Whom are at present here. Having accompanied Governor Pine from Antigua, the Governor himself has cevel- loped that the sale of the vessel was a shag. The oiicer effecting the sale as been dismissed, and the money paid into the colonial freasury, and the eom- mission in the sule has been returned. The oaly paper which the vessel was enabled to exhibit at Tortola was @ biil of nealth furnished by one Hatch, an rican, at . ie ona, Q Domt- nicin 'poit, ary uit of Cnty. A’ certificate dated August 6, 1869, ict slates that the vessel put into Tortou tihder the Pomimigr colors, produced at the cusivm house 4 clearance abd bilt of health from the por! of Barahona, St. Domingo, and no other documents to prove ler nationality and ownership were exhibited. A le'ter was presented regarding some of Porry’s transactions while acting ag consul, that whon the ‘Tybee was in port at St. Domingo, in March last, a Danish subject prosecuted an American sailor be- longimg to that vess.1; that Consul Perry went into the court room and durmg the tral of the case slapped the plainti?, who was a colored man, in the face; that the court broke up and Consul Perry fled to the cousulate aud hoisted his flag for protection. Thé letter’ of ‘the Dominican government was produced ia whith.the conduct of Consul Perry was complained of. The laws’ of the country in such required imprisonment and a fine. The gove adopted a Paci course, and merely requested the recall of Consul Perry. Avery long letter rom Mr. Hatch to General Babcock was also read, a Ta the above account of the committee 1 have given you the Babdéock version. The lerryites have ®@ slightly varied account. They say that Bab- cock was cornered several times to-day, and that he admitted that’ he took ‘“Fabens with bim to Samana, and told the men he left in charge of the American flag in that place to look to Colonel Fabens, They’also say that it was proved that Babcock recommended the Navy Department to appoint Fabeus to take charge of the coal station at Samana, and that he admitted haying procured the release of an American sailor guilty of murder, although he yefused to interfere in Hatch’s case.’ The following is the note of Gautier, which admits that Hatch was confined for hostility to tiie anuexa- ton project;— Sx. Dox Nao City, Feb. 19, 1870, Mr. Consv1 :—In viriue ot the evidence produced pending vhe trial ef lér. Davis Haieh, he was con- demned to deat, when President Baez appealed ¥ the honorable body of Senators, asking them means of a special message for their co-operation to save the life of that individual, and for no other motive than ihat of his being a citizen of Norin Ame ica, Acourding to our institutions the grace of life which is. accorded to ene condemard to death does not prevent, by any means, lis being consigned to perpetual imprisonment; but the President directs that his passports may be given him as soon as circumsiances will permit, so that lie may enjoy full irene in any place wherein his acts wili be inoifensiv us. The repeated and urgent solicitations wi ch you have made in favor, of the sald ilatch, united With the desire which my government has to please that of Washingion, should have persuaded us to concede his passports at once had 1t not bee: for the irreconcilable enmity with which he attacks the government in ali of its acts through the newspapers and their agents, mveniing caluumies to divert the public mind against annexation to the United States, which desire has heen manifesied so loudly aud publicly by tie peopie. that you will be good enough to assure his Excellency, the Secretary . “of State, in Washington, the prolonged sojourn of Mr. Hatch here has been,only to ypunisi his hostile action in New York, assuring hiin, at the sume time, that if this reason will not satisfy him and that should he insist on his (Hatch) being permitted to go to the (Sarde) which has had no other aim than that a ara falsehood and ihe misleading of public nion in the United States, we will be very glad to patiety his wishes, Tavatl myself of this occasion to reiterate to you the seutiments of my most distinguished consid? ra- ton, MM GAUTIER, Minister’ of Foreign Aifairs. To RayMonp H, Perry, U. 8. 0 O. A. This letter was written fn auswer toa peremptory demand for Hatch’s release, made by Consul Perry. The latter made another demand after receiving this note, and falling to accomplish his object immediétely sent for Admtral Poor, accompanied by whom he went to President Baez and requesied the release of Hatch forthwith. Thi belligerent demand was instantly complied With. This letter of Gautier’s was read before the special Senate com- mittee and is said to have produced quite an impres- sion, 1 desire The Georgia Bill. The Reconstruction Committee had a meeting to- day, and once more amended the rgia bull, At the previous meeting the comumitice hid agreed to put on the Bingham amendment. It appears that at the meeting to-day Butier took advantage of the pdsence of some of the conservative members of the committee, and moved to amend the bill by striking out the Bingham amendment, and it was carried. It 13 probable that it will be reported in this shape. Reduction of Revenue Under the New Tax Bill. The Secretary of the ‘Treasury has sent to Senator Sherman, chairman of the Finance Committce, in compliance with his request, a tabular statement ex- hibiting the rates of duty now in force on foreign articles named iv the bill which recently passed the House, and also the rates of duties it proposes, showing the aggregate amount of decrease to be twenty-five millions and a third. The estimate cf reduction in the internal revenue part of the bill on incomes, special taxes, sales, gross receipts, legacies, successions, articles in “schedule A,” gas and stanips 1s nearly $52,000,000, on the basis ofthe receipts for the year ending March 31 last, the aggregate of which amounted to '$179,000,000, The letter also shows tho receipts from spirits for the year ending April 30 were $52,803,000, and to- bacco, $30,428,000. The Taxes on Conl—The Committee Attcmpte ing to Dodge the Question. The Ways and Means Committee have directed Mr. Maynard to report a bill repealing all the taxes on coal, He madé an effort to get it in to-day, but some of the coal tariff men objected, Mr. Hooper, another member of the committee, has also prepared a bill, which he intends to present in the shape of a minority report. It looks very much ag, if the com- mitiee intended to get ont of reporting any vill by making a farce of the whole thing. They profess to be unable to understand the resolution passed by the House directing them to report a free coal bil. Cali for National Bank Reports.
