I rise to point out one or two absurd statements constantly repeated in the newspapers and which 000000000000000000000OOOOOOOOOOGOAOOOOOOOGOOOGco und an echo in the voice of the gen- eman from Texas. He warns this side that if the President attempts to force will break loose in about fifteen seconds | on the Democratic side. (Laughter on Republican side.) force Cuba to buy her independence. # Jke a tale told by the idiots, full 1d and fury, and full of nothing. - is no such proposition by, to or from the administration, and the whole idle prattle of this character in the newspapers has been just so much folly and nonsense, and yet a statesman, leader of a great division on this floor, rises and solemnly warns the Republi- | can side of this house that if the Pres- ident drives Cuba to buy her inde ~nd- obody has attempted it; it is an idle dream of somebody and talk of the newspapers. Again, what does the gen- | tleman kmnow about how far matters ave progressed -between the United | States as the intermediary source of di- | plomacy and Spain and Cuba on the | other side? The gentleman from Texas | 4id say vesterday that he believed the | ing to force it upon the Cubans and to- | day he said he knew it. Now I rise | simply to say that the gentleman f | wholly mistaken. If he has such in- | formation from an authoritative source { he ought to make it public. The time | has come in this country when misun- | derstanding of what is going on is do- ing more harm than the views of people | who do understand.” “Will the gentleman state,” {inter- posed Williams (D.) of Missouri, “that he believ and knows that it is not in contemplation by the President in the negotiations now going on to treat of a money consideration for the freedom of Cuba?” It is too contemptible to answer. uch a thought never entered into the ead of any man connected with the administration.” “Is there not an intimation of that kind in the negotiations at Madrid?” “What have we to do with the ne- gotiations at Madrid?” asked Grosve- n “I say the purchase of Cuba by the Government or the suggestion of its approval is a story told by an idiot. | There never was anything in it, and | this is only done to fan anew the flame | | | [B | { { { | | | G | that seeks for political advantage on | this floor by springing so-called ques tions of privilege that make the author of them ridiculous in the sight of com- mon_humani | “Were the forty-five gentlemen who met a few eve ago and agreed to vote for inde; e seeking political » asked Lentz (D.) of Ohio. = advantage? “I heard replied Gro: | thing bette; | scheme to promo re witn the of a Fourth of July boy bur ckers, 178 gentlemen put t >s on the right side of the organi- tion of a party and party concord. 2 in conclusion, the administration of this Government to-day is as anxious for freedomandindependence of Cuba as any gentleman on the other side of the House. There is not one man from the President down to the humblest mem~ ber on this floor who will ever, with- out the consent of the Cuban insur- gents, ratify, agree to, or approve any settlement of the Cuban question that does not involve absolute independence for Cuba. (Applause.) There is not a | gentleman on the other side of the dne g firecra | House who knows this better or from | a more direct source of information than does the gentleman from Texas, because he has-had the fullest oppor- tunity to learn the fact and knows it is unjust to the President to intimate that he to-day knows that the Pres: dent is trying to force Cuba to buy her independence.” After declaring that the administra-~ tion was in favor of avoiding war if it could possibly be done consistently witn the honor, dignity and glory of the | American country and after further g war talk which -was for po- litical purposes, Grosvenor sai Cuba will be free, and Cuba will/be free by the intervention of the United ates, 2 declaration of independence unac- companied by a further declaration. What nonsense it would be to declare the jsland of Cuba independent, and then let her starve to death!

WASHINGTON, March 81.—An ap- | parently simple request, made of | the Senate to-day by Frye of Maige, in | behalf of the Foreign Relations Com- | mittee, unexpectedly precipitated a dis- cussion on the Cuban question. It fin- ally led to a passage at arms between Chandler of New Hampshire and Frye, | in which the former made some sar- castic remarks as to the conduct of the Foreign Relations Committee and the attitude of the President. Allen of Ne- braska made the request of Frye the occasion of a speech upon the gen- | eral Cuban question, in the course of which he reviewed his own record on the subject and declared he stood now | just where he had always stood—in fa- | vor of the absolute independence of the Cuban people from that “hideous mon- ster among nations"—Spain. Frye of Maine, who reported yester- | day from the Committee on Foreign Relations a resolution calling upon the | President for the Cuban consular re- | ports, requested that the resolution lie | on the table until such time as the com- mittee shall call it up. The commltteai was constantly engaged in work, and | there was reasons why the resolution | should not be considered in the absence | of the committee. | Chandler of New Hampshire objected | | to making any such contract as sug- | gested, and Frye then moved that the resolution be recommitted to the For- | elgn Relations Committee. On that mo- tion Allen of Nebraska expressed his desire to be heard. | _Allen reviewed his record upon the the Cuban question, saying that he and former Senator Call of Florida were the { first members of the Senate to take a | strong stand in favor of the independ- ence of Cuba. Allen said if he could | have his way he would support the erection of a republic in Cuba with all the land and naval forces of the United i States and force the construction of an | independent nation over the ashes of | Spain’s sovereignty on the island. Allen read voluminous excerpts from speeches which he had made during the past two years to indicate that he had | been constantly and consistently in fa- vor of the independence of Cuba. He said that he had never wavered in the belief that Cuba would some time stand forth in the grand galaxy of republics. He maintained that the United States | stood as an elder brother to Cuba, and unless we did our full duty toward her we would be guilty of base cowardice. The independence of Cuba must be wrested from Spain—that hideous mon- ster among nations—so that the people | of that island should have the richt to breathe the air of freedom. He held that the right of self-government was | inalienable, and was as much the right of Cuba as of the people of the United State: e in forty years have the Cu- bans struggled for their freedom,” Al- len declared. “and now they stand in sight of that goal, guided by the mas- | ter, Gomez, who will, in his time, be re- garded as one of the greatest com-| manders and revolutionists of this cen- | tury. He will live in thousands of pa- | triotic hearts so long as freedom shall have an abiding place with good peo- ple. | Allen compared the career of Weyler in Cuba with the conduct of the revo- | lution in the Netherlands. There was | universal destruction, devastation and | death. This picture, vivid more than | imagination could paint it, had been drawn for this Senate by Senators Proctor, Gallinger, Thurston and Money.. Weyler’s policy was strongiy | presented and his ‘“brutalities and | atrocities” were sharply portrayed. He | declared that Weyler's rule in Cuba had | been “tempered with murder and mod- | ified by assassination.” | Referring to the catastrophe to (he | @ Maine, Allen said that Spain must be | made to pay for the wholesale murder American seamen. | She must, said * Senator Allen, | “compensate for that murder at least by freeing Cuba, by furling her dirty | flag and leaving the continent, never tc| return. Iam a jingo of jingoes. 1 have | < felt that the Cubans would ul- | pe able to wrest their freedcm T Spein. Whatever may be done about the Maine disaster, one thing ought to be distinctly understood. It/ should not be submitted to the:arbitra- | ment of a foreign power.” | Allen said that this coufitry had no | greed for Spanish territory or for Span- ish gold, nor was it the desire of the | nited States to establish a protector- | ate over Cuba; but the torch which was lighted in Cuba must be extin- guished. Further along Allen sald: | “If I could have my way, I would in- | stantly recall our Minister to Madrid and hand to the Spanish Minister here | | his passports.” He said that he was opposed to the general policy of the President of the United States, but as one of the rep- | resentativ timate] in the Senate of a great | State, he was willing to give him his support in a proper solution of the Cu- | ban problem. for he felt that all po- | litical considerations at a time like this | ought to be laid aside and men of all parties should stand together. He be- lieved in a few more days we should witness Cuba’s ficg, consecrated by hundreds of thousands of lives, wav- | ing in triumph over the island. Scarcely had Allen concluded when | | Chandler of New Hampshire precipitat- ed a lively scene. He thought the ac- tion of the Committee on Foreign Re- | 1ations indicated some doubt and inde- | cision, Yesterday the committee thought |2 new call for the consular reports ! | ought to be made; to-day it thought the call ought to be withdrawn. “The first call,” said Chandler, *“was made in a resolution presented by the Senator from Alabama (Morgan) on February 14. . On the following day, at | 9:40 a. m., an answer to the call for in- formation came from Spain (a signifi- cant reference to the Maine disaster). { I have the fullest confidence in the | Committee on Foreign Relations. Thave confidence that the President intends | to pursue a patriotic and righteous course in the present emergency, and | T shall thank God when he reaches a conclusion of some sort or other. There- fore, I am not in rebellion as yet against the powers that be. I awalit upon the Committee on Foreign Rela- tions. I do not think that as that com- | mittee deemed it advisuble yesterday | to make a second call for the Consular correspondence and has now reached the conclusion that the second call | should be made, the committee ought | to give us some reason for the delay.” | Frye then renewed his motion to re- commit the motion to the committee. “I shall not object,” sharply respond- | ed Chandler, “to letting the Committee | on Foreign Relations having control of the resolution—to letting the committee start, turn back and then start again. I will help the committee whenever I | can.” | The motion to recommit was passed. Thereupon Chandler reintroduced, on ! his own account, the committee’s reso- | lution and asked that it go over until to-morrow. Frye gave notice that he | would move, when the resolution was called up, to recommit it to the Com- | mittee on Foreign Relations. Big Real Estate Deal. SANTA CRUZ, March 3L.—The biggest real estate transaction carried out here | for some time was closed to-day when | H. L. Middleton of Boulder Creek pur- chased James Dougherty’s large inter- ests in Boulder Creek and vicinity for | $55,000. The purchase includes planing, | saw_and shingle mills, store, town lots, { iiw%mngu and large tracts of timber | lands. ‘mas; SPANIARDS REPORT ON STARVATION General Blanco Declares the Situation Is Improved. Admits the Good Work Done by the United States and Does Not Try to Underestimate the Misery in Cuba. Call Office, Riggs House, © ‘Washington, March 31. The Spanish Legation has re- ceived a full report from Cap- tain-General Blanco, from the Governors of all the provinces of Cuba and from the Alcaldes and Chiefs of Police of the principal cities as to the condition of the reconcentrados. It is an elabo- brate treatment of this subject by the officers directly in charge, and gives the situation fullv from their standpoint. It is note- worthy that they do not seek to minimize the dreadful condition of these people, but endeavor to show that they are doing their utmost to alleviate the misery and misfortune which exists. General Blanco’s report is in substance as follows: CCO00000000000000C000 0000000000000 C0000000 [ In the midst of the painful impression caused by the situation of the reconcen- trados, it is some satisfaction to note the great improvement in their condition as compared with which it was four or five months ago. In response to the keen in- terest which the home Government has shown in the matter, this Government has endeavored from the very first, in every possible way, to alleviate so much misery and misfortune. The cities, over- filled with men, women and children without work, were unable to sustain a population of consumers who produced nothing; the destruction of so many ham- lets by the insurgents compelled the un- fortunate inhabitants to seek refuge in the towns to save their lives, the only thing possible to be saved from this wan- ton and barbarous destruction, which had reduced them to a state of the most horrible wretchedness, In cipe nearly all the reconcentrados were of this class. The maladies originated by this crowding together of human beings and the fatal be f in an inevitable com- bined to take away from many the neces- sary energy to struggle for Lie, and to discourage priv ered itself imp help from offi arity, other and | sadder considerationy @y be made to | explain a certain parsive resistance | among some elements which regarded every reconcentrado as an enemy more or less disguised; the result of all this was the truly formidable problem presented, | r from the fact that it was sity of immediate ur 7. The disposition of this Government was attack the cvil at its source. By the f Nov. t the return mber - 14 centrad. re authorized arms to defend o . In this the citles were 1 of a large part of their abnormal tion, and a check given to the dis- s produced o owding. Com- s of help were organized, Interven- v to the clergy, 1i the more respectable ele- charity, a few days after ishment of these juntas, provid- ed them wit for handling over oy popula ca tion in them being giv and the 23d of November, and $50,000 nd of March. The governors and were called upon ‘to show their zeal by giv imple, an app: to which’ the s responded with an interest worthy of all praise. In this way was private charity encouraged and enabled to organize its own protective economic Kitchens and char- ciations which distribute relief personally and contribute powerfully to relieve the suffering. As a result of all this piblic spirit be- gan to rise again, confidence returned, and a disposition to work began to pre- vail. In Santa Clara there are actually | a large number of these unhappy beings occupied in the field of labor. to avold the overcrowding which wa: found to occur when the laborers re- turned to the town: huts were erected for them in the culti- vated zone, with very excellent results. In Pinar del Rio five villages are being reconstructed, and effective means are be- ing taken to incre: cricultural labor. I In order X Santiago de Cuba, the cultivated zones are in perfect cons dition. Those in San Luis, Sango and Canery may_be termed as models. = In Matanzas 10,000 free rail were given to th 0s who returned to their old hom dually the gravity of the crisis is passing away, but owing ty the heizht it attained this cannot be ac complished in a brief time part from any preconceived idea it is only just to admit that the help wiics comes from the United States 13 also a powerful means of - relief in the actual wants. The Governor of this provinee (Havana) calculates at $10,000 the yalue of the provisions, clothes, medicines, ato. distributed in this city during the month S | of February, which have contributed to the relief of the excessive number of re- concentrados here. It is sad to note that the population has diminished, but it must be remembered that this is by no means due exclusively to want and mis- ery. Tlh(; emigration which occurred in some cities was enormous; In antiago de Cuba alone 12,000 passports hnsve boen signed. The official statistics also show that the high rates of mortality are ot due in many cases to the absence of pro- visions. It has been observed that the largest number of deaths occur upon the arrival from the country of new groups of reconcentrados who, unwilling to take the advice of the doctors, in their debili- tated state eat the ‘“rancho” that the thoughtless charity of the soldiers makes them proffer, in many vcases with fatal results. I will say in conclusion that the situa- tion has improved much and that the most active point of the crisis has passed. The problem,. however, is not yet solved, nor can this be done immediately, be- cause the majority of the persons de- pendent on public charity at the moment are children and women Whose future has to be assured. A state 0f war invariably leaves deep scars and much work and time are necessary to repair the damage done in a single day. Accompanying the report of General Planco are reports from the governor of Matanzas Province, Francisco d’Ar- the governor of Santa Clars Province, Marcus Garcia; and from the governors of Havana and Pinar del Rio. The erovernors give the technical condition of the reconcentrados in the several provinces, the expenditure of funds and the establishment of relief kitchens, etc. Governor d rmas says the havoc began when the fertile fields of Matanzas were invaded by the in- surgents in 1895, desolating the land and leaving the people out of work. He ad- mits that the reconcentrado decree of 1896, instead of diminishing the evils, augmented them. Governor Garcia of Santa Clara gives the particulars of the relief measures adopted. The Gov- ernor of Pinar del Rio glves a lst af Puerto Prin- | without a decided | to their homes | after the day’s work, | and encourage ag- | reconcentrados in the villages of his province to whom rations are issued. He states the number of these recon- centrados to be 15,686, of whom 8475 are over 14 years of age. The suffering is as intense in this province as in others, ! except where people have secured and have been allowed to carry their rifles. The chief of police of Matanzas says the situation has improved noticeably since the reconcentrados are securing work. The worst feature of the situa- | tion seems to be that while the men | are relieved by getting work, the wo- men and children are still a charge on the community. The suffering is | greatest in this class, and the efforts toward relief are mainly directed to the women and children. DIPLOMATS DECLARE | WAR IS [MMINENT Continued from First Page. change of policy is regarded as most im- portant. The proclamation of General Blanco restoring reconcentrados to freedom is a central fact. It is true that Spain has | issued other edicts abating the rigors of | confinement of these helpless creatures, | but suffering and want have continued. Although the rigors were officially abated, deaths from starvation in these fortified towns increased. The release of these reconcentrados so that they could go back to their farms and work was one of the things requested by President McKinley in his correspond- ence with Spain. Congress has been thundering for it for months. Spain has either yielded this point in correspond- ence that has been had so far or else is acting independently of us. She has certainly acted with great haste. The fact that a credit of 3,000,000 pesetas has been voted to General Blanco for re- lief work, the money to be applied to food, agricultural implements, etc., has a look that is ominous. Spain may be getting ready to co-operate with us in relief or she may be preparing to say to Europe that she is able to care for the sufferers in Cuba and that the United States relief is not needed there. Time for Intervention. LINCOLN, Neb.,,” March 31.—Hon. Willilam J. Bryan to-night made the first statement for the Associated Press in answer to the question wheth- er, in his judgment, the time had ar- rived for the ~nited States to inter- vene in behalf of Cuba and bring the war to an end. He said: “Yes, the time for intervention has arrived. Hu- manity demands that we shall act. Cuba lies almost within sight of our shores and the sufferings of her reople cannot be ignored unless we, as a na- tion, have become so engrossed in money making as to be indifferent to distress.” Chile to Sell No Warships. LIMA, Peru (via Galveston), March 31.—The Chilean Government, it is as- | serted on good authority, will not sell | any warship to the United States. The Oregon is expected here on Sqtgrdny. The gunboat Marietta, on finishing | coaling, contracted for ccal for the battle-ship Oregon and sailed for Val- paraiso at 8 o’clock this evening. ADVERTISEMENTS. Il A well selected text is half of the ser- mon. Given a good text and a preacher who is in earnest, and the result is sure to be good. The text of thisarticle isa lain simple statement that proves itself in the reader’s own mind without argu- ment. The text is * Good health is bet- ter than great riches.” Without health nothing really matters very much. A hacking cough takes all the beauty out of a landscape or a sunset. Erysipelas or eczema will spoil the enjoy- ment of sprightly conversation, of a beau- tiful concert, of a wonderful gsm!mg. The biggest bank account in the world won't pay a man for his health, but a very smail amount of money will make him healthy and keep him healthy. Most all” bodily troubles start in the digestive or respiratory organs. It is here that improper living first makes an opening for disease. The development differs as constitutions and temperaments differ. The causes are almost igentical. To get at the root of the matter is simple enough if you start right. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is a medicine for the whole body. It works through the digestive organs on all the others. It cures the first thing it comes to and after that, the next. It puts health in place of disease in the storach, and from the vantage ground thus gained, it . reaches every fiber of the body and drives _disease before it — indigestion, liver troubles, kidney complaint, biliousness, skin and scalp diseases, salt-rheum, tetter, eczema, and all the troubles caused by impure blood. i ADVERTISEMENTS.
