Earnestness Graphic ricture off the Insurgents' Gallant Struggle Mr Morgan Boldly Hints at War With Spain Vales on the Referring to Cuba Expected at an Eurir Get a Wont Washington Feb Cuban question came before the Senate today for definite and final action and It is expected that votes will be taken at an early day on the several pending propomitions requesting pain to recognize the belligerency of Cuba and requesting a recognition of Independence There is every indication also that the debate will lead to more radical and decisive resolutions The opening of the debate to-day drew large crowds to the galleries and there was frequent demonstrations of approval at the stirring and dramatic utterances of several of the speakers 11r Lodge of Massachusetts and Air Morgan of Alabama were particularly forcible and direct in their language Mr Morgan expressing the belief that war between the United States and Spain would result from recognizing the Cubans as bbillgerents In graphic-ally picturing the rise and spread of the rebellion Mr Lodge said: "JtIst a year ago another revolution began It began in the eastern part of the island with a small band of SOO men With the vast wilderness of flying bullets that come from Spanish sources it is very difficult and it is not worth while perhaps to try to trace the battles which have been fought But there are certain great facts which there is no mistaking Those men who started so feebly a year ago in the eastern part of the island have crept over that island from one end to the other The 500 have grown until even to-day the hostile accounts represent them at 45000 in the field "We know that the railroad lines are cut that the telegraph lines are down that every report of a Spanish victory that comes to us in the newspapers is followed by the statement of a fresh insurgent advance We know as a matter of fact that the whole of that Island to-day where the Spanish fleets ride at anchor and where the Spanish armies are encamped Is in the hands of the insurgents We know they have formed a governinent they have held two elections that every officer in the army holds his commission tram the government which they have established We know there is a provisional gov to step to the front any say to Spain: "You have long enough lacerated thooe Perm le" The Senator said the attftude taken by the United States acting according to its plain duty need give no offentie to Spain But if it did give offense then it WWI a choice between that of and Gne against the God of nations- Much a choice could be made with firmness and confidenee Mr klorgan amid the republict of Cuba already exieted It might yet be in embryo a Moses In the bultrushes yet In time the world would recognize it ma a republic Al the Island of Cubs had been as close to Great Britain as to the United States Cuba would have been absorbed a century ago Mr Morgan paid he-approached this question reluctantly but that the committee bud found itself confronted by a large mass of petitions and had felt It to be Incumbent upon it to take some action It was necessary to either report adversely or favorably and kg would gay here what he had said Ift the Committee he contemplated war at the end of whatever action the United States might take: that Spain Would be ristified in resenting any interfereace because of the feeling entertained by Spain toward this country He also said he believed Spain would be under obligations to this country for -action which would provoke hotitilities The fetters which Spain had fastened upon the limbs of Cuba in the beginning were rolling away and if this revolution does not free Cuba the next or the next will Spain knows and feel' this and would rather loose Cuba while in confilet with the United States than In any other way Spain he contended had no legitimate excuse to hold Cuba after Mexico Venezuela and the Central American tountries had achieved their Independence and Cuba would have aehleved her Independence at the same time that the other countries did but for the existence of slavery Now the circumetances were different and the elaves are enraged with their former masters in the tight for liberty Mr Morgan repeated his declaration of reluctance to enter upon this assertion cf the American position but he had taken the step with -deliberation and he felt that in doing this America hri practically drawn her sword and had in effect said to Spain she could regent the act If so disposed This statement brought out applanse from the galleries Mr Morgan said his opinion was that Congress had a perfect right to make a declaration of war and an absolute perfect and independent right to recognize belligerency or to recognize independence and to enforce the declaration by a military movement either by land or sea furthermore Congress had the right to command the commander-in-chief of the army to go on the field in the execution of the order This statement brought out a burst of applause Mr Morgan did not conclude his speech without saying he would go on another day as there were many Points connected with the question he wanted to touch upon at greater length than he could do to-day Mr Chandler suggested that as the debate was taking a wide range and there were several speeches yet to be made it would be well for the Senate to adopt a simple concurrent resolution of sympathy and then allow the debate to proceed In order that the Cubans might have the benefit of the knowledge of our Interest in them before the termi-ft hnostwioan orfestdhye awat hrt

turned down He is bitter against Julian and Fitzsimmons and is talking too much It is believed the Maher camp has no such plan In view and would not be a party to it At 5 o'clock to-night notice was posted at Dan Stuart'a office declaring that all persons who desired to witness the fight should be at Stuart's office at 9:45 o'clock It was also announced that the railroed fare for the round trip would not be over $12 Fitzsimmona was to have reported at I Stuart's office at noon lie did not appear nor did he show up during the afternoon At 6 o'clock a messenger was sent for saying thathe was ordered to come over to Stuart's office at once Fitzsimmons refused to ite company the messenger saying he would not come over until 9 o'clock He aelted if the money was up in Silees hands and when told It was not but that It would be in the shape of a certified check payable to the order Of Thomas O'Rourke Fitzsimmons replied: "Checks don't go No cash no fight I will be over at 9 o'clock and If I atp not shown the money at that time I will not tight I will not get on the train until I see it" This woe telephoned Stuart and the latter replied: "All right I'll flx it" Stuart has refused' several times during the day to have the checks conveyed Into cash and Fitzsimmons has as often declared that there would be a decided hitch in the proceedings unless the money was forthcoming When the word wan brought back that Julian and Fitzsimmons would not hear to anything but the cash in the hands of Referee Slier there was a mad rush of couriers for the different banking houses By a mere chance the Preeldent of the State National Bank was found This is the only bank in the city without a time lock Dan Stuart is good for twice ten thousand in any bank in the city and the cash front the State National was quickly forthcoming After the money was counted and turned over to Slier he sent a eecond messenger to Fitzsimmons saying he had seen and counted the $10000 in cash and that It would be turned over to him to hand the winner at the conclusion of the battle Fitzsimmons declared himself satisfied and came back with the meseenger lie and Julian reached Stuart's office shortly after 7 o'clock and Fitzsimmons declared himself ready for the fight At the depot tickets were sold those who wanted to go to the prize fight to the town of Langtry 400 miles away The train will not reach there until after o'clock to-morrow and there is no telling when the crowd will get back The fight will take place probably about 2:30 o'clock There is only one spot between here and Langtry where it is possible for the fight to take place and as it is guarded It is probable that no attempt will be made to stop there The prize lighting train consisted of six or seven coaches and three

and seizing them whenever they hers anything on board which can be eidered contraband of war "I object to it in the third place because it Imposes belligerent duties as well as belligerent rights and relieves Spain of all further responsibility for the destruction of American property in Cuba by transferring that responsibility to the insurgents" Mr Cameron said in conclusion that if his resolution was adopted and Spain paid no attention to it he would move the immediate recognition of Cuba Mr Lodge spoke vigorously as to the need of action He would he said go farteer than the resolution of the committee While other Spanish dependencies have broken away from Spain Cuba had remained faithful earning the title "Faithful Cuba' And yet oppression dishonesty and robbery had been visited on the island The time haa come declared Mr Lodge when it was the duty of the United States to act firmly and fully The real relations between this country and Spain offered no ties of gratitude or blood to check our action The Senator reviewed the "friendship of Spain" toward the United States England was the first to thrust her hand into cur bloody wound at the outbreak of the civil war France was next and Spain followed Within three months of the firing on Sumter Spain had recognized the Contsderace Mr Lodge spoke of the suppression of a free press and a free church in Cuba A free Cuba would mean the development of that splendid island one of the richest spots On the face of the earth But there was a political rather than a material interest which bid us act Cuba lay athwart the route to the Nicaragua Canal She wee the sentinel of the gulf the great bulwark of the American coast "The island is to-day lost to Spain" said Mr Lodge They may continue to deluge the island with blood but the Island is lost to them" The Senator analyzed the "decrees" issued by Gen Weyier as a plan of demo-laden and extermination If that war goes on with that bloody commander in

influenee of the understanding as I believe they do for humanity and civilization we should exercise every influenee of our great country to put a stop to that great war which is now raging there and try to give to that Island once more peace and liberty and Feenrit Mr who reported the resolution expressed the opinion that "any action that this country might take looking to Cuban recognition would
