LATEST EVENTS AT KEY WEST. Key West, Fla.. March 9. The Brit ish cruiser Cordelia, of the North At lantic squadron, arrived here this af ternoon from 'Belize, British Honduras.

The Daily Chron icle in an editorial tbis morning on the Cuban situation describes McKinley's action throughout the crisis as "a model of 'statesmanship." It declares that the action of 'the Washington gov ernment in connection 'With the Maine disaster deserves the highest' recogni tion. "There is every indication," says The Chronicle, "that the United. States are preparing for the (inevitable strug gle. Scon it 'will be necessary far Great Britain To show on which side its sympathies lie." Arguing at consider able length upon the "unselfishness of America's motives In desiring to put an end to "the (hell upon earth in Cuba," and insisting that "America has a better right to interfere than has Ijeen put forward as a justification fai two out of every three wars in history." The Chronicle cays: "We hope Great Britain will not only go as far official ly as the furthest limits cf interna tional law- permits, but that public opinion will declare itself openly, un mistakably and in the teeth of all Europe, if necessary, as sympathizing heartily with the motives impelling America, at last to take a step so na tural and yet one she has eo long hesi tated to take. At the same time we wish it were possible to persuade Spain, even in the eleventh hour, that her honor and Cuba might be saved by the recognition of inevitable facts . To bid Cuba to be free would be a hard task, but It would 'be the safest and most dignified course." - The Daily News says editorially this morning: "While crediting the United States (with the generous error of giv ing the world a noble example of sac rifice for peace by unprepared ness for Var, we are glad to see that they have shown themselves wise in time."

Remarkable Proceeding in the House of Representative By Unanimous Tote it Places at the President's Disposal Fifty Million Dollars for 'at ooal Defense Representatives of all Parties and of all Sections Advocate the Measure SENATE. Washington, 'March 8. Today's ses sion of the senate was largely devo'ted to the consideration of the District of Columbia appropriation bilL After an extended discussion, the bill, con taining a provision for the reduction to about one -half of the present rates of telephone charges in the district, was passed. A bill appropriating- 52S8.0O0 for the relief of the book agents of the CMethddi'sr Episcopal church, south, was also passed. As it has already passed the house, the measure goes to the president for his signature. At 4:50 p. m. durlr-jg the discussion of the pending- bill, a message was re ceived from the house conveying- to the senate the bill appropriating $50,183,000 for national defense, just passed by the house. The bill was laid be-fore the senate and. on motion of Senator Al lison, of Iowa, referred to the commit tee on appropriations. The senate at 5:45 o'clock p. m., ad journed. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. In a spirit of patriotism, with elo quent words ringing- in their ear3, ev ery member of the house of representa tives today responded to the president's first call to meet the Spanish situation by casting- his vote for a bill placin'g in President McKinley's hands $30,000, 000 to be expendekl at his discretion for the national defense. Party lines were swept away and with an unanimous Voice congress voted its confidence in the administration. 'Many members who were paired with absent colleagues took the responsibility of breaking their pairs, an unprecedented thing in legis lative annals, in order that they might go on record in support of this vast appropriation to maintain the dignity and honor of their country. 'Speaker Reed, who as the presiding officer, sel dom votes except in case of a tie, had his name called and voted in his ca pacity 'as a representative. The scene of enthusiasm which greeted the an nouncement of the vcite-Jayes, 311, nays none has seldom been paralleled in the house. All day long it he galleries were Jamm ed with enthusiastic spectators, ap plauding 'the patriotism of 'the words of eloquence which were uttered by the members on the floor. The speech es Avere all brief. Although four hours were allowed for debate, so great wias the pressure for time that no one mem ber was given more than five minutes and most of them had to content them selves With a beggarly fraction of a minute. In! all, fiflty-iniine speeches were made. With one -acclaim members from the north and the south, the east and ;the west, the states and the territories, battles carred ve-rterans of the union and the confederate armies, all joined in procTaimiing their support of the country's chief magistrate in the face Of a possible foreign war. In ithe whole kiebate there was only a slight discordam't note caused by the speech of General 'Bingham, of Penn sylvania, who served with distinction unider Hancock. He spoke too con servatively for the aroused temper of the house and when he insisted that our relation's with Spain were as friend ly as they h'ald been, for years many of the members hissed him. While "al most every member who spoke depre cated the possibility of war, a wida divergence of opinion as to how close were hostilities manifested itself in the debate. The general contenti'cin by the majority, among them ithe leaders on both sides, -was that this appropriation by preparing for war would prove the surest guarantee of peace. Others in sisted that wars and rumors of wars would soon be heard and Mr. Mann, of Illinois, declared that war actually existed dn all save name. The -speeches which attracted most attention were those of Messrs. Can non, 'Henderson and Dolliver, on the republican side, and Messrs. Bailey and S'ayers, on the democratic side. Mr. Camncn, in opening the debate on the bill said that in the present critical state of affairs, the committee had 'deemed it wise -to appropriate this sum, placing its expenditure in the complete discretion of the president. He referred to the fact that the com mittee had been unanimous in its ac tion and had only changed the wording of the bill he introduced yesterday by making 'the appropnating available un til January 1, 1S99, instead cf June 30, 1S93. "WE HAVE THE MONEY TN THE TREASURY TO MEET THIS APPRO PRIATION IF IT IS EXPENDED," HE CONTINUED, 'AND THERE FORE, THERE IS NOT PRESENTED WITH THIS PROPOSITION ONE TO BORROW MONEY OR TO INCREASE TAXATION. TO WHICH ALMOST ANY OTHER NATION ON EARTH WOULD HAVE BEEN OBLIGED TO RESORT." (TREMENDOUS AP PLAUSE. J He insisted that this appropriation must not be construed into a threat. Nothing- was further from the minds of the wh reported it, he said. This appropriatictn was to be placed in the hand3 of a wise and patriotic execu tive to make proper preparations to main tain national honor, nothing- more. -Tt -is n'ot a war appropriation," said he emphatically. 1 say that ax my judgment, measuring- my words, that it is a peace measure. (Groat ap plause). The g-overoment of the United States would n'ot, if it could trench upon the rights of any najtkci on earth." (Reni-eWed applause.) Mr. Sayers. of Texas, the ranking member of the mintrity, followed. Mr. Cannon. His first statement, to the ef fect that in the presence of possible danger this appropriation had met with the hearty and unanimous endiotise ment of che appropriation committee, without regard to party, aroused the house to enthusiasm. He, too, declared that it could, not be construed as a threat. Tt was simply a wise and pa triotic precaution -the arming- of the executive with power to maintain our dignity after congress adjourn IMr. Living-aton, democrat, of Georgia, .supported the measure in a very vigor our speech. He said he took this posi tron becautee he 'believed that an emer gency existed, but he contended that if the administration had acteu as it should have done twelve months a"o in declaring a state of belligerency the present occasion for voting emerg-ency morrey would have been avoided. How ever, the democrats Who had darn ore! for action in the pa3t would not now put any obstacles in the way. They woutl vote fifty, or five hundred mil lions if necessary, only asking: that the president should move promptly and steadily in his efforts to protect Ameri can honor and dignity. Mr. Allen, democrat, of Mississippi, was next recognized. He did not make a humorous speech, but a patriotic ro-e". "I desire." he bearan. "to sav for the people I represenc arJd for the southern section of the country, for the entire country, that there was never a time when all were so ready to g-ive an administration all the money it may n?ed : pr:-rirve the honor, th ? d gnity .'"i general welfare cf th? coun try, i say nothing- cf fair t lay and just;c.. The people of the sou-th," he continued, "ask for no:hing more. They d tj.-z want t hurt anybody and are irtX uri.r. any ra'h action, but they are r-aly 'to honor any draft whether far nun or money to keep the flag ailoat." Mr. Fitzgerald, of Massachusetts, took occasion to refer to an al'eg-cd utterance of a Catholic prtest some time ago to the effect that if war came the sympathy and st-.pport cf th Cath olic church would be with Spain be cause it was a Catholic country. While, he said, he did not believe the priest had uttered such a secitim-ent, it had attracted wide attention and as a Catholic, he desired to repel it. Mr. Wheeler, democrat, of Alabama, enthusiastically supported the bill, aa did Mr. Grosvenor, republican, of Oh'.o. Mr. Grosvenor aroued the house to cheers by a glowing eulogy of the pres ident's patriotism. He also said: ' I have always felt that the actions of 1861 to 1S65 were poorly done, that the blood was ill-spilled if at the end of this long period we had not a united nation. Thank God, I have lived to see the hour come, the day dawn and universal loyalty the watch word of every man, woman and child." He concluded with the statement that he should not vote for this bill as 'a war measure. Mr. Hay, democrat, of Virginia, took advantage of the opportunity to refer In complimentary terms to the part that Consul General Dee is playing- in the present contingency. He eaid that General Dee was sustaining so 'we'll the good name of his state in performing his kluty as to win the enccmiums cf the entire nation (and that at such a time it was a genuine satisfaction to have such a mian as Fitzbugh Lee at such a post. The reference to General Lee called out loud applause, both from the floor and the galleries. Mr. Jones, democrat, of Virginia, said his only regret was that the bill did not carry twice as large an amount as it did. Mr. Binghaim, republican, Of Penn sylvania caused the first note of dis cordance that was heard. While supporting- the bill on general principles, he was avowedly out of sympathy with the commort 'interpretation of the meaning- of the ibffil, and as a conse quence he was vigorously hissed twice during the progress of his remarks. He began by referring- to the day's pro ceedings of the house as akin to the "metbolds of yellow dog journalism." He had no sympathy, he said, with the apparent tendency of the house and especially none with the evident dis position !tb sefize the opportunity for a display of jingoism that was by no means euifying. "I care nothing," he exclaimed, "for the bravery and cour age of Mr. Lee, of which we hear so much cn this floor," and he was pro ceeding to say that what we want in Genera)l Lee aft the present time is the exhibition of his best judgment and common semise, but the sentence was almost drowned in the shower of hisses with which the remark -was received. This evidence of disapproval came especially from the democratic side. It did not appear to 'disconcert Mr. Bing ham, who continued his remarks by a general disparagement of the war spirit. "I favor this appropriation," he said in conclusion, "but I condemn on ithis floor to1 day the utterances of any declaration that the relations of this country with iSpain are otherwise than they have been for years pa;': friendly, reasonable, international re lations." This utterance was received with hisses which were only suppress ed by a vigorous pounding of ft he speak er's gavel. In 'strong- contrast with the reception given to Mr. Bingham, was that of Mr. DoV.iver, republican, of Iowa, one cf the most eloquent members of the house. He said: "With a thousand relations cf direct national interest, not to speak of the larger and higher relitions cf humanity, the United States during- the course of the Cuban insurrection have consistently acted within a strict interpretation of the law of neutrality. In the midst cf nolxe and confusion the president of the' United States has stood unmoved by clamor in congress or out, steadily keeping the nation wifthin the accepted co-lie of .international duty, in the greH hope of peace, peace without the loss of liberty for Cuba, and peace without the loss cf respect for our selves. (Applause.) In that attitude it is gratifying 'for every one of us to kno-v that he has had the support Of the ' American people. It cannot en danger the cause of peace to have the world understand our solemn purpose of voiding, as far as possible, the in fernal horrors of war does not include any inclination to spare either blood or treasure in '.the protection of the na tional rights or in the discharge of na tional dutie-j." Mr. Elliot, democrat, of South Caro lina, said if war came. South Carolina would be as swift to aM in the protec tion of the flag as she wa3 one hundred years ago to aid in. making it. Mr. Linney, republican, of North Carolina, recalled the words of Dough lass that in time of peace we might be partisans, but in time of war we must be patriots. It was said this was a peace measure, but as an old confeder ate soldier, he said, he feared that at no distant day he would hear the booming of cannon. Mr. Walker, republican, of Virginia. ! who was a general in the confederate army, said his people were for peace if peace could lbe maintained with honor. j They knew the horrors of war and they shrank instinctively from its renewal. but they would do their duty if it came. Mr. Bailey, the democratic leader, supported the bill in a five minute speech. He said: "It ought to be un derstood in Spain and it ought to be understood in every country on the globe that while this great republic sincerely desires to be a.t peace it is preparing for war if war becomes in evitable. (Loud applause.) I fear that we have gone toofar! to escape the worst and I believe that we have gone further than would have been necessary if at the proper time we had granted the prayer of the Cuban patriots and had simply recognized their right to fight for the independence of their own country. (Loud applause.) Yet the time for that discussion has parsed. We muct deal with this question as it is. not as we would have it to and approacihing it in this broader srit, we stand ready to say to those who administer the government that what ever may Ve needed for the national honor and the national defense we ore read- to give ungrudgingly (Applause) Peace is desirable, but not so desirable that it be purchased at a sacrifice of national honor. Let us in this way adopt the motto of our fathers in the elder and better days of this republic and let us say to all the worM now as then: "We are ready to epnd mil lions for defense, Imt not one cent for tribute (Applause.) And let us advl another and nobler motto: 'We are for peace as long as it can be maintained with honor, but we are for honor if war is necessary to defend our flag or protect the rights of American citizens anywhere throughout the world. (Ap plause. Mr. Henderson, republican, of Iowa, said: "The lesson of this afternoon is a beautiful one for our country. But Mr. Speaker, there will le no war. That is my judgment. I do not believe that war is hanging over the American peo ple. In this republic our great aim should be for peace. No country on earth would seek to avoid war as this country does. No country on earth need fear war less than America. (Ap plause.) We all sympathize with the liberty-loving and lighting Cubans, but they are the citizens of another govern ment. So long as that question is be fore us, I follow the advices of Wash ington, recommerxiing that we mind strietly our own business. (Applause.) But if they touch the rights of this country or dare to lay unholy hamls upon her territory or our rights, then I become a fighting Quaker and will join the vigorous manhoxl of my young friend who spoke last. (Applause. This administration, president and cab inet, is as patriotic as any man on this floor, and I claim no more for it. (Ap plause.) This administration will "look before 1t leaps. This day's work and tomorrow's show that when the leap is taken this country will be back of it." (Applause.) The debate closed at 4:20 oVlx-k p.m. When the question was put on the passage of the bill, the whole house ; rose en masse in its favor, but Mr. Cannon asked for the ayes and noes. ! He did so he said, at the request of many members who desired that every member should go on record. Every member present voted for the bill. When the speaker announced the vote "311 ayes, noes none," an enthus iastic demonstration occurred. The house then at 4:55 o'clock p. m., adjourned.
