news ..ii tili- point is that the powers
? >f Europe cann.it -ig.ee. and that their

i'hare fully in. the atppiehensior; feit

Throughout the day unusual activity
was manifested at the foreign embas?
sies and legations representing the
gr. 111 powers of Eutppe. Thee aispie
sentative-s tire the British ambassador,
Sir Julian Pauncefote: the French am
bassa?i if. M. Ca nub n: the German am?
bassador, n:i- Von Ho'llenben: the Ital?
ian! chiii-ge d'affaires. Count Vinci, and
the Au'-'.i-ian minister, .Mr. Yen Heng
ei'mu'ller. The-,, officials were, kept ful?
ly aid-vised from their foreiign offices,
on.!. it was expected that a concnted
movemient would be made almost any
moment. About midday the British
ambassador went to the Piench .em.bas
'.-y acid conferred with LM. O.imbon on
the ? ituat.ii in. and shtrtly after Count
Vinci was at the British) embassy.
Again at 5 o'clock it was understood
that the French ambassador and Aus?
trian minfeter conferred with Sir Jul?
ian at the British emlba-.-sy. But. while
ceir.iferc-ne-es were thus going on and. ap?
prehension was keen ovtir an antici?
pated move, i: could mot lie- learned up
to a late 'hour that any. actual offer of
mi - .Hal ion hadl eventuated. It certainly
bad no; beeini made up tu. the i-arise of
office hou-ts at the state department.
The dm? amlMSteador, r>r. Von Hol

a.'t.:-v.-:-y pa-rticiiptti-nig in the confer?
ences tol.liiy. but thiere is reason! to be?
lieve he is kept fully advised on. the
-jr.timenus at Berlin concerning the
Fjpanisih Situation. Accompanying the
diplomatic cemmem't. was an under cur?
rent siuggestii tn that dievelopments in
Cuba were not unlocked for, and that
the I'.-eS lire of 'the powers and the
pope of Spi.in -might yet bring about an
armistice in which lioth Spanish troops
and insurgents would participate.
Vie wit d from the offic-iai standpoint
here, the time for that has gone by. and
there is little likelihood thai the insur?
gents c.tiuld .lie induced to lay. down
-.heir arm- even' for a time.
The Spanish -minister. Ser.or Polo y
Ret'na.be, Idid not take part in any of
the diploirroajtie confie'renoes, nor. did he
have occasion to visit the state depart?
ment duriimg the Ulay. If the negotia?

has been btYween Minister Woodiford
and the authorities at Madrid, and not
at Washirvgt, in. Tonight the Spanixb

"Xvw, us to autonomy. For some
reasoin iiniten-se feieling has l?eein aroused
in this country against the home rule
regime which Spain ha_- inaugurated in
Cuba. It seems to be overtctlked. in the
I passion i?f 'the moment, -that this hoane
rule has oeen the aspiration of the Cu
iiainis far years. It sefcmis to be over
i'ooked also that! President Cleveland
and 'Se. ivtary OIney urged a ffuJl meas
una raf home rule as the mean's liktely to
billn'g a-hout a termination Mf the Cuban
com'IMot. Spain has grunted that, grant?
ed it with the deepest s'lneereityt I do
not wish in. this to repe.it an ai-gu-miijnt
:or autonomy, .but simply to calM atten?
tion to it-be fact that plain justice dic?
tates tha't a system of home rule,
brciu'grvt forth after the de^ipe-1 solici?
tude and consideration', and ibased u.pi^n
what the 'Cubans themselves have ling
desiiiii^d and on what the United Stales
goverrhmen't deemed most iftttlr.g a- a
settlement, .should' mot lje lightly dis?
missed on reprtisv-mtatior.s of the pre.-s
or even on the representations ?of men
of sober judgment.
"As to 'the titconeemtradoc.-; I can. or.lly
say. that the decrees off concent.-a/ti/ ei
fedve been revoked and urgent sftips are
bimg taken for the- ivhef of those poor
enfafures. While there is no doubt of
I the misery of their comldStdbn, yet the
government is making th-.- mostt heroic
efforts to ail-jviute this Conditi. ,n. As
to the insurgents they have borne arms
aiga&nst Sptaiin for thiree yetirs. enliai'.lii.nig
terrible ioss of life' umll' money. And
yiet, believing these men to be misguid?
ed, the government has sought to re?
gain their confidence. Even today the
official gazette at Havana publishes
an appeal by this-' home government,
urging all thvse in aims, in'sutgents as
well as Spaniards-, to cease hostilities,
J.ftit haiKiis and unite in eele'brating the
restoration of peace. Tt tells them also
tha't if this home rule isi not perfect
thait 'it may !>e improved. Im shbrt, the
insurgents aire imvited to join the Span?
ish sonidifrs in laying down their arms.
Saying thiat a period of calm may be
given duning which just and wise eccim
els may prevail for the permanent beit
termemt of Cuba.
"You ask nur- as t? Uhe latest phases
of negdCatton. Of this T cannot s.peak
owing (o the :'est.ricti'ons off my posi
tton. I can only say that, despite the
animosities arou-ed. I believe that calm
coirs!-.* -will yet prevail and that the Uni?
ted 'States aind Spain will be able to
solve t'ris problem on a insis just and
honorable u:< a.1.1 concerned and without
renjur e to arms. I fully recognize; the
earnestness, pataiiotism and intense
vigor'of the American' people, but 1 ft e!
that it is not improper for me to srig
gest th'alt at such a profoundly soiemn
moment e?irne-1 nests and strongth
should be tempered with ' aim Justice
and a disposition to ?to?k at both sides

ax the conclusion of the speeches on

ed cotUaiMerauw of the sundry civil
:>iil, the only* important progress made
being the advptutin' in slightly modiL'flfcd
form of uhe eommmittee amendment sus?
pending the lores-try rksecvation proc?
lamation ot 1S?7.
The resolution offered by Mr. Turner,
of AVoshingtou, declaring 'war against
Spailn was laid ibe'oiie the Senate and
its author took the llt-Ur in advocacy of
iL
The speech was brieC but was given
themost careful attention, by both the
galUeries and; the Senate.
"Tile fateful question of peace or
war," he began, "beticui-gs in its taut an?
alysis to the Congress of the United
States. Believing this, 'I have no apol?
ogy for the resulutlttn 1 have offered. I
have the highest respect for the Pres?
ident and Ms office, but I have never
beUim one to "bend the knee, that thrift
might follow fawning." "
The time hold now arrived when some
expression ought to he made of the Uni?
ted! States in the whole matter. "With
adiplomatic representative at Madrid,"
dedlfcvred Mr. Turner, "complicating the
buisllness elf this country and defeating
his own frantic efforts .or peace at any
price; with a private secretary?the
aitor ego of the I*resiidient?circulating
rt'PPtals throughout the country for pe?
titions and memorials to control an un?
ruly and unpatriotic Congress; with
the n-.a-nher in -which the fate of our
?1 at'ileship was treated hy the ccumtry;
wOdh the frantic appeals for delay. It is
net surprisln-g that tihe AmiErican peo?
ple are outraged and have givem notice
tr.a't they propose to take thie whole
matter into their own hands."
fDtecusstim'g the Maine disaster, upon
which Mr. Turner practically based his
rpsech. .he di:ieianed that no reasonable
main could fail to realize that the bat?
tleship 'Wins destroyed th.n:iuigh the cow?
ardice anld perfidy of Spanish officials
wiho, by their action, made their gov?
ernment responsible for the vrime.
From the tiime of A'lva down to the
timte of Weyler, Mr. Turner decKred.
the record of Spain hiad been one of
murder arid assassination, brutality
?and1 cruelty, rapine and arson. "The
Spaniard of 1'nliO and the Spaniard of
1900 ate one and the same individual."
It had remained for the Maine disaster
to demonstrate that civilization had
passed the Spaniards by and that they
are r.ow as ferociicns. brutal, cunning
-nd treacherous as they ever were.
This government should act at once.
Mr. Turnier ires in favor of a declara?
tion of war, .but expressed himself in
.eadir.es.; ?:? do anything that would
?.'.Hive the Spaniards from the western
hemiisphere, and he expressed the hope
?hat as a Senator of the United States,
he would yeny scon have 01 opportuni
y to cast his vote for a. motiicn- that
.vouDd accomplish the result.
A brief but pointed statement of his
Pi.t.-ition on the Cuban question was
then made by Mr .Haoris. of K.vns- S' He
>ad pier-: red h.'s speech wh <?!? h. "
ti/.rr the manuscript.
After reviewing the pesit'or. of
r'n :-d S'ates and Spain with refe.en-e
to Culm he maintained that fer a long
time tihiis country had been fuiiy justi
tiled lire eaforcing her demands by armed
in'tervemtion.
Mr. Kenney, of Delaware, followed
with a strong appeal for the independ
eini:e of the Cub/an?. In1 conclusii-in, af
tur stating his reasons why the Spanish
goveninmienit should be held responsible
for the present eondititns of affairs,
Mr. Kenuteiyi said that for all these rea?
sons we ought to fight and for such
,-atises the United States should declare
wa r.
Mr. Chandler, of New Hampenhire,
foiil.iwed Air. Kenney and was listened
to with, grtat interest. 'Hie said:
-"The United States ought immedi?
ately to declare war against Spain and
>.v maintain tha war until the' people
of Cuba are made free from Spanish
starvation anld cruelty and the govern?
ment of the inland firmly establiished

sons for declaring war are apparent to
the world. Spain ha= Justly fi.<r6edted alii
