TO EXPANSION
SKU'ATOR VEST STARTS HIS FIGHT
IX THE SENATE.
"I'he Miasourl Senator Culls Up HI*
Resolution Declaring It Uncon-
•tltatlonnl for This Government
to Acqulrc Foreign Territory Ex­
cept Under Certain Condition!*—
He Make* a Speccli In Support of
His. PoN)iUoii*-Mr. Morgan Opened
Up the Mciiragua Canal DiKeuH-
Kion AVItli a Long Speech.
Washington, Bcc. 13.—Discussion of
"two questions, each of interest and im
portance at tli is time, was begun by
the senate at its session yesterday.
Territorial expansion and the construc
tion of the Nicaragua canal occupied
the attention of the body during the
greater part of the afternoon. As
soon as the routine business had been
disposed of Mr. Vest called up his res
olution offered last week declaring it
to bo unconstitutional for this govern
ment to acquire foreign territory ex
cept for coaling stations or for some
like purpose unless its intention was to
confer statehood upon the territory
and citizenship upon its inhabitants.
Mr. Vest declared that it was a basic
principle of this governmeat that the
powers of the government were de
rived from the consent of tlie gov
erned, and maintained that the federal
government had no authority either in
morals or in the constitution to go be
yond that principle. He held that the
principle had been sustained by the
supreme court In various decisions and
that no public man of prominence and
no recognized! tribunal had ever been
reckless enough to controvert it. Mr.
Piatt of Connecticut took issue with
Mr. Vest and announced that at some
convenient time in the near future he
would offer some remarks upon the
resolution, in the course of which he
would endeavor to show that the Mis
souri senator was wrong in his inter
pretation of the constitution and inac
curate in his deductions from the law.
Mr. Morgan opened the debate on the
canal bill with a three-hour appeal for
action at this session. The whole
country he said would bo disappointed
if cohgrcss did not act. He was will
ing to take any measure which would
result in the building of the canal. In
the course of his remarks he agreed to
accept an amendment specifically ex
cepting the canal from neutrality with
regard to any country with which the
United States might be at war.
In the House.
The house spent the larger part of
the day on District of Columbia busi
ness. The bill to relieve the condition
of American seamen .was taken up but
nothing was accomplished.
URGED BY IRELAND.
St. Paul Prelate Working for the
Annexation of Cnba.
Chicago, Pec. 14. A special from
Washington to the Times-Herald
says: Pope Leo is said to be working
for the annexation of Cuba to the
United States. Archbishop Ireland is
urging annexation, and it is believed
he is voicing the sentiment of the pope.
The St. Paul prelate has been in
Washington several days, and he has
talked with a number of influential
senators and representatives on the
subject. He claims that he speaks for
the majority of Cubans, who want a
stable government that will perro't the
development of the resources of the
island in peace. He represents the
Cubans of property as being in dread
of the frequent involutions peculiar to
the republics of Latin America. This
is a delicate subject, about wliicli the
archbishop naturally refuses to talk
freely for publication, but Roman
Catholics close to him understand that
he has the sanction of the pope in this
propaganda.
TWO SOLDIERS KILLED.
Lawlessness Among the Troops At
Huntsville, Ala.
Hnntsville. Ala., Dec. 14. Henry
Nelligan, cook, and George W. Beverly,
bugler, both of Company G, First

pistol and told him to standi back. Nel
ligan's brother, H. F. Nelligan, seeing
Beverly with a pistol in his hand,
killed him with a Springfield rifle.
Beverly's brother, Roy, emerged from
his tent at. this time and saw his broth
er fall. Thinking he had been killed
by Oook KeUigwn, he shot the cook
dead. Private Porter Weisnant, Troop
D, Teiitli cavalry, was found with a
terrible bullet, wound in the throat on
West Holmes street. He spoke only a
few words after he was found. He
stated he had been held up by two

Restored With liilll-
Havana, Dec. 14.—For twelve hours
Havana has undergone a reign of ter
ror. The pent-up passions of the dis
orderly Spanish soldiers have at last
broken out in full fury, resulting in a
scene of bloodshed and horror. The
town is panic-stricken. The populace,
fearing that the work of slaughter has
only begun and that the scenes enacted
are but the prelude to a general out
break, tremble in their homes. The
foreign residents are fleeing from the
hotels and lodgings, fearing murder
and pillage, all the Spanish officers in
rown being unable to grant protec
tion. Three killed and twenty-one
wounded, many of their, seriously in
jured and not likely to live, is the rec
ord of the outbreak.
Havana, Dec. 14.—After the news of
(Jen. Garcia's death spread through
Havana early Sunday evening the Cu
bans wished to have all the places of
amusement closed. They succeeded in
closing two places frequented by Cu
bans, but the management of the
Tacon theater, where there were many
Spanish officers among the audience,
refused to close the house. Thereupon
Allegretto, a former captain of insur
gent troops, got into an excited argu
ments with the manager of the theater
and Allegrette was escorted to the
sidewalk by the police on duty. He
then got into a =i jled argument with
a Spanish c».5ic»?r, vlio struck him
across the face with the flat of his
sword. There was a coins'ion between
the Cubans and the Spanish military
men. more blows were struck on both
sides, and many persons from the
cafes and parks cheered for Spain and
brought crowds of people from the
adjacent streets and squares. Sud
denly a shot was fired, whether by a
Cuban or Spaniard, intentionally or ac
cidentally, cannot be said, and the Cu
bans retreated into the Hotel Inglater
ra. More
Shots Were Fired
on both sides, and Arturo Tiset, a
French citizen, born in Havana, was
shot and seriously wounded while sit
ting at a table. More shots were fired
and Cubans ran through the hotel of
fice and made their way upstairs.
Jesus Sotolongo, a Cuban, fell wound
ed on the stairs and another wounded
man broke into the room occupied by
Lieut. Fitzhugh Lee, son of the famous
general and former consul general
here, demanding protection. Gen.
Greene and sevferal members of his
staff, who had been out on the balcony
watching the crowd, heard the uproar
in the hotel and went into the corridor.
So soon as the Spanish officers saw
Geu. Greene, who was in uniform,
fhey stopped' the pursuit of the Cu
bans, salute*1, and retired. In th«
meantime Estaquio Lemus had been
fatally wounded in tb.^ street and
Pedro Blesa and F^ro .riminiez had
been killed. Shortly werward the
Spanish guarus on daty warmed in
from the neighboring streets and order
was restored.
WILL HASTEN MATTERS.
Disturbances Will Cause Some Ex
pedition in the Matter of Sending
Troops.
Washington, Dec. 14. A long dis
patch giving an account of the trouble
between the Spaniards and Cubans at
Havana was received late last night
at the
Avar
department. Adjt. Gen.
Corbin decline to make its contents
public but said that it agreed sub
stantially with the press reports of the
fight. A copy of the dispatch was
sent to the White House where it
formed the subject of a consultation
between the president and Secretary
Alger. The officials here realize that
as long as any Spanish soldiers remain
in Havana difficulties between them
and the Cubans are likely to occur.
Spaniards, however, are yet in control,
the United States troops being there
under -suffranee and the Spaniards
must be held responsible for anything
that happens during their occupancy.
The occurrences, however, will hasten
the dispatch by this government of
troops, and it is understood measures
in this direction are being pushed.
