■4 BRKEZY IN CONGRESS. “TUE EVENING SPARTAN” R^KolutiouK Intrixtuced lieco^nlzing <'nha*js liid Hud DccluriRg Wat .\gniu«t Siialo. Washington, March 29—Inter est iu the Cuban situation—the in terest might almost be termed ex citement, so intense was it—reached a climax in the proceedings of the senate to-day. As on previous days of discussion of the Cuban question, thousands of peofle flocked to the capitol, only a few of whom, comparatively, could gain admission to the galleries. Within five minutes after the senate convened Mr. Allen, of Ne braska, introduced a resolution recognizing the independence of the Cuban republic. This was fol lowed by a resolution proposed by Mr. Rawlins, of Utah, declaring war against the kingdom of Spain. Mr. Roraker, of Ohio, then intro duced a resolution declaring for such intervention in the Cuban war as would bring about the in dependence of the Cubans'. Fol lowing this came a resolution by Mr f Frye of Maine demanding that Cuba be made free. The resolutions followed one another so rapidly as almost to stun the auditors, both senators and spectators. This was the condition when the vice-president recognized Mr, Ma son, of Illinois, for his announced speech on the president’s message, transmitting to congress the find ings of the Maine court of inquiry. Mr. Mason read his speech from manuscript, but it was delivered with all the vigor and fire of which he is capable. The intensity of the feeling of those in the galleries was elicited by his declaration that he was for war. Vice-president Hobart had diffi culty in suppressing the demon stration. After Mr. 'Mason’s speech, the senate passed 74 private pension bills and followed this order with eulogies on the late Senator Earle of South Carolina, one of the most remarkable of which was pro nounced by Mr Tillman, a long time political opponent of Genera Earle.

There fore, President McKinley will not use that pretext for declaring war, but will use the relief of the Cu- bans.” El Liberal adds: “We believe the Spanish government will never tolerate a foreign uation, in the guise of philanthropy, invading our territory, lor it would be fol lowed by the unanimous protest of the Spanish people.” The same paper then counsels Spain 'to prepare to repel any kind of intervention—to be uncompro mising, and to “accept nothing af fecting the dignity or sovereignty of Spain.” Beyond the fact that a few po licemen and a couple of civil guards stand outside the American legation, there is absolutely no sign in Madrid of the tension be tween Spain and America.
