International law, as laid down by the accepted writers, requires that a peo ple, in order to have their belligerency scknowledged, must first set up the standard of a revolution. That has baen dona in Cuba. They must for a certain length of 'time maintain a territory against the enemy. That has been done la Cuba for two years and a half.

War la In Cuba; war has been maintained In Cuba for two years and a half; and to day Spain Is no nearer the subjugatlpn of Ue revolutionists than she was at the moment of the first engagement. What then ? All the conditions of international law are met. That being the case, 1 state aa an absolute and un answerable proposltloa that this gov ernment has the right to recognize the belligerency of the revolutionists, and in availing itself of that right It does not offer any affront under the law of nations to the government of Spain. Read wbat the International law write is have said upon this subject. I have not the time, nor la it my pur pose today, to present them In detail to the Senate, but I know what the principle# are.

I hope that its bloody shadow may never fall athwart our sky again. War is a terrible thing, and yet no ad vance toward liberty has ever been made except by the bloody pathway of war. War in defense of human liberty and human right is God’s thunder storm ; it clears the air for humanity's advance. Let us have no talk of war. It is nonsealcal. It is Interjected la Ihia debate for tba mere purpose of delay- leg, of procrasllaatlog, of defeating action In this importeat matter.

[Ap plause In the jgallerlea.] FOR ERR SAKE. l / ■ ; It was nearly three o’clock in the morning when Norah’s carriage drove up to the door of the house in South Audley street. The footman rang the bell and, alighting, she entered the halt, running quickly up-stalrs to the drawing room. Her tall figure wae still slight and girlish ; her olue eves wore a look of elation; for her beauty had never aroused greater admiration, her suc- ceos had oaver been more triumphant than that avaniag.

Oelv twaaty-threa, she bad blddaa good-bye to Ibe world; Instead of Ihouaaads a year, her income ooaefsted of but a few hundreds, and these not her own. Yol she was not entirely unhappy. Com palled by her altered circum stances to devote hereelf to the child, he soon afforded a new interest in her life. She watched hts developing in telligence, and listened for his earliest lisping utterances. The day he first stood alone was a red-letter day. Her father became Eric’s guide, philosopher and friend; and later was fought a battle royal to decide who should teach him to read. Major Armistead took his defeat so much to heart thatNorah magnanimously gave way, and woulu sit always workIng, sometimes laugh ing, at others half crying, to observe the impatient man's patience. Ho for a time Norah’s life went smoothly on. At first the change was appalling ; she missed the excitement, the admiration, to which she had be come accustomed since her marriage She had ant a frlaad left, aad when people cal lad upoe her, ia Igaoraaee of bar history, she was always “not at borne.” Wbea Erie was more ibaa commonly wtecum#.

So with Digby. He has fallen low, very low ; hi may be Incurable, but Is that any reason why I should not make the effort ?’’ Major Armistead leaned forward and kisaed her forehead. For his own part, he sincerely hoped she would never see her husband again: and yet be no more liked to interfere than he would have done with her performance of some religious rite in which he could not participate. For several days Norab walked to the cemetery at the same hour, hut it was not till a few days before Christ mas that she saw Digby again. As bt- stood lost in thought at the foot of toe grave she drew near. “ Digby !*’ He started like a maa whose nerves strength is sapped. * “ Norab r PA V.

Has anyone challenged it? WEg, Mr. President, let me read to you tha dispatch <o the newspaper of this morning coming from Spaia. the utterance of one of the greatest statesmen : Maohid. May IS. At a meet in* of the Liberal aenatoni and dsi>uUei u> day lienor Hagana, former ore mit' r. made an Importeut speech, in the course of which be said: “We have SUO.UUU troops In Cuba"— And no war ! No war, with 200,000 troops gathered from the farms and the hillsides of Spain, the last desperate levy of the Spanish authority upon the youth of that land. Two hundred thousand troopis'ln Cuba, and no war ! Cuba is pacified ; no trouble ; the day for action by the United States of America has passed away ! Only 200,- 000 Spanish troops in that little Is land !— ** but we sre not even masters of the terri tory trodden by our soldiers." I do not take the newspaper corres pondence ; I do not take the unverified statements from interested parlies; I take the public declaration made by the former premlar of Spain on yester day to the Spanish people in the capi tal of that kingdom : Bur w* se* oM ssao masters of I#* t*m l » our a»uii*s* T%r pWSais tosm.sf Wa ka*t war la < aba tegmsa 1 km aei aa tea auteur! ty of I aa*ea tee] 4 a letter learn aaa • te Is * argues raaa* osa.S aw* War hiiasiiim. It will te from *o%s oteer * have II will be because of some oteer reaens teaa aay prubable or aatlclpaled tfiumph of the bpaaisb authorities over ton revoiutiooista Why should we not act now ? It la tea abiding coorlctloa of the American people, fortified bv tha solemn facts of the case, teat if peace ever comes to Cuba it will 00me under the Cuban flag, under tha government of Its own people, as a part of that grand result which will drive the last claimant of despotic , authority in America to the other side of the At lantic Ocean. I am not asking or urging , interven tion at the present time. The grounds are not properly laid. We can not in tervene in Cuba now. We can not carry out the ultimate declaration of the Republican party now. We must first lay the foundation, and that founda tion can only be laid by a declaration on the part of the proper power in the United States according belligerent rights to the Cuban revolutionists. In the President of tbe United States under tbe constitution is'vested the executive power, and when you run this question down, it will be found that the contention of tbe opposition rests finally and alone upon tbe broad proposition tbat the recognition of bel-' llgereat rights or tbe iadepeodence of a neighboring people is a mere execu tive act. I deny it.

Tbat same ray of suoabine, itj may be, shoo# through tbe window of a little cottage ia tba aorthern lead, upon the sleeping face of a devoted I wife and the curly head of the iohooent babe tbat lay at reel upon her holy breast. ’ The sun came over the sea and fell upon the brow of this American citi zen condemned to die. The order was given, “ Ready ! Aim !” The American consul, seeing that no other effort would aval', drew from his bosom a silken flag of our own free land, and, springing forward, wrapped itsglorious folds around this man condemned to die, and turning to the soldiery of Spain erted out, “Shoot if you dare ; but if you shoot that man, you shoot the flag of the greatest nation of the earth !" AndThe lag saved him. Mr. President, that story may have been but the merest fancy of a roman cer’s brain, but I have loved to believe it true. I have loved to believe that the flag of my couhtry would protect it* citizens on land and sea the wide world rouod.

It bad fallen upon her like a bolt out of tbe blue sky, without a warning sign, at the moment of her supreme success. Henceforth ehe would be knows only as tha wife of a defaulting solicitor. Her love seemed to be crushod, togeth er with her hopes. Long after he had gone, while the child lay sleeping on theohalr, Nor"-' stood in the "bmoky room, half diz . by ih<- r.c cl d'« closure, till the d<*y broke, ana a new era in her life began.

Having stayed until he went away, •he also left the cemetery, but on reaching home said nothing to her father. All the rest of the afternoon- she busied herself in various wsyn, her father glancing at her from time to time, wondering what transformed and illpmined her face. ^ Despite her troubles, she was a beautiful woman. Her figure had developed, and albeit sad and grave, her face had retained all its former charm. To-night it seemed to Major Armistead like the face of an angel. At eight o’clock the postman brought a letter, but when be would have 'broken the seal, sbe oame to his chaii^. resting a hand on his arm. ^ “•From the hospital, Norah.’’ “Father,” ehe said, “I—I have thought of another way.” , “ Well, let us see ’’ ’j I eaw Digby teia moraing." she faltered M Ah.
