Mil; HITT'S ltKMAUKS.
The debate was opened by Mr. Ilitt.
The resolutions, he said, hud been con
sidered with great care by the commit
tee In many ineelinKs. passing through
several months and utter consultation
with many eminent Jurists. It was the
belief of Hie committee, that III the In
terest of peace, In til elnlerest of the
I tilled Stales, uml in the Interest of
tlinse who were sti-UKstliiiK in Cuba,
and with whom the committee sympa
thized, tin- resolutions presented were
II practical, conservative, anil effective
mode of action. The I 'lilted Slates
l-.oi eminent, he said, should not
only lie prepared to protect the
interests of American citizens, but
to Intervene if necessary. All
the resolutions hud been care
fully considered so that they could not,
they certainly ouiHit not, cause tiny
trouble between the I'nlted States and
any country that was not "seekine, to
pld; trouble with us."
That belligerency was a fact wus
proved. not by newspaper reports alone,
hut by the reports of 1'niteil States
contuis In Culm. The wur in Cuba was
not a retiiiidiiction of that which pre
vails! fr.iiii iscs to 1S7S. It was a far
arenter one. three times greater. It
luid '(one 1111i.ll it hud swept from one
end nf Hie Island to the other until to
day tile Soanisli authority wus not. in
fact, authorized over more than i.ne
third. probably not one fourth of the
4I.IIIIU square miles of the surfuce of the
island. , The Spanish minister at Wash
ington hud made 11 statement on the
tt.'d of I'Vluunry to the effect that ll'Y
ikiii troops had been sent lo Cuba by
Spain. Was not that war?
fil'KIMl.t.A WAItKAIti:.
Was that a police pulling down dis
turbances'.' Iteccntly the cuplsin gen
eral of Cuba had Issued two long
proclamations which had been read
with horror. It would not do, Mr. Ilitt
said, to say that the struggle In Culm
was jitlcrilla war merely. (lueiilla
warfare was a great and terrible In
strument in the genius of the Spanish
lace, line bundled and lifty thousand
of the li lit ML Soldiery of the vvorli hud
murciied lino Spain 11 lid attempted to
subdue a people' which could only re
sist by guerilla warfare; 111,. the
Spaniards destroyed that French army.
Was not that, Alt'. Hilt asked, war?
Should any Spaniard deny that It was?
There wus not a Spaniard who was not
proud of that history. Mr. Ilitt re
called Hie fact that the belligerency of
the southern confederacy had been
recognized by Spain a month before the
lirst battle of the war the battle of
Hull Ittin. The government of the I 'nlt
ed States should now, through Its state
department, ask that the people of
Cuba should have a government of their
own choice. Wherever American In
terests were imperilled, Mr. Ilitt 11c
clared In conclusion, marines should
be landed to protect them. The great
arm of the republic, he exclaimed, ought
In be ready always to follow Its people
and protect their Interests, their prop
city and their rights, anywhere in the
world. (Applause on tile lloor unil in
the galleries.)
THty OPPOSITION.
The debate on the opposite side of the
question was opened by Mr. Turner
IDcm., Cu.l. who commented 11 001, the
fuel that the committee on foreign uf
falrs had not seen lit to report the
fads on which its recojmnendjtlons
resled. There were no facts presented
ami a pamphlet from the state depart
ment contained only a dreary recoid
of mutual outrage. Incendiarism, and
assusslnul ion, "und yit," said he, "we
tile usked lo declare that a slate of
public war exists in the Island of Cuba."
As to the recognition of the soul hern
confederacy by Spain, Mr. Turner re
culled the fnijt tint the people of
the confederacy hi Id. nt the time, 11
region of country extending from the
mouth of the Potomac to the Itlo
itratole; nml that it had an army
against which the combined legions of
Caesar and the Phalanxes of Alexander
would have been utterly unavailing
(applause.)
He wus amazed that nn effort wits
made to do ill til Ir countrv what was
done In liarccloua yesterday to appial
to Hie mob spirit with tales of Span
ish honor und atrocity. He reminded
tile house that the Spanish government
had made the amend honorable to the
government f the I'nlted States for
what had occurred yesterday in Spiiin
and hud apologized for It. The Span
iards. Mr. Turner said, might be a high
blooded people, but they had within
their breasts the spirit of ancient chiv
alry. The stories told of Spanish out
rages In Cuba were utterly Incredible.
He did not believe In the UnsiH'Ukllble
outrages said to huve bi-en perpetrated
under lite orders of Ceneial Weyler
during the last Insurrection In Cuba,
besides, at that time, (lenernl Weyler
was not In command, but was u sub
ordinate olllcer. ,
At IMS p. m. the question was or
dered, and on a vlvu voce vote the
question of adopting the house reso
lutiona wus agreed to, the few iHsment-
Ing votes being drowned In the' chorus
or "yea." The yeas and nays were
(lien demanded, and the Cuban resolu

f eared from tbo Outbreak.
.Washington. March 2. The iPpanlfh
government took steps very promptly
to disavow and make amends to the
I'nlted States for the outbreak of mob
violence yesterday nt Hurcelona. This
action, and especially the fact that it
wus taken immediately ufter news of
the affair readied the Spanish govern
ment, without wulting for any sugges
tion from tlMvl'nited States, will tend
greatly to relieve the situation and pre
vent a serious outcome of the mob's
attack on our consulate.
The intelllgenceordisavowA' by Spain
reached Secretary of Stale olney last
night In a cable dispatch from Minister
Taylor tit Madrid, und was made public
today. The dispatch nays:
'Minister of stale lias just railed to

sulted liarccloua conciliate breaking
windows and offered complete repara
tion, lie Informed me that government
on lis own motion has taken every pre
caution to guard legation and my resi

IMPORTANT OKCISION.
New York. March 2. The chief topic?
of Interest discussed by the ollleors und
soldiers of tho Salvation army nt the
hcadiiutirters in West Fourteenth
street today wus the announcement of
Hulllngion 1 loot It and his wife that they
had decided to lead an independent
American religious movement on sim
iliar lines to those of the Salvaton
army.
It was evident that then? was consid
erable uneasiness on the part of those,
now ut the head of the army as to tho
following the Itisiths would have from
the ranks of the Salvationists. Tho
leading olllcers of the army claim to
lie in ubsolute Ignorance of liullington
) tooth's plans beyond what they huve
seen In the papers and they also claim
to believe that the number of deserters
from the nrmy will be very small.
The next topic of interest discussed
by the Salvationists was the reception
accorded temporary Commander F.va
Booth at the meeting yesterday after
noon in Newark, und that of last night
ut Cisipcr Vpion, this city.
The rank uml lib' of the nrhiy, from
expressions made today, consider hrr
reci'ptlon ns not cheerlnc for her suc
cess in this country.
Miss Booth today declined to see a
reporter on the ground that she wus too
busy to be Interviewed. She sent to
the reporter, however, the following
statement, b.v Colonel Nlcullt "1 con
sider that my reception, under the un
favorable! circumstances, supplied a
very strong proof of the strength of the
bonds of unity existing In the Salva
tion army. 1 was impressed by the fact
that the friends of the army went out
of their way to give me evidences ut
their friendliness and Kiipport.
"I was impressed with the Intelli
gence, Impartiality and consideration of
my audiences.
"My experiences huve been such that
I am led to believe that 1 ran love and
trust the people of America, and, if need
be, die for them."
Miss itooth declined to say anything
re(iirding the further course of her
brother, Halllngton Kooth, or the state
ment Issued to the public by him and
Ills wife regarding the circumstance
leading up to their retiring: from the
army.
IIISSIN'd RKI'OltTS.
Colonel Nlcoll, who accompanied Miss
Booth to both tho Newark und Cooper
i'nion meetings, nml who is alleged to
huve been hissed by the etldience as
well as Miss Booth when they attempt
ed to speak, said to the reporter today:
"The published reports of the hissing
have been exaggerated. There Is no
intention Imt that there was hissing for
both Miss Booth und myself, but it did
not by any means represent the senti
ments of the audience at either meet
ing. It came from only a few people,
whose main object, so far us I could de
termine, was to disturb the meetings.
"So fur us Miss Itooth was concerned,
before, she Unbilled speaking II was
evident tluiL she bud the sympathy of
her audience and she was cheered lit
the conclusion of her speeches."
Colonel Xieol said be hud 110 infor
mation us to tin? new movement of
Halllligton It.s. til.
Asked as to the transfer of the prop
erty of the army by Hallingtoii Booth
to the present temporary coinmundor.

be done tonight. I'liless there Is u,
change In the plans a lawyer, repre
senting the army, will call nt Balling

tonight, and the transfers will be made.
Temporary Commander Kvu Booth
