MR. SHERMAN DENOUNCES SPAIN.
The Veteran Ohio Senator Bitterly Ar
raigns Governor General Weyler and
His Methods Resolutions Urging
Recognition Passed.
Wasiiinqtos, Feb. 29. By tho ovor
wholmlng votoof 01 to 0 tlio sennto yester
day adopted iv concurrent resolution fnv
orablo to Cul);n bollijrcroncy nnd tndc
pendenco. Tho resolutions adopted nro
as follows:
Resolved, by tho scnato (tho houso of
veprosontntlves concurrltiR), that In tho
vplnlon of congress n condition of wnr ex
ists between tho government of Spain and
tho government proclaimed nnd for soino
tlmo nmlntaluod by forco of arms by tho
peoplo of Cuba; and that tho United
States of America should malntnln n strict
neutrality between tho contending pow
ers, nccordlng to each all tho rights of bel
ligerents In tho ports and territory of tho
United States.
Resolved, That tho friendly ofTtcoi of
tho United Stntes should bo offered by tho
president to tho Spanish government for
tlio recognition of tho lndopondonco of
Cuba.
'llio voto on tho commlttco and tho Cam
eron resolutions resulted 01 yeas to 0 nays.
Tho senators who voted In tho nogatlvo
wero Cnffcry, Chilton, George, Halo, Mor
rill and Wetmoro.
When tho result wns announced tho
densely packed galleries broko Into long
continued applauso, which tho vlco presi
dent checked with difficulty. Tho result
was reached after n day of fervid speeches
which at times aroused tlio crowd of spec
tators toonthuslastledemonstratlons. Tho
keen publlo Interest in tho subject was
evinced by the presence of tho lnrgest
crowd since congress assembled. Tho rep-'
rcsontatlvos of foreign powers wero num
erously In attendance, tho occupants of
tho diplomatic gallery Including Ministers
Mcndouca of Brazil, Hatch of Hawuit,
Lozzo-Arriogn of Guatemala, Kcnglfo of
Colombia and Baron Von Kettler of tho
Gorman ombassy. Sonor Dupuy do
Louie, tho Spanish minister, was not pres
ent, but two of tho attaches of tho Spanish
legation occupied scats with tho other dip
lomats. Tho mnln featuro of tho debate was tho
speech of Senator Sherman, chairman of
tlio commlttco on foreign relations. As a
rulo tho votoran senntor from Ohio spenks
with resorvo and conservatism, so that it
was tho moro surprising when honrrnigncd
Spain and her govornor general, Woylcr,
in tho most merciless and scnthlng lan
guage. Mr. Sherman rend specific in
Btancos In which Woylor was pictured as
stripping young girl captives and making
them danco before tho Spanish troops.
Other speeches wero mado by Messrs.
Lindsay, Lodge, Caffory and Allen. Tlio
voting begun at 4 o'clock, nccordlng to
ngreeiuent. It was simplified by tho with
drawal of conflicting amendments, so that
only throo votes woro necessary. Tho first
disposed of tlio resolution of Mr. wnito,
of California, limiting tho action of con
gross to a request on tho prcsidont to
grant holllgorency. This wns tabled by a
voto of 57 to 13. Tlio araendmont of Mr.
Ailon, directing iho president to rccog
nizo tho Cuban republlo as independent,
met like dofeat, 53 to 17. Then camo tho
flnnl vote, as abovo recorded.
Thero was an ontliuslastlo demonstra
tion in tho houso when Secretary Cox, of
tho sennto, shortly beforo 5 o'clock yester
day afternoon appeared and announced
thopassagoby tho upper branch of con
gress of tho Cuban resolutions, but tho
matter did not como up in any other form
during tho day. After encountering tho
unexpected opposition of Mr. lloutello on
Thursday tho houso lcadors concluded to
postpono taking up tho resolutions until
tho legislative bill was disposed of.
Tho whoio day in tlio houso wns spent
In tho consideration of tlio legislative ap
propriation bilt, and consldornblo progress
was mado. An ugroemcut was reached
whoroby tho bill to change tlio compensa
tion of United Stntos attorneys and mar
shals from tho fco to tho salary system is
to bo offered us an amendment to tills bill.
An nmoudment ollored by Mr. Tnwney,
of Minnesota, to provide that tho mem
bers shall huvo 100 per mouth for clerk
hire throughout tho year, instead of dur
ing tho sessions only, ns is now tho case,
provoked tho charge that it was a "salary
grab." Mr. I'uyuo, who was in tho chair,
ruled it out on n point of ordor. Au at
tempt was mado to overrule tho chair, but
ho was sustained by a voto of 109 to .!!).
Tho provision for senators' clerks was then
stricken out, with tho avowed intention
of effecting an "equltublo adjustment"
with tho senate later.
To l'ut ail Kml to Strike.

Result of the Coroner's Inquest Held
Last NlRht.
VERDICT PROMPTLY RENDERED I
There Were Four Eye Witnesses to tho
Foul Deed and One Says ho Saw tho
Murderer Steal Up Behind His
Victim Before Shooting.
Deputy Coroner Mauley and a jury com
posed of Hon. B. J. Monaghan, foreman,
James J. Powell, John Scanlan, John Mauley,
John D.tudo and 1-. J. lircnnan last night
held an inquest in tho caso of John H.
Scliwindt, who was shot on Main street on
tho 17th Inst, by Theodore Eisenhower, and
died on the 20th Inst.
Tho inquest was a brief ono and no now
facts in connection with the murder were
brought out. Dr. J. C. Church, who was tho
physician in attendance, testified that tho
victim died from a gunshot wound in tho
back at about tlio tenth vertebra in the
dorsal region. Patrick 11. Monaghan camo
out of tho mines with and was at Schwindt's
side when tho flatter was shot. Mr. Mona
ghan did not see Eisenhower beforo tho
shooting. Harry W. Smith and Georco M.
lioyor testified to tho ehaso and capture of
mo murucrer ny themselves. Smith also
saw tho shooting. Ho did not sco Eiscnhowor
beforo it occurred. John A. Lewis, of West
Cherry street, testified that lie saw
Eisenhower steal up behind Scliwindt
and Monaghan. When Eisenhower got
close bemud Scliwindt Lewis saw
tlio gleam of a revolver barrel and tlio
next instant a shot was fired. Scliwindt
dropped almost instantly. Monaghan testi-
lit-d that Scliwindt said as ho fell, "I am
shot. Ho has shot tho wrong man." Ed
ward McAtce, gateman at tho railroad cross
ing on Main street, was unable to attend the
inquest, but ill a written statement testified
that ho saw tho shooting. When close to
Scliwindt afterwards ho heard tho latter say.
My God, I am shot. I am paralyzed. Send
for a doctor,"
Iho jury promptly formulated tho fol
lowing verdict : "That tho deceased died
from a gunshot wound received ut tho hands
of 1 ucodoro Eisenhower."
