Senator Poraker Said the Gov ernment Has Recognized the Cuban Republic. IT CREATED A SENSATION. The House Passed a Bill Empowerine the President to Call For Volunteers and Providing For Their Organ ization For Three Years. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, April 20. During the five hours of discussion in the Sen ate this afternoon of its recent action upon the Uuban resolutions, :in the course of which several extended speeches were made by Senators who voted against the conference report upon the resolutions, only one new point was developed. That was made by Senator Foraker, Ohio, in the course of a brief statement concerning the recognition of the Cuban Re public's independence. He said: "I think quickly, speedily, possibly even now, on the very day when the ulti matum has been sent to Spam, pur suant to the resolutions that passed here, this government has practically recognized the Republic of Cuba, and 1 think-possibly it is true we will all know by to-morrow that the govern ment is to-day being omcially dealt with by the representatives of this government, as it should be." . This utterance, cominsr from a mem ber of the Foreign Relations Commit tee, created a profound sensation among Senators. Being pressed for the source of his information Senator Foraker replied that his information was positive but not othcial. tattle progress was made with the Sundry Civil bill upon which the Cu ban discussion was hung, but in the last minutes cf the session an amend ment was agreed to providing for the payment to Great Britain of the Beh ring sea award, amounting to $473,151. Consideration of the Sundry Uivil Appropriation bill, was resumed and Senator Cockrell, Democrat, of Mis souri, continued his speech on the Cuban question, begun yesterday. The Cuban Republic Senator Foraker, of Ohio, called at tention to statements made in the Sen tae two vears ago by the present Secre tarv of Sfate, Mr. . Sherman, to the effect that the Cuban republic had an established form of government, ad ministered by officials Of high stand ing, character-and ability. He held, therefore, that if these statements were true two years ago their truth had been strongly accentuated since that time, and that it was further entirely proper for the United States to recog nize the government of the Cubans. in discussiner tue diplomatic nego tiations between this country and Spain. Senator Foraker read from a newspaper clipping what was said to oe a semi-omciai statement, in eneci nr r i . a a tt a that in a formal dispatch sent by the President to the Madrid government the attorney general had changed the term "independent government" to ' 'stable government, " the change being made because "stable" was the word of diplomacy to be employed in the circumstances. When Minister Wood ford had inauired what construction was to be placed upon the word stable" the President nad replied that it must be regarded as mearang in dependent." Mr. Woodford had failed to transmit the President's meaning to the Spanish government, fearing that such a statement made omcially might complicate future negotiations. Sen ator Foraker said that seemed to De ine exnlanation whv the independence of the Cubans had not been officially de manded bv the President. Senator Allison. KepuDiican, oi Iowa, interrupted to say that he did not think there was any doubt that the corresnondence with Spain would show that the President had actually demanded the independence of the Cubans. Senator Teller then concluded his sneech. holdiner it to be the duty of all to stand by the country rather than to seek Dolitical advantage. Senator Thurston. Republican, of Nebraska, closed the discussion by savinc that at 11 :24 to-dav when the President sierned the Cuban resolu tions sent to him by Congress the .time for nartv discussion had ended. After nassincr the amendment to the civil bill providing for the payment of the Bering sea award to Great Britain, the. Senate, at 5:35 P.M., went into executive session and soon afterward adjourned. -House of Representatives. The House to-dav passed as an emercencv war measure the hill em noweriner the President to call out the volunteer forces and providing for thp.ir ore-anization. Both the "Presi dent and Secretary Alger had urged the imperative necessity of the passage nf the bill to-dav and Chairman Hull of the. Military committee- drove it through under whip and spur. The bill was drafted at the War Depart ment, introduced in the House yester day and considered, and reported by the committee to-day. No such ex pedition could have been possible ex cept under the stress of war pressure. The bill is permanent in its character. There was a tremendous dwhion stration in the House immediately after the reading of the journal when iViajOr rruueu, liic a rcamcui o wawwia tive clerk, announced the President's approval of the Cuban resolutions. The House then went into com mittee of the whole to consider the bill authorizing the President to call for volunteers Mr. Hull explained that the commit tee had unanimously agreed that past j precedents should be followed and the ! Governors of States should retain the j power to appoint all regimental oth, , cers. The joint resolution passed by?j Congress authorizing the President to employ the militia lorce oi me United States, he said, would not meet the present situation. Hefelt author ized to say that if we were to fight this war it would be with the volunteer and not the militia forces. Mr. Hull read the following tele gram he received from Secretary Alger this' morning: "I hope you will introduce your bill this morning. Time is now very valuable. On the whole, I am inclined to think that re quiring commissions to be signed by the President for the militia would be cause for action and opposition by the Governors, who naturally might feel that this was taking some of their power from them. Can you consist ently change that, and hasten its pass age?" . T Mr. Johnson, Republican, of In diana, at this point attempted to secure time to address the House regarding his attitude on the general situation. If war was to come, he said, he was ready to support any measure to prose cute it to a successful conclusion. But before hostilities began he thought the House should give him a chance to speak. The request met with much opposition and was refused. Mr. Handy, Democrat, of Delaware, opposed the bill because it was pro posed to pass it as an emergency meas ure and yet it was to be a permanent enactment. A question arose as to whether un der the provisions of the bill addi tional legislation would not be neces sary to permit the President, to call out volunteers. To meet this defect Mr. Lacey offered an amendment au thorizing the President to j raise volun teers when Congress shall have au thorized him to do so or when he has been authorized "to call into the ac tual service of the United States, the militia of the several States." The Cuban resolutions contain, the latter authorization. The amendment was adopted. Mr. McMillin, Democrat, Tennes see, moved to reduce the term of en listment of the volunteer forces from three years as provided in' the bill to one year. He thought that many of the young men of the country would not be willing to enlist for three years. Mr. null replied that it was not ex pected that the war would be a long one unless Spain resorted to guerilla warfare, but he did not believe a three years term would terrorize the young men. The amendment was defeated. Mr. Talbert of South Carolina, Dem ocrat, warned the House that war with Spain was not a light thing. Gentle- i .1 . i . j i i i mow wuo tnougni it, wouia oe ove- m tew days would be sadly disap pointed, in his opinion. "I remember at tb opening of the last war," said he, "men at the North and Soutlrbe- lieved it would not last thirty days. 1 heard a man agree to drink all the blood that was spilled. Every country in Europe may be drawn into theen counter before we get through with Spain." ".'L- Mr. .Little, Democrat. Arkansas, of fered an amendment, which was agreed u, providing mai ine xnaian territory shall furnish its quota. Mr. Liinney, Kepubhcau, Morth Uar- olina, offered an amendment provid ing- that nothing in the bill should be construed to prevent companies and regiments from selecting their own officers. The power to select officers to fill vacancies, he said, would be an incentive to enlistment. The tyran nous discipline of officers, he said, was more dreaded by soldiers than the bul lets and bayonets of the enemy. Mr. (jfrosvenor, Kepublican.oi Ohio, vigorously opposed the amendment. Its adoption, he said, would sow a seed of sin that would grow up to death. The Liinney amendment was de feated. An amendment was adopted provid ing for a chaplain for each regiment. Section 13 was amended so as to pro vide that the Governors of ; the States, instead of the President, might appoint officers of the regular army in the grades of field officers in the volun teer arm, such appointments to depend upon the consent of the President. The bill was passed without division, and at 5.15 the House adjourned. The Sore La Grippe u re. There is no suffering from this dread ful malady, if you will only get the right remedy.

Much By Telegraph to the Moraine Star. Key West, Fla.. April 20. The Cuban population literally went wild to-night, having apparently reserved its enthusiasm for an imposing demon stration. The procession marched through the principal streets of the town led by a Drassband, which took particular care to play only American national airs. The rear of the procession was brought up by the better class of Cuban residents in carriages. The parade serenaded Commandant Forsythe at his home fronting the harbor, and the Americans at the principal hotels. There were "vivas" and cheers for Andrew Jackson. General Grant and President McKinley. After the demonstration an affray occurred which shows that considerable feeline exists against the colored troops or rather their presence here Sersreant Williams, of company G. 25th infantry, was with a brother soldier examining a revolver at street corner when a policeman asked him to out the weapon away. According to the story of the police sergeant, Williams refused and chal lensred the policeman to compel him The policeman drew his revolver but the weapon missed fire. Meanwhile the soldier blazed away. He was over powered before any one was hurt During the struggle to overcome the neero several white men struck him in the face. Williams was locked up at the city hall. The police say Col. Daggett had issued an order forbiddiner the troops to carry side-arms. The escapade has raised feeling to a high pitch,; and race trouble is feared. Twentv minutes after Williams' ar rest twentv-five soldiers of the 25th In f antry, armed with rifles and fixed bay onets, surrounded the ? residence j of Sheriff Knight and demanded j the immediate release of his! prisoner, i The sheriff was alone and ill. The ne i gro troops gave him five minutes to j comply with their demand and he de- cided that discretion was the better part I of valor and gave up his man. Colonel Daggett, when the latter feature of the affair was brought to his j attention, said he would investigate it i thorouffhlv and. if the report were true, would discipline verely. every man se- wiien Travelling;, Whetae'r" on pleasure bent or business, take on every trip a bottle of Syrup of p. -j most pleaSantly and effc'tuall y on the kidneys, liver and , , eyentimr fevers, headaches and other forms of sickness.

By Telegraph to the Morning Star, New York, April 20. There was a sharp bulge in the cotton market at the opening this morning with the bear crowd in complete rout. Trading was on a tremendous scale for a time and generally active through the en tire session. The better feeling re sulted directly from an unexpected rise in both spot cotton and futures in the English market and a further sharp rise in spot cotton at all south ern markets. Simultaneous trades in the pit at the opening showed a differ ence of from 3 to 5 points with ope rators very excited. Prices jumped up 18 points on the near months owing to heavy buying for Liverpool ac count and by luckless bears. The later options snowed a gain of 9 to 15 points with the market irregular. Transactions on the call alone reached the unusual total of 40,000 bales, while dealings for the first hour were 117, 000 bales. News from nearly all points favored the bull crowd who were jubilant and for a time refused to take the handsome profits in sight. Later, evidences of liquidation of Liverpool started realizing and a sharp reaction took place. At no time however did the market show the slightest signs of weakness. In the afternoon the mar ket was very feverish with the close firm at a net gain of 16 to 18 points. Total sales 327,300. New York, April 20. Cotton was quiet; middling 6 7-16c. PRODUCE MARKETS. 1.
