Senators united in ithe i necessity for protecting the safety of General Lee and the other Americani citizens in Cu ba. . iMany,' however, were Inclined to criticise because our citizens had not (been removed here'tctfore, while others declared protection' for them1 should have ibeen senit to Havana. "It is a humiliating; spectacle," j said Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, j" that with our fleet within ninety miles of Havana, we are not able to protect j our people iik that port." "That request," said Senator Proctor,- "merely illustrates the character of 'the people', we are deal ing with in this matter." j , ; I . j The Int ense Cuban sympathizers on both sides of the senate chamber were free In the expression of opinion that there was sOirte motive j for "the delay that jdid not appear onj rthe surface. They did not question the i good faith of tihe representation -as to the; danger of Americans in Cuba, j but they agreed that there must have been other causes for the administration's course. When the (Madrid bulletin, stating the proba bility of an 'armistice I j In Cuba was made known they found inMt j a veri ncatron df their surmises. ! . j At one time d'uring 'dhe afterhoon th inklication was strong that- dissatisfac tion would find voice in the open ses sion of the senate, but .those who felt disposed to discuss the question were restrained largely from a feeling of del icacy (because not fully certain of their gToumd. The conservatirve element did not find encouragement in the situa tion. They, were not. "displeased over the prospect of delay, but tfhey express ed regret at the oooas'ion for it. "The publication of '.the fact (of danger to Ajn'ericans in njuipa," aia one m tneim, "will set the country j aflame and the" war spirit will be more! rampant to morrow than ever." .
