Notable Senate Speeches on Philippines and Cuba
In Washington on May 23 a lively Senate debate featured speeches by Senator Platt of Connecticut and Senator Spooner of Wisconsin. Platt defended government probes in Cuba and attacked partisan manipulation, while Spooner contended America’s Cuba policy had delivered liberty and warned against demagoguery. The session discussed postmaster investigations, Wood’s Cuban governance, and broader U S duties in Cuba and the Philippines as the presidential campaign loomed.
