Cuba’s Independence Elevates Cuban Issue in Senate
The Senate debated recognizing Cuban independence with two advocates, Senator Cullom of Illinois and Senator Day of Florida. Cullom introduced a joint resolution demanding end to Spanish control and extirpation of Spanish title in the Caribbean, urging prompt recognition of Cuban independence. Day presented a separate resolution advocating independence, citing the Oscar Cespedes case to show Spain’s impotence in protecting American rights. The immigration bill saw no action after amendments, and a treaty with Mexico to extend boundary marking was readied in executive session. The House discussed land ownership for aliens in territories and a no-liquor rule for the Capitol, while other measures, including a mortgage foreclosure act, moved slowly.
