The Times on Cuba
The London Times of the 9Th reproduces all the fill
buster reports about grand instructions and victories,
and IN closing It's accounts, remarks:
"The American government has at length despatched

The ministerial journals account for the comparatively
small number of the councils of reimbursement which
have recorded their opinion by suggesting that many of
them entertained doubts whether revision matter
within their competence and therefore thought it better
to abstain from discussing it. These doubts are exceed
ingly well founded or, TO speak correctly, it is be-
