sense OF Great Britain. We respectfully declare, in
Tho presence Of her Eentlemanly minister in Wash

frankly tell him that we will resist toe attempt by all
the means which Providence has placed 10 hands
Or is il surprising that we should demand
quivoeal disclaimer OF such purpose the part OF his
court Is surprising that expect from her repre-
sentative categorical to the questions "Is your
government about 10 change her policy respecting Cuba
Do they mean 10 Withdraw their cruisers from the

necessary information al their command Let them mol
equyocale, but lie, them answer eeyiet them state. al
