the final settlement Of the Cuban question.
That island is fast o~uigrUwlng The leading
strings in which Spain holds her, and ii sho
cannot sever them IN any other way he Will
do it by violence. Cuba bias derived the im-
pulse cf her material development from tbi-

her people with ours that has stimulated her
in the construction Of railroads, the Ihtrcduc-
tion of steam engines and machinery for her
productive labor and the Development OF the
mechanic arts. To US she looks fora market
for her sugars ard cigars, and to supply her
with grain, meats and Lumber. These Indus
trial ties have generated political sympathies
between the two peoples, which are working
out their results. We should be sorry to see
her reduced to the anarchical condition OF
most Of the otner Spanish American coun-
tries, and she would De glad to have extend
ed over her the guarantee OF the American
Union to her social permanencs and indus
