Gus. We have all along known, thanks
to the Algemeine Zeitung and our own
correspondent, that there was in Germany
q powerful liberal party inside the Church,
totally opposed to the plan and purpose
Of the Council. We did not know, how
ever, until the publication Of "Von janus
IA work of immense ability and Iabori-
Gus learning, and evidently the product of
many hands and many brains-lhat The
plan OF the Council was so much out Of
favor on the part of progressive Catholics.
This work, which has fallen upon the
Church like. "a thupderbolt, shows that
the countrymen Of Luther are not to be
despised. In France, the Archbishop Of
Paris and the Bishop of Orleans, both Of
them leaders, although on different sides,
in the Gallican Church, have pronounced
against infaIlibility /; and in the name Of
France Father Hyacinthe stands up before
the world protesting against the old wo-
men and The pettlcoats of the Vatican.
10 England, too. where lack of Numbers
in the Catholic Church is made up by
strength of faith and intensity of feeling,
alienation has been provoked, and where
or how it will end ii is truly difficult to
say. All lungs CONSIDERED We nave no
choice, but say that while the Ecumenical
Council will be "a grand archaeological
show it will not do much to heal "Chris-
tendom's divisions" or to benefit mankind.

SPAIN AND CUBA.
AS the United States is the first Of oil
nations, so, to, the people sympalhize
with all peoples struggling for liberty
and self-governnent. But while so SYM
pathizing, it is due TO our honor that we
should SO obstain from enforcing our
views upon unwilling nations. and from
taking an interested part without invita-
ton. In the quarrels between different
nations, as between Governments and
their subjects. our course should always
be 10 conformity with strict justice and
law, international and local. Such has
been the policy Of the Administration in
dealing with these questions. For more
than a year a valuable province of Spain
and a near neighbor of ours, in whom all
our people cannot but feel a deep interest.
has been struggling for independence and
freedom. The people and the Govern
ment Of the Uuiied States entertain the
same warm feelings and sympathies for
the people OF Cuba in their pending strug-
gle that they manifested throughout the
previous struggles between Spain and
her former colonies in behalfof he latt@r.
But the contest has al no time assumed
the condi ons which amount 10 G war in
the sense of International law, or which
would show the existence of a de fucto
political organization of the insurgents
sufficient to Justify a recognition Of bel
ligrrency. The principle is maintained,
however, that This nation is its own Judge
when to accord the rights of delinquency
either to a people struggling TO free
themselves from IA Government they be-
litve to be oppressive, or to independent
nations at war with each other. The
United States have no disposition to in
~terfere with the existing relations Of
Spain 10 her colonial possessions on this
continent, They believe that in due
time Spain and other European Powers
will fad theirA interest in terminating
those relations and establishing their pre-
sent dependencies us independent Powers
members of the family of nations. The
dependencies are no longer regarded as
~snhject to transfer from one European
Power to another. When the present
relation of colonies ceases, they are to be-
come independent Powers, exercising the
right of choice and of self control. In the
determination of their future condition
and relations with other Powers, the
United States, in order to put a stop to
bIoodshed in Cuba, and in the interest Of
a n%eiehboring people, proposed their
good Offices TO bring the existing contest
to a termination. The offer not being
accepted by Spain, on q basis which we
believed could be received by Cuba, was
Withdrawn. 1t is hoped that the good
