vs. at a heavy cost, what might for
lars be more loss than gain-would
I be entangled in a war combining a
maximum of cost and a minimum OF
glory. Such considerations cannot pass
unregarded at Washington, since there
is still ground for the hope that peace
may be preserved.
The Examiner, of Spain and Cuba,
has the fol lowing: "By the history of
analogy, there is no longer physical
impeachment to the representation of
Cuba in the spanish Cortes. Expediency
commerds it, but for Cuba, is it not
too late If not sold or surrendered,
her own inhabitants must in some form
be mortgaged to the Americans, with
the certainty that once in pawn she
will eventually become theirs. 1t is
better for Cuba that this should be so,
and it is better perhaps for Spain"
