time have assumed the conditions which amount
to in the sense of international law, or which
would show the existence of a poliscal .organiza-

of their bcllis-erency. The princPe isiuaiptaned,

they believe to be oppressive, independent
nations with each other. The United
States have no disposition to interfere with the
existing relations of Spain to her colonial possess
sions on this continent. They believe in due time
that Spain and other European nations will find
their interests terminating these relations and cs-
tablisfnr their present dependencies as independ-
eut powers and as members of the family of ma
tions. These dependencies are longer re garied
as subject to transfer from one European pownr
another. When the present Relations of the colo
nies cease, they are to become independent powers
exercising the right of choice and self control in
the determination of their future condition and
relations with other powers. The United States
in order to pat a stop to bloodshed in Cuba. and
in the interest of neighborin people, preferred
their good Offices in order to bring the existing
contest to termination. Tho offer not being
eepted by Spain basis which was believed
could be received by Cuba. it was Withdrawn. 1t
is hoped that the good offices of the United States
may yet prove advantageous for the settlement of
this unhappy struggle. Meanwhile number of
