OEe word from the Government of the
United States would make Cuba free
There are abundant reasons why that
one word should be withheld. Good
faith toward International law, and all
honest considerations forbid its utter
sace. Sooner or later all the questions
involved in this struggle will be settled
BY the peaceable annexation of Cuba to

merely q question of time. But now
comes the little South American State
of Colombis with a proposition for an
alliance with all her sister Republics of

proposition Is, that if Spain refuses to
