OF the destinies OF America.
The Ndsi0 also refers TO the display or force
now being made in the United States. and says,
Fright is better than might. Let the TWO govern

that Spain ought to give satisfaction. let 1t be
asked without any display OF strength and un-
doubtedly it will be given" The Did,1o concludes
the article from which l am quoting as follows:-

Part OF the press OF Havana abstains from any
editorial remarks on the present situation OF
affairs. The general opinion has been formed from
the impression OF the New York correspondents OF
the Did,Io and voz de cuba; who do mot

convenient to Spain. Furthermore that there
exists no motive why these two nations should ap.
