General OF Cubn, in his thrent Of vengeance
upon Guatemala Tor recognizing the Cuban
patriots rs belligescnts, then the situation
certainly presents verliko front from,
which the American nation cannot and will
not desire to escape. The effect of such m
undertaking would unqnestionably be to rec
unite tho present separate sud independent
Republics Of Central America for common re-
sistaAce, with tho probable assistance Of
South American Republics. Tho Republics
Of Perm, Chill, Colombia, Venezuela, md
Bolivia having also recognized tho Cubana as

against this trne-tllctation led to political in.

From tl.at time Great Britain began grna-
ually to reform her colonial policy, until to-
day there il not British possession or de-
penlency, from tho little Malta to the
great East Indian Empire, TINT has not tho
right to regulate its own commerce, bny
wlero 1t Gnu buy to hest advantage, and sell
where 1t can sell to best advantage. The sin-
gle right rescrvoa by Grent Britain in hor
trade relations with her colonies is that they
shall not discriminate against her In their
regulations for co1ntnerce,-a right she would
bo Inclined to assert as against any independ-
eut Government that sought to discriminate
agafnst her.
Tho lesson Which Great Britain learned
from tho successful revolt OF tho American
colonies waa entirely lost upon Spain. spnll,
