have 90 yet determined on DO special course
though it is understood that Austria, as being

UNITED STATES.
WAsHINGToN.-It is understood in semi
official circles that the Government is about
to take firm attitude with regard to the con-
dition of Cuba. The frequent changes in the
Government of Spain and the continued hope
that Spain herself might be able to settle all
the difficulties which have surrounded her,
have SO far caused the President to defer action.
The question to what decision the United
States shall make is q serious and difficult one,
not to be determined without careful consde-
ration of the complex elements of domestic and
foreign policy, but the determination of which
may at any moment be forced upon us by &C.
curances, either in Spain or Cuba. Withal the
Presldent cannot but regard independence and
emancipation, of course, as the only certain
and even the necessary solution ofthe question
of Cuba, and in his mind all incidental ques
tlons are quite subordinate to those, the larger
objects of the United States. In this respect
the President does not mediate or desire the
annexation of Cuba to the United States, but
it's elevation into an independent republic of
freemen in harmony with ourselves and with
the other republics of America. The policy of
the United States in reference to Cuba at the
present time is declared to be one of expectan-
cy, but with positive and fixed convictions as
to the duty of the United States when the
time or emergency of action shall arrive:
