1t is pretty satisfactorily settled
that one of the strongest points in
the Presidential message to Con-
gress next month will be rounded
in urging an acknowledgment of
Cuba's belligerent rights, and ex-
tending to that island the rights
and privileges ola sovereign ma
ton.
For a time this was doubted,
but further evidence of its likeli-
ness does AWAY with much of the
doubt, and leaves it "a stable
enough fact to bet upon. The ma
jority of the cabinet are in favor
of such movement The presi-
dent is naturally friendly to a re-
public struggling against mon
archy, and Secretary Fish alone
seems to be the only powerful in
f1uence against it.
The first result would be to rem
der Cuban bonds of some value
which are ut present worth no
more to their owners than pass
across the river Styx to decent
christian--and there are thousands
of moneyed men ready to bu up
Cuban paper when there is hope
of Cuban liberty.
