message, referring to the part about Spain aud
Cuba says: III Spain cannot suppress the
Cuban rebels, it the Island must be half ruined
while she holds it. if she will not put an end to
that institution which is the main source of
disturbance, it would be hard to expect the
United States to let the work of devastation
proceed unchecked, merely out of regard to the
nominal sovereignty of Spain. Spain is on
trial The limit of her power to restore order
will be the limit of her right s''
