THE TIMES ON THE RECENT SPANISH NOTE ON
CUBAN AFFAIRS.
LONDON, February 17.-The Times, in an
article on the recent Spanish note on the
Cuban question, says: "We cannot con-
graduate the Spanish ministry on the force
Of their long and elaborate answer to the
complaints Of the United States. If their
reply proves anything it proves too much.
The insurgents are made out so insignificant
that it is difficult to understand why they
were not crushed years ago.
"The damage done by the struggle is
assumed to be so small that the CON-
plants Of America not only appear unjust,
but omprehensible. Spain speaks as if
she bad not merely been guiltless of oppres.
sion, but had treated the island with gene.
rosity, and altogether we are forced to ufer
that the people which have fought against so
good protector for more than seven years
with Understandable bitterness must be an
unparalleled compound OF stupidity and
weakness.
"Such line Of argument lacks the first ele-
ment of good advocacy, for it is not even
plausible. A very slight knowledge of hu.
man nature, Spanish history, and colonial
life would suffice to show that it must be IA
tally incomplete. When We test it by the
real facts Of the case it is found to omit cir
cumstances which make the origin and coz
tinuance of the contest Ineligible"
The article concludes: Ono country
seeks to interfere by force with SPANS pos.
session of Cub, but if she cannot govern 1t
she would do we'll to consider how she
could best prepare it for the freedom which
always follows colonial misrule."
