SLAVERY IN CUBA.
In the house of lords this evening Lord
Selborne, liberal conservative, calling atten-
ton to slavery in Cuba, and moving for pa
pers in regard thereto, pointed out that Spain
had not fulfilled her engagements on the
subject.
Lord Selbourne recalled the fact that Spain
agreed by treaty to abolish slavery IN he1
dominions by the end Of 1920, but within
twenty years from that time upwards of
10000 slaves were imported to Cuba in
Spanish ships, and the treatment those slaves
received was violation of the treaty. he
said that for the sake of Spain and the honor
of England steps should be
taken to insist that Spain carry out her
treaty engagements. Lord Salisbury replied
that the government would produce the
papers called for, but he deprecated interfer-
ence in the internal arrangements of Spain.
he said the government could not address
such vigorous dispatches to Spain as Lord
Selbourne wished, but would lose no oppor-
tunity of reminding Spain of her en-
gagements. Earl Granville accused
Lord Salisbury of defending
Spain's breach of treaty. Lord
Beaconsfeld said experience had shown
cations that it was generally unwise to press
foreign governments too strongly on the
carrying out of treaties, and much depended
on friendly representation. The government
must trust as much as possible to moral in
tuence. The motion for the papers was
then agreed to.
