China 1t appears that ON February the

ened attack on the consulate and a request

ON THE WAY TO CUBA.
| Ex-President Cleveland and ex-Secretaries
! Bayard, Villas and Dickinson arrived here at
] $40 in the afternoon and left at $40 for
! Tampa, Fla, whence they will sail for Cuba.
| In response TO applause from small crowd
| gathered at the station the ex-presdent ap-
| peared on the platform Of his special car and
/ bowed his Acknowledgements
The Post IN commenting editorialY upon
the fact that the day was ex- PRESIDENT Cleve-
lands 52i birthday, says that he is so well
preserved that it is likely he has a quarter Of
. century before him. The Post does not be-
lieve the ex-president has given up his politi-
sal ambition, and it says that the fact that
his administration was in some respects dis
appointment TO his party, and that he failed
Of reelection, carries with it no proof that
his retirement from politics Is permanent
The other and greater fact that whatever
may have been the faults Of his administrn-
ton, 1t is destined to occupy creditable rank
in the history OF the country, and is growing
into the confidence Of the people rather than
out OF il, as their second sober til 3ught gives
weight 70 the opinion that he Is destiaed to
become more Of political force out Of office
than in it,
