It is learned that Senior de LONE Al
Spanish minister. had a short intprin
with Secretary Olney yesterday, and 4
the course of their conversation. pprAsr
in answer to the secretary's incur N
minister made a statement that onqr,trl
in Cuba Weld be conducted WITH ::,qs]
Visor hereafter. AS the President Tr5
certainly make some reference t. f, n
surrection in his annual M ,sdse 10 ell
gress when it meets in Deccm!g 4
would be but natural that Secses
Olney. upon whom he must rely for N
information, should take steps to cath
data upon which to base a judgment /
probable future events. 1t may be n
down as beyond belief that Seupad
Olney has made a statement to the Snl
ish minister in the nature OF tlm|
to intervene between the combataDt Il
Cuba at this stage, for this would amou
to a reversal of the .2?licy of this svrI
ment in such matters.
While it is true that President Ga
did, as indicated in his message 70 ca
gress. entertain a belief that the int
vention in the then progressing rlE
in Cuba would be justiiable, it is an
true that this view never was acq
able to Secretary Fish and it has
secured the adherence, of interaata
lawyers. The whole weight of auhn
is decidedly adverse to the assertion
a neutral nation of a right to say iii
war between two combatants b
progressed to a point where it must
stopped. 1t may be recalled that sou
such opposition was made during the ID
stages of the Chinese-Japanese war
it never went further than the eye5
of the good Offices of the mtercs,d
tons to bring about peace, which fun@
is entirely distinct fro,2 direct nter1t
ton. The question is also separate fS
that of the recognition of the beIispra
of the insurgents, which, according
our policy and practice. must be lea
mined purely by the facts in each case
1t is pointed out here also that the
cumstances at present are different
