Don VI. DicI<inson's Views.
DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 23.-The News to-
day prints an extended Interview with Hon.
Don NJ. Dickinson on the Cuban question.
His expressions show him to have been a
close student OF Cuban history and Spain's
expressions. and his conclusions are regard
cd to be to some degree indicative OF the
sentiments OF the national administration.
In the course of the interview Mr.. Diclkin-
son says:
while we must maintain the laws of
neutrality. yet the law OF humanity Is
higher, and whether or not the United
states recognizes the belligerency or the
independence OF Cuba, this country should
certainly intervene in the interests of civil
izatlon to restrain the atrocities on persons
and property daily perpetrated In the
island. This Is what Cubans are hoping and
-.ssssyins for: No law csn restrain restrain the ex-
pathy, nor should IL restrain, In my opin-
Ion. such an expression from this country
Cuba is at our doors, In the highway. OF
our commerce--so near that as the murders
go on we can hear the shrieks OF wo4nen
and children, and can see the horrors re-
newed In Cuba that were practiced by Alva
In the Netherlands. We can send our SYM
pathles TO Greece TO Poland. to Hungary
but here AT home, at our very doors, shall
this struggling people
- Toss their fettered arms on high,
And groan for freedoms gift I'm vain? y
