Now for Cuban Recognition.
Washington Times.

Washington Times.
The removal of Gen. Com.
pos should be sufficient evil
dence upon which to base a
recognition Of Cubs. T h e
Spanish army in Cuba has
heen defeated, outgeneraled
and Inundated by the Gu
ban patriots; and itsattempt
ed reorganization in com.
lnand OF another general dem
onstrates the strength and
success of the insurrection.
Under the circumstances it is
next to impossible for the Cn
bans to hold a seaport for a
definite time, or to establish
a capital and a pei manent
form Of government. The Gu.
han capital is in the saddle
surrounded by a victorious
army that has traversed the
length and breadth OF Cuba,
and the form of government
has created a constitution
and a code OF law in t h 9
one sentiment-Free Cuba
that inspires the heart OF ev-
cry Cuban to sacrifice his life
if necessary in throwing off
the yoke of the oppressor.
Within thirty days after
Congress acccrds belligerent
rights to Cuba her sons will
not only have established a
capital with a permanent
form of government, which is
already created. but will also
be in possession of several
seapcrts. Arrangements ha> e
heen lnnde to put II number
of vessels in commission when
it can be- done without hav-
ing them branded as pirates,
which can only be after Cuba
has been recognized. The re
cent success OF Gen. Gomez
demonstrate the u bility of the
Cubans to capture and hold
a port when circumstances
make ltan advantage instead
OF detrnIent to do 50. Az
for the argument concerning
the capital. For some time
at the beginning If the revo-
luton it was doubtful wheth-
er our fourfathers had one.
Certainly, all Things consider
Ell, the ('ubans have fully as
much reason to boast of their
form of Government as this
country had in the earlier
days of it's struggles.
The time to recognize Gu
la is now, when our sympa-
thy and moral support is
most needed. The Cnbans are
certain to succeed, and it
would he better to merit
good will by lending them a
helping hand than to incur
their i'll will by taking mp the
cause of Spain.
