He urged Intervention by this govern

humanity.
Further. he said that if necessary
the Cubans should be allowed to pur-
chase their freedom from Spain ard
that in the interest of peace. the United
States should guarantee the payments
of the bonds. However. it is time, he
declared, that the executive should
make known his views upon the Cuban
question and if the word was spoken.
