A cablegram from s; ain says that az
article recently appeared in the hpo''
organ of the Conservative party the
Darty in power, which has caused SEN
sation because II is evident that the ar
ticle was inspired.
The article in question Is as follows;
american Intervention in Cuba Is per-
fectlv logical on the grounds OF material
interests and national sentiment.
ct might become an inevitable mecca
city of American homo politics and II Is
eminently TO the interest OF our own
country TO avoid a conflict while we can
do so with honor. maintaining our zig
nifty and sovereignty
This would Indicate that the Spanish
authorities view with favor the PROPOSE
ton of President Cleveland to bring the
Cuban war>to an end through the friend
~ officers of the United States.
Mr.. Cleveland has settled the Vene-
uelan dispute with Great Britain in a
manner which seems to be satisfactory
and honorable to all interests concerned.
II now he shall succeed in bringing TO a
close the war in Cuba and in giviag to
those down-trodden people, peace and
home rule. his administration will close /
a blaze of glory, in spite of all tina: his
critics may say against him.
