The language of the Senate committee Is

not in being. To recognize thing is to
acknowledge it's existence. Recognition
is not creative power. 1t does not call
into being what was not there before. 10

which does not exist Ia either self
deception or an attempt to deceive
others. But this is just what has been
done in the Senate resolution. There is
no entity in existence entitled 10 DO
called the Republic Of Cuba. All authority
in the island of Cuba today is exercised
either by the Spanish monarchy or by
rebel sold .ery. There is no civil govern
ment of any kind in the island which
can lay the slightest claim to being
obeyei or respected BY tee people We
believe there is somewhere in the island
person who is called President, but
exercises any control or authority. There
ia no legislative body and no executive
head deriving authority from ths people
or responsible tic the people, and II the
Spaniards should abandon the island to-
morrow nobody can say whether the gov
eminent that would spring up would DO
repu blio or military depotism. This
being the case it liz manifos6Iy absurd to
acknowledge the existence OF n Republic
of Cuba. There ia no such thing. Yet
fine lsnoua0e of this resolution was not
we imagine, duo to any misrepresentation
about the fact. 1t ia not at all proba bls
that any member of the committre be-
lieyed that there Was anything in ex-
istencs entitled to be called the Republic
of Cuba. What the committee really in
tended to do was to notify Spain that
this governments had ceased to recognize
her dominion in the island. 1t selected
an indirect Instead of u direct way part
ly, perhapP, because the former was more
diplomatic, and partly, perhaps from the
instructive tendency of men who are
facing grave responsibility TO draw
back q little Senator Mills resolution
ordering our government to take military
nossession of Cuba, and hold it until..a
government had been formed able to pre-
serve order would probably more clearly
express tho purpose and intent Of the
,Jinaoes than the resolution that mas been
adopted.

There is, undoubtedly, a large body OF
people in this country who would not OBJ
jeos to a brush with Spain. Some of
them ara influenced by feeling that 1t
would help business. Especially Is this
the case with the unemployed. They
think that war would make more oppor-
TURTLES tor labor. Then there are
spectators who see in war opportunities
for large profits. There are Others who
think that the liberation of Cuba from
the dominion Of Spain would give us
some important commercial advantages.
There are some, too, perhaps, who believe
that we owe it to humanity to stop the
devastation of property and the destruc-
ton of human lite that is going on iu
tn. island. AL these classes added to-
aether make largo and influential body.

TO support the claim of the agitators that

Secretary OIney tells Congress in very
plnin English that in his opinion (and
doubtless in that Of the President too)
the recognition of Cuban Independence
or belligereney is n purely executive
function with which Congress has
nothing to do: and he gives Congress to
understand that even If the resolution
iHs9 reported by the Senate committee Oh
foreign affairs relative to Cuba should be
pissed by both houses Of Congress the
President would pay no attention to it.
1t 10 certainly very extraordinary for n
Calumet officer to lecture Congress US the
Secretary does in his statement; it is n

audacIty. 1t shows less respect for the
