A Peerless Orator.

Opinion Of the peerless Orator
Doroughty then of Pennsylvania,
who placed Hancock in nomination
for president in 1850. He wrote;
"Gov. Hubbard's speech in the
national convention, seconding the
nomination of Gen. Hancock for
president, was one OF the most
thrilling and eloquent ever listened
to, and have heard many. Thous-
ands were spell-bounda as he sketched
Gen. Hancock's noble career as
military governor of Texas and
Louisiana, and the love the south
bore for the great soldier"

~ THE PRESIDENT OPPOSED TO
III CUBAN REVOLUTIONS:

The Louisville couricr-Journal claims
to have information from Washington
TO the effect that the President and
his Cabinet are gtrongiy opposed to the
present recognlZat ton Of the bclligcrency
of the Cuban insurgents. and to any
declaration concerning their indepen-
dence as embodied In recent Congress
sional resolutions. The following. it
says, is not an official statement, but it
is known from careful inquiry that 1t
accurately represents the admInistra-
tons views on the matter:
while the President and the members
Of the Cabinet personally feel the SYM
pathy common to all Americans with
hose Cuba ms who are c%ontending for
self-governInent; they feel that In their
official action they should not depar;
from the well-scttled principles which
were followed by former Presidents and
Secretaries of State during prior insuy-
rections in Cuba"

Journal obtained Sta information, but

THE STRATEGIC VALUE OF KEY
WEST.

Passing events bring prominently into
view the strategic value of Key West,
and 1t is gratifying TO see that the Gov
eminent is recognizing the fact.
For many years We a V had II coa
shed there, but the facilities for coal
ing have been very short OF what they
should be. This. however. is to be i'm
proved upon by the erection of ar adj
ditional shed. ana the building of a
coaiing pier. an appropriation of $50, 600
having already been made for that pur-
pose. The failure of the Government
to secure n point further South makes
the need of "a proper station at Key
West all the more necessary. and il
looks now us though we are going to
have 1t. The New York Sun says we
have, it is true, two other naval and
Royal and Pensacola: but ii Is Il long
run back 10 either from Key West, and
the latter is undoubtedly our proper
nava outpost and basis of operation
for the Gulf. as well as our haven of
refuge for merchantmen pursued by
hostile cruisers. An enemy. too. might
we'll try TO seize II hold Key West.
both for his w uses and to keep its
benefits from us"
The nearest point Of the chain of the
Keys to Cuba is less than n hundred
miles. while Key West proper domi-
mates n great mercantile highway. As
the Sun remarks. the pressure of events.
which will NOT nllnw waiting IN ornpir.
even IL one could be secured, confirms
the wisdom OF the Government in maxi
ing Il fuller use OF our W Florida keys
for coalinE purposes.
The Norfolk Virginian. [volume] (Norfolk, Va.) 186?-189?, 1896-03-06

the belief obtains that the report gained
currency from q misinterpretatlon of the
remarks OF the President. made In his
last regular message to Congress, touch
Ing the Cuban question. The Washing
ton Post takes the position. however,
ithat there can be no justice or propriety
IN baSfng upon the Presidents message
OF last December any conclusions as to
MS probable attitude toward the reso-
'lutions adopted in Congress expressing
sympathy with the Cuban Insurgents
and calling for their recognition as bel
l~egerents."
What the President said on that occa-
sion does not Justify the statement thai
himself and Cabinet are now opposed
to the recognition of the ,belligerency
of the Cubans..
The only point OF reference which can
be raised In his connection Is what he
mad to say Of II obligations OF neu-
trality. and just here IL is well to re-
that he recognition OF belligerency
commits lis to II more strict OBJ
sefvance of neutrality thar before, and,
therefore. If the President Is opposed to
the resolutions it Is not on the score
n n recognition of sNigerency will
lessen u obligations In that direction.
1T Is possible that the administration
does not think hlic present state of uf-
fairs in Cuba justinos any change In
the attitude of his Government to-
wards II, but there Is nothing in the
message of December last to enable any
one to say this with certainty. The
fact Is no one is able to say what the
President Is going to do in the prem
Uses until he speaks.
