THE MESSAGE.


London. December s.-The Pail Mall
Gazette this afternoon, commenting upon
President Ceveland's message TO congress-
says there is nothing in the message un
satisfactory to Great Britain so far as
Cuba is concerned. President Cleveland Is
neither diplomatic nor polite. His Ian
guase will please neither Spain nor the in
surgents.
The Globe sees In the message Monroe
ism thrusting itself forward in the usual
menacng fashion" and doubts II Mckinley
will be Grateful TO his predecessor for be
oueathing the task OF bullying Spain.
The St. James Gazette contrasts the
polite, cautious tone" OF the message with
the "Mlnatory message of year ago on
a similar topic and says This condition
in Cuba gives the United States the right
TO call upon Spain to enforce her authority
speedily or acknowledge that her inability
TO suppress anarchy has deprived her OF
her right to be considered as governing
