EUROPE INDIFFERENT TO CUBA

EUROPE INDIFFERENT TO CUBA.
1T Is perfectly certain" he replied.
that we are suspected in Europe of
harbOring the intention to annex Cuba.
But, even so. the Powers of Europe
would regard contest between the
United States and Spain with perfect
Indifference. Spain has no ardent
friends in Europe outside of Spain, and
we have none at all. But Cuba is too
remote an interest to interest Europe.
Il do not think our government
wishes to annex Cuba, but we should
certainly be unwilling to seen another
Power Than Spain control the island.
l imagine that the government has
been so far restrained from interfer-
ence chiefly by a desire not to seem to
bully an inferior Power 1t is ques-
tion now whether reasonable patience
has not been exhausted.
Spain might take the initiative in
war with the United States merely as
an expedient to preserve the incum-
bent dynasty from dangers at home.
The Carlists are watching and waiting
and always hoping. They might prove
dangerous in case of trouble
Colonel Watterson said that Canovas
was not regarded in Europe as strong
man. and that the general feeling was
that Spain was in it's decadence and
had little left of the old Castilian spirit.
