Cuba from Spain for the purpose Of ad-
| ding il TO the United States.
1t is generally admitted that as a bel
ligerent forceSpa in would be no match
for the United States in event Of hosti-
lily arising out of the dispute.
When it comes to the merits of the
case upon which the United States bases
its action, the opinion holds that Spain s
treatment of Cuba has been, and is,
brutal, and such as awakens a senti-
ment of Reproduction. But, looking fur
Their, to the legal aspects of the case, il
is considered that Spain is still within
her rights, which are secured 10 her by
| international law, in quelling the re-
bellien in any possible way.
1t is said in Berlin that Spain Will
brook any interference with her course
in Cuba, such as is contemplated by the
concurrent resolution Of the senate, and
the opinion is generally held by we'll
informed politicians in the reichstag and
in government circles that the Spanish
government will find an ally against the
United States in Europe, should she
find herself compelled to fight against
the United States
The imbroglio has been the subject OF
interesting discussion in the Hobbies of
the reichstag and one hears widely diff
fering views of it expressed.
For example. Herr Richter, the dis
tinSuished Radical leader, said to the
correspondent of the Associated Press:
THE United States has undoub teddy
become new and hitherto unconsider-
ed factor in international politics. As
to the Cuban resolution, Spain would be
better off TO be rid of Cuba, from the fin
ancial point of view, as the island costs
her more than it yields. But she would
not agree to give it up, for to do so
means for her the abdiction of all pre-
tension as a great power in Europe.
There is q great reserve displayed in
government circles in expressing any
apinion on the subject, as was to be ex-
pected, and the portion Of the press
which has official connections has been
silent. At the foreign ojce, however,
il was said to the Associated Press cor
respondent to grave fears were enter
tanned there that serious International
complications would be the outcome of
the attitude of the United States toward
Cuba. 1t may be said in a general way
that everywhere establishment is ex-
pressed at the turn taken by American
policy.
The press Is only just beginning to
comment upon the subject and obvious
il, regarding it as a new subject
The Frankfurther Zeitung editoriany |
discredits its own dispatch from New |
York alleging that secret negotiations |
are in progress between France and |
Spain looking TO allied opposition to in |
by the United States in Gu |
ba. France is too much engaged with1
her own AFFAIRS" the Zeitung thinks, "to /
go out OF her way to the support OF /
Spain"
The vossiche Zeitung, of this city,
maintains a neutral tone in its COM
nents, but says: Naturally, the pro-
offered by the United States |
have been keenly felt in Spain"
This journal also expresses the hope
hat President Cleveland will succeed in
calming the excitement on Cuba in con-
,ress and in the nation. 1t hints that
spain might be willing to sell or cede
Cuba to another power to be rid Of the
it causes her.
The National Zitung utters a warning
q its readers against undertaking the |
meaning of the latest manifestation by
he United States, although it does not
mean a decisive plan of action on the
1art of the United States government
President Cleveland will doubtless be
ible to stem the popular expressions OF
TO Spain" the National
Zeitung continues, but he will prob
IDLY be unable to prevent the house Of
from supparting the re-
solution"
1t concludes that the Spaniards de-
idedly will not chime with the expec-
atoms of the United States.
