cause the annulment of our sovereignty in tho

Seflor Pi MarCall. the old and respected
leader Of the Federal Republican party, says In
the last issue Of Ell Nuero Regimen:
Had the Government believed us and given
autonomy to Cuba ut the beginning of the war,
peace would soon have been restored and rebel
lion would not have spread to the other colo
MES. Spain has not the means to meet the ex-
penses OF the war. Our credit is already
exhausted, as has been shown BY the difficulties
accompanying the negotiation OF paltry loans.
There Is no confidence abroad In the solvency
of Spain, and nobody believes that we will tri-
umph in Cuba.
what does patriotism command under such
circumstances In our opinion, patriotism
commands that peace be made with Cuba on
tho basis of her independence, since there is
no other possible solution of the conflict. This
would at least enable US to depart from the
stead OF being thrown out of ;he island by
them. The right of the Spaniards to their prop
erty in the island would be recognized by the
Cubnns. Commercial advantages would be
stipulated in favor OF Spain, and n fair distri-
button OF the public debt might be obtained.
"Should we conquer the rebellion we would
gain nothing. Peace would be but n truce. Our
fear of a new war would render us suspicious.
and. far from preventing 1t. We would soon pro-
woke 1t. 1t is unQuestionable that nobody loves
