AN ENGLISH VIEW.
Comments Of the London Times on The
Cuban Resolution.

The action of tho United States Senate on
the Cuban question has aroused comment in
the press of London. An editorial in the
Standard says:
"The Senate has placed President Clcve-
land in highly embarrassing position. II is
unlikely that the proud Spanish nation
would yield II America threatened war on
behalf Of Cuba. II Is much 10 be- hoped that
President Cleveland will act prudcntly.'
An editorial In the Times ON the same sub
jCct SAYS: "Thc resolution H. very embaras-
sing for Spain. who, while she cannot but
regard the recognition as an unfricndly act
Is In no position to resent IL. She could gain
nothing by declaring war against the United
States. who in addition can make out n case
which Is at least plausible. that 1t is merely "a
tardy and reluctant recognition of palpable
facts.
"The supplementary resolution was avow-
odly added in Difference to those who
would gladly provoke n war with Spain The
proposals for the Independence Of Cuba, pre-
sentcd ~ they probably will be-. with direct
ness OF speech In which American politicians
often indulge, could not fail to prove In the
highest degree offensive to a proud and SEN
sitivc people.
"Whatever course the President may decide
to take, this resolution. and the inilamma-
tory language in which IL was discussed. de-
'rpnd the most seriors consideration hy

and delicacy that she may well command the
sympathy even ofthose disappearing the re-
cent history of Cuba.

obstinate continuance Of the struggle, must

may perhaps be advisable to consider
whether home rule for Cuba is not the best
solution
4 dispatch from Madrid says that the pa

10 the cost of the Cuban war. Nearly 49,
900 men have been sent 10 the island and
the cost Of the rebellion has already amount
ed 10 100000, 600, and for the second year IL
will exceed $4,000. 600. The correspondent
says that Captain General Wcyler reports
that IL will take at least two years to crush
the rebellion.
