Four American citizens are now un-
der sentence of death in Cuba after
trial by Spanish court martial upon a
charge of conspiring to aid the revo
lutionists. The populace of Spain de-
mands that the sentence be carried
out, but America and Great Britain,
through their governments, have
asked for clemency. 1t is no exag-
Grafton to say that the determina-
ton of this case is likely to settle the
fate of Cuba. If Spain yields to the
cry of the people aud these Ameri-
cans are put to death there will be no
longer barrier to prevent this coun
try from coming to Cuba's assistance.
The president could not prevent it
and congress, vested with the power
of declaring war, would not try to
prevent it. Those British newspapers
which declare that the United States
is ready to do more than talk for Cuba
if a reasonable chance is offered have
correctly stated the situation and it
needs only the execution of these
prisoners to furnish the chance for
action. The latest Cuban incident is
by far the gravest that has yet arisen.
