we have been trying to make on
Spain in behalf of Cuba will be
transferred to our own shores, the
executive on one side and the brig
adiers of Congress and the Senate
on the other. Secretary of State
OIney says Congress has nothing to
do with the question, but that it
rests entirely with the President,
and any bill passed by either branch
or by joint resolution of the House
and Senate would be vetoed by
Cleveland as interfering with his
prerogative We will have real
monkey show at the Capitol on this
question after the holidays are over
