lerVening In Cuba, and much of the
argument on the question proceeds on
the presumption that it IS sought to
take Cuba from Spain for the pur-
pose of adding it to the United States.
IL IS generally admitted that as a
pellgerent force Spain would be no
match for the United States in the
event of hostilities arising out of the
dispute. When it comes to the merits
or the case upon which the United
States bases its action, the opinion
holas that Spain's treatment of Cuba
Res been and is brutal, and such as
aYahens a sentiment of reprobation.
But, looking further, to the legal as
poets of the case, it is considered that
Spain is still within her rights which
are secured to her by international law
in quelling the rebellion in any possible
way. The opinion is generally held by
wen informed politicians that the Span
ish government will find IN ally
AGAINST THE UNITED STATES
IN Europe in case of war.
Herr Richter, the distinguished radi-
cal leader, said to the correspondent of
the Associated Press:
The United States has undoubtedly
become d new and hitherto uncon-
factor in international politics.
AS to the Cuban question, Spain would
be better off to be rid of Cuba, from
the financial point of view, as the
island costs her more than it yielded.
But she would not agree to give it up,
for to do so means for her the aibdica-
ton of all pretension as a great power
in Europe"
There is great reserve displayed in
circles in expressing any
opinion on the subject as was TO be
expected and the portion of the press
which has official connections has been
silent At the foreign Office, however,
it was said to the Associated Press
that grave fears were
entertained there that serious interna-
tional complications would be the out
come of the attitude of the United
States to Cuba.
