II is undenlable that the Spanish people

II only the idea of Cuban independence is
dropped, and Spain is allowed to execute
her own ideas of colonial reform. All ru-
mors pointing to unofficial action by the
European powers are unfounded except that
the powers generally have advised Spain to
grant to her colonies autonomy and to make
her own terms with the United States, If
she can so hasten the paclfcation of Cuba.
