the peace association for arbitration

says: Lord Salisbury's letter is the

Senior Moret, who is said to he the
greatest authority in Spain on interim
tional law, declared in an address, a
few days ago, that Europe will not
permit Cuba to belong to the United
States, since it is destined TO be the
Gibraltar OF the Western hemisphere"
This is significant talk, and deserves
attention. The idea seems to be that
the American Gibraltar, wherever it
is, must necessarily be a European
possession. The United States has nc
designs of conquest en- Cuba, but when
Spain loses it's hold on that island all
Europe combined will not be strong
enough to acquire it for their Gibral
tar.
