DESERVING CUBA.

ton of Cuba by this government
would lay the burden of damage upon
the United States, and leave Spain
out of the reckoning when a settle
ment for war losss was demanded, Ell
Their on the part of Americans in Cuba
or the citizens of other foreign coun-
tries. American and British capital
to very large extent is tied up there,
and there is every reason to conclude
that in the event of Spain reducing the
island to subsection a very heavy bill
of damages would be brought for the
immense destruction to property. This
is one reason no doubt why the ad-
ministration at Washington is so 10th
to take any step in the direction of re-
cOgniOn of Cuba's belligerency, as it
would absOlve Spain from any re-
sponsibility to the citizens of the Uni
ted States. How far this view will
continue to prevent the interference of
the United States, particularly if the
insurgents continue to demonstrate
the inability of Spain to reduce them
to subsection, remains to be seen.
There is no doubt that all these mat
tiers must be considered when the
1nniSinn xrhat
part the United States must finally
take as between the parties at issue.
Matters cannot long remain as at pres
ent. Developments. may take place
any day that would force this country
to intervene, either with friendly Off
ces for an adjustment, or in recogni-
ton of the Cubans, or in the way of
standing sponsor for Cuba's purchase
of the island, or in some way by
which the dreadful havoc of war
would be avoided. The steps taken
by some of the leading citizens of this
country to organize for the aid of
Cuba, holding mass meetings all over
the country to arouse American inter-
est in that country's independence,
proves that the hour is coming when
the United States will take hand in,
either one way or another. If Cleve-
land thinks best to bequeath this set
tlement to Republican administration
he will find in common with the rest
of the country that there will be no
shrinking from that burden. Much
as there may be at stake, the mere
fact that money is involved will not
prevent the government of the United
States as administered by Republi-
cans from being humane, broad mad
charitable. Republican efforts in Gu
ba will not pass without securing real
sympathy in the United States, and it
will be a sympathy that will aid. The
efforts of such men as Silas p. Hunt
ington and Chauncey Depew will not
be without their effect in arousing
such feeling in behalf of struggling
Cuba as will fairly compel congress
and the administration at Washing
ton to interpose in some effective way.
