FREEDOM FOR CUBA.

Independence said to he the Policy of
the President.
WASHINGTON, June LIN pursuing a
policy looking to the complete independ-
ence of Cuba, President Mckinley has
the cordial cooperation of every mem
Der of his cabinet. The president pro-
poses to induce Spain to practically &C
cept the good offices of this government
for the purpose of concluding an hon
orable peace, with the understanding
that Cuba shall have a republican form
of government and be freed from the
possibility of IA military dictatorship;
this government to undertake to sustain
a civil form of government IN the isl
and. In the event Of failure, after ex-
hausting every means of securing q
peaceful solution of the problem, the
president will resort to force. The
Spanish minister is fully advised of
the plan and has communicated it to
his government.
Will supper the President.
At the cabinet meeting on Friday last
it was suggested by two of the members
of the cabinet that in the event of war
it would be necessary to issue bonds,
and that this power would have to be
secured from the congress, where the
silver senator's might block the way by
demanding the issue of silver bonds.
This matter was fully considered, and
on Saturday the president communi-
Gated with a leading silver Republican
senator, who sent back word: Tell
the president that the silver senators
are as patriotic as ever, and will do
nothing in such an emergency to ham
per him. We are not only patriotic,
but we know enough of politics to know
that the people of this country would
condemn us if we should pursue such a
course in such an emergency. 1t would
mean the doom of the silver cause if
we should undertake to stand in the
way Of public opinion at such time"
Special Message Likely.
1t was stated at the White House dur
ing the afternoon by a senator who had
conversed with the president that the
report of Judge Calhoun is expected
early this week, and that the president
does not intend to take final action in
the development of his policy until he
receives that report. Consul General
Lee was directed to show Judge Cal
houn the copy of his recent report, and
also to give him data concern
ing later developments in Havana,
i'll order that the important report of
Calhoun may be an up-to-date docu-
ment, upon which the president may
act, and which he may be able to lay
before both houses of congress in a
message on the a~ll-engrossing
topic. No doubt is expressed in any
quarter concerning the determination of
the president to bring to a close the
president condition of affairs in Cuba.
