WAR DOES EXIST IN CUBA.

There are members of the United States senate who do not believe state of war exists in Cuba and for this reason have steadfastly refused to consider the reso- lutions offered from time to time in that body declaring that a state of war does exist in Cuba and that the Cubans should have the rights of belligerents accord ed them by the congress of the United States. This feeling upon their part should cease to exist now that the Span ish minister, Senor DeLome. has ac- knowledged such to be the case. Of all the foreign diplomats at Washington Senor DeLome has been acknowledged one of the shrewdest, yet in letter to Miss Clara Barton, president of the Red Cross society he inadvertently admits the fact and nothing now remains for the United States to do save give the Cubans the same recognition accorded the Southern Confederacy by the Spanish government during it's struggle for inde- pendence,
