editorial today commenting upon an ed-
torial in La Epocha OF Madrid of December
%. La Epocha. which is the organ OF Senior
Canovas, the premier, said that since See
rotary Olney had declared that the preSi
dent is exclusively competent to recognize
the belligerency or Independence OF another
power, the relations between WASHINGTON
and Madrid had been more favorable and
Spain had gained in European public opin-
ion. II was pointed out in addition that a
large portion OF the press, IN some cases
semi official representatives of the ruspcc-
tive governments. had advised Spain to
tolerate American intervention aud to al
low tho United states to take part Indirect
" in the pacifcation of the island of Cuba
and in reforms which were hound to lead
to the consideration of Spanish reignty.
La Lucha concludes from this editorial
OF La Epocha that there does not exist the
slightest doubt that the United States TO-
mented the Cuban war

exists the power to end it. They are talk
