BELL1GERENCY DISCUSSED.

Declaring that throughout all these
horrors and dangers to our own peace,
the United States has never abrogated
its prerogative of determining its policy
according to its own high sense of right
and its interest, the President says:
"Of the untried measures, there re-
main only: Recognition of the insur-
gents as belligerents; recognition of the
independence of Cuba; neutral interven-
ton to end the war by imposing a
rational compromise between the con-
testants, and intervention in favor of
one or the other party. i speak not of
forcible annexation, for that cannot be
thought of. That by our code of
morality would be criminal aggression"
The President then proceeds to discuss
the first head, namely, the recognition
of belligerency. He recalls the resolu-
tons of Congress in 1896, and since
then he quotes the wise utterances of
President Grant in his message Of De
cember z, 1875, particularly where he
declares against the recognition of indie
pendence at that time, and also Presi-
dent Grants declaration that he failed
to find in the instruction the existence
of such SUBSTANTIAL political organi-
cation and other elements required by
international usage as would place 1t on
the terrible footing of war to which a
recognition of belligerency would aim
to elevate it. Completing his quotation
from that portion of President Grants
message, the President says still fur
ther pertinent considerations appear as
to the practical aspects of the question.
In the code of nations there is no such
thing as a naked recognition of bellig-
erency unaccompanied by the assump-
| ton of international neutrality. Such
recognition would not confer upon
either party to the conflict a status not
heretofore actually possessed and a
recognition of belligerent rights, while
nominally equal, would weigh heav-
| lily in behalf of Spain herself. Spain
could not only claim the right of search
ON the high seas and of seizure of con-
trabands, but her maritime rights could
be asserted up to the margin of our
own territorial waters, and a condition
of things would exist for which the
| Cubans, within their own dominions,
could not hope to create parallel. The
United States would acquire no right Of
