calmly and clearly prints IN an East
ern paper view of the situation as
it appears to an educated native of
the island. He gives the reasons
why nothing short of independence
will satisfy those who have risen in
repeated revolts against the oppres-
sion of Spain.
In the first place, as a Cuban, he
has never discovered any material
distinction between the Spanish LIB
eral and the Conservative parties.
AS far as the colonies are concerned,
a change in cabinets is merely a
change of names. The Liberals have
neither the will nor the power to
grant TO Cuba autonomy in the An
glo Saxon sense. 1t matters not who
is premier, whether Canovas. Sa-
gasta. Azcarraga or Sllvela, their
feelings and actions are substantially
the same in relation to matters out.
side of the boundaries of Spain it.
self. With the death OF Canovas his
party has apparently gone. into the
background, though they hold leg
islative majority. They are willing
to grant a certain leadership to a
man of opposite politics, and this
can only mean an assurance that he
will not give up more than the Con-
servatives are willing to grant.
The fact is referred to by this
Cuban writer that when, years ago,
the leaders of the Cuban Autonomist
party presented to Senor Sagasta
their plan of limited self-government
for Cuba, he replied to their request
for support: "Gentlemen, the Span
ish statesman who would make such
change is not yet born, nor is his
mother born" When the subject
was submitted to Canovas, his answer
was: Impossible. Nothing can
prevail against the national reality"
That meant that the absolute monop-
oily of the Cuban markets was neces-
sary 10 Spain. To disturb this would
be to shake the Spanish fabric, and
no party had ever genuinely con-
sented 10 it. The offer of reforms
heretofore was but deceptive. Cuba
has been governed from Madrid in
the same manner by all parties. Real
concessions would have raised a
storm.
Ouly few days ago the cable
brought the announcement that Sa-
gasta is disposed to allow the Cubans
autonomy sin so far as it shall not be
incompatible with the infexible de-
fense of the sovereignty of Spain IN
the West Indies" Another phrase
used in the dispatch is "adminlstra-
tive autonomy The Cuban who
remembers What Spanish parties are,
what deceit has lurked in Spanish
terms, and what treachery has fol-
lowed past promises of reforms is
skeptical now about propositions to
be submitted by Sagasta. Spain in
tends to be supreme IN its colony,
and TO give it no real permission to
govern itself under mild and chief
ly nominal ownership.
Therefore, this Cuban says, his
countrymen will fight on until they
achieve independence. They dare
not stop short of that. The war of
determination may go on, but it
costs more than an equal number of
Spanish lives. OF late the insurgents
have taken the offensive, and cap
tured at least one stronghold. Spain
is losing ground in Cuba. Campos
has failed as a soldier, and Weyler
has failed as monster. BIanco
faces a more difficult situation than
they did. The purpose Of the Gu
bans is to fight it out.
