you may regard Mr.. Low, [ am conscious

to believe that in the administration OF
any public duty shall be one whit less
scrupulous than he or any other man
And in addition [ shall be a Republican

Taylor, late minister to Spain, reviews
the Cuban question in the North Amerl-

Spain herself has demonstrated that
she is powerless either to oonoiliate Cuba
or to conquer it. Her sovereignty over
it Is, in my humble judgement, now ex,
tinct 'tfor all purposes of it's rightfu
existence, and the hopeless struggle
for it's re-estabtishment has degenerated
into strife which means nothing more
than the useless sacrifice of human life
and the utter destruction of the very sub
ieot matter of the confliGb itself
1t is great folly to suppose that the
Cuban question is something that we
can set aside il we will and 90 about our
own business. 1T has 1ntruded itself into
