The policy OF the administration In

swash-buckling politicians, who keep
the country In ferment and prevent
the development of trade.
Cuba will be no better. II is not that
she lacks in true patriots. in intelligent

The cause Ia to be found In that rest

island for years. The people of the
United States. after q civil war, laid
down thsir arms, literally turned their
swords into plowshares, put of the
insignia Of strife and entered at once

since been disturbed. The conditions
