cleveland tHban Policy to BE Re-
vrrscd-Thc Idea of Attempting d
Settlement Conceding Spain's Soy
tr"iGnty to BE Abandoned.
y dispatch from Washington dated
Al. roth. says it is understood that
Pre~.Ien, Clevcland's Cuban policy
viii he directly reversed by the Nc
kInley administration. This does not
necessarily mean that the new admin
ls:rition will recognize the indepen-
'ivnce Of Cuba. The recognition of
Independence will depend upon the
state OF affairs existing after the 4th Of
March,. But the policy of attempting
a settlement between Cuba and Spain
which recognizes the sovereignty of
Spain will be promptly abandoned.
|; Is held by the members of the
Foreign Regulations Committee who
may be regarded as fully in accord
with Mr. Sherman, who is to direct the
foreign policy of the new administra
ton, that the policy adopted by the
new administration will be a more
radical departure from the traditions
Of the United States than is anything
proposed by the most extreme Cuban
sympathizers.
Mr., Clevcland's policy is described
as amounting to this: That, recog-
nizlng the independent sovereignty
of Spain over Cuba, Mr.. Cleveland
proposes to suggest how the island
shall be governed and to stand sponsor
for the government being properly ad
mInIStered. This involves an entan-
clement of the most extraordinary
character, and would in its operation
amount almost to a protectorate over
both Spain and Cuba as to one partc-
ular line of action. This is regarded
as the most extreme method of inter
tering, and one calculated TO lead to
no end Of ENHANCEMENT.
1t is held that if we decide that
Spain has forfeited her sovereignty
over Cuba or has failed to maintain
her power against the rebellion we
may recognize the independence Of
the island. If, however, we agree
that this sovereignty has not been dis
lodged, we have no right to dictate as
to how it shall be exercised. We may
demand that disorder injurious to our
interests be stopped, but we may not
with propricty indicate the method.
The policy of Mr.. Cleveland is
expected to be repudiated by Mr..
Mckinley. Then if the situation
warrants it Cuban independence Will
be recognized; if not the admlnis,ra-
ton will keep hands off and simply
demand of Spain to afford proper pro
teCrion to American citizens and
American interests on the island of
Cuba.
Mr.. Sherman is quoted i'll an inter
view in Piltsburg as saying that the
United States should not interfere
either TO aid in its settlement or to
procure peaceable government in
Cuba, and this is interpreted by the
writer to mean that he sustans the
Cleveland policy. Such an lnterpre-
tatIon is not regarded as warranted.
On the contrary, what Mr.. Sherman is
actually quoted as saying points to just
such a reversal of Mr.. Cleveland's pol
icy as indicated above

Waco Texas, November t3.-The excite
me'nt over the movement of the renters
TO secure concessions from their landlords
mas about died out, a majority OF the
landlords having acceded to their de-
mands. This immediate section has not
been disturbed except among the negroes
at Townsville and the white tenants at
Bruceville. The Organization of the ten
ants association seems 10 have started
