REALLY AIDING SPAIN.

By prompt action in regard TO Cuba,
which seems coming at last, this coun-
try may save Spain a revolution. The
Spanish management Of the war in
Cuba has been imbecile. 1t is costing
Spain millions. Her credit is going.
The youth of her land is being wiped
out and her reputation for prowesS
weakened the world over. 1t would
have been infinitely better for her to
have released Cuba long ago and saved
herself the expense Of life and money.
But she has held on obstinately, until
today she is not only powerless in Cuba
but quickly becoming powerless al
home The revolutionists are waiting
until she is too weak TO make a de-
fense and then they will pounce down
upon the government. Action now on
the part of the United States may help
Spain let go OF the bear and turn her
attention TO other enemies
While it is true that no interference
from our government will be taken
pleasantly by Spain, it will, in the end,
turn out that for Spain it is the best
thing that could possibly happen.
