The Times editorial is based upon let
ters from Madrid describing the situa-
ton, the second Of which appears today
dated oct. Is. The writer, prefacing his
remarks by saying that circumstances
and not American pressure produced
change Of ministry" discusses the note
in ODractically the same terms as are
used in the editorial. He comments on
the fact that while amiably expressed
tbs note hints it's intentions in a man
ner having a disagreeable resemblance
to the consecrated phrase OF diplomacy
wiser aux moyens.' which in a similar
European document would have the
character Of rn ultimatum.
If the truth must be told, General Wood
ford's amiCable assurances are regarded
by Spaniards as little beyond polite
phrases signifying nothing. and intend
ed TO cover unjustifiable aggressive de-
signs.
The fact that the insurrection was
originally Matched in America and is
supported from there IS considered
proof that the Americans mean TO
possess Cuba, and the tender of their
good Cftices is regarded as a step in
that direction. In support of this view the
American correspondents of the Madrid
