Is There Conspiracy Against Cuba.

There has beer much romancing
concerning the Cuban war but so much
has been said of late about an under
standing between the administration
and the Spanish government and a
mutual endeavor to save Cuba in
some form to the Spanish nation, that
probably some of it is true. 1t is very
evident the administration would be
greatly opposed to the annexation of
Cuba as would many in this country.
But President Cleveland is just the
kind of man to let fear of such an
event drive him into unreasonable and
untenable positions, and in endeavor~
ing to prevent foreign acquisition en-
tangle the country in some scheme for
aiding Spain to govern Cuba. We all
remember what happened when Hawaii
was under discussion and there are
good grounds for believing that any
sympathy he may have had for the
people who are struggling to be free
from Spanish tyranny has been lost
sight of in his desire to have the mat
ter settled. regardless of how that may
be done. OF course the administration
would claim great credit for bringing
to end a war, the existence of which
it has not yet recognized. But
claiming and securing are two differ
ent things. If it shall be shown that
honorable settlement. has been OBJ
tanned, honorable alike to the three
parties concerned, Spain, Cuba and
the United States, then let the admin
istration have credit in full measure,
pressed and running over. If on the
other hand the administration brings
pressure to force unjust terms upon
the insurgents at time when hope of
success is bright such action will
deserve the condemnation of every
earnest, loyal American. There is
fear. apparently not unfounded, that
the administration is disposed to do
this. 1t may appear that Money spoke
so freely of Lees belief that the in
surgents would win, because of fear of
what the President and his secretary of
state are doing. Perhaps this also ac-
counts for the report. not authenti-
Gated at time of writing, to the effect
that the insurgents in a brilliant
charge captured the city of Santa
Clara and are moving on Havana.
One thing is pretty certain, abso-
lutely SO it seems, and that is what
ever in the way of negotiation is going
on between the administration and
Spain is carefully concealed from the
representatives of the insurgents in
this country. And while the report
that terms of settlement. said to be
pending. have been agreed to by Gen.
Gomez. there is nothing to prove that.
On the contrary Gen. Castillo. one OF

Doubtless some of the praise lavished
upon the arbitration treaty is extrava-
giant. The treaty does not contemplate
the settlement of all questions and if
it did would be imperative in case a
question should arise which either
party did not want to arbitrate. There
it nothing compulsory in effect about
il. AS has been pointed out the de-
lays of diplomacy can be exercised I'M
der it and questions he continued until
such time as the treaty may have ex-
pired. 1t is probable that disputes will
be settled under it much in the same
way and with the same results as here
tofore. Yet the treaty, if it shall be
shown to have been properly framed, is
a cause for congratulation on the part
of all living signalizes very emphati-
cally the growth of sentiments favor
able to peace and hostile to war; it is
an encouragement to all who strive for
peaceful adjustment rather than settle
ment by the sword; II will leave an in
