La Lucha Says Spain Intends to Keep
Cuba if She Can.


HAVANA, June 1S.-La Lucha in an en-
ergetic editorial on the Cuban policy of
Senior Canovas says: Cuba will not be sold
nor coded; neither will her annexation to
any other nation be allowed. Countries are
not sold like estates. Higher and priceless
interests exist. The mother does not sell
her child. She may be compelled to leave
or abandon it after making all sacrifices to
save it and to keep it in her own possession
In such q struggle it is glorious to sue
coed, but in failure it is dishonor. The
Cuban problem is a family affair. 1t is like
a lawsuit by a father against a son or a
son against a father. The pure Spanish race
is struggling against itself. To-day the con-
testants are reconciled; tomorrow they kill
one another. To-day they share their suf-
IeringS, tomorrow they pardon one an
other.
A morning newspaper which is the organ
of the Spanish admiralty here contains an
editorial strongly censuring the American
government for retaining Consul General
Lee, who 'unworthily fills high position
of almost diplomatic rank 1t says he
must surely be retained because he has the
full approval of the government, for he is
opposed to it in politics. The paper adds .
