but there is no doubt that it will have
an important bearing on the future
policy OF the Cubans in this country,
who are striving 10 secure action IA
Yorable TO them from the United States

The present administration. il is now

tude Of strict neutrality between Spain
and the Cubans. and will not favor one
side or the other so long as there is
not open and fagrant violation of the
laws Of the United States or the laws
OF nations. II is understood that the
Spanish minister has been plainly in
formed Of this policy. and that he did
not relish the Straightforward manner
in which the information was impart-
cd 10 him.
The impression seems 10 prevail in
well-informed circles that the senti-
ment OF the present Congress in favor
of justice being shown 70 the Cuban
reyolutionists is even more pronounc-
ed than that Of its predecessor, and
many. expect that when the House I'm

be made the subject Of discussion by
the lower body OF Congress. The ac-
ton now being taken by various state

tions and associations demanding some
definite settlement OF the war in Cuba
viii be the means BY which the atten-
