by the hitherto most Incorporating elements
of the Spanish party. As far as the press in
Cuba is allowed to express its views, the editorial
condemns Gen. wcyler's policy and methods Of

which all the Spaniards here are raising. The
concluding paragraphs Of this editorial say:
1.-THE evil in Cuba is and has always been that
tho direction Of colonial affairs is in Madrid, and
that more care is given to the personal interests
of the Spanish politicians than to the welfare
and interests of this country. Such has been tho
real cause of tho revolution, and the responsi-
bility for 1t rests upon all the Governments that,

posed that the bills would be footed as usual by

Philadelphia on May is, 1897. and this appro-
priation is intended to cover the expenses Of the

ceremonies.
II withhold my approval from this bill be-
cause l believe 1t to be an improper expenditure
duty Of the Legislature to attend public occa-
sions Of this kind in their official capacity, how

In principle the appropriation cannot be de-
Tended, and although there may be legislative
dent that would be more honored in the breach
than in tho observance"
