Look Out for snakes.

The predictions OF this journal again
are verified. Western newspapers reach
ing the capital on Saturday and Sunday
show that the scheme of Intervention in
Cuba, on the basis of making the Cubans
shoulder the Spanish Cuban debt is In
full operation.
There is excellent evidence that the
Ad.niuistra ton is inspiring dispatches
from correspondents here inning that It
would be a great boon to the oppressed
people Of the island to secure them their
ish debt.
These dispatches refer to an assumed
understanding that the Cuban patriots
are willing to buy the independence which
their arms have won. Nothing could be
more false Six months ago, probably,
they would have been willing TO pay Spain
cne hundred million dollars to quit the
country. Today they would notpay accent,
and would resent the suggestion as q
malicious insult
All the same, the Atkins-Long-H II aie-de
LONE combination is at work to have the
United States intervene with all its mill
tary and naval power to compel these poor
Cubans to break their backs with debt
of four hundred million dollars, that our
allies, the holders OF the Spanish bonds,
and the AnSle-American sugar trust, may
be kept whole in pocket
To this development we earnestly call
the attention OF the Senate.
