 A sagaeions Spanish statesman is Senor Pr Y MARaALL He has had large experience in politics, and has been Republican for many years When the Spanish republic was pros claimed in the year 1873, he was elected President of the Executive Power; and, though he held that office for but brief period, he made 1t manifest that he was a man of intelligence and courage. Unlike EMILIO CAsTELAR, he has remained faithful to his Republican principles ever since that time and he has done what lay in his power to pre-. mote their growth on Spanish soil
 Since the Cuban war began, he has many times raised his voice in protest against the despotism which rules in Cuba. He has urged the Madrid Government to change its policy toward Cuba; he has mani- fested his sympathy with the Cuban cause; and he has frequently ex. pressed the opinion that Spain ought to put stop to the war against Cuba.
 A while ago senor Pr MARaALL published in his organ, E7 Nuro Reg 6sfn, Q disquisition on the sub- lect of American invention between Spain and Cuba. He maintained that this country would be justified, under existing circumstances, in adopting policy of interference. He illustrated his argument with examples drawn from the practice of European governments in this century, or since the termination of the Napo!eonic ic wars. In 1923 France interfertd in Spanish affairs by sending m army across the Pyrenees to restore absolutism. A few years later France, England, and Russia favored the Greeks in the war by which Greece became in- dependent Of Turkey. Some years afterward Spain interveaed in Por- tugal, as the Dona MARIA. In 1849 the Catholic powers went to Rome, crushed the new republic, and re- stored PIus K. In the same year Russia invaded rebel Hungary, and assisted in bringing it back to FRANCIS Josrpu. Ten years after- ward Frahce went to Italy and gained Lombardy for for the King of Sardinia. In 1861 France inter sened in Mexico, aud set up MAXI MILAN as Emperor there In 1873 England and France went to Egypt, which scon fell under English con trol.
 These are among the examples Of interveations by force of arms spo- ken Of py Senor pI ' MARGALL, who next turns to cates of diplomatic intervention, some of them within recent times. He refers especially l to the part played by several Euro 1 pean Governments during the war between China and Japan, and to the action of the American Govern ment in defendingVenezaela against England. Yet another case of dip lomatic intervention as striking as any in past times has occurred ! since the publication sof this article in El Nu % Regimen; we refer to the conduct of the powers shis year in the war between Turkey and Greece.
 After citing the many examples of intervention within our century, | Senor PI MARaALL agrees that the ! United States would be justified in ! intervening between Spain and ! Cuba. He believes that American diplomatic intervention in this ease would result in advantage to Spain. 1 to Cuba, to the United States, aud ! to the whole world. All nations, he says, suffer from existing war, but Spain suffers the most. New ! York .Nuu
