Traders were again disappointed this
morning by the Liverpool cables which
reported a decline of l-64d in that market
and prices here We're points down at the
opening. The market made feeble effort
to rally early in the day, but the bull en-
thusiasm has received a check in the last
two days, and when large selling orders
came in from Liverpool, which market
furnished our chief support yesterday, a
quick drop ensued. The execution of many
stop orders accelerated the decline. May

either serious or lasting"

"AUTONoMy A FOOLISH DREAM.-
Money Power in This Country the Obstacle
to Cuban Recognition


-. Autonomy is foolish dream.It is
evident that neither side understands
IL. wishes ii. or can administer 1t. Spain
clearly offers it to amuse this govern
ment and to gain time.
20. A majority Of the people of this
country desire to see free and inde-
pendent Cuban republic. An opposing
factor Of great force is the money DOW
er. IL is a fair conclusion to urge that
a majority Of our people believe that
the assistance Of our government til,
now has been given to Spain and with
held from che republic on account CT the
Influence that emanates from great
financial interests. usually afraid of pa
triotic aggressive movements
=. Our people have hoped for favor
able action for Cuba from the present
administration, and have patiently
waited to give the administration time
for consideration OF the wise road to
this end. That patience is now ex-
hausted.
IS. Very few Cubans and still fewer
people in this country desire immediate
annexation: but independence is clear
Iy due TO Cuban valor and sacrifices.
-. II is Of supreme importance to our
future defense that Cuba should be in
the possession OF a friendly power This
Spain has never been, and probably
never can be.
10. The friendship of the republic OF
Cuba is worth vastly more to us than
that of Spain, for reasons of business
| and defense. II is our duty and self
interest TO recognize the belligerency.
and logically following this the inde-
pendence of the republic. and to con-
clude with 1t a defensive and offensive
alliance. II this is not compatible with
a continued friendship with Spain so
much the worse for Spain. If Spain at
tscks US we can take care Of our own.
Out of the experience of our work, and
from the study of over tweny years,
this league asserts that these ten propo-
sitions are true and that their right un-
derstanding leads to the only action
which will solve the problem.
| And now. Mr.. President. IN behalf Of
those We represent. we thank you for
this opportunity to present their views.
We hope for such action on your part
as Will bring a correct solution. We
desire to state that this league and
our symrathizers have enlisted for the
war or until such time as the republic
of Cuba shall become a fact in history"
The president said he would give the
argument careful consideration.
