Problem Can be Reached withaut a
R,,or, to Force OF fhrms--That Govern.
ment Announces that 1t IIn. No Objec.
ton to til. IIumanltarian. Policy OF the
United States Toward Cuba.
WASHINGTON, March 2s.-The spe-
cIal cabinet session was held to so over
the Presidents message and more par
tlcularly TO consider the latest develop
mcnts in the negotiations now proceed
ing with Spain. These had assumed a
wide field, embracing not only the
Maine question but the entire Cuban
problem.
The answer OF Spain was at hand, to
the firm mole sent through Minister
Woodford last week, stating the condI-
tlon OF Cuban affairs had become SO In
,olerable that the United States could
not much longer remain inactive to-
ward II.
THE GENERAL TONE OF THE
SPANISH ANSWER IMPRESSED
THE PRESIDENT AND CABINET
OFFICERS MOST FAVoRABLY, so
MUCH so THAT AFTER THE MEET
ING IT WAS STATED BY MEMBERS
THAT THE OUTLOOK WAS FAR
MORE ASSURING. AND THAT
SPAIN HAD SHOWN SUCH A CON-
|CILIAToRY TONE THAT IT WAS
BELIEVED SHE WOULD MAKE
CONCESSIONS SUFFICIENT TO
PERMIT AN AMICABLE ADJUST
MENT OF THE PRESENT STRAIN
ED RELATIONS.
THIS WAS QUALIFIED, .HoWEv-
Err, BY THE STATEMENT THAT
THE DANGER LINE HAS NOT YET
PASSED, ANDiTHAT WAR, WHILE
no LONGER "a PROBABILITY, WAS
YET \ POSSIBILITY. THE PRESI-
DENT HAS e DISTINCTLY DIS
CLOSED TO HIS CABINET ASSoCI-
.ATEs HIS PURPOSE TO AVERT
WAR IF IT WAS POSSIBLE WITH A
Just SOLUTION OF THE CUBAN
PROBLEM, AND HE had FELT,
FROM THE DISPOSITION MANI
FESTED BY SPAIN, THAT THIS
JUST SOLUTION COULD BE REACH
ED, THIS, HOWEVER, is WITH
ouT CONSIDERING CONGRESS,
WHICH MAY, NOW THAT THE SUB
IECT is FORMALLY BEFORE IT,
TAKE SOME RADICAL ACTION.
Meantime at the state department ca
Diagrams were being received from Min
!stes Woodtord, and the Spanish minis
ter. Senior Polo de Bernabe, was in
lengthy conference with Judge Day as
10 the prospective adjustment The
meeting between the Spanish minister
and Judge Dny came after the cabinet
conference so that such representation
as spain submitted through him did not
get before the cabinet
AT LEAST TWO OF THESE NEW
PHASES SUBMITTED BY THE MIN
1sTER WERE OF EXCEEDING M
PoRTANCE. THE SPANISH Gov
ERNMENT MADE IT KNOWN THAT,
no OBJECTION WOULD BE MADE
TO THE HUMANITARIAN OBJECTS
OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERN
.AENT IN EXTENDING RELIEF TO
THE SUFFERERS IN CUBA. ON A
GREATER SCALE THAN HITHERTO
HAD BEEN CONTEMPLATED.
On tho contrary. Spain has made
sno"n mat 1t recognizes the humane
pu7poses animatlnS this country and
tnat II does not doubt that these pur-
eoSes VIII be executed In such way as
"sFoid all opportunities for friction. 1t
u not expected that the relief will be
G]'F!eI IN warships as this would Intro
nage a political aspect into Il project
waco IS purely humane. This acQu.es-
TsnCc n ny Spain clears the way for the
s'ss!aehts message of the next few
nays asking 4 large appropriation for
TIE 'eIiet OF destitution In Cuba.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT SPANISH
DOCUMENT WHICH REACHED THE
GOVERNMENT TO-DAY WAS THE
AsSrRAcT OF THEs REPORT OF
lHE SPANISH NAVAL COMMISSION
WHICH INVESTIGATED THE DE-
srRucTIoN OF THE MAINE. 1T Is
THE ONLY ANSWER SPAIN HAS
mus FAR MADE TO THE ACTION
UP THIS GOVERNMENT IN SUB
MLTFlNG TO sPA1NTHRoUGH MN
iaIER WooDFoRD, THE FINDINGS
Wv TIE AMERICAN COURT. THE
goNcLUsIoNs REACHED by THE
DANISH COMMISSION ARE d.
nEcTiY THE OPPOSITE OF THOSE
oE THE AMERICAN COURT. NO
DEMANDS HAVE BEEN MADE IN
toNNBCTIoN WITH THE MAINE,
md IND, THEREFORE, THERE is NO
