Spain's Vaeillatson.

One OF the weak points of the Span
ish government Is the vaclllation and I'm
trinity which has Characterised almost
every act in connection with the war,
and during the events which led to the
declaration of hostilltIes. II is suggest
ed by writer on the subject that there
never was time previous to the Maine
explosion, and the consequent breaking
out of the war, when Spain could not
have saved Cuba by making concessions
which were demanded, and which the
powers of Europe, as well as America,
regarded as reasonable. At that time
the Cubnns could have been induced to
accept the concessions, as the design OF
the United States was to secure them
practical home rule. But Spain promised
and never acted. There was a vacIl-
Iatloa which tried the patience Of all
concerned; promises were broken, and
finally, when autonomy was tried, it
was not only too late, but was not the
genuine article.
This uncertainty and lack OF firmness
Of purpose on the part of Spain, which
have been so Characteristic OF every
war movement that government has
made, caused the whole world to attach
little Importance to the sailing Of Ca
mara's feet for the Philippines, A con-
temporary, the Chicago Thnes-H Herald,
recalls that a; the time Camara sailed
1t wondered Il the admiral was about
to repeat the exploit Of the French king

what everybody wondered, and now

sample OF the Irresolute policy OF the

contemporary remarked, Is Ito give or

Spanish ministry and naval authorities
have been of daily occurrence.
