violently amended to secure the negro

From the Philadelphia Record Dem).

Secretary Alger will urge Congress to
build a railway across Cuba as a military
necessity. Cuba fairly reeks with mill
tary necessities; but the necessities of our
home government will have first claim
upon Congress and the treasury. Nor Is
1t quite clear how the federal legislature
can be asked to build a railway in
country which it has declared free and
Independent, and which may never be fit
for either annexation or statehood.

plan OF military and naval campaign for

without the consent OF the authorities.
Whenever the persons who have the
constitutional authority to command
go contrary to the plans furnished by
the yellow journals. they must look out
for the Inflammatory denunciations Of
their incompctency. To dare 10 20
