Governor Tanner Thinks the Time is Ripe
for Cuban Recognition.


Springfield, Ills, February 11.-Gov.
Tanner, in a proclamation to-day re-
questing contributions to the relief
fund authorized by President McKin-
ley, says: while | approve and sec
ond the action of the President in
this regard, it is deeply impressed upon
my mind that measures Of temporary
relief are but palliative in their nature,
and that while their effect is partly
good, it is also partly injurious and de
plorable What is demanded at our
hands, in my judgment, is prevention,
which can he secured only by using the
influence and power of the government
to put an end to the civil wal IN
Cubt, for which the time now seems
July ripe, by recognizing the Cuban re-
public and insisting that the freedom
and independence Of the Cuban peo-
pie shall be respected throughout the
world"
