An Englishman,s view.

LONDON, Aug. 1S.-The Times continues
to print letters from Havana strongly anti
American. 1t is asserted that thousands of
innocent women and children are being
starved to death because the Americans are
incapable of carrying into effect their boast
that they would capture Havana in fort
night Though the reconcentrados are
starving. it is alleged the insurgents are
well supplied with food by the Americans,
who, with the Cubans, are apparently con-
tent to pursue a safe and inglorious war
with famine and dynamite bombs weap-
ons. Havana correspondents of the Times
predict that no matter whether the indie
pendence of Cuba or the annexation of Cuba
is arranged for, there is no chance for
peace in Cuba during years to come, be-
cause the Cubans, disappointed in their ef-
forts to obtain spoil, will probably continue
their rebellion and brigandage.
