independence"
But one thing remains.
If we follow the course marked out
we must recognize the independence
of the Cuban republic and proceed
to put Spain ont of Cuba by force of
arms.
A declaration of war is the first step
after the Cuban republic is recognized.
President Mckinley, having failed to
settle the matter peaceably, will let
Congress take the final steps.

no one doubts what will follow.
There is still time for Spain to yield,
