Considerable feeling is manifested
here the last week regarding the
Cuban-Un States situation. The
administration at Washington is out
spoken against on all sides. 1t looks
as though the United States was taking
pm the same farce like nature as the
pagasta Autonomy scheme. 1t is little
worth while for Delawares executive
officer to call for aid when that already
sent on the steamer Vigilancia arriving
50 tn 1Ort of Havana Jan. Sth, is still
21-d permission to pass into the
bands of COunsul General Lee for dis
tributiOn among ten thousands of
starving and suffering Cubans. The
writer has never doubted the wisdom
and ability on the part Of the Nations
Chlef to administer justice alike to for
elSn affairs as well as domestic, but
ge are unable to understand and per
haps we will not be responsible for
this affair should it not be best.
