What business has the United
States 10 Cubs7 is the leading ques-
ton in Europe. The States framed
an ultimatum to Spain, which could
only be answered as it was by the
proudest nation in Europe. The
declaration Of war was virtually
transmitted before the ultimatum
was presentnd, and the civilized
world is now anxiously awaiting the
first report Of the clash OF arms be-

waiians voice in governing their
own country, demand for the Cuban
rebels government for anu by the
people. They do not remember that
the aborigines of Cuba are the scum
of the earth and solely controlled
by the Catholic Church, while the
Hawaiians, who pray for self-gov-
ernment, are the equals, ii not
