agreed to hy The government at Mad

If the United States desires 10 secure
the freedom Of Cuba, which is The only
assurance Of The permanent paciiication
of the island it must intervene BY force
to bring it about. The President under
stands this now; and so does everybody
else. And any further suggestions Of de
lay must be made with fun comprehen-
sion of the fact that delay is merely =
Spanish subterfugc and an obstacle in the
path OF effective intervention. There
would be no idea of paying any attention
To the Spanish proclamation We're it not
for a reluctance to ignore the wishes OF
the powers who have been instrumental
in securing it and regard for the feel
ings OF the Pope whose mediation the
proclamation is chiefly due.

sideration that the Spanish minister of

government which acknowledges it. But
the time for tcchnicalities has gone by
