There Is curious discussion In the Span

ating the Latin republics OF South Amer

Fl Pals contends that the Spanish repub-
les are weak through isolation. and that
If united In military and diplomatic al
lance they would be the first power IN
the world In territory. the second In popu-
Iation, and that their armies and navies
would have sufficient power 10 insure re-
erect. The newspapers point out that the
tealousies OF the republics prevent them
from taking the initiative but Spain. II IL
asserted ought to urge her lazy diplomats
10 approach the republics with the view OF
combining for the defense OF Latin inter
ests endangered by the intrusion OF the
Anglo Saxons" FL Pals thinks SPANS adj
wee would not be discarded II she warned
Latin America against the United States,
adding:
For II is well known that the greedy
Yankees. once the Panama canal IL opened
10 the worlds commerce. viii do all which
their perfiay can suggest 20 wrest II from
the Latin countries OF Central America
even az England seized the SHez canal
Tending In this direction ~ the desire of
the Americans 10 secure Cuba"
IL conclusion FL Pals says: The adj
vances of the United States In the Sea OF
the Antilles are preliminary steps in the
blockade and occupation or the future ca
nal"

tor. IN a long article. penis out that there
