Americans have been surprised by
the evidence Of the hostility of cont.
mental Europe to the stand this coun.
try has taken on the Cuban question.
We have disclalmed a desire to annex
Cuba to the United states; we have no
race hostility to Spain or to Spaniards;
we have left to ourselves no motive to
war. and nothing to gain by success,
save to deliver the island from mIsrule
and barbarity. Yet we are described
throughout the continent as little bet
ter than brigands. 1t would be open
to us to retOrt, II It were worth while,
that France, which has dismembered
Siam and seized Madagascar; that
Russia. which has Overrun Asia; that
Germany. which has carved slice of
China. which cOvets Samoa, which de.
prived Denmark Of Schleswig. 1folstcin
and France Of Alsace. Lorraine; that
Austria Hungary, which took from
Turkey Its provinces of Bosnia and the
HerzegOvina--that not one of these
countries Is In position to reprOach
us with territorial brigandagc. IL the
charge were true. or course II Is not
that they are shocked mt the thought
that We could contemplate taking pos.
session Of Cuba. The explanation Is
doubtless twofold. In the first place.
they do not relish the idea Of the Uni.
ted States having any part In European
politics. However ready they may be
to take territory from one another, or
from sOvereigns whom they regard as
barbnrians. they do not wish America
to dispOssess one Of them Of one Of Its
colonies, even II It IL not to take that
colony as It's own. But there Is some.
thing much deeper than this. They are
all excessively Jealous Of Great Britain,
and Of Its power In all parts Of the
world. They see that this war has
brought England and the United States
upon terms, not Of alliance. but Of sym.
pathy and friendship, which IRE better
than any paper alliance. Fortunately
their OutspOken III will can do No no
harm. Not one Of them dnres. and even
all Of them combined would hardly
dare, to put their hostility In practice,
80 long rs England stands ready-as
she seems to do-to be rs active In our
behalf rs they are against us. So the
friendship Of Great Britain ut this time
Is Of far more consequence to us than
Is the yelled hostility Of all Europe.
Let us hope that John Bulls fine atti.
tude toward us may lead us all to
think Of something beside our old griev.
anceS against him.
