be accomplished let Cuban independence
speedily come. American interests in Cuba
have already suffered enough. We have
patroled our coast in the interest of Spain
as long as we should, and We have spent
quite too much money in protecting our
people from epidemic diseases coming to
cur shores because of the insanitary con-
dition OF the harbor and city Of Havana.
Spain has failed to meet the requirements
of an age of advanced civilization. Let the
United States or Cuba take up the problem
and solve it. The vigor shown by our
carly statesmen in dealing, with Spain in
relation to the acquisition of Florida is a
precedent that may well be invoked in this
crisis for no one now hasitat2s to commend
the action of Monroe and Adams in dealing
with that problem"

A russian chemist is reported by the

discovered substance with most pow

to determine whether it will not be

thus anesthetizing large bodies of
troops and rendering them an easv
