The Presidents plan of asking Con-
gress for an appropriation to feed the
starving reconoentrados will not be carried
out Immediately, as was originally in
tended, because it is feared that in
it's present temper Congress might tack
on to it q condition looking toward armed
Intervention. Obviously such a condition

pose of the appropriation. If we are going
to succor the reoonoentrados we must re-
frain from armed intervention. The latter
policy is utterly incompatible with the
former.

CONCERNING AN ARMIsTICE.

our government an armistice in Cuba
to extend over number of months and
that the proposition is under con-

parties to an armistice must be the
contending factions that is, to bring
about an armistice in Cuba the in

The state of mind which Congress is in,

completely backs down and comedies the
independence of Cuba.

The Board did not fix the responsibility
for the blowing up of the Maine upon
any person or persons, but its report and
the evidence upon which it was founded
did disclose state Of facts which went
far to show that the Spanish authorities
were not without fault in the matter. If
they did not directly connive at the
crime. A mine Of the size of that under
the Maine could not have been put there
except under the direction Of the Spanish
Authorities. The Spanish officials must
have had charge Of the machinery by
which it could be exploded. If they so
carelessly guarded this machinery that an
outsider could get access to it and set of
the mine they would seem to have been
guilty of negligence, if of nothing worse.
