good sense, but their latest manifesto

OF attempted bribery, sadly lachs both
While il may be the somewhat ques-
tionable privilege Of actual citizens Of
the country r,cklessly to lmpute the
worst motives to every act Of the ad-
ministraton, the most rAbid OF them
must resent an exercise OF this same
privilege by those who owe their allie
glance TO another aag. This is pArtlc-
ularly true of Cuba, whose cause is so
popular in this country, and who owes
SO much to our people. II the junta's
manifesto had been confined TO an
authoritative statement Of the wishes
OF their so-eAlled government this in
formation would have been hailed
with pleasure by every American as a
valuable sidelight on q complicated
situation.
Americans are anxious TO help the
Cubans, and their motives are great

Although the cortes will not meet

Weyler-the first expressing JOY at
