While the intractable nature of Cuba's
disorders cannot but inspire thoughtful
Americans with a serious doubt as to
the wisdom of annexation"
The Daily News" in its editorial On
the Cuban situation, says: I'VE can
not doubt as 10 the ultimate issue of a
war between the United States and
Spain, but America might have a bad
quarter of an hour before victory. Flu
ropean alliances against the United
States may be left out of the question,
despite the talk of Spain's friends. The
attitude of the Spanish American re-
publics however, may give the Amegl
cans pause. The one thing needful, 81
far as England is concerned. is that
those who have so Cf1en m smanaged our
relations with the United States should
not repeat their historic mistakes. II
may be taken for granted that America
wants nothing from us but sympathy,
and that with or without that. she Will
come out of the right side. But the
United States should never forget any
moment any failure on our part to dc
prompt justice on the detestable doctrine
that Americas difficulty is Great Bri
tains opportunity. That doctrine is
sure to be preached in its own bad time
by some of our jingoes. but we must
take care that they do not speak for
