SPANS LATEST APPEAL
San Diego Union: Spain continues to
protest to the Powers of Europe that
she is right in her controversy with
the United States. The latest Spanish
note on this subject, which has just
been forwarded to the various Foreign
Offices, rehearses the old story of Amer
ican aid to filibusters and the liberal
treatment accorded to Cuba under the
/
! by saying: Being convinced, as Spain
/ is. that right and equity are on her side,
she will not and cannot surrender her
sovereignty in Cuba
OF course the real purpose is to touch
! Europe on very tender point, and that
| is the right to hold colonies and to
discipline them when they are not prop
erly submissive. 1t is here that the
| 6yi6 fof nd hn
ground on which all Europe may stand
with them The assumption really is
that sovereignty over a colony is a
matter of such sacred right that any
course is justifiable in its defense.
| Spanish appeal finds no occasion to so
into the matter of wholesale starvation
and butchery in Cuba
This latest protest from Spain is like
ly to receive precisely the same con-
sideration that was given by the great
Pow/3 to the tricky, lying notes that
were addressed to them by Turkey dur
ing the late Armenian troubles. The
Constantinople effusions were plausible
enough, but everybody knew that they
were not made in sincerity. and that
they were not founded on fact.
M'KINLEY KNEW
Yreka Journal: President Mckinley
did no fretting because Congress took
whole week to act upon his message
ON armed intervention in Cuba, while
the general expectation was that the
business would be done in two days
at the outside; he knows what response
bility is. That the delay has been
beneficial to the Government may be
seen from the following language, used
by member of the Cabinet to an i'm
patient friend who was repeating the
argument used on all sides against the
apparent hardness both of Congress
and the President: Nobody has the
remotest idea how unprepared we were
when Congress made the appropriation
of $50GC0,00C AS a matter of fact,
there were not five rounds of ammuni-
ton in a fortified place in the country
and the ships did not have ammuni-
ton enough to fight anything. We were
simply ready in an amateurish manner.

follows her husband to the bail, en-
ploying a female detective to spy upon
him The detective not knowing OF
the strangers impersonation of DoWne,

tinctly Hoytian situations. One OF the
best of these occurs in the last dct'
where the real MIR. DOwne is imprisoned
in an elevator between floors to get MN
out of the way. The stranger then
informs him that his wife is on her
way to the ball in search of him. In
