army, to parley when they believe, as
they undoubtedly do, that they are on
the eve of realizing complete success.
Spain must have been fully aware of
the slight chance of the acceptance of her
offer when she made it, and therefore it
is altogether probable, that she put it
out with no real expectation that it
would be accepted, and perhaps with no
desire that it should be, but simply for
the purpose of iutting herself in better
position with the powers of Europe.
Her unfolding attitude had alienated
tine sympathy Of all of them. Her
concession Of an armistice, she
hopes undoubtedly, will bring
them to her support and prompt
some of them 10 use their influence with
our government to induce it to modify
it's demands. This, we believe, is the
chief significance of Spain action. An
other object may be to gain time. A
large part OF Spain's feet are still sew
eral thousand miles away from Cuba,
and some of her most powerful battle
ships are yet needing repairs to make
them effective. Every days delay now
is to be her advantage and to our disad-
vantage.
We imagine that this latest move of
Spain will not make much impression
upon our Congress, unless 1t be accompa-
MED by such representations as will
make it very certain that the armistioe
is only a preliminary to final and COM
plcte withdrawal from Cuba. Nobody
would object to Spain's letting herself
down easily, and if it should appear that
her intention was eventually to retire from
Cuba, and that the delay was for the pur-
prose of gradually accustoming the Span
1sh people to the idea of giving up her
sovereignty over that island so as to avert
the danger of revolution at home, no
doubt the United States would urge the
insurgents to az cept the armistice, but
without some very strong assurance
that this is Spain's purpose and strong
guarantees that it will be carried out,
our Congress will pay little attention to
Spain's proposal.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1898-04-11
THE PROPOSED ARMIsT1oE.

At the earnest solicitation of the Pope
and under pressure from the powers,
Spain has instructed Gen. Blanco to ton
der the Cuban insurgents an armistice.
An armistice is an agreement for a
temporary cessation of hostilities, and of
course both parties to the pending con-
test must agree to it before it can become
effective. That is, the Cuban Insurgents
must accept Gen. Blanco's tender before
the armistice will be any more than a
proposal. The insurgents have always
protested that they would enter into no
arrangements with Spain for temporary
cessation of hostilities which did not car
~ with it a guaranty of independence
and they have reiterated that ttdetermina-
ton within a very short time. Certainly
a cessation of hostilities now, unless it
were understood that Spain would not re-
new the war again, would be strategical
mistake for the insurgents. The rainy
season is now close at hand when the &C
climated insurgents have great advan-
tage over the unaoclimated troops of
Spain. By oonsenting to an armistice
until the fall thoy would entirely lose
that advantage, and would give Spain
time to make preparations for the re-
cruitment Of her army and flor ITS bet
ter equipment, besides saving her troops
to large degree from the terrible ravages
that yellow fever is sure to make il they
remain in the field during the hot
months. Moreover their own army
would be sure to melt away through the
long period of reaction. 1t is therefore
scarcely possible that Gomez will listen
a moment to Blanco's tender unless some
extremely powerful pressure is brought
to bear on him. No doubt the Pope. who
has been largely instrumental in bringing
the Spanish government to the point of
making the offer, will use his influence
to induce the insurgents to accept it,
but it is exceedingly improbable
that that or any other infu-
ence will be potent enough to in
duce men who have fought SO long and
suffered SO much as Gomez and his
