spondent OF the Standard saws:
| The most important feature In the new
stage OF the relations between Spain and
the United States is the fact that spaln
having granted a suspension of hostilitie..
the people Of the United States now con-
slider their hands free, as they we're no
party to tao arrangement thus made by
the pope and the powers with Spain. Their
contention is. that Spain having taken
upon herself to grant unconditionallv this
suspension of hostilities without any
mutual agreement or arrangements moth
ing can be asked or expected from Ameri-
ca, who will merely look on to see what
comes out of this sort of armis,ce and of
any negotiations between the Cuban au-
Economist government and the insurgents.
When in time events allow the United
States to judge of the results OF the sus-
pension of hostilities and OF the negotia-
lions as to home rule, America will COLI
slider herself free 10 act in accordance
with American interests and to insist up
on a permanent settlement of the Cuban
question to secure peace in Cuba: and all
simply because President Mckinley made
no engagements for the present or future
with the pope and the powers who are al
eyed to have spontaneously Induced Spain
% grant the suspension OF hostilities.
This must be borne in mind in order TO |
Understand why some OF the questions |
stand just as they were week ago This |
,nly clear result; attained, as the Madrid
government well knows, is the indefinite
of a rupture II the Ameri ,
an congress ndorses the view of Presi-
lent Mckinley and leaves him with full
covers to decide upon the best course to
pillow. according to the march of events.
