The Cnban Situation.

Apparently the end of the Cuban
war is no where in sight. The loud
protestations and pretentioEs OF the
Republican administration have ac-
complished nothing. Mckinley ls
following the programme Of Cleve
land, and until Wall street says the
WORD be will do absolutely nothing
in the way interfering. The husl-
ness men Of the country have grown
tired of this do nothing policy and
they have united in a powerful pet'-
ton to the President. 1t is a serious
appeal for peace signed by seventy
five Of the most important merchants
in New York, actually engaged in
trade with Cuba. forty two in the
city oil Philadelphia and sixty three
in other parts Of the country. These
gentlemen represent a capital OF sew
eraI hundred millions of dollars and
commerce with Cuba and other of
the West India colonies and the
South American countries amount
ing to not less than $300,000,0 900 a
year. They are not jingoes, nor
politicians, and they do not belong
to the Cuban iunta, but they ore all
serious men of affairs with large per.
sonal property aud commercial in
terests at stake.
In a respectful manner they set
forth that the Cuban war has already
cost American commerce $500, 900.
900 and is now costing not less than
100000 00 a year, without incla-
ding the capital invested in sugar
and tobacco plantations, sugar ref
neries and other manufactures, rail.
ways, mines and other interests
which have been irretrievably de-
stroyed. They call attention to the
fact that the United States is more
deeply interested in the commerce Of
Cuba than Spain, and that fact they
believe is sufficient justification for
some form of intervention to protect
American capital that has been in
vested 10 the industries and cons
merce OF the island These gentle
men offer no suggestions. They only
set forth the facts and leave il for the
president to choose his own means.
