THE PRESIDENT AND CUBA.

| The Presidents message is a strong
United States for the pacifcation OF
Cuba, and for the use of force, if need be,
to accomplish it. Intervention is recon-
mended, not to free Cuba from Spanish
dominion, not to establish the republic
set up By the insurgents but to stop the
war. There is nothing in it that commits
the President to free Cuba, and there is
nothing in it which commits him to the
putting an end to Spanish sovereignty
over the island. 1t simply goes to the
extspt OF recommending intervention to
stop The war What he asks of Congress
is "to authorize and empower the
President TO take measures to secure a
full and final termination Of hostilities
between the government of Spain and the
people of Cuba, and to secure in the
island the establishment of IL stable gov .
eminent capable of maintaining order,
ensuring peace and tranquility and the
security of its citizens as well as our own,
and to use the military.and naval forces
of the United States as may be necessary
for these purposes. This clearly conteJn-
plates committing to the President the
determination of what kind of measures
shall be employed to bring about the kind
of government desired, and, If those meas.
ures require in his opinion the use of the
army and navy, the empowering of him to
employ them. In fact an affirmative re-
,, ply to his request would seem to place
the settlement of the Cuban question en-
tirely in his hands, and eliminate there.
after Congress from the question alto
gether.
| How Congress will respond remains to
be seen. Those members who have been
| insisting that the absolute freedom Of
| Cuba should be a sine qua non in any
settlement will not like it, because the
President nowhere in his message COM
mits himself to that policy. Those who
have insisted that any action on the part
of this government should be accompanied
with recognition of the independence OF
the Cuban republic will not approve
either, for the President distinctly op-
poses such recognition. Those who want
war will not find it to their taste for the
Presidents plan evidently conternplates
the use OF the army and navy as last re.
sort, and the concessions made on Satur-
day by the Spanish Cabinet open UP
bright possibilities in the direction OF
diplomatic negotiation. The conservative
members of Congress, those who have
| always held to the view that the
| only justifable grounds for our interven-
tion are to secure peace and save the
| starving people, will doubtless be in favor
OF granting the President the discretion
airy powers he asks for as the most
promising plan of pacifying the island
and averting bloody and expensive con-
fiot with Spain. Whether these members
are sufficiently numerous to control the
action of Congress remains to be seen.

and greatly reduces the danger of Iopu
lar revolution. What cannot be done
now without the oyrthrow of the present
ministry and the dynasty may perhaps
after some months of preparation be &C
complished, with hardly ripple of pub
lie exoitemeut. If the intention is to So
cure for Spain better standing with the
Powers, it is a shrewd move also, since
it is we'll calculated to that end. 1t gives
Spain the appearance, at least, of being
anxious fer peace and ready to make
some substantial concessions to secure
it. He. etofore she has persstently
declined to regard the Insurgents except as
By proclaiming an arnistice she places
them on the plane OF belligerents, and
practically admits that they may have
grievances which it is her duty to redress
before she asks their submission. This
certainly wears the appearance of desire
to step the war in Cuba and to promote
the welfare OF the island, and 1t can
hardly fail to improve her position in the
estimation of the Pc wers. At the same
time she has nothing to lose, but every
thing to gain, from military standpoint
by the delay that an armistice, whether
accepted or not by the rebel will bring
about. If the rebels accept it she will
escape the neosssi ty of a campaign in the
hot season, and thus save many of her
troops from death by disease. If they do
not accept it, as probably they will not,
the offer will serve at LEASE to delay the
United States for days, if not weeks, and
postpone cur armed intervention until
Spain is in better shape to resist. No
matter what her purpose is Spain has
everything to gain and nothing to lose by
proclaiming this armistioe. Ii it accom-
pliahes nothing more than delay for a
few days OF our Intervention, and that it
is practlcalIy certain to do, it will be a
good Investment

The battle of Atbara in which the der
wishes were routed by the Anglo Egyp
tian army, probably destroys the power
of the Mahdi in the Soudan, and in few
days we may expect to hear that Khar
toum has fallen and that the British flag
floats over it. The expedition, which
has now practically accomplished it's
purpose, started about two years ago. Its
object was to break the Mahdi's power in
the Soudan. and place that territory I'M
der British control. 1t was purely an ex-
petition of conquest, though it was
plausibly argued that British occupation
of the Soudan was necessary for the
safety Of Egypt. 1t is conquest, how.

Spain's proposition to refer the ques-

Board of Arbitration would be accept.
able. doubtless, to the majority of the
reasonable people of this country il we
were sure that Spain was guilty of moth
ing more than negligence in that matter.
But if, as is strongly suspected, and may
yet be proved, the ship was maliciously
blown up by some Of her officials, or by
their connivanoe, the American people
would refuse, and with good reason, to
arbitrate the matter. They would then
insist on the arrest and punishment of the
culprits and ask punitive damages, and
if Spain did not respond would demand
shat she be compelled to. Facts have been
cropping out from day to day which throw
more light on the Maine disaster, and un-
til there is reason to believe that all dis
coveries possible have been made, it
would be wise to hold Spains suggestion
of arbitration in allegiance.
