TWO SENSIBLE UTTERANCES.

Two Of the wisest men in Congress
are Mr.. Sayens, of Texas, and Mr..
Dockery, of Missouri. The Washington
Star contains interviews with them that
show they take the right view of
the present situation. Mr.. Sayers said:
Il will not vote for an appropriation
to furnish food for the suffering Cubans
unless it be accompanied by armed in
teryention.
Conditions, in my Judgment, are such
that no such appropriation should be
made by Congress unless accompanied
by intervention, in order to put an end
to the strife.
.'Unless this be done the practical eff
feet of any such contribution by our gov
eminent to feed Spanish subjects would
be so much substantial aid to the Span
ish government.
Spain could well afford for the United
States to support her starving non
combatants while her soldiers were fight
ing those reyolutionists who were in
arms against her authority.
''This, in my opinion, is the true situa-
ton, and the administration should face
it and deal with it accordingly"
. Mr.. Dockery, '(whose father, who, by
the way was a Methodist preacher and
Democrat went to Missouri from Rich
mond county largely because of the fact
that his relatives did not like his religion
and his politics. expressed his disappoint-
mental the situation saying:
Il do not know the contemplated policy
A0f 4he administration; but it may as well
be understood now as later that the peo-
ple of the United States will disapprove
of any attempted settlement of the Gu
ban question involving the payment or
guarantee of bonds, or leaving the Span
ISL flag floating on the island, or any
action resulting in the feeding of Cuban
nen-combatants while the Spanish gov
eminent is fighting the insurgents in
the field.
IAN appropriation for relief to the
starving Cubans will be very proper
accompaniment Of armed Intervention"

HAVANA GOULD BE TAKEN.

n9In 1883. General Grant wrote to Adam
Badeau his opinion of 'the capabilities
of the harbor of Havana to resist any
navy" He said:
= "On my visit to Havana three years
ago | had the opportunity of seeing the
forts and armament. Both are fOrmida-
BILE, and with additions that could easily
be made before any country could at
tack them, impregnable from direct at
tack. But / should not regard Havana
as a difficult place to capture with n
combined army and navy. 1t would
have to be done. however, by effecting a
landing elsewhere and cutting off land
communication with the army. while the
navy would perform the same service on
the water. The hostility of the native
population to the Spanish authority
would make this comparatively easy
task for any first-class power. and es-
pecially easy for the United States in
case Of war with Spain"
In case of war the line of action
marked out by General Grant will doubt
less be followed. If in 1888, "the hos
tility of the native population to the
Spanish authority would make this a
comparatively easy task. e! landing
troops in Cuba-it is practically certain
that the Cubans would gladly help any
American troops to land.
