rHE CUBAN PROGRAMME.

Gradually but certainly the policy to
be pursued toward Cuba by the United
States is taking shape. The Maine af-
fair can now be considered merelyas an
incident which may influence the man
ner of doing what the government has
clearly resolved upon doing; that is the
freeing of Cuba
If the report of the court of inquiry
shall justify a claim against Spain for
indemnity the claim will be made. If
Spain refuse to pay it Cuba will be
taken to settle the bill.
If she pays it the belligerency of the
insurgents viii be recognized. This will
be followed promptly by the recognition
of independence bythis government and
probably by England If Spain does
not follow suit she will be made to do
so, hence these preparations for war.
This probably is as near the program
to be carried out as the president him
self could outline in it advance. All
plans must necessarily be subject to
changes which may be brought about
by unlocked for events.
When the president first began mark
ing out his line of action it is improb-
able that he anticipated the backing Of
England.
Events have recently transpired
which render England especially desir-
GUS Of the good will and cooperation
of this country. She finds herself
friendless and alone in Asia, leaving
out Japan, with large commercial inter-
ests to protect. A combination of Ger
many, Russia and France would be
hard to overcome single handed or even
with the help of Japan.

an eye out for any choice bits of terri
