answer Of d.savowal, but that was not
enough For this grave act, Spain must
make due amends, and our own interests
demand that the mighty power Of the gov
ernment should be interposed to stop the
carnival of crime and suffering and re-
store peace to the island of Cuba, until
some suitable governments may be formed
which shall be a guarantee to US, and to the
nations of the earth tha. 1t will at all times
In future be ready and will.Ug to discharge
its domestic and international obligations.
Continuing Mr.. Fairbanks said: eve
desire and hope to see the independence OF
Cuba secured, but 1 am not prepared at
present to favor the recognition of the In
dependence of the present so-called repub-
tic of Cuba. We know but little about it.
1t is too nebuious, too mythical. to be IN
vted into the family of nations by our po-
tential act. There are doubtless among
the citizens of the island those capable of
forming and establishing a government
which will be Stable and secure, and which
will be guarantee that the Cuban question
is settled for all time to come. Itseems 20
me, therefore, that the first imperative
duty resting upon us rs to establish tram
guilty in the island, relieve the suffering
and distressed. and then enable the citizens
of the island to deliberate and form gov
ernmert upon such lines as their highest
and best interests may require. The an
is too full of rumors as TO the character Of
the present so-called Cuban republic, and
as to the bonds which have been Aoated in
this courtry and said to be in the hands
of spectators, to jus tify us in any hasty
act of recognition. We must intervene
and let the majority rule"
In conclusion, he said:
eve shall now have the satisfaction of
knowing that, come what may in the lo,-
terry of war, we have left undone nothing
which could be done consistently with
honor to secure pacific settlement, the
Spanish flag must be withdrawn, and cease
forever to contaminate the air of this
hemisphere. To the high and holy cause
we dedicate the lives and fortunes of the
republic
