Edmunds. Mr. Edmunds holds with
A Attorney General Griggs that durable
grants I'm the island ought not to be made
as they might embarrass the expected new
goyernment Of Cuba, when it shall cume
into occupation but he declares that es-
tablishing telegraph wire on the prf.
vate property OF the new company and
extending 1t to the United States, cannot
possibly infringe this principle and poll
cy. He expresses the view that, while the
Spanish grant of 1866 ran for forty years
its exclusive rights were to be co-equa

1882 He holds that forcihle prevention
Of the new oompany's landing In Cuba

that the whole matter be laid before the
