THE MYTH EXPOSED.

Thomas Estranda Palma, for
many years 1.-THE delegate plenipo-
Tertiary aud general agent abroad"
of the so called Republic of Cuba, has
been making some confessions which
shed II hindlight on the gravest
peril and hihckcst scandal which the
United States escaped in It's relations
and wnr with Spain, suys the Chi
cago Times Herald. Mr.. Palma now
says ther was no junta or body of
men representing the Cuban Republic
in the United States. II" personally
was the sole representative" Of the
revOlutiOnists or mythical republic.
Mr.. Palma then proceeds To efface all
records of its notorious jubbing
operations in the name Of Cuban
liberty, which came within n breath
OF committing the United Suites To n
recognition OF the elusive Republic OF
Cuba. He says there was less than
81, 900. 900 collected and expended for
the Cuban fund, but he says nothing
OF those other paper millions la bonds
which he had paper authority To
issue In the name of said republic. IL
was the latter fund, distributed with
lavish responsibility among news.
papers, politicians, senator's and rep
resentativcs, which came near effect
ing "A recognition of the republic.
These bonds were hawked about
Washington in return for votes for
the Turpie resolution. The inner
history Of those fateful days has
never been written, and it can never
be told i'm all its secret plottings and
qualifications without blasting the
names Of some men who stand high
in public life. 1t wa the threatened
exposure of this trap baited with
Cuban bonds that defeated the
scheme. These bonds were to be re-
deemed at ~ cents on the dollar II
the republic was recognized. All this
resolution needed vas acceptance by
the house and approval by the
President to saddle more than $780,
DOC, 900 Of bOnds-some issued at one
cent on the dollar, but the greater
part as premiums on corruption
upon the people of Cuba. But the
President and Republican members
of the house proved equal to the &C.
caslon. Thetrue character Of the so
called republic was set out. The
secret history of the corrupt use OF
Cuban bonds was placed in the
hands OF Senator Burrows and Con-
gresham Grosvenor, who were pre-
pared to make the scandal public.
This settled the matter, especially as
the President also threatened Il veto
and a ventilation Of the shameless
affair. The final vote in the house,
on striking out the obnoxious matter
was lis for and 1876 against. Four.
teen Republicans disgraced them.
selves by voting with a solid Demo
cracy in the negative. Thus national
disgrace and scandal and a fool
resolution were put an end to.
These are the facts Of this mythical
and phantom government coming to
light and every revelation will dem.
onstrate the wisdom of President
Mckinley and a majority Of Republic
cans in the lower house In refusing
to give it recognition.
