But to start a movement in this country
at this time for the annexation OF Cuba
is practically to start movement to re-

deny to the Cubans what We promised
them. Inevitably its effect will be to
start rebellion in the island against our
authority and postpone indefinitely paoifi-

and from there sends 20 the Boston Globe
a very uncompaimentary account Of Gen.
Otis's management OF the campaign.
According to his story Gen. Otis has spent
his time and strength on matters of mere
detail which any clerk was competent to
handle and has neglected the large
matters which IL was his business to
manage. He is represented as being ex-
