turns to Africa shortly to take an ex-

to Liberia and Sierra Leone. Bishop
Hartzell, judging from his experiences
during his recent sojourn on the west

other countries, is inclined to take pes

A POLICY OF DIsHoNoR.

The dispatches from Washington
outline the policy of interference in
Cuba said to be favored by Mckinley
and the administration senator's. 1t
purposes to assert the right of the
pI esident and congress to "review"
the Cuban constitution and to insist
upon certain stipulations before with
drawing our troops. These condi-
lions include a naval base for our
warships,a prohi bition against Cuba's
borrowing money from foreign ma
tions without our consent, and the
submission to treaties with foreign
powers to this government for APP
proval.
This claim of suzerainty is far more
stringent than highlands demand
upon the Boer republics. 1t repudi-
ates the solemn disclaimer of this
country of ''any disposition or inten-
ton to exercise sovereignty, Jurisdic-
ton or control over Cuba. Lest we
forget what that disclaimer was, let
US repeat it:
That the people of the island OF
Cuba are, and of right ought to be.
free and independent.
THAT the United States hereby
disclaims any disposition or intention
to exercise sovereignty. jurisdiction
or control over said island, except for
the pacification thereof, and asserts
it's determination when that is &C.
complished to leave the government
and control of the island to the peo-
ple."
This administration policy also ig-
nores the recent decision of our SUI
preme court that Cuba il a foreign
country and as such entitled to every
right of free and independent
people.
Should this policy of dishonor be
adopted, the suspicion will ripen into q
fact that the administration is aiming
to create q new instruction to justify
the benevolent assimilation" of
Cuba.
Even the Chicago Times-Herald. a
republican journal. denounces the
policy in a double-leaded column edi-
torial as '.perfidious."
