The conferences which are now in prog
ress at Washington between the repre-
sentauves of the Cuban national conven-
ton and the executive officers OF this
government present to the mind of the
country d very interesting spectacle. The
event VIII live in the history of Cuba.

Let us in the spirit of charity and for
bearance, copcede that the animating mo-
tive of the members of the Cuban con-
stitutioraI convention is one of true de-
vOtiOn TO their national liberties They
may be said to be jealous of those Eber-
ties. They are. perhaps, suspicious OF our
good national intent toward them. There
has been much in the plettings of the adj
ministration hangers-on and syndicate
promoters to arouse the suspicious of in
teIigent Cubans; but there has been in
finitely more in the grand devotion Of this
nation toward Cuban political and civil
liberty to cause them to set such sus-
pieions aside.
These conferences can have but one
ending. That will be the full acceptance of
the Plat amendments by the Cubans. The
essence Of those amendments is indispcn-
sible to be recognized and acted upon by
the coming Cuban republic be ore o1e stc,
