Special Cable Despatch 10 THE suN.
LONDON. Sept. 37.-Cuba holds misleading
place in the newspapers here and is the
subject OF frequent editorial comment.
To-day practically every journal devotes
It's principal leader 20 the subject. Al
though II In the virtual consensus Of opinion
that the United States will intervene,
opinions differ considerably as to how far
Intervention Ia a matter Of necessity or
moral obligation, but all concur that II
1t is undertaken IL will involve the United
States In prolonged and e~xhausting opera
lions.
The Morning Post, q Conservative organ,
says that the position In Cuba typihes the
whole movement by which progressive
nations are extending civilization over less
developed one Cuba's case is hopelessly
weak. Her Government has failed abeo-
lutely to reach or to come near reaching the
lowest standards Of western civilization.
She will lose but the shadow Of nationality
gain materially in, every way.
The Telegraph CONSERVATIVE says that
events are moving rapidly and unmistak-
abiJ UOWdEu tuHfcO lHUeTNouClOH' any
landing in force by American marines
means inevitably some form OF occupation
and the subsequent Incorporation Of Cuba
into the United States. Nobody believes
that this can take place without a war OF
the type which proved such an exhaustive
drain on the resources Of Spain.
The Daily MGiI Conservative thinks il
exceedingly doubtful whether order can be
restored without an appeal to arms. 1t says
that the utmost hat can be effected by
diplomacy will be TO postpone the date Of
that appeal. The Mail. like he other
papers, emphasizes the statement that the
United States will ave to encounter the
same difficulties that faced the Spaniards,
who, on the eve of American Intervention in
1893 were unable with 10000 regulars to de-
feat the insurgents decisively.
The Express says the simplest solution
would be annexation.
Even the Radical, peace at any price
Duly Ners, does not cry out for Cuban
freedom. It says Whether We like it or
not the Americans nave come to stay.
1t will become their obvious duty TO see a
settled system Of government established
and a period put TO bloodshed and dis
order
The Chronicle Uiberal) finds it hard TO
see how intervention can be avoided, but
it says II the occupation is successful it is
most unlikely to be temporary, and the
United States will be committed to far
reaching issues.
The Tribune OiberaD says that at best
an American campaign for the conquest OF
Cuba must be a long, bloody and ruinous
adventure. At a moment when America
through President Roosevelt and Mr.. Bryan
is ~proclaining her enthusiastic acceptance
OF the ideal Of peace such a war as this,
undertaken without necessity and at the
bidding Of a financial clique, would be a
| setback to the best hopes Of democracy and
would have a reaction far beyond the New
World.
The Chronicle and Tribune couple the
negro problem in the United States with
their comments on Cuba. They animad-
vert severely upon such -pogroms' as that
at Atlanta.
