to make light of the strength of

a sheer that II consisted only of the
Waterman following. If the Adver-
tiser was right. then, in the light OF

vention, The Waterman has more
influence than we ever claimed for
it. We are not so conceited or silly
as to pretend that the prodiglous
gathering of republicans here last

authority from him To take such ac-

that the securing of peace by har-

impossible, have patiently withheld
their hands from thus setting aside
Cuban sovereignty until the last hope
disappeared.
This stage OF hopelessness was
reached late tonight when the great

parties refused to attend the session
of congress called to act upon the
designations of all members of the
government and declared definitely
they would have nothing more to do
with the government OF Cuba.
No sooner was the failure of to-
nights adjourned session of con
gress and the declared intention of
the government officers to no long
