CUBAN NEWSPAPERS. ANGRY.
Resent Prospect OF Label Proceeding
When They Make Reckless Charges.

Special Gable Despatch 20 TIE Sun.
HAVANA, Sept. lS.-The Cuban Press
Association held a meeting to-day and
adopted a =, resolution condemntng the
recent letter OF Gov. Magoon which
directed that a. libel suit be brought
against the Diurio Espdfol II investiga-
ton showed that the charges OF SNUG
Cling which the paper made against
the American army were untrue. The
resolution says the Governors letter
constitutes q serious menace to the
freedom OF the press. The association
appointed a committee to watch the
progress Of the investigation.
The Government is not seriously con-
cerned over the action Of the association.
Recently a number of Cuban newspapers
have made sundry, charges to which
the Government paid no attention.
Finally the Dia1o Espohol made the
charges Of wholesale smuggling against
the army and Gov. Magoon ordered the
investigation now pending.
The attitude Of some OF the papers
is we'll illustrated by the comment OF
FL Triunfo, a Gomez organ, which In an
injured tone supports the Diorio Ee-
paSol. 1t says that il Gov. Magoon's
ideas were to be followed out 1t would
be necessary for an editor to make care
full investigation Of any charges OF ir-
regularities which he might hear. Such
a course apparently seems preposterous
to Ell Trtunfo.

The third dangerous tendency Of the
Republican party Is toward Capitalization
It's leaders are inclined to overlook STATE
lines and to advocate legislation and ad-
ministrative methods which enlarge GA
power OF the central Government. The
safety OF the Union depends upon the pres
ervation OF the distinction drawn In the
Constitution between State and nation.
The nation has Its delegated powers. the
State its reserved powers. Only by the
recognition OF this division can the bal
ance between State and nation be main
tanned.
In its advocacy OF imperialism the Re-
publican party tends to ignore all const-
tutional restraints, for 1t administers a
government in the Philippine Islands with
out constitutional limitations. The ignor-
ing of the Constitution In dealing with the
Philippines tends to the weakening OF the
Constitution at home and tends also to dis
regard Of constitutional principles OF gov
eminent.
Another Republican tendency to which
call your attention Is the tendency toward
socialism. The Republican party Is loud
in its denunciation OF socialism. but IL per-
mits abuses which furnish an argument
to the socialists. 1t cultivates the Idea
that the Government must act as wet
