Tlis Future of Cuba.
Some peculiar opinions continue to
be express"d In this country eoneprnlng
i he Cuban Insurgents. Mr. William R.
Curtis, for Instance, v hose lack of
aympathy for them has lone been
nanlfest, now admits that Cuban Inde-
je'idenco Is Inevitable, hut he adds that
i the president has not at any time con
templated the recognition ot the Insur
gent provisional government or the re
ception of the Cuban delegate, Tomas
Kslrada Palmo. According to Mr. Cur
tis the ptesldent considers that the In
surgents are a bad lot, not representa
tive of the real opinion and aspirations
of the Cuban people, and chiefly ani
mated by the ambition to secure power
and plunder. Similar views creep Into
print from time to time, sometimes j
wit p. high Indorsement, but just who
the good men of Cuba sire those who
dlxM'tnltiut ; these opinions neglect to
explain.
Let us look at this matter, theiefore,
In the light of common sense. The In
surgents control one-half of the island
absolutely nnd have established over
this area ; government, crude perhaps,
and open to much Improvement, but
certainly far better than the cliao.i
which marks Spain's nominal rule In
the Spanish part of the island outside
the fortified cities. These Insurgents
repieseat the onlj force of nay conse
quence, political or military, which
Hands out agalnM Spain for Cuban
freedom. They have fought for free
dom, .suffered for freedom. In many In
stances sacrificed all their property and
tin- lives of many pel sons near and
dear in them, Including mothers, fath
er.i, wives ami childieu, in pursuit of
this aspiration. If they liar; not done
this no Cuban In Cuba would stand to
day any show whatever of getting more
liberal government: Spain would not
have proffered even the unsubstantial
autonomy now nominally In vogue in
the Spanish cities in the island and
there would have been no prospect of (
American intervention for the estab
lishment of freedom In Cuba on a per
manent basis. To the Initiative of the
insurrection as lepreseiUed by Valina
and ijoiiu'Z and llasso is owing all that
has thus far been done In the direction
of Cuban liberation and all that will ho
done In that direction In the near fu
tttte. To say that Hie piesldent of the
I'nlieil States will not loeosnize the
Cubans who havp borne the hi tint of
('uha'a battle for liberty is equivalent
to callins him a fool, and anybody with
penetration can perceive that William
McKinley is not that.
The republic of Cuba which this re
public w 111 recognize and protect is the
republic set up by the llKhtcrs for Cuba,
not one made to fit the fastidious no
tions of the handful of Cuban autono
mists, who correspond to the Tories of
our own i evolution, In that they are
willing to lick the hand that smites
them. It may be necessary when this
republic is put In charge of Cuba's
destiny to broaden It at the base and
call into leacue with it tho conserva
tive and substantial citizenship of the
Island, native and Spanish. Tills will
lay foundations for a wise and per
manent growth, and if the United
States shall take a hand In ejecting the
Spanish military forces and In lowering
Spain's Hag it will not hesitate aftcr
vvnul to take a hand in the reconstruc
tion of affalis. W'e would have the
Hume tight so far as the Insurgents are
foncerned that we now propose to exer
i ise toward .Spain; that is to Kay, the
niihl of Intervention in behalf not only
of "tir own cominerchil intorcrits but
also of humanity. Wp would neces
wirllv surround the new government in
Cuba with our moral support and guid
ance, even colng so far, if nec.ssity
compelled, to declare an American pro
tectorate, hinting until the Island
should piovc its readlnesri to ','oveni it
self. Hut t!ip basis of our recognition and
teeonstructle tniluenco would be the
republic proclaimed and for tlnco yeats
fought for by Hits Cuban insutgetUBj
and the men who would deserve our
Hi st and greatest consideration would
be the patiiuis who dared whllo others
dallied.
It is a :uto guess that when the 58,
000,000 worth ot war supplies which our
government lias purchased In ICutope,
shrill have been anchored at dock In
Yankee watciw there will be very little
tardiness In L'ncle Sam's subsemient
movements in tho direction of liberat
ing Cuba.

Spanish garrison bag and bnasagc, leav
ing th Inhabitants of the Island to decide
their own destiny and government, tree
from all foreign inttifcience. The pur
pose Is settled. Tho object l clear. The
resolution is formec. Nothing that Spain
can do or say can now prevent or del ly
tho steady, methodical execution of this
policy, vith force If it is necesrary, but
with no mote force than Is necessary. On
this all are agreed, and the past six
weeks have made it clear to all the world.
Including Spain, that the I'nlted States
has, at the precise point of contlict and
contest, an overwhelming force.

times as strong. Whatever will and pol

It can execute, liven ct Madrid vaporing

point out to Spain that icsislance will be

weeks ago. It appeared to most men could
only be gained bv war and battle. Presi
dent JIcKIiiIh has achieved this by moral
foico backed by visible physical power,
and tho achievement gives him a Just an.
itiurity and inllueii'-o with congress and
tho country.
o
Tim president, speaking with ibis au
thority and looking back on six month
of uninterrupted success In dealing with
Cuba, has only hi his message to lay be
foro congress und the counliy a clear und
decisive, course of action which looks to
thu ends both deslro to find both accept
ing the means ho proposes. It Is not
war iho country wants, but Cuba free
and the Spaniard expelled. Spain has
thus fur steadily retreated as the United
Slates has advanced. Our advance has
only to be continued to continue the ic
treat of Spain, and the Instant resistance
cornea force should la used, hut until
force is necessary wur is not necessary.
In the contact between two nations sit
uated as aro the United States and Spain
a wide margin exists of action before war
Is reached. Spain can, if it pleases, rush
to war In futile reslotnnre, but the t'altcd
States is only called upon to move for
ward alone the policy It 1ms announced,
accepting war when It comes, but not
before. Spain by Its own Impotence and
cruel oppression has lost Its rights in
Cuba as tho Impartial opinion ot the en
tire Ihigllsh press Irani tho Times down
has been asserting for weeks and as Ku
ropo now tacitly admits. It remnlni tor
tho t'nltrd States to stop forward nnd
exercise an authority as universally ad

o
The president and congress, backed by
tho country, hnve now only to make the
needed enactments and appropriation to
execute our policy. A declaration of wai
ls no more necessary to do this than It
has been to secure the paramount posi
tion and authority the I 'titled States lit
rraily possesses nnd wlehR In duo ordT,
suceoi to the starving, aid to the Cuban
t "public, and the departure of the Span

th("e duties will bring Its succerslve re
sponsibilities and each must be taken,
backed by naval and nillltaiy force. If
Spain resists, so much the worse tor
Spain. The horror and loss of war will
exist by her at t and not by ours. The
t'nlted States has once for all to show
the world that It Is the custodian ot the

From tho Lcntlon Chronicle
Let. us Imagine bow wo should feci aal
what weshoutd do wcr? a similar Bccn j
ol horrorbelngenaeted as near to our own
coasts as Cuba is to the coast 01 riorku.
Supposing the Channel Islands wtto In I
revolt aBahist a government which was ,
only another name for systematic, organ- I
Ued roljhtry-a robbery which had been
going on for g nerntlons. Supposing tint i
our peoplo owned Immense, propertlcb In
theso ishinils which were being ruined -that
120.0IHI soldiers had uuccuinheil to bat
tlo and disease In vainly trying to stip
nress the rebellion; that lhl had been in
firogrcss lor three years; that our goverr
tacnt had spent millions hi patrollns our
coasti to prevent any aid being given to
the Insurgents; that the peoplr ot the
Island- were b"lng starved and torttlted
as though they tvero the suli.lects ol the
sultan;aiid tha tho humane efforts of our
own government and people were treated
us hostile acts toward the power
iT-;; :
held the Islands down. This would
pal u lie! case to that of Cuba, which Is
almost within sight of the r'lorlda coast
which Is wrecked and ruined, and which
is vet completely uncoiiqupred ami ua
( otKiuerahl". We do not wish to say a
word ,u variant! with Hie just spirit ol
International law, but there Is no Knu
llshman livliiu who would not call his
government to Intervene in tho pure In
terests of humrnlty and, wc may add
there is no Urltlsh government that we
can conceive ot which would not have In
tervened long beloro now.
Thi patience of tho American vern
meut. the calm nnd pacific policy of the
president, have been beyond all pr-.ls
Had the people of the United States been
polled on the question, war would have
been declared before now, not, as Is false
ly suggested, because of financial or com
mercial interests, but on gtoundr. ot hu
manity, and becai'se of the Intolerable
stench of thi" open sore close to the bor
ders of tho great republic. The pcrpie
have, however, been on Iho whole calm,
and have milte wisely supported the pres
ident In his humane and fricudlv tiK-tli-nds,
while tho speaker of the house of
representatives has, with great tact and
energy, suppressed the zeal of congress.
Hut it Is evident that the time of action
has arrived, and that President JlcKlnlew
must take such steps ns to challeng" In
the most direct way the right of Spain o
murder her revolted colonists any longer.
If Spain, In a word, attempt.'- to resist
the provisioning of Cuban starving people
lrom American ports, war there will and
must be. quite apart from any trcaehciy
towatd an American warship. So much
is certain.
o
What will bo the attitude of this coun
try can surely admit of no doubt. What
ever may have been our differences with
tho United States, tho heart of our people
will go out to the great attempt to be
made to liberate an American colony from
a cruel yoke. We have no quarrel with
Spain, and doubtless our government will
observe) neuttallty If war takes place.
Hut the careful policy of u ftovnrnmeiit,
right and proper as It Is, is not and can
not be identical with tho real tsympatht- s
of the people, and these sympathies will
be manifested hi the clearest was. It Is
not a case for the cold logic of lawytrs.
but for tho warm heart of o people whlcn
beats In unison with the cause of human
ity. One hears rumors of Huropenn lean
ings of a very different character, hut It
may be taken as qulto certain that Spam
will have no allies. She will tight aloae.
and the end of war will bo beyond que-,,
tlon the liberation of Cuban soil from her
rule.
