President Cleveland significantly says the United States will restat, by every Peace in their power, any attempt on which that Commission has adjudged as belonging to Yenézuela, and the Senate bas granted oredis of $190,000,000 to increase ezizting arma- ments, details to be referred to a military commission, On the fics of it this looks like busipers, but we have 200 strong faith in the good sense of that they will allow their party politi the real American people to believe
