Opinion does not seriously believe that the United States intend to provoke a war with Spain But Uncle Sam is giving shakes to Old Europe by Presidential messages and Congress votos. The Istest shake may have the effect of spurring Spała to finish up quickly with hor Caban insurgents. Infor national law fixes no data when an outside. power will be justified to step in hetween n country and its insurrectionists and accord the latter the boon and blessing of bellyerent righte, and so make the mutual slaughterings more equal. The interforer, of course, takes the Bonaquees y being bonibardot, of having lis commerce destroyed odd fee for practising. philanthropy Did not the parisits accord belligerent rights to the Confederates The Americans have always held by the scred right of insurrection - in Layir own case it proved u bonanza, and Genoral Lafayette and his voi volantears introduced that doctrine into France, where it took root and blossomed in 1780. When a nation is encebite with a revolution, America's joy at the birth of a new people is meli: that she volunteers almost in advance to become. sponsor before the aceonghement. Her im petuosity ought to be forgiven, for she lowes much. A Cubau republic, financed and gaided by America, might be advantage for the island, if Spain does not change its régime.

President Fauro's trip to the south of Franco was very enccessful. He proved a capital politi- cal traveller for the Republic, ho represented Our Lady of Francs with tact and dignity, He congratulate the frail Tairovitch, and wel- comed the Emperor King of Austro-Hungary, and the Empress.
