CLEVELAND'S CUBAN POLICY Views Expressed by Editors of the English Newspapers. MANY OPINIONS —— From the Baltimore Sun. President Cleveland’s message to Con- gress deserves to rank with the best of his state papers. Of the tariff, the financial issue and the “trusts,” three subjects which are of the gravest importance to the peo- ple of the United States, he speaks with his accustomed vigor and clearness, while in regard to the Cuban insurrection his language is guarded, but none the less direct in its bearing upon the unhappy con- ditions prevailing in the island. From the Baltimore American. The position assumed by the President toward Cuba will be unsatisfactory, we im- agine, to all parties, no matter what may be their attitude. He gives every reason why action should be taken by the United States to put an end to the war, and con- cludes by advising that nothing be done, but that if the conflict is not brought to an end at some indefinite period in the future, Spain ought to guarantee autonomy to the Cubans, and the United States ought to guarantee Spain. From the Philadelphia Press. The most notable feature of the message is the discussion of the Cuban complica- tion. On the whole, his deliverance will be regarded as temperate, conservative and restrained, and his attitude will be accepted as the only one compatible with his ante- cedents and situation. It is plain that he seeks to hold the balance with an impartial hand, and if this attitude is not altogether a success it {s because truth and humanity do not permit complete neutrality. From the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph. ‘The President discusses the Cuban ques- tion at length, but while manifesting ap- parent sympathy for the struggling patriots of a desolated island, he can find no way in which to aid them. Various more or less polite and suggestive propositions have been made to the baffled government at Madrid, but all to no purpose, and it is con- cluded that all hands must stand off a little while longer and see the dreadful butchery go on. From the Philadelphia Times. With reference to national finance and the currency, it may be sufficient to say that the views which Mr. Cleveland has so often expressed are here repeated with un- diminished conviction and force. These recommendations are all entirely sound, and though they may not be acted upon by the Congress to which they are addressed, there can be little doubt that the general principles of sound finance and of sound government which the President has con- stantly maintained must ultimately gain acceptance. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. It is somewhat interesting, if not import- arit, to observe that the President indirect- ly acknowledges the supremacy of the United States government over that of the individual states. In one portion of his message he uses the expression “the United States has.” After this he can hardly be held as a good democrat by those old- timers who advocate the rights of states as paramount. A dyed-in-the-wool democrat will always say “the United States have.” From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. Whatever expectation his countrymen aay have indulged that President Cleve- land would, in his last annual message, make a startling or sensational deliver- ance ip respect of our relations with any fereign power, especially with regard to these growing out of the Spanish-Cuban revolution, has not been advisedly enter- tained, as the text of the message itself ncw makes manifest. With the President's views of possible future action, it is not likely that either Spain or the insurgents will be satisfied. They are too definite to please the former and too indefinite to grat- ify the latter, and yet they are in accord- ance with our obligations as one of the family of nations, and evince neither lack of sympathy with the revolutionists fight- ing for independence nor due regard for the obligations of international comity and the country’s dignity. The President's posi- tion 1s one which is likely to be sustained by the best thought of the country. From the New York Sun. The last annual message which Mr. Cleveland will ever write as President adds little to the public knowledge concerning any of the great questions that affect this country in its exterior relations or its do- mestic policy. The only political value of the document is in Its incidental disclosures of Mr. Cleveland’s frame of mind as indi- cating his probable course during the brief period of power remaining to him. In this way, the message is very signifi- cent. For while one important subject af- ter another is taken up and discussed with a show of candor and a directness of ex- pression seldom found in Mr. Cleveland’s official writings, the conclusion {s in every case the same: Postponement of decisive action until after the 4th of next March, which {s postponement till the Greek kal- erds, so far as the Cleveland administra- tion is concerned. From the New York World. This optimistic estimate of Spain's good faith is unfortunately contradicted by the facts of history. At the end of the ten years’ war the Cubans took the view which the President now takes. They laid down their arms upon Spain’s solemn promise to give them actual autonomy, with represen- tation at Madrid. In fact, Spain gave them nothing of the kind. It made a pretense of keeping the promise to the ear, but inso- lently broke it to the hope. So far from Raving “no reason for assuming” that Spain will not honestly fulfill any promises she may make to the Cubans, we have no reason for assuming or even for expecting anything else, and the President himsélf seems to share this view when he suggests a United States guarantee of an: Spain may make. TePeomises From the New York Times. By far the most important part of the President's message relates to the Cuban question, and the treatment of that is in all respects worthy. Mr. Cleveland makes a singularly clear statement of the present situation and of the course of events thaz has produced it. The President evades None of the difficulties of the question, and dismisses none of the problems presented with an arbitrary declaration that nothing can be done about it. From the New York Journal. The space which President Cleveland de- votes to the reciprocal interests of Cuba, Spain and the United States in his last an- nual message to Congress indicates that he is not wholly insensible to the agitation of the question which has long progressed in this country. But his conclusions show beyond a doubt that he will leave to his successor the honor of taking the first step to assure Cuban liberty. From the New York Herald. To the jingoes who clamor for immediate intervention, even at the cost of a war with Spain, and make confident prophe-ies as to its result, Mr. Cleveland adminis ers @ dignified rebuke by refusing to enter- tain their forecasts and declaring that “the United States has a character to maintain as a nation which plainly dictates that right and not might should be the rule of its conduct.” The portion of Mr. Cleve- land’s message relating to the situation in Turkey and the Armenian question is in the main a commendable diplomatic effort. The conclusions arrived at are correct, but the historical premises are unstable. From the New York Tribune. The President betrays in his closing mes- sage the radical defect which has wrecked his party. He is not able to respect and obey a decision of the people against his ideas. It was the golden hour for him to declare, as Bourke Cockran declared, that those to whom the people had intrusted the work of dealing with the tariff, the cur- SPECIAL NOTICES.

All of the London morning newspapers have editorials on President Cleveland's message. Most of them regard the mes- sage as one of rather minor importance, except so far as it concerns the Cuban question, to which phase the bulk of the comment is devoted. The Daily News, the liberal organ, says of the Cuban portion of the messige: “President Cleveland’s argsment is clear enough that no country possesses the right to foster a perpetual source of trouble, and that Spain must either grant autcnomy or sell. Spain, however, will probably re- fuse to do anything of the kind. Her pro- verbial pride will be much hurt !.y Amer- fca’s interference. She will be disposed to insist upon her right to wallop her own niggers as long as she pleases, and Bu- rope being very sensitive just now on the subject of the Monroe docirine, Spain will probably be influentially supported if sne holds out. We hope she will not prevail, because autonomy is best for Cuba and best for Spain.” The editorial in the Times say: “The tone and spirit of the message are worthy of all praise. It is a pity that the moderation and balance of mind which Mr. Cleveland has just displayed were not more conspicuous last yeal when he startled two continents by menace of war. If the Venezuelan ques*ion had been handled as Mr. Cleveland now idles the Cuban question, he might have averted the disruption of the democracy and have kept Bryan and Bryanism in their previous obscurity. The present message ives the sound- est advice in the most unexcen:ional ten- guage, nor can the least complaint be made of the character of the warning ad- dressed to Spain. It is not improbable that Spain will take offense, but clearly Mr. Cleveland is actuated by friendly feelings, and Spain will do well to acqu' Other- wise, the way will be clear for the influ- ence represented by Mr. Call's resolution in the Senate yesterday. If Spain closed row with Mr. Cleveland’s overtures, it would be difficult for the McKinley admin‘stra- tion to steer a new course.” The Chronicle (liberal), in commen with other papers, congratulates hotn countries on the prospect of the adoption of a gen- eral arbitration treaty. It say “It is clear that the Cleveland admin- istration means to conclude this great re- form hefore resigning office.” Of the proposed Cuban settlement the Chronicle says: “We believe the time has passed when the Cuban insurgents will accept any sclu- tion placing Spanish officials r them even nominally. There {s no mistake, how- ever, about the warning President Cleve- land addresses to Spain, and Spanish states- men should be aware that the democratic government {s far more pacific and con- servative in its foreign policy than the coming republican government is likely to be. Spain has to face a humiliating di- lemma, but she could not figat the United States for twenty-four hours. Therefore, she should sell Cuba quickly, but he would be no friend of the United States who would advise her to buy Cuba.” The Standard (conservative) says it thinks that Spain had better accept Mr. C'eve- land’s friendly counsel, as Mr. McKinley is not likely to be less exacting than Mr. Cleveland. “The Monroe doctrine,” says the Stand- ard, “is making great strides. It is a large bold policy, not quite free from danger. Fortunately as far as England is concern- ed, the prospect of the arbitration treaty makes the risks of trouble small. “Altogether it is a dignified and able message.” = CUBANS ON THE MESSAGE. What Leaders in New York Say of the President’s-Utterances. From the New York World. Piedel Pierra of the junta—‘‘The message is an enigma and a puzzle. I should have a far higher regard for Mr. Cleveland had he simply announced that the United States government was opposed to the cause of Cuban liberty, and sympathized with Spain's efforts to crush the revolu- tion. The message will not make a parti- cle of difference one way or the other, so far as the revolution is concerned. If the soldiers of Gomez and Maceo realize that the measure means that the United States will not raise a finger to stop Weyler’s butcheries they will fight with that terrible energy that is born of despair. “Cleveland's talk about autonomy only shows how little he really knows of the real state of affairs. The idea of auton- omy is dead. Scarcely any one in Cuba, even among the Spanish themselves, con- sider it seriously. The autonomist party went to pieces months ago. For us now there are left only the two alternatives— independence or extermination.” Manuel A. Recio de Morales—“I resigned my position as a leader of the reformist party, which is similar in its aims as the autonomist, because I became convinced tkat absolute independence is all that can save Cuba.” Dr. Henry O. Zayas—‘‘The President's message is decidedly unsatisfactory to both sides. The Cubans have a right to ex- pect more, but the consolation remains that he treats Spain with the scorn which she deserves for her weak and cruel rule. “Toward the end the President promises that at some future time his attitude will be clearly defined. Let us hope then that he will act in accordance with the express- ea wish of the American people.” Dr. Rafael Navarro of the Cuban sani- tary corps—‘‘Cleveland does not say any- thing in his message. He does not mean to say anything. It is words, words, and only words. My hope is in Congress.” Mrs. Carlos Manuel Cespedes, widow of the president of Cuba during the last war— “Perhaps Mr. Cleveland really more friendly to Cuba than his message would indicate. From motives of policy, per- haps, he has refrained from expressing the sympathy he really feels.""
