EDITOR AND MANAGER.
WEDNESDAY, JUI.Y 27, 1808.
When congress decided upon ^
armed intervention in Cuba without
recognition of the Cuban re- .
public, we confess that we were j.
disappointed. Wo said so. It j.
was because we had a mistaken y
view of tho situation. We fully j
believed that the insurgents were ^
competent to improve upon the
existing government. Recent developments
have demonstrated
that this is not true. Turned ^
over to tho Cubans, it looks as if
the island would be pillaged from y
one end to the other and left a ?
c
howling wilderness. Tho Cu~
bans, tho other day, from Garcia ^
down, seem to have been mitred ^
because they were not allowed to ^
nuvyR unilllU^U. I WO KIlttruilLCU
of the president that all non-com- u
hatant citizens, whether Cubans
or Spaniards, are to be protected
in their liberty and property
lights, is in accordance with the
American spirit, and is the best
justification of the war that has
yet developed. We are inclined
to hoaor President McKinley ?
more than ever, and it is with pleasure
that we acknowledge that
the resolution of congress upon
which aggressive action was based,
is right.?Yorkville Enquirer.
