Ex-Minister Taylor onpilba
HE BELIEVES THE U. S.
SHOULD BRING THE
WAR TO AN END.
Has ois Tay kif, Mr. Clevelaoo?8 min
ister tc Spain, has cocee home with
very emphatic opinions, regarding the
relations of Spain, Cuba and the United
States, .which ha seis down io the No?
vember number of the North American
Review Mr. Taylor's opinions ought
to be worth something. He went ont
to Spain four years ago with a consider
. abie reputation as an author and a mao
of scholarly, conservative instincts, while
oct bing he did at Madrid stamped bim
aa ooe of unsafe judgment or volatile
feeling. On this account his views are
likely -to exercise considerable effect
lapon .public opinion io this country.
^ lt la unnecessary to follow Mr.
Taylor with much detail tn bis pr?sent?
ation of the actual facts of the war.
... His account of the antiquated Spanish
.: ideas, of colonial administration and
thc origin of the insurrection covers^
familiar ground This rising, he de?
clares, 'really grew oat of a struggle
for b*ead-aatruggle for bread io ooe
of the most favored spots to the world,
produced in the main by ?conomie laws
enac?et? by the parliament of the moth?
er souotry.** Weyler fraa nothing bot
the eoibodimeot nf the stern policy, of
- C^ova?H"-**The last-dollar and the last
mao/* and Weyler, according to Mr.
. Taylor, who relies upoo the Spaniard?
themselves for authority in this matter,
is two mtjst rot?lese soldier that has-j
ridden-at the head of Spanish battal
: ions, '.'since the dark days when . A1 va
wita bis bloody hands strove to crash
/ibo life out of the Low CouI?trie^ft^.,,
Let a? be thankful, then, thar, he has j
pow left Cuba forever. The pro
grainbe of autoooray. originally held
035 bytCanovas, and DOW made conspic?
uos? by Sagasta. is regard?e by Mr
Taylor as a mere diversion to conciliate
public opinion ic the States, while im
possible of realization, "Even if Senor I
Sagasta were willing to attempt to set '
tie the war by a liberal grane of self
govern meot lo Cuba, the .Spanish na?
tion, as a whole, would promptly repa
dials saab a grant'*-aod this judg
ment, we may add. seems to have been
Vc^n|?rmed only recently by the declared
r^licy of the Conservative party io
Spain and Coba.
IlT,, then, as the writer claims,
"Sfianisb atatesmaosbip is ?m potent to
soive the tbe pending problem,'* what
reaeai?s to be done ? What is the duty
ot the Uoited States? Here we find
Mr Taylor prepared with a programme
which conservative citizens may not be
-ready to.approve, in view pf their feel
,-tos.TD?t eaffioiect time should be coti
\ ceded to the Sagasta ministry to test its
? Cuban policy. It is the duty of the
Uni'ed States to intervene without far?
ther delay, ts Mr. Taylor's conclusion,
and be finds warrant for it tn a certain
wei? known passage io Mr. Cleveland
message to toe second session of the
Fifty*fourth congress, iu international
law and-io the .Monroe doctrine. It is
oar opton that anti! the Uoited States
has formally recognized the iodepend- |
euee of tbe Cabas insurgents it would
not strengthen the American caseto
drag in the Monroe doctrine, especially
because that doctrine, even io its
original form is still a mat
ter of controversy with such govero
. me nts as Germany To introduce it
DOW would arouse fresh discussion and
excite sympathy with Spain among the
colon zing powers. The needlessness of it,
moreover, is apparent when one consid?
ers that international law justifies inter?
vention on tte ground of humanity and
the conservation cf 3 nation's interests
tn a war whose continuance sse ms end
less.
But with euch justification as interna?
tional law provides?, Mr Tay lor evidently
would not hesitate to advise speedy ac
ttoo by congress and the exeourive, *'iu
firm send hearty coe cert "And his
proposition is no? the passage of inde?
pendence or belligerency resolutions ai
first, but r?solutions couched so mildly
a? to avoid war ?shiie dotog great exe?
cution. On this poiot he is worth quet
soanewba; folly.
"What I hope to see is the prompt
adoption by congress, upoo its reassem?
bling, of a joint resolution embodying
three clear and definite propositions
the first asserting our right sod duty
not only to ourselves, but to humanity,
by virtue of tbe universally recognized
doctrine of intervention, as well BR by
vir?ue of the Monroe doctrine, to put
ao end to the dreadful coc&ct so long
raging in Coba, because it iovolves not
ody the constant disturbance of our in?
ternal peace, but also the destruction ot
great commercial and property interest*
of ocr citizens ; the second, asserting
thar, after enduring patiently al) soeb
evils iocident to 15 years of war in
Cuba pot of tbe last 29 the government
of the Uoited States has offered in vain
irs friendly offices as peacemaker to
Spain io hope of aiding ber witboot of?
fense to ber susceptibilities io bringing
to a close a strife so destructive to the
material interests of both cann tries ;
tbe third, declaring that the govern?
ment of the-Uoited States, in view of
Spain's refosal ro accept i-uch
frieodly and respectful mediation,
bas DOW resolved to exercise
upon its own responsibility tts
eotire moral influence, to the end
that the war io Cuba rosy be brough'
to a speedy close, provided Spain fail?
to accomplish that resolt io a reason
able time, to be clearly indicated."
Mr Taylor thicks that Spain wculd
promptly fuccumb to such a resolution.
* It would so completely bit the mark
that th-? Deroe bird of prey that is ?ow
whetting it? beak opon the vital* of Cuba
would fall from its perch pierced through
and through.*' It may be. yet before
it happens we should expect r?ou?ethiog
very different-something that had the
ominous look of war The pas-age of
such a resolution would be more likely
to lead TO hostilities ber ween Spain and
the Uoited States, and oar people
should thoroughly reckon with suoh a
result. Unies* we are greatly mis?
taken Spain is ready to fight os at a
moment's notice, and would a little
rather than pot.
Whatever may be the wisest course
to pursue, neither congress nor the
people should indulge in any fancies
that Spain would meekly yield to the
"moral" authority of the United
States lt were unfortunate should
Mr Taylor's article breed such fancies
and encourage an aggressive policy
with ?he expectation of an immediate
and bloodless triumph.-Springfield Re

SPAIN ISTNS?L?NT.
She Will Do What She Deems
Pit in Reference to Cuba.
Madrid, Nov. 4 -The letter bf
Senator Salvani, poblished in the
Spanish newspapers yesterday, re?
ply"??, to the article of Hannis Tay?
lor, the former United States minis
ter to Spain, on the Cuban question,
recently published in an American
magazine, has created the greatest
stir here Toe Spanish papers Wotly
attack Mr Taylor for bis utteranct-s.
The Spanish cabinet has now de
cided to reply to the United States
minister s acknowledgment of tbe rf
ceipt of the Spanish note in reply to
the representations of the ' United
States, on the subject of Cuba, jde
daring in guarded terms that in
reference to granting autonomy to
Cuba, Spain will do what she deems
fit
It is also understood that the Span?
ish government is determined, in the
case of the American schooner Com?
petitor, captured in Cuban waters in
April, 1896, to maintain tbat the
Spanish officers acted correctly in
making the capture of the Competi?
tor, and that the protocol of 1877
solely referred to American citizens
residing in Cuba.
The American schooler Competi?
tor, of fifty tons' burden, was a fast
and able boat belonging to Key Weat,
where, until she apparently becaare a
filibuster, she was engaged-in the
sponge business On Apt il 20,1896,
th? Competitor left Key Wesfc, and is
said to have shipped a filibustering
expedition a day or two later After
some clever dodging she made Cape
Sable, where she is reported to have
taken on boaid Gen Monz?n of the
Coban army and the remaining mem?
bers of his party
Capt. Alfredo Laborde, who was in
commnad of the Competitor, has al
ways asserted that the Cubans took
possession of his vessel by force, and
so succeeded in shipping the arms,
ammunition, and filibusters on board
his vessel. In any case, the Com?
petitor was captured by the Spanish
gunboat Mensajera on April 29, and
although the filibusters seemed to
have succeeded in landing their ex?
pedition and its supplies, five men
were made prisoners by the war ves?
sel, and were tried by coortmartial at
Havana on May'8,1896. They were
Capt Alfredo Laborde, said to bethe
leader of the expedition ; Dr. Elias
Bedia, William Gildea, said to be a
British subject ; John Melton, a na?
tive of Kansas, and Theodore Mata.
Laborde and Bedia are said to be
naturalized American citizens, bot
their claims have been disputed
Melton, however, is beyond doubt an
American.
The prisoners are said to bave been
very badly treated in jail, and would
have fared much worse had not it
been for the efforts of the United
States consular authorities in Ha?
vana. '
' Repeated effort?? have been made
to have judgment pronounced by the
courts in the csse of the Competitor
prisoners, but although the matter
bas frequently been aired, no fiual
judgment bas been pronounced by the
courtmartial or 07 the courts g ^
At a meeting last night the ex
members of the Richland Volunteer
Rifle company resolved to reinlist the
command in the state militia This
company was disbanded on account
of the S. C. College riot.
