WashlnKton April IS Special This
days work has plainly revealed tho re-
publican cloven foot in this CubanSpanish
matter The republicans have repudiated
their National platform and every state
ment nnd promise made concerning Cuba
during al this deabtc because the real
friends ot Cuba and liberty unhampered
with a great war debt Incurred by Spain
In an endeavor to rcsiibjugatc tho Culnns
or annihilate them have asked that uo
Uncertain sound be given out as to the
subject ot this Intervention The friends
of this administration hive cracked the
party whip and Tom Reeds slaves have
come Into the corral and refuse to say
one word that will rpoll the came of the
bond sharks There can be no other mean-
ing or construction placed upon their na-
tion The word hni gone out nnd tho
parly unlrr obligations to Wall street and
the trusts nnd money crabbers Is now
doing the bidding of Its master
Today when Tillman demanded to know
ot Srooner whether or not ho would assert
on liU own responsibility and ns n hop
orabie man that there were to be po deals
by ihlch Cuba would be made to ay the
Spanish iMdortdebt he oullklrSitml
shirked and gave an evasive reply It was
ns clear to sense as the sun at noonday
IHt the object of this peculiar Interven-
tion which is to he put on the market by
this administration Is for no other purpoo
under heaven except to satisfy tho rapaci-
ty and craving for more bond
Every assertion made by me In llst
Thursdays Tost holds good today and
subsequent events will prove them eorrccl
Kvery recession made today was made by
tho senate and In order to obtain action
tho sennlo conferees acreed to drop tho
solution recognizing tho Independence
ot Cuba for the sake ot harmony but In-
sisted on everything else The house
then Insisted also that the senate should
drop out the words arc and In the tine
that reads the people ot Cuba oro nnd ot
right ought to be free and Independent
Thus thry deny anything to Cuba that
looks like freedom The last vote taken In
the senato Just before they took a recess
at 91 showed that In tho Interest of
harmony that would produce action It was
willing to concede much Miny of the re-
publicans who bad hitherto been voting
with tho democrats broke away nnd voted
for another coufereree It wai by the
majority of one vote that th senate
refined to accede to another ronferrnce
and Insisted on no further mediation of
Its resolutions to concede something ot
freedom to Cuba It mean that when
the two houses filially t togothcr which
wll probably be tonight befsre adjourn-
ment that It will he on a basis of Inter-
vention with recognition pi the bslief that
tho people of Cuba are free and ought
to b frej but without reeajiillloit of the
pretcnt Cuban republic
I predicted lat t5H that the nnaout
rome would be the Davis oonilc roolullon
