SPAIN'S STANDPOINT
The Cuban Situation as Seen
in Madrid.
SELFISH MOTIVES SUSPECTED
United States Accused of Wishing- to
Aiarx Ca"bn What the War
Is Costing Spain.
Madrid, June 24. Public opinion in
Spain,.' as . in Europe,- and even in
America, does not ' recognize in' Cuba,
particularly among tome of its inhabi
tants, the condition necessary for the
constitution of an independent state.
For this reason one infers that at the
bottom of the whole affair, the United
States seeks the annexation of the island.
And if Mr. MeKinley has not foreseen
such an eventuality, which is not ad
missable, he has, from it political point
of view, stopped half way.
Political opinion in Spain is not dis
turbed by the announcement that our
people will fulfill the duties demanded
of them by patriotism, without worry
ing themselves over the result. But
even if it is not so, the Spaniards know
perfectly well the great difference be
tween the declarations contained in a
convention platform and their execu
tion later in the White Hon Be, where
, they are found to be difficult, even im
possible of accomplishment. The prom
ise of a convention platform has to be
rectified, curtailed, - abandoned, accord
ing to time and circumstances.
The responsibilities of power lie
heavily on all public men in all coun
tries, and especially when, aa happens
in the United States, the- executive is
independent of the nation and congress.
Nor do the Spanish people fail to recog
nize in the admirable constitution of the
Tnited States, among other advantages,
the peculiarity of having its organism so
well balanced that ample time is given
for reflection. We count therefore, not
- only on the spirit of justice, ever alive in
the United States, but also upon the in
evitable current of future events.
Appalling Array of Figures.
Santiago Db Cuba, June 24. The
failure of Spain to conquer the Cuban
patriots, besides being proved by the
continuous defeats of the troops in the
field of battle, the lack of money in her
treasury and public credit she enjoys, is
also as plainly seen by the supreme
effort made in sending money, men and
war material to Cuba since the beginning
of the struggle, with such poor success.
In March, 1895, Spain sent to Cuba
$500,000; in April, $400,000; in May
-$1,521,000;' in June, $1,800,000 ; in July
$700,000: in August. $1,600,000; in
- Septem ber , $1 ,400,000 ; in October, $700,
000: in November, $1,700,000; in De
cember, $4,000,000 : in January, 1896,
$2,000,000; in February, $3,000,000;
total of $19,321,000.
From March, 1895, to April 10,1896
Spain had sent to Cuba 40 generals, 562
chiefs, 4768 captains and lieuten
ants, 3396 sub-lieutenants, 112,560
corporals and soldiers, 143 cannon
50,111 riflea, 500 bayonets, 23,124 cases
of canister shot, 61,878,368 cartriges, and
72,326 kilograms of powder. These
figures are' taken from 1 Liberal, one
of the first newspapers of Madrid.

Columbus, O., June .24. The Demo

10 :30 by Chairman Smalley. The tern

officers of the convention were radical

metallic League since its organization in
1890. Warner has not been co-operating
with lis party because of his opposition
to Cleveland, Carlisle, Brice and Camp
bell on the financial question, and is
now favorable to Teller. ...
Hon. William A. Taylor, who was at
the bead of the Democratic state ticket
candidate for secretary of state in
1892, and came within leas' than 1000
votes of election, was introduced as the
temporary chairman. In a lengthy key
note speech be did not refer to anything
except the silver question.
After Taylor had finished, , Reuben
Turney of Tuscarora county was recog
nized. He threw the convention in$o a
turmoil of hisses and derieive shouts by
Baying: "iiooting aown on me conven
tion is that arch traitor, that Benedict
Arnold of Democracy, Grover Cleve
land." . :
He wanted his portrait removed.
For some moments Turney was hissed.
He finally moved that A.W.Patrick,
who represented the minority report on
the resolutions for silver last year, be
invited to the stage. This caught the
silver men and the motion carried. '

Chicago, June 24. Senator Thomas
Carter, of Montana arrived in the city
yesterday, and left in the evening for
Washington. He held a long consultation
with Senator Lee Mantle, which is said
to have dealt with the prospect of se
curing an indorsement 01 . senator
Teller's candidacy " at .the approaching
Democratic-convention. Senator Carter
said in case the Democrats put up a man
whom the silver people could conscien
tiously support, Senator Teller would
probably withdraw. He declined to say
what course he would follow, remarking
that events would shape that.
