Cleveland and Mr. Olney were the faithful friends of Spain.
Despite the governor's proclamation, the Spaniards openly declare that if
an American man-of-war enters Havana harbor they will attack the American
Consulate, and declare war on the United States.
Meanwhile, people are wondering what turn Cuban affairs will take, after
they are in the hands of the new President.
The Spaniards declare that Major McKinley will follow in the footsteps of
Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Olney, and do nothing at all.
In Washington it is said that great changes will be made. While war will
not be declared on Spain, warships will be sent to Cuba to protect our
citizens there, and the United States Navy will no longer be kept doing
police work for Spain by preventing filibustering.
One thing, however, is sure. Dr. Ruiz's death will be closely inquired
into.
General Lee's prompt and manly action has been of some little help to
another poor American confined in a Cuban jail.
This second prisoner is a Mr. Charles Scott, who is accused of having
some postage stamps in his possession that were issued by the insurgent
government.
