Spain has Riven another evidence of the

to jleld to the represenlntlons of the grcut
powers in srantlns all nrmlstlcc mil
placing us In tho attitude of forclns n flnht
ihould wo dlstcgard this new phase ot tha
situation
Tho funny thing about thl3 grant ot
n armistice is the nisumption that Snalu
Is waiting n generous eoncejBlcii In tho
premises As a matter ot fact It Is the onu
course that Spain would bli glad to pursue
just at this time Tho npprmsli of tho
rainy and alckly season tn Cuba Is thrait
cning to tho health mid pffklency of tho
SpanUli troops On the other hnnj thli
season is tho ono In which tho insurRcntB
do their most effective vorl Proof ugilnit
the climate familiar with tho topography
of tho Island and used to tho rnlny
weather the insurgent lnn a becomo es-
pecially active during tho summer mm win
their most pronounced sucicsscts They nro
asking for no concessions fiom Spain short
of Independence and do tint d tlio an
armistice
The Spanish officials therefore tn as-
suming to giant something tbat tho > thorn
Helves would leally llko to ask nt bin

Spain tan say to tho groat powers that who

placed herself In tholr hands tor protection
agalnBt tho United Stales during tho con
Unuaneo of tho armistice
It Is this voiy
protection that tho wily n0ns havo bcu

In short this gtant ot nu armistice u
a smart trick and thoto will bo Icsb talent
