W Woleott presidont ot the CubanAmeri
can league gavo out a statement for pub-
lication today regaidlng the Cuban clause
In tbo president message Mr Wolcmt
eald
I see by a morning paper lbit the at-
titude of Mr McKinley on the Cuban ques-
tion Is gratifying to Spain according lo
Senor Dupuy de Lome thu Spanl i minis-
ter Since iho leading of Ircsldeut Me
Klnlc > s mes age thlo afternoon 1 can
readily believe that nntl 1 think his posl
lion Is much more grntifilng to the Span-
ish nation than It is to the friends of Cuba
lu this conn ry To tell the truth I am
really disappointed 1 had not expected
very much on ncuount of the late news
from Washington und the president shows
by hl mctHigo that he will ftot do any-
thing now and probably ever And this
can ntv of course but disappoint the
friends of Cuba and those who believed ttm
president would stand moie nenly on tbo
platform of his party which declared this
government ebouid use us good offices to
bring about the p ace ami Independence of
the Island f Cuba According to President
McKinley the granting of belligerent
rights vvorill be a good thing for Spain and
n bad thing for Cuba but vtrv singularly
tho prominent Cubans ln thla country di
hlre it and the Spanish mlulser und thojo
like Senator Hale who approve of Spains
eause In tho Island are opposed to uranU
iug them
I hopo that congress will be niors
friendly to us Cubans than the president
and that something may yet bv done for
them within a short time

The editorial epeclally praises President
McKluleys treatment of the ourrency quca
Hon Tho Tlmc eays Its tone of pitronlzlng
toltranoo will make the mefsage not wholly
sgrecablo to Spain Irobnbly tho president
calculates that If ho ran satisfy the Jingoes
for a time with eloquent denunciations and
warnings ho will find It easier to pursue
a moderate policy Kegardlng his
eurreucr rcooinrndiiUona It teems
too probable that Mr McKlnloy
