Show ITS EFFECT I 1 I 1 advantages to cuba of a tion of independence washington dec IS the action of elie senate committee on foreign forsten relations today in agreeing to report the cameron resolution recognizing the independence of the republic of at cuba lias has naturally led to inquiry as te liow how tuch auch recognition if completed would effect tho the position ot of the insurgents inquiry ot of competent gos goes to lo allow that such sarch recognition from a lies point of view would be of value to thorn them morally than in the afi ad dialon ot of any substantial and actual privileges to those they now possess u this moral force probably would imar ifft itself first in enabling th the new anew ie public to float a to loan in the III markets kelsof 0 the world and obtain the sinews a ot of war in abundance for Avith the powerful backing bac kloer given by this implied expression ol of our faith lit in the ability ot of the insurgents rynta to achieve and maintain their independence there can be little doubt capitalists would take up tuch such an attractive loan 11 then the cubans cubana would be represented in washington by a fully accredited minister and legation in place ot of the ilia representation they now arai obliged to be content with S I 1 JC if tho the cubans could manage to put forth warships or even privateers their naff flag would admit them to united states amica ports under the protection ot or tho the neutrality laws though it 11 Is true our hiir government having jn in mind thoi the geneva award could not tolerate the allting out of 0 privateers originally lit in our on ports however tho the pelva te teera c rs could bring brine their heir prizes into furj pr irn ts mid and would no longer be kept f irom ant tho

for indemnity for american property destroyed during the tha insurrection which now may llo lie against spain for our ur action would relieve her at once ot of responsibility As A the spaniards themselves selves h however ve e are prepared PIT pared to prefer large larl claims I 1 against the united states stales for the damage wrought by filibuster hig expeditions this loss in a measure may ia offset of course too by recognizing the jurisdiction of the cubans over the tha j island Ifil find we would be able to hold them responsible for further losses ot of this i character cliar acter all ot of these gains to the cubans at 1 ter all an largely theoretical in value j 1 what elie insurgents undoubtedly ex hect and ardently hope tor for in tile the opinion of the state department
