accumulated showing beyond question that the promises nude made in behalf of the new administration to relieve the conditions in cuba have not been fulfilled or accomplished on the contrary the evidence which has reached the president shows conclusively that the situation Is daily becoming more serious in view of these facts the government has hae decided to take if it has not already taken definite action by informing spain that while disowning any other object than that dictated by a sense of honor and justice to a stricken and starving people it must insist first that hostilities host be brought to a speedy termination so far as known no specific date has ham been fixed within which the war must be terminated but it is belie believed that it to is the purpose of the admon not to
