Vol. Xllli Na. 224 CONCOUI N. C., TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1897. WHOwIfO.-l.61' I CLEVELAND'S DEAL WITH y , James trmumn Buys uie rresi 4lent is Plotting: Against Cuba's In dependence. "Mr. Janies Creelman, the noted ar correspondent, writes from Madrid to ihe New York Journal : It has taken me; many days to trace out the astounding dealings of President (j'evelahd and his admin iatration with the Spanish- monar- chy, but I am riow in a posijtion to give the American public eonie light , on the subject. I ' ' Actual facta snow that Cleve land's offer of mediation was simply a cover under which the American go .rnment secretly proposed to i help Spain to overthrow and sup- i p; the republic of Cuba and to enforce peace on the island on terms which the patriot army would not ' V KS. - accept. : This offer was not iriade in the form of a written document, trans mitted through the usual channels, but for the sake of greater secrecy was conveyed in a verbal statement made by , Secretary Olney to the Si yiish minister at Washington, De Lomp, who. cabled the whole matter to Madrid The understanding was that if Cuban leaders refused to lay down their arms upon conditions of local self'ROvernnient to be proposed to . them by or through the United States, the whole influence and pows er of tne American, government would be exerted to crush the new republic. . ;; v :J: ' w,.j, . , -'r Tne iightet investigation - by congress will reveal the troth of this statement I have the facts upon unimpeachable authority, but the most surprising fact in this well-conceived conspiracy .against the Cuban republic is that in order to help Spain in her pitiless cam paign of massacre, Secretary Olney has not presented any of the claims for damages 'arising out of the de etruction of American property i in the present war. : - And now Cleveland and Olney propose to ask the Cuban patriots in the hour of their victory to abandon their free government, surrender their arms and trust themselves again in the hands of Spain. .The Spaniards know that the Cubans will never giye up their republic, unle38 ; the United' States coerces them. Canovas wants delay. It is the national Spanish policy. Will con grt88, help to complete the conspiracy against human lib erty to which President Cleveland ha3 lent hit utmost support ? 8urely the American people have . not for gotten their own history, nor the never-to-be-forgotten part which France played in it at the beginn ing " . We clip the above and we hope th3 public will note it carefully. While pondering over this won derful production the thoughtf a win ask themselves a number of questions like these: Who is James ! Creelman, and who are Chveland and Olnev ? ' Is treachery like our president? (Unless to be opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver at tatio of 16 to 1 is synominons -.witn treachery and all items in the category f badness 1 M vvnat would Wtv, i our national hvd to v - - - V J ' WW what he really wanted to do ? (They say he is bull 'headed and forces his his measures over other3.) Could James Creelman be misinformed? and with the chances of being in error would he pnt so ugly a face on the affair if he were not willing: to sacrifice some truth! and 1 fairness to have some evil to say of the ad ministration.) 1 j Would the administration, if, from some inconceivable motive it wanted to do so queer a thing, be so unwary as to trust Spain with a secret that James Creelman could get possession of ? What is not a secret in Spain is not a secret in the civilizad world. If it were a secret in Spain it is falsity on the part of some one for James Creelman to get hold of it. May not the whole thing be false? Any way Mr. Creelman says the slightest inyestN gation will reveal the truth of the statement. Congress does not lack- . . - i j the disposition' and if there is the eemblance of truth in the; state ments theMnvestigutionj will b 3 made and the results wilL be known far and wide. Let the truth come. But till that "slightest investigation' ia made we shall not score th9 pr dent wtih double dealing when, it - he has one weakness apparent to all, it is a stern independence in his way of accomplishing his con- victions that is not altogether wini ning. ' : . ' , "We suspect that the guilt will not be established , with the closes scru tiny and"' MrCretltDan.. and others, who like a sensational story about a high official will 'forget, as weather prophets do, when they miss it. But again we say let the troth come and come speedily. Ttie Ideal Pnnacea James L. Francis, Alderman, Chicago says : I regard Dr. King's Mew Discovery ss an Ideal Panacea for Coughs, Colds and .
