The Westminster, Fngland, (ia:ette

the rurrender of Manila occurred after

Trouble I pected in Cuba.
Trouble with the Cubans is breeding.
Their attitude is one of sulleu hostility
toward Americans. Tho better class in
Cuba favor theannexattou of the island
to the United Stutes und a majority of
the masses are ready aud anxious to
w ork und accept the shelter and protec
tion alloided by an American protecto
rate; but they are in!ueucei by a cer
tain c'ass of rabid orators aud breed
ers of sedition and rebellion against
anything smacking of law aud order.
T his inllamiualory class demauda and
urges tho recognition of Cuba for Cu
bans, and spurns all olFer3 or sugges
tions tending to prosperity under au
American protectorate, and excites pop
ular discontent. A wild rumor is ulloat
to the ell'cct that the Cuban army will
attack Santiago and capturo it, to the
glory of thy Cuban arms, assoonjas the
American garrison is weakened. This
is dircctij" traceable to tho abovo men

(iouerai Plcnco in an address
at Havana, said: "It hav

the Fuited States, I consider my tuis

solicited my relief t'om duty. I could
not urge upon a pacilie solution of tho

"Notwithstanding his disapproval of
