(Continued from First Page.) der It unfit for human habitation or support commanded by one or the other of the contending parties and exe cuted by all the powers at their dis posal. Horrors ot the Concentration Order. By the time the present administration took office a year ago reconcentra tlon, so had been made effec tive over the better part of the four central and western provinces Santa Clara, Matanzas, Havana and Plnar del Rio. The agricultural population, to the estimated number of 800,000 or more, was herded within he towns and their immediate vicinage, deprived of the means of support, rendered des tltute of shelter, left poorly clad and exposed to, the most unsanitary con ditions. As the scarcity of food In creased with the devastation of the depopulated areas of production destitu tion and want became misery and starvation.

Month by month the death rate Increased in an alarming1 ratio. By March, 1897, according to conserva live estimates from official Spanish sources, the mortality among the re concentrados, from starvation and the diseases thereto Incident, exceeded 50 per centum of their total number. No practical relief was accorded to the destitute. The overburdened towns, al ready suffering from general dearth, could give no aid. The so called 'zones of established within the immediate area of effective miliary control about the cities and fortified camps, proved it lusory as a remedy for the suffering.

The unfortunates, being for the most part women and children, with aged and helpless men, enfeebled by dis eases and hunger, could not have tilled the soli, without tools, seed or shelter, for their own support or for the supply of the cities. Heconcentration, adopted avowedly as a war measure in order to cut off the resources of the insur gents, worked Its predestined result. As I said in my message of last December, it was not civilized warfare; it was extermination. The only peace It could beget was that of the wilderness and the grave. A I ottered Strntrtrio.

Meanwhile the military situation in the Island had undergone a noticeable change. The extraordinary activity that characterized the second year of the war, when the insurgents invaded even the hitherto unhramed fields of Pinar del Rio and carried havoc and destruction up to the walls of the city of Havana itself, had relapsed in a dogged struggle in the central and eastern provinces. The Spanish arms regained a measure of control in Pinar del Rio and parts of Havana, but, un der the existing conditions of the rural country, without immediate improvement of their productive situation. Even thus partially restricted, the revolutlonlts held their own, and their conquest and submission, put forward by Spain as the essential ajid sole basis of peace, seemed as far distant as at the outset. In this state of affairs mv adminis tration found itself confronted with the grave problem of its duty.

My message of last December reviewed the situation, and narrated the steps taken with a view to relieving its aeutenc ss and opening the way to some form of honorable settlement. The assassina tion of the prime minister, Canovas. led to a change of government in Spain. The former administration, pledged to subjugation without concession, gave place to that of a more liberal party. committed long in advance to a policy of reform involving the wider principle of home rule for Cuba and Puerto Rico.

The overtures of this govern ment, made through its new envoy. ueni rai wooutora. and looking to an immediate and effective amelioration of the condition of the island, although not accepted to the extent of admitted mediation in any shape, were met by assurances that home rule, in an advanced phase, would be forthwith of fered to Cuba, without waiting for the war to end, and that more humane methods should thenceforth prevail In the conduct jjT hostilities. Colncldent Uy with those declarations, the new government of Spain continued the pol icy already begun by Its predecessor of testifying friendly regard for this nation by releasing American citizens held under one charge or another connected with the Insurrection, so that, by the end of November, not a single person entitled In any way to our na tional protection remained In a Spanish prison. The IiicrenMliitf Destitution.

While these negotiations were In progress the increasing destitution of the unfortunate reconcetrados, and the tanning mortality among them, claimed earnest attention. The suc cess which had attended the limited measure of relief extended to the suffering American citizens among them the judicious expenditure through the consular agencies of the money ap propriated expressly for their succor by the joint resolution approved May 24. prompted the humane extension nf a similar scheme of aid to the great body of sufferers. A suggestion to this end was acquiesced In by the Spanish authorities. On the 24th of December last I caused to be Issued an appeal to the American people inviting contributions in money or In kind for the succor of the starving sufferers in Cuba, following this on the 8th of January by a similar public nnouncement of the formation of a central Cuban relief committee, with headquarters in New York city, composed of three members representing the American National Red Cross and the religious and business elements of the community.

The efforts of that committee have been untiring, and have accomplished much. Arrangements for free transportation to Cuba has greatly aided the charitable work. The president of the American Red Cross, and representatives of other contributory organisations have generously visited Cuba, and co operated with the consul general and the local authorltes to make effective distribution of the relief collected through the efforts of. Nearly fuoo.ooo In money and sup plies has already reached the sufferers, and more Is forthcoming. The supplies are admitted free of duty, and transportation to the interior has been arranged so that the relief, at first necessarily confined to Havana and the larger cities.

Is now extended through most. If not all, of the towns where suffering exists. Thousands of lives have already been saved. The necessity for a change In the condition of the reconrentrados Is recognized by the Span Inn government. Within a few days past the orders of General Weyler have been revoked, the recon centrados are.

It Is said, to be permitted to return to their homes and aided to resume the self supporting pursuits of peace; public works have been ordered to give thetn employment, and a THE IMSAJjnTG DAILY TIMES ANTJ M3PATCH, REAiDtN FBanLTA. sum of $600,000 has been appropriated ror their relief. Military Vletory Impraotloable The war in Cuba ta of such a nature that, short of subjugation or extermi nation, a final military victory for either aide seems impracticable. The alternative Ilea ln the physical exhaus tion of one or the other party, or perhaps of both; a condition which in effect ended the ten years' war by the truce of Zanjon. The prospect of such a protraction and conclusion of the present strife Is a contingency hardly to be contemplated with equanimity by the civilized world, and least of all by the United States, affected and in jured as we are deeply and intimately by its very existence.

Realizing this, it appeared to be my duty, ln a spirit of true friendliness, no less to Spain than to the Cubans, who have so much to lose by the prolonga tion of the struggle, to seek to bring about an Immediate termination of the war. To this end, I submitted, on the 27th as a result of much represent ation and correspondence, through the United States minister at Madrid, prop ositions to the Spanish government looking to an armistice until Oct. 1 for the negotiation of peace, with the good offices of the president. In addition I asked the Immediate re vocation of the order of reconcent ra tion, so as to permit the people to re turn to their farms and the needy to be relieved with provisions and sup piles from the United States, co operating with the Spanish authorities, so as to afford full relief. The reply of the Spanish cabinet was received on the night of the 31st ult.

It offers as the means to bring about peace in Cuba to confide the prepara tion thereof to the Insular parliament. Inasmuch as the concurrence of that body would be necessary to reach a final result. It being, however, understood that the powers reserved by the constitution of the central government are not lessened or diminished. As the Cuban parliament does not meet until the 4th of May, the Spanish govern ment would not object, for its part, to accept at once a suspension of hostilities if asked for by the Insurgents from the general in chief, to whom it would pertain in such case, to determine the duration and conditions of armis tice. The propositions submitted 1 Gen eral Woodford and the reply of the Spanish government were both in the form of brief memoranda, the texts of which are before me, and are substan tially In the language above given.

The function of the Cuban parliament In the matter of "preparing" peace and the i mannef of its doing so are not expressed in the Snanlsh memorandum, but from Oeneral Woodford's explanatory reports of preliminary discussions preceding the final conference it is under stood that the Spanish government stands ready to aive the insular con gress full powers to settle the terms of peace with the insurgents whether by direct negotiation or indirectly by means of legislation does not appear. With this last overture in the di rection of immediate peace and its dis appointing reception by Spain, the executive was brought to the end of his efforts. In my annual message of December last I said: The. SpaulHli Reply. 'Of 11 ie untried measures there re main only: Recognition of the insur gents as belligerents; recognition of the independence of Cuba; neutral inter' vention to end the war by imposing a rational compromise between the con testants, and intervention in favor of one or the other party.

I speak not of forcible annexation, for that cannot be. thought of. That, by our code of morality, would be criminal aggres sion." Thereupon I reviewed these altema tives, in the light of President Grant's measured words, uttered in 137S, when after seven years of sanguinary, destructive and cruel hostilities In Cuba, he reached the conclusion that the rec ognltion of the Independence of Cuba was impracticable and Indefensible, and that the recognition of belligerence was not warranted by the facts ac cording to the teats of public law. I commented especially upon the latter aspect of the question, pointing out the inconveniences and positive dangers of a recognition of belligerence which. while adding to the already onerous burdens of neutrality within our own Jurisdiction, could not ln any way extend our influence or effective offices In the territory of hostilities.

Nothing has since occurred to change my view In this regard, and recognize as fully now as then that the Issuance of a proclamation of neutrality, by which process the so called recognition of belligerence is published, could of Itself, and unattended by other action, accomplish nothing toward the one end for which we labor, the Instant pacification of Cuba and the cessation of misery that afflicts the island. Turning to the question of recognizing at this time the independence of the present insurgent government In Cuba, we rind safe precedents in our history from an early day. They are well summed up In President Jackson's message to congress Dec. 21, 1S36, on the subject of the recognition of the independence of Texas. He said: Tn all the contests that have arisen out of the revolutions of France, out of the disputes relating to the crowns of Portugal and Spain, out of the separation of the American possessions of both from the European governments, and out of the numerous and constantly occurring struggles for dominion In Spanish America, so wisely consistent with our Just principles has been the action of our government that we have, under the most critical circumstances, avoided all censure, and encountered no other evil than that produced by a transient estrangement of good will In those against whom we have been by force of evidence compelled to decide.

"It has thus been made known to tho world that the uniform policy and practice of the United States Is to avoid all Interference In disputes which merely relate to the Internal government of other nations, and eventually to recognise the authority of the prevailing party without reference to our particular Interests and views or to the merits of the original controversy. "But on this, as on every other trying occasion, safety Is to be found In a rigid adherence to principle. "In the contest between Spain and the revolted colonies we stood aloof, and waited not only until the ability of the new states to protect themselves was fully estsbllshed, but until the danger of their being again subjugated had entirely passed away. Then, and not until then, were they recognised. Such was our course In regard to Mexico herself.

"It Is true that with regard to Texas, the civil authority of Mexico has been expelled. Its Invading army defeated, the chief of the republic himself cap tured, and (J1 present power to control the newly organized government 3l Texas annihilated within Its confines. But. on the other hand, there Is, In Appearance at least, an Immense disparity of physical force on the side of Texas. The Mexican republic, under another executive.

Is rallying Its forces under a new leader, and menacing a fresh Invasion to recover its lost dominion. Quotes JaekHon on lloeoizultton. "Upon the Issue of this threatened Invasion the Independence of Tex a may be considered as suspended; and were there nothing peculiar In the rela tlva situation of the United States and Texas our acknowledgment of its in dependence at such a crisis could scarcely be regarded as consistent with that prudent reserve with which we have hitherto held themselves bound to treat all similar Thereupon Andrew Jackson proceeded to consider the risk that there might be imputed to the United States mo tlves of. selfish lterest in View of the former claim on our part to the terri tory of Texas, and of the avowed pur pose of the Texans in seeking recog nltlon of Independence as an Incident to the incorporation of Texas In the Union, concluding thus "Prudence, therefore, seems to dictate that we should still stand aloof and maintain our present attitude, if not until Mexico Itself or one of the great foreign powers shall recognize the In dependence of the new government, at least until the lapse of time or the course of events shall have proved yond cavil or dispute the ability of the people of that country to maintain the. separate sovereignty and to uphold the government constituted by them.

Neither of the contending parties can Justly complain of this course. By pursuing It we are but carrying out the long established policy of our gov ernment, a policy which has secured to us respect and Influence abroad and in spired confidence at home." Independence of Texas. These are the words of the resolute and patriotic Jackson. They are evi dence that the United States, in ad dition to the test imposed by public law as the condition of the recognition of Independence by a neutral state, to wit, that the revolted state shall "consti tute in fact a body politic, having government ln substance as well as in name, possessed of the elements of stability," and forming de facto "if left to Itself, a state among the na tions, reasonably capable of discharg ing the duties of a state." has imposed for its own government in dealing with cases like these the further condition that recognition of independent statehood Is not due to a revolted de pendency until the danger of Its being again subjugated by the parent state has entirely passed away. This extreme test was in fact applied ln the case of Texas.

The congress to whom President Jackson referred the question as one probably leading to war," and there fore a proper subject for a "previous understanding with that body by whom war can alone be declared, and by whom all the provisions for sustaining Its perils must be furnished," left the matter of the recognition of Texas to the discretion of the executive, pro viding merely for the sending of a diplomatic agent when the president should be satisfied that the republic of Texas had become "an independent state. It was so recognized by Presl dent VanBuren, who commissioned i charge d'affaires March 7. 1837, after Mexico had abandoned an attempt to reconquer the Texan territory and when there was at the time no bona fide contest going on between the Insurgent province and its former sov ereign I said in my message of December last "Tt is to be seriously consider ed whether the Cuban insurrection pos sesses beyond dispute the attributes of statehood, which alone can demand the recognition of belligerency In Its fa vor." The same requirement must cer tainly be no less seriously considered when the graver Issue of recognizing independence Is ln question, for no less positive test can be applied to the greater act than to the lesser; while on the other hand the influences and con sequences of the struggle upon the Internal pollcyNof the recognizing state. which form important factors when the recognition of belligerency Is concerned, are secondary. If not rightly ellml nable factors when the real question is whether the community claiming recognition Is or is not Independent beyond peradventure.

Opposed to Recognition. Nor from the standpoint of expedience do I think it would be wise or prudent for this government to rec ognize at the present time the Inde pendence of he so cal 1 ed Cu ban re public. Such recognition is not neces sary In order to enable the United States to Intervene and pacify the Island. To commit this country now to the recognition of any particular government in Cuba might subject us to embarrassing conditions of International obligation towards the organisation so recognized. In case of Intervention our conduct would be subject to the approval or disapproval of such government: we would be required to submit to its direction and to assume to it the mere relation of a friendly ally.

When It shall appear hereafter that there Is within the Island a gov ernment capable of performing the du ties and discharging the functions of a separate nation, and having as a matter of fact the proper forms and at tributes of nationality, such govern ment can be promptly and readily rec ognized. and the relations and Interests of the United States with such nation adjusted. There remain the alternative forms of Intervention to end the war, either aa an Impartial neutral by Imposing rational compromise between the contestants, or ss the active ally of the one party or the other. As to the first. It Is not to be forgot ten that during the last few months the relation of the United States has virtually been one of friendly lnterven tion In many way a.

each not of Itself conclusive, but all tending to the exer tion of a potential influence toward an ultimate pacific result Just and honorable to all Interests concerned. The spirit of alt our acts hitherto has been an earnest, unselfish desire for peace and prosperity In Cuba, untarnished by differences between us and Spain and unstained by the blood of American citizens. The forcible Intervention of the Uni ted Statea as a neutral, to stop the war. to the large dictates of hu manity and following many historical precedents where neighboring states have interfered to check the hopeless sacrifices of life by Internecine con flicts beyond their borders. Is Justifiable on rational grounds.

It Involves, however, hostile constraint upon both the parties to the contest, as well to en force a truce as to guide the eventual ittlement. Reaaonn for Intervention. The grounds for such Intervention may be briefly summarised as follows: First In the rvuse of humanity and to put an end to the barbarities, blood shed, starvation and horrible miseries now existing there, and which the parties to the conflict are either unable or unwilling to stop or mitigate. Jt Is no answer to say this la all ln another country, belonging to another nation, and la therefore none of our business. It Is specially our duty, for it Is right at our door.

Second We owe It to our cltlaens In Cuba to afford them that protection nd Indemnity for life rd property which no government there can or will afford, and to that end to terminate the conditions that deprive them of legal protection. Third The right to Intervene may be justified by the very serious Injury to the commerce, trsde and business of our people and by the wanton destruction of property and devastation of the Island. I Fourth Aid, which Is of the utmost Importance. The present condition of affairs ln Cuba Is a constant menace to our peace, and entails upon this government an enormous expense. With such a conflict waged for years in an island so near us and with which our people have such trade and business relations when the lives and liberty of our citizens are ln constant danger and their property destroyed and them elves ruined where our trading; vessels are liable to seiaure and are seised at our very by warships of a for eign nation, the expeditions of fili bustering that we are powerless together to prevent, and the Irritating questions and entanglements thus aris ing all these and others that I need not mention, with the resulting strained relations are a constant menace to our peace and compel us to keep on a semi war tooting with a nation with which we are at peace.

The Destruction of tut Melne. These elements of danger and dis order already pointed out have been strikingly illustrated by a tragic event which has deeply and justly moved the American people. I have already transmitted to congress the report of the naval court of inquiry on the destruction of the battleship Maine ln the harbor of Havana during the night of the 16th of February. The destruction of that noble vessel has filled the national heart with Inexpressible horror. Two hundred and fifty eight brave sailors and marines and two officers of our navy, reposing In the fancied security of a friendly harbor, have been hurled to death, grief and want brought to their homes and sorrow to the nation.

The naval court of inquiry, which tt is needless to say commands the un qualified confidence of the government. was unanimous ln its conclusion that the destruction of the Maine was caused by an exterior explosion, that of a submarine mine. It did not assume to place the responsibility. That remains to be fixed. In any event, the destruction of the Maine, by whatever exterior cause, is patent and impressive proof of a state of things in Cuba that is Intol erable.

That condition Is thus shown to be such that the Spanish govern ment cannot assure sufety and security to a vessel of the American navy in the harbor of Havana on a mission of peace, and rightfully there. Further referring In this connection to recent diplomatic correspondence, a dispatch from our minister to Spain, of the 26th contained the statement that the Spanish minister for foreign affairs assured hlra positively that Spain will do alt that the highest honor and Justice required in the matter of the Maine. The reply above referred to of the 31st ult. also contained an expression of the readiness of Spain to submit to an arbitration all the differences which can arise in this matter, which Is subsequently explained by the note of the Spanish minister at Washington of the 10th Inst, as fol lows: Quotes From President Grant. As to the question of fact which springs from the diversity of views between the report of the American and Spanish boards, Spain proposes that the fact be ascertained by an impartial Investigation by experts, whose deci sion Spain accepts ln advance." To this I made no reply.

President Grant, In 1875, after dis cussing the phases of the contest as It then appeared and Its hopeless and apparent Indefinite prolongation, said: In such event I am of opinion that other nations will be compelled to assume the responsibility which devolves upon them, and to seriously consider the only remaining measures possible, mediation and Intervention. Owing, perhaps, to the large expanse of water separating the Island from the peninsula, the contending parties appear to have within themselves no depository of common confidence, to suggest wisdom when passion and excitement have their sway, and to assume the part of peacemaker. In this view, ln the earlier days of the contest the good offices of the United States as a mediator were tendered in good faith, without any selfish purpose. In the Interest of hu manity and in sincere friendship for both parties, but were at the time clined by Spain, with the declaration. nevertheless, that at a future time they would be Indispensable.

No Intimation has been received that in the opinion of Spain that time has been reached. And yet the atrlfe continues with all Its dread horrors and all Its Injuries to the interests of the United States and of other nations. Each party seems quite capable of working great Injury and damage to the other, as well as to all the relations and Interests dependent on the existence of peace In the lsl and, but they seem Incapable of reaching an adjustment, and both have thus far failed of achieving any success whereby one party shall possess and control the Island to the exclusion of the other. Under the circumstances the agency of others, either by mediation or by Intervention, aeems to be the only alternative which must, sooner or later, be Invoked for the termination of the strife." Quotes President Cleveland In the last annual message of my Immediate predecessor, during the pending struggle. It was said: When the Inability of Spain to deal successfully with the Insurrection hi become manifest, and it la demonstrat ed that her sovereignty Is extinct In Cuba for all purposes of its rightful existence, and when a hopeless at rug gle for Its re establlshment has degenerated Into a strife which means nothing more than the useleas sacri fice of human life and the utter de at ruction of the very subject matter of the conflict, the situation will b.

presented ln which our obligations to the sovereignty of Spain will be super seded by higher obligations, which we can harly hesitate to recognise and dis charge." In my annual message to congress. December last, speaking to this ques tlon. I said: 'The near future will demonstrate whether the Indispensable condition of a righteous peace, just alike to the Cu bana and to Spain, as well as equitable to alt our Interests, so intimately In volved in the welfare of Cuba. Is likely to be attained. If not.

the exigency of further and other action bv the United States will remain to be taken. When that time comes that action will be determined ln the line of Indis putable tight and duty. It will be faced, without misgiving or hesitancy. In the light of the obligation this government owes to Itself, to the people who have confided to It the protection of their Interests and honor, and to humanity. Sure of the right, keeping free from all offense ourselves, actuated only by upright and patriotic considerations.

moved neither by passion nor selfishness, the government will continue Its watchful care over the rights and prop erty of American cltlsuns and will abate none of Its efforts to bring about by peaceful agencies 'a peace which shall be honorable and enduring. If It shall hereafter appear to be a duty Imposed by our obligations to ourselves, to civilisation and humanity to Intervene with force. It shall be with out fault on our part and only because the necessity for such action will be so clear as to command the support and approval of the civilised world." MuppreM Cob. The long trial has proved that the object for which Spain has waged war cannot be attained. The fire of insur rec tlon may flame or may smoulder with varying seasons, but, It has not been and it is plain that It cannot be extinguished by present methods.

The only 'Lone of relief and repose from condition which can no longer be endured Is the enforced pacification of Cuba, ln the name of humanity, in the name of civilization. In behalf of en angered American Interests which give us the right and the duty to speak and to act, the war in Cuba must stop. In view of these facts and of these considerations I ask the congress to au thorise and empower the president to take measures to secure a full and final termination of hostilities between the government of Spain and the peo ple of Cuba, and to secure ln the island the establishment of a stable gov ernment, capable of maintaining order and observing its international obliga tions, ensuring peace and tranquility and the security of Its citizens as well as our own, and to use the military and naval forces of the United States as may be necessary for these purposes. And in the interest of humanity and to aid ln preserving the lives of the starving people of the island, I rec ommend that the distribution of. food and supplies be continued, and that an appropriation be made out of the public treasury to supplement tho charity of our citizens.

The issue is now with the congress, It Is a 'solemn responsibility. I have exhausted everv effort to relieve the intolerable condition of affairs which Is at our doors, prepared to execute every obligation Imposed upon, me by the constitution and the law, I await your action. Yesterday, and since the preparation of the foregoing message, official Information was. received by me that "the latest decree of the queen regent of Spain directs General Blanco, in order to prepare and facilitate peace, to proclaim a suspension of hostilities, the duration and details of which have not yet been communicated to me. This fact, with every other pertinent consideration, will, I am sure, have your just and careful attention in the solemn deliberations upon which you are about to enter.

If this measure attains a successful result, then our aspirations as a Christian, peace loving people will be realized. If it falls it will be only I nother justification for our contemplated action.
