This has been an exciting week for Cuban matters.
We told you that we might expect to hear more from Mr. Taylor's article
on Cuba in _The North American Review_.
We were quite right in our supposition.
The Madrid papers took the matter up indignantly, and it has been the
main point of interest during the last few days.
If you remember, we told you that Mr. Taylor said, in his article, that
Spain did not seem able to settle the difficult Cuban question, and that
in his opinion it was clearly our duty to interfere.
One of the Spanish Senators, Se�or Salvani, wrote an angry letter to the
Madrid papers, in which he said that when Mr. Taylor was minister to
Spain he appeared most anxious to preserve the friendliest relations
between the two countries, and that he repeatedly declared that there
was no fear that the United States would interfere with Cuba.
On seeing this letter, Mr. Taylor wrote one on his own account to the
American papers.
In it he said that his experience had been that the Spanish authorities
were unreliable, and according to his way of thinking the only way to
put an end to the war, which was costing this country so much from
destruction to commerce, was for the Government to take a firm stand
with Spain, and insist that if the war wasn't ended by a certain fixed
date we would end it for her.
To prove the truth of his assertion that Spain was unreliable, he stated
that during the term of his official service in Madrid he had become
convinced that Cuba would never yield, but would fight till her last
drop of blood had been spilled.
