The Sentinel has presented the views of a number of prominent Indianapolis people on the Cuban question, and it imaK> ae -s that its readers will be struck o the general conversation apparent in them. There is no lack of sympathy with the struggling Cubans. Indeed, it would be hard to find »n American who dews not hope that the Cuban patriots ; will succeed in freeing their native island, or one who does not wish them a rapid , smrciss ill attaining a point where outside na i ins will tie jusiifisd in recognizing the insurgents as an independent belligerent 1 power. The American mind is friendly to freedom everywhere, and is es|*cially opj posed to European control of a people on this contiment who desire independence. But at the same time most Americans j understand that international relations cannot be changed at thecaprice of indivi lual impulses. We may declaim as we 1 will against the cruelty and injustice of : Spain, but we must remember that this nation has recognized Spain as a civilized nn ion, and has entered into solemn treatise with it which are not to be lightly broken, in the absence of any act hostility to ourselves. So far as our own traditional policy is concerned, it must be admitted that the Monroe doctrine, so far as it has any application to the Cuban question, is directly opposed to present interference in behalf of the insurgent forces. As President Monroe himself expressed it: With the existing colonies or dependencies of any European power we have not interfered and shall not interere, but with the governments which have declared their independence and maintained it, and whose independence we have on great consideration and just principles acknowledged we could not view an interposition for oppressing them or controlling in any other manner their destiny by any European power in any other light than as a manifestation of an unfriendly disposition to- i ward the United States. No one can question that Cuba is still 1 an “existing colony or dependency” of Spain. No one can pretend that the insurrectionary forces have declared and maintained the independence of Cuba. On our own declared principles we have no right as a nation to interfere in behalf of a revolting colony of a friendly nation at the present time. If Cuba once establishes her independence, and we acknowledge it' the Monroe doctrine would require us to protect the island from reconquest by Spain, but that is an entirely different matter.

The usual t«*t of a recognition of hellig. errncy i«one of curd!lion, The reeogni* lion Is commonly refuw.l to Insurgents so long na the government ngvinst which ■ they are in rubclll<>,'i is in condition to j sulhluv them. There is no renaon fnr departure from that rule in the cum of Cuba, but there is some reason for adhering to it. Prnctionlly a recognition of the insurrectionary forc<n In Cuba would be a 1 recognition of nn Independent power. If I it were n |w> M*ssion <d Spain in Africa that was In r.-Vol I, we could recognise it as a belligerent and still remain neutral, but the rt-e gnitfon <>f an American colony, under the Monroe doetrint’, carries with it an obligation of protection from European conqueet. In other words, if we, interfere | >n thia matter we should not do so until we are prepared to tied are the independence of Cnha and assume her protection against Spanish invasion There does not appear justification for this at present, and the matter may discreetly la* left to the government. Congress meets -oon, and it may safely be assured that Cuba will reI ceive all the attention it deserves, an<l that Cuban inde|H‘ti lence will la- recognized as soon ss the conditions justify it.—Sentinel. /k I’IHtIXTMEST <»l EXECI'TOBM. , 1 Notice Is h.-relty given, that tin- under . signed have Isa-n appointed executor, of the . j estat.- of .le.se Xll.lirk late *.f Adamscounty, i deeensed.
