I had hoped It would be otherwise and that Spain would assume such a belligerent tone that it would be necessary for the United States to go over and take possession of Cuba. We certainly ought to have that Island In order to round up our possessions a& they should be. and if we cannot buy It, I, for one. should like to have an opportunity to acquire it by conquest.” Inasmuch as Mr. Frye is a member of the Senato committee on foreign relations, his utterances possess considerable llgnlficance, indicating as they do tho sarly revival of efforts to acquire Cuba.
