TWO OPINIONS.
Hanna And Cleveland Do
Some Talking.
QUIET SETTLEMENT
Would Just Suit These Two Big
Worthies.
Washington, March 18.—Sen
ator Hanna declared tonight
relative to the bond syndicate :
“While my name has been
freely used in connection with
some such scheme, and in gen
eral indorsement of some such
idea the fact is lam now' and
always have been opposed to
any such solution of the compli
cations over Cuba.
“I am opposed to annexation,
for w’e never did need or* want
the island, with its motley popu
lation. I am opposed to this gov
ernment indorsing Cuba’s bonds
or bring in any way responsible
for the conduct of such govern
ment as they might set up there,
because such a protectorate
w’ould be a constant source of
trouble to this country.
“We ought to put an end to
the suffering of the people who
have been crowded into the
cities, and under Blanco away
has been opened for that, but I
should fight any proposition for
the purchase of the island by
this government, and any propo
sition to aid the Cubans in mak
ing that purchase themselves
that involves our being respon
sible for their debts or their
government.
“I am not one of those who
would go so far as to advocate
peace at any price, but I do be
lieve there is away to solve the
present difficulties honorably
without war.
“We can do that without in
terfering with Spain’s rights.
We are doing it now, and we
can continue io do it. We had
better spend a million dollars in
relieving that suffering than
bring on a war that would cost
hundreds of thousands of mil
lions.”
Princeton, N. J., March 18.—
Former President Cleveland was
interviewed today by an Asso
ciate Press reporter on the sub
ject of the Maine affair and the
existing relations between this
country and Spain. Mr. Cleve
land nt first declined to express
any opinion upon the matter.
“I should only be misunder
stood,” he said, “I have been
resting here quietly since leaving
Washington and I do not wish
to say or do anything which
may be construed in any way as
a comment upon public affairs ”
Finally Mr. Cleveland in a
firm and emphatic fashion vol
unteered this statement:
“Though I have no wish to be
interviewed, you may state for
me that, in common with others,
1 think every patriotic citizen
ought to loyally support the
government during a period of
trial like the present, no matter
what exigencies may arise.
“I will also say that 1 hope
the present difficulties will be
settled without bloodshed. It is
possible that an honorable way
out will be found eventually and
that ther > will be no war.”
Mr Cleveland said he prefer
red to resei ve all c mi men t upon
the possiblejmd probable out
come of the Maine affair until
after the official publication of
the report of the ccjurt of in
quiry. I
