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.
