the other hand, Great Britain granted to the Confederate States of America recognition as belligerents immediately after President Lincoln issued his proclamation blockading the ports of the Southern States. It is not claimed by any one that the time has come when the Cuban insurgents have established a right to recognition as an independent State, but there is at least room for difference of opinion as to whether our Congress should not recognize their rights as belligerents. Strong reasons exist for giving such recognition to revolutionists who can show as good a prima facie case for recognition as that of the native Cubans who are now struggling for independence. Apart from the strong sympathy which citizens of this country naturally feel for those who are struggling elsewhere to free themselves from foreign control and to establish a government of a republican character, there is the additional argument that this revolution has assumed such proportions, and has spread over such an extent of territory, as to make it barbarous for the Spaniards to treat these people simply as traitors and deserving punishment as such. It is considered by many people that recognition should not be given so long as the Spanish troops retain possession of the leading cities of Cuba, This argument, however, is more than over-balanced by the · fact that at least two-thirds of the total area of the island is in possession of the insurgents, and that the revolution has been continuously maintained for so long a period. It would seem, therefore, that the Cuban revolutionists were entitled to claim the same rights and privileges as those which a recognized State possesses for the purposes of warlike operations. It would seem, also, that the United States is entitled to the advantage which such recognition would afford to it in the way of compelling the Spanish government to treat this country as a neutral between two legitimate combatants. To grant such recognition at the present time would, at any rate, be no more rapid than was the action of Great Britain in according to the Southern States recognition as belligerents within the first month after the commencement of the Civil War.
