Frmlitcnt Cleveland unit 1'nblnst Strongl 0ioci! to It. Washington, March 5. Tho Presi dent and his Cabinet nre undoubtedly opposed to tho present recognition of belligerency of the Cuban insurgents n:id to any declaration concerning their independence us embodied in re cent Congrcssiounl resolutions. Tho following Is not nn ofllcial statement, but It Is known from careful inquiry that it accurately represents the ad ministration's views iu the matter. While the President and members of the Cabinet personally feel the sym pathy common to all Americans with these Cubans who arc contending for self-government, they feel that in their oflicuil action they should not de part f 1 our the well-settled principles which were followed by former Presi dents and Secretaries of Stato during prior Insurrections in Cuba. These were clearly ct forth by General tirant in his message of 1S75, in which lie dealt with the question of the rec ognition of Cuban independence and also with that of tho iceognttion of belligerency. lloth independence and belligerency are facts, nnd their recognition by other powers, as the term implies, U merely .formal acknowledgment of a state of things which, rightly or wrongly, has come about. hen a people, united under some known and defined form of govern ment, which administers its functions by the usunl methods, come to occupy and control 11 known territory over which it is competent to administer justice and within which it affords protection to citizens and strangers, n new state exists. Refusal of recogni tion would not change the fact, any mote than premature "recognition" could create It. The former would be merely a slight to the new govern ment.'just as the latter is merely an affront to the old one, Tho question necessarily is always what govern ment is uctually in control of the country. Recognition of belligerency depends upon tlie same facts, and is only u moditied form of recognizing inde pendence, though tlie latter implies more perfect accomplishments. Tlie pretension of recognizing what does not exist "is always, and justly, regarded us an unfriendly act, and a gratuitous demonstration of moral support to the rebellion." It is understood that, judged by these tests, the administration does not think the present state of affairs in Cuba justifies any change In the at titude of tlie liovernnicnt.
