The Plan Understood to include the Recognition of the independence
of the island and the Payment by the New Government of an
Indemnity to the Spanish Government of Two Hundred Million
‘ Dollars-4M Armistice to be Declared—Other Dispatches.
New York. March sit—The Mall and
Express prints a Washington dispatch
today in part as follows:
it is asserted on excellent authority
that a solution 0. the Cuban question
has been reached. and that the presi-
dent’s victory is close at hand. The
confidence displayed yesterday in ad-
ministration circles that the Cuban
audition was on the verse of an hon-
orable and peacetnt settlement seems
to have bad a speedy confirmation by
the developments of last night and
early this morning.
it is said «that a cable came from
General Woodford late last night tell-
ing that sustain linal agreement to the
president's proposition would soon be
here.
The amoral features of the plan are
understood to include the recognition
of the independence of the Cuban re-
public by Spain and the payment by
the new government of an indemnity
to the Spanish overnment of two hun-
dred million hm. Au armistice is
to he declared. during which the Spain
iiih forces are to be called in from the
rural districts and concentrated in its-
vana. preparatory to enhancing for
home.
The monoentrado policy is to be
abolished at on» and the wretched
sufferers are to be fed by the United
States. supplied with farming tools
and seeds llor a crop and then sent to
their homes.
This is the arrangement. which it is
asserted. Senor Masts will accept on
behalf of the Spanish government.
Senor Palms, the representative of
the Cuban republic, came here from
New York yesterday afternoon. and
was in connection with high officials
authorized to treat with him As the
representative of the Cuban republic.
he was asked if the Cubans would ac-
cept this proposition. Senor Patina
showed a disposition to detour at the
payment of the enormous indemnity of
moment» .hut it is stated that when
he learned that President McKinley
would insist on this condition he lin-
ally consented.
it is said that President McKinley
instructed Minister Woodford to place
this proposition before the Spanish
government. ten days ago. senor lla-
usts frankly stated that he could not
discuss all! proposition involving the
freedom of Cuba pending the elections
The elections were held last Sunday
and honor Sauna won by an over
whet-tins majority. lie is now in a
position to treat with President in»
Kinley and it is expected that he will
accept the situation.
it is expected that President McKin-
ley will send to Congress today his
mousse asking for funds to relieve
the distress among the reconcsntrados.
In the matter of Cuban independence.
the action of the Republicans last
niche in appointing a committee of
members to wait on him to tell him
that pronlpt action is lmperstlvely de-
manded. may cause him to intimate in
his me that the recognition of the
cam republic by the Spanish norm»
but is close at hand. ,
Wises the vmeoranbpen
Mall. The members of the House are
help; deified with letters and ten»
ms. thresteslns that unless sonic.
this: decisive is accomplished for (in-
haa independence without further do-
lir M will be defeated roi- mouths-
,iisa. it is the tear or this political
loath that natural“ most of the its--
will’ ‘slmpiy refuse to entertain any
appeal from his decision.
But no such procedure is possible in
the Senate. if the president's message
does not contain some explicit an»
nouncemcnt or promise of impending
independence for Cuba. the Senate will
add as an amendment one of the four
resolutions rectxnizlng the Cuban re—
public which were introduced yester—
day. Of these four. the resolution of
Senator Frye will probably be adopted
by the Senate tommlttee on foreign re~
tattoos.
The resolution for relief must orig:
tunic in the House, because it carries
a money appropriation.
The solution of the situation as out-
lined. involving Cuban independence
and the payment of a generator indem-
nity to Spain by the new republic is
entirely satisfactory to the friends of
Cuba. and if President McKinley can
promise Spain's acceptance of the pro-
position. the money needed to feed the
starving Cubans will be granted with-
out a dissenting vote.
