SIXTY Eight. CUBA ___.___. *x‘l‘he Island to Be Subdued cr Given 1191' Freedom In That Time. SPAIN’S ALLEGED MESSAGE. Minister do Lome’s Rumored Report to President Cleveland Said to Be a Diplomatic Move to Stave Off Action by the United States. WASHINGTON, N ov. 9. ——Information of the most startling character regarding a correspondence between President Cleve- land and the Spanish minister, Senor Du- puy de Lome, concerning the future course of this country toward Cuba is current here. - It is said that a few days ago the presi- dent, in a ‘semiofiicial manner, sent to ascertain from the Spanish minister whether he had any information that he might be willing to give regarding the fu< tu’re course of Spain toward the insurgents in Cuba. To this suggestion Senor Du- puy de Lome is said to have returned a letter in which he assured the president that within 60 days from the date thereof (Nov. 1) Spain would have crushed the revolution and withdrawn her troops from the island. Cleveland’s Attitude. To this astounding rejoinder President Cleveland is said to have replied on the following day that he would consider the information imparted by the Spanish min- ister as sufficient to justify this govern- ment in delaying any action until the ex- piration of the time named and that by the same token he would feel justified in recommending recognition of the Cuban republic should the Spanish government fail to restore peace within two months. ‘In the opinion of those who know the Spanish minister this move on his part ' : regarded as a clever diplomatic attempt to forestall any action by the president based on the report that Consul General Lee is believed to be about to make and to secure a postponement of action by the executive until the winter campaign shall have been inaugurated. General Lee, before leaving the city yes- terday, stated that it would not [only be impossible for the Spanish government to suppress the Cuban insurrection in 60 days, but that it will be fully as impossi- ble, with her present financial and mili- tary resources, for Spain to put down the rebellion before the next rainy season, and that in such an event Spain will be forced to withdraw her forces and give up the attempt to conquer the Cubans. De Lome’s lilotive. Before any action had been taken by the last congress President Cleveland stated that it was his inclination to recognize the belligerent rights of tho Cubans and the independence of the Cuban govern- ment unless the insurrection were put down before the coming on of the rainy season. Certain influences were brought to bear, however, and instead of pursuing this policy he sent General Lee to Cuba to act as his personal representative and keep him fully posted on the situation in the iéland. On hearing Lee’s report on his return here President Clevoland decided to rec- ommend in his annual message to con- gress a recognition both of the belligerent rights of the Cubans and the independence of the government, and it was in order to prevent this that Senor dc Lome made his statement regarding Spain’s intention to‘put down the rebellion in 60 days or Withdraw her forces. ‘ An Important Capture. KEY WEST, Nov. 9.-—-The siege and cap- ture of Guaimar‘o by General Garcia, which has been reported here, is regarded by local Cubans as being of great impor- tance. Guaimaro was formerly a large town, situated on the highway from San- tiago de Cuba. It was entirely burned during the ten years’ war, but was largely reconstructed after the war, fortifications of considerable importance having been thrown up. Three small forts were erected. General Calixto Garcia, with a column of 1,000 men, all well armed, came ex- pressly from the vicinity of Las Tunas to attack and besiege the fortifications of Guaimaro. After ll days’ siege and an incessant bombardment, the ammunition failing, the fortifications partially destroy- ed, the troops without water, the officers seriously wounded and unable to com- »mand, eight of the soldiers dead and over 20 wounded, the town and the fortifica- tions surrendered to the insurgents. A rich booty, consisting of dry goods, gro- ceries and ammunition, fell into the hands of the Cubans. Lee Leaves “’ashington. WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.——Consul General Lee left Washington last evening for Char- lottesville, Va., where Mrs. Lee is now stopping and his children are at school. Before leaving he called upon the presi- dent and also paid a visit of a purely per- sonal nature to Secretary Herbert at the navy department. It is not known just how long he will remain in Virginia, but he has some inat- ters of personal business to engage his at- tention that will occupy him for a Week or two and perhaps longer there, and it is presumed he will call again upon the offi- cials here before he returns to his post at Havana.
