rupture between them at this time. The Cuba expe

they have made the most OF ii. Vague rumours Of

sorry correspondent who cannot occasionally commu-

The Government has no knowledge of any torture
or death inflicted upon the Contoy prisoners as repor-

Spanish Minister this Government and the prudent
