man, an intimate friend of Captain General

the whole of General Sickles's Instructions
before the Captain General and Marshal Ser

presentation by the minister, and reported 70
the administration in this country that the pro-
positions advanced had been very favorably
received. The most important proposition
contained In those instructions was one sug-
costing, in q friendly manner, to Spain that
tbey agree to the appointment Of a mixed com.
mission, composed Of Spaniards and Cubans,

at which the island shall be sold to the Oubans
