WASHINGTON, October 8.
The Slate Department has received official
dispatches endorsing the text Of sickles' fa-
nous notc to the Spanish Government, con-
cernine the purport Of which there has been
30 much speculation Of late In tile newspapers.
The document proves to be quite Us threat
enIng in It's character as it was asserted to be
in the cable telegram. It declares that the
Spanish cause In Cuba is hopeless; that the
Spanish treasury Is depleted; that the time is
close at hand when. the, Government of the
United States must succumb to popular opin-
ion here and recognize the independence oi
Cuba. .
Minister Sickles adds that the pending policy
is an offer of negotiation with view to ascer-
tanning the real wishes of the Cuban peorIn a
to whether they desire independence, annexa-
tion to the Union, or TO remain o Spanish de-
tendency. This government, he says, Is will
ling to purchase Cuba for sum of money to
be hereafter agreed upon, and he claims to be
instructed by President Grant to insist that
Spain must prosecute the war on a humane
basis. He concludes his note by saying: 81
