the affairs in the Island of Cuba. Notwithstanding
the confidence expressed by the Spanish authorities
of their ability to speedily suppress the rebellion
the Governments constantly il receipt OF intelli-
gence which shows that the Insurgents have not
brought into action all their available strength and
it is expected that the next two or three months VIII
indicate something definite respecting the struggle
either side. In the mean time it is not the lnten-
ton of the Government to interfere so long as every
demand made upon the Spanish authorizes, where
our interests are interfered WITH is promptly acceeded
to. Although the Government officials have lndl-
Gated willingness to sell war materials of all kinds
to parties who desire to purchase no sales have yet
been made The President has stated in substance
that he believes the Spanarls have exhausted their
resources in Cuba, while the Cubans have much
latent strength which will slow itself hereafter IN
an effective manner.
