CUBA.
The an hsfa nee of the American Nafe.

LONDON, Jan. 3-The Manchester Guardians
London correspondent writes as follows on the
subject of Spain, Cuba and the United States:
l have been furnished with what purports to
be the substance of Americas Cuban note. 1
believe it is correct, though do not pretend to
give the exact language.
1t recites that the general interests of human
ity and commerce demand the cessation of
the struggle which has been waged in Cuba for
seven years.
The United States are great sufferers. but are
unwilling to act without the concurrence of
other powers, including Spain.
The continuation of the attempt to govern
Cuba from Madrid will be fatal to the hopes of
the restoration of peace. Nevertheless, Cuba
belongs to Spain, and great share of the pop.
ulation is opposed to separation. In these cir
cumstances the solution Of the question might
be found in establishing confederation in the
West Irdies resembling the Canadian. Cuba
and Porto Rico might be constituted confed-
GRAFTON with local independent right, and a
Governor General appointed by Spain. The
powers are asked to join the United States IN
proposing such a confederation and aiding Cuba
to establish the abolition of slavery. 1t would,
however, be a necessary condition that such
pressure must be brought as would make the
insurgents cease warfare. This would be diff
cult, but it could be accomplished.
Secretary Fish is emphatic in denying that
the United States desire the acquisition of
Cuba. They only wish peace restored, slavery
abolished and commerce allowed to resume its
course.
The powers are asked to express their opin-
ion upon the proposed means Of accomplishing
these ends.
Senator Conover of Florida Wants War.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Senater Conover of
Florida, in which state there is lare number
of Cuban refugees. means to make speech in
the Senate in favor Of granting belligerent
rights to Cuba.
The Note Does not Recommend Confed-
Grafton.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Though our govern
ment conceals at present what it communicates
to the European government it can be stated
that the American circular does not propose as
solution of the Cuban question, as stated by
the London correspondence of the Manchester
Guardian, that Cuba and Porto Rico form
