WASHINGTON, April 5.-The recent sam
o,uarv proclamation issued BY Spanish au-
thoritv to huldozc the Cuban rebels directs
attention to the probable course OF action

Gaming towards the Cubans. But In it his
ideas arc so expressed that it would not be

pref them 10 mean the opposite to the sense
conveyed by the mere lawyer addressing q
crowd Of Cuban sympathizerS.

ors who are abroad in the service and other
wise unable to provide for them.
