New YORK, June l9.-The suit OF

The suit was by English owners Of the

there was fraud and misrepresentation

HAVANA, June Is, via Key West,
June l9,-Whilst there appears TO be
no indications OF a unity OF purpose
among the so.called Spanish party,
there are indications among individ-
uals that they would gladly make
peace with the insurgents, upon almost
any terms, II 1t were not for Spanish
pride, rs negotiations must surely re.
suit to the disadvantage OF the Span
iards, The insurgents are not averse
making peace, providing autonomy,
with sufficient foreign guarantee, be
considered. Sensible Cubans, and some
Spaniards, say they know the dangers
surrounding entire Independence, and
would prefer annexation to the
United States. When MARTINEZ Cam.
pos arrived, eight months ago
with thirty thousand men, the paciil'
cation of the island was again prom.
Used at the end of the winter campaign
but the result shows that the advan
tages gained were overbalanced by tn,
disadvantages. The state OF the slanC
is no better than ii we9 les year a
the same season, and the insurreotior
is % strong as ever. The only visible
advantage gained during the whole
winter campaign, was less burning OF
plantations. The treasury ofthe plan.
tiers Is exhausted. The daily publica-
ton of the situation of the treasury is
suspended. Lat year, at this date, gold
stood at S2.l5, and ii stands now S2.27.
Very few Cubans have taken advan-
tage OF the amnesty DEGREES. They
have no confidence in it. The state
of affairs on the island is lauguid, pros.
trate and dlsheartening.
