New York, June lS-The Herald's Mad
| rid correspondent telegraphs that the re
| ports of Spain having sent Senior Bataner
| to Washington to negotiate th
sale of Cuba to the Unite
States are utterly baseless. TIL
correspondent reports the following re
suits of conversations with leading SPANS
statesmen of all parties. Senior Elduayer
secretary of state, said: mo ministry woul
be permitted by the Spanish people to SCI
| Cuba, under any circumstances This GOV
eminent has neither official nor privat
knowledge of Senior Batanero, and has n
agents in the United States excel
its legation The deficits in Cuban rev
enues furnish no excuse for sal,
All Spaniards would gladly pay Cuba
debts if necessary to prevent sale 1t
not possible to express in too strong lal
guage the impossibility of such sale" E,
Prime Minister Sagasta said: 1.-THE mer
suspicion Of negotiations for the sale of Cut
would probably cause a political revolution
Senior Moret, leader of the advanced Libe
ais, said: Neither party could be induce
to sell Cuba"

best authority that President Cleveland al
the administration are entirely and abs
lutely opposed 10 all acquisiti ons Of ter

Mexico, or elsewhere The pres
dens feels very strongly and pos
lively on this point He believes v
have now as much territory and as large
mass of illiterate and incongruous materi
in our population as we can safely manag
He is totally opposed to an aggrandizir
foreign policy, and believes that we hay
work enough to do at home in reformir
our home administration
