Edwards was seen at the Hoffman house

Cuba Apprehensive About the United States.

lSpeClal 10 IhE hEhALD-EXanlnerC aDle.
HAVANA, Nov. 26.-There is apprehension
here over the Pan-American congress. The
impression is that the American govern
ment seeks to isolate Cuba by shutting the
ports Of the United States to all her pro-
ducts and thus ruin her commerce, the
ultimate object being to induce Spain to
abandon the island to the natives or to the
United States as a useless burden to the
mother country. The idea is not unfavor-
ably received by small party in favor of
annexation to the United States, but is
strongly opposed by the Conservatives and
Liberal Autonomists in Spain as well as
Cuba. In order to combat its effects the
Spanish minister of colonies has proposed
to make considerable reductions in the
customs tariff in Cuba and Porto Rico on
goods imported from the United States. 1t
is generally doubted here, however,
whether this policy will have the desired
effect if the American government is bent
upon carrying out its supposed scheme of
isolation
