NEW YORK, Aug. 2s.-Spanish residents
In this city were considerably worked up
today over the report that Thomas Estrada
Palma, president Of the Cuban revolu-
tionary party in this country, intended to
ask the United States government to re-
cognize the recently organized republic of
Cuba and to grant belligerent rights to
the insurgents. President Palma when
seon said that such an announcement was
premature, as the provincial government
was not yet thoroughly organized and the
insurgents were not in possession Of a sea-
board town. Senior do Traijello, Spanish
eonsul, said that Spain would not give up
the fight until the insurrection should be
absolutely quelled.
