WASHINGTON, April 1O.-The policy of
General Martinez Campos, the Spanish
COMMANDMENT Chief, who is en- route to
Cuba for a decisive stroke against the
revolution, is made known in copies OF
the proceedings of the Spanish Congress
just received here. The night before
Campos sailed, both he and the Minister
of Foreign Affairs addressed the Cortes.
The significance of General Campos'
speech lay in its conciliatory tone, show
ing that his purpose is to avoid blood
shed.
1t was also thought that, while he would
keep free from party entanglements in
Cuba, he is strongly inclined toward the
autonomists or conservative element and
will depend on them to resist separation
from Spain.
Il am in hope" said General Campos,
that when l arrive in Cuba the war Will
be over, for l have no wish for that kind
of glory"
lie expressed the hope that the various
political parties of Cuba would be in
spired to assist him IN putting down the
uprising.
II Will do everything" said he tto-
ward seeing that no party whatever shall
exercise its influence against the auton-
omistic element"
1t was coincidence that the Autono-
mist party held meeting in Havana.
passing resolutions OF welcome to Cam
pos and pronounciug against separation
from the mother country.
Inc Autonomlsts favor home rule for
Cuba, similar 10 the home rule OF Canada
and other British colonies, but not abso-
Lutte separation from Spain. 1t is Judged
from General Campos' speech that he
will take this middle course of home rule,
without entire separation from the
mother country.
The report that President Marti would
promulgate the Constitution of the revo-
lutionlsts to-day and then come to the
United States to secure recognition, is re-
ceived with some doubt by those in
Washington personally acquainted with
and familiar with the status OF affairs
They say that no election for President
has been held.
ENTHUSIASM FOR CUBANs.
FERNANDINA (FIa.), April IO.-Tbere is
great enthusiasm here over the prospect
OF the success of the Cuban patriots. A
mass meeting of sympathizers will be
held IN few days, and fund subscribed
to aid the patriots. The mysterious
movements of several small steamers and
saillng-cratt in and out of Fernandina re-
Gently gave color TO the rumors ahoat
that fleet is about to fit out. Parties on
board these vessels are known to have
communicated secretly with the parties
on shore supposed to be in the employ
ment OF the Cuban revolutionary party,
The latest sensation is to the effect that
the cases shipped to Philadelphia March
9th, supposed to contain guns and ma
terial assigned to the yachts La Gonda
ana Amadls and the steamship Baracoa,
were hlled with bricks, aud some of the
guns left this place for Cuba on board the
schooner, and the remainder will proceed
later on.
