Washington, Sept T.-'Save vague news
paper reports nothing is known at the
state department of the intention Of this
government or the other American re-
publics to recognize the belligerency OF
the Cuban revolutionlsts, and 1t Is quite
certain that no formal application for
such recognition at the hands OF the
United States has been made up to this
time. It is not perceived here how the
insurgents can reap any substantial add
at this time from such recognition and
the only comfort they would derive would
be from the moral effect of an assent
by an independent power to PROPOSE
tion that they had assumed statehood.
