|CUBANS ARE HOPEFUL
THEY EXPECT MEXICO TO RECoG-
NIzE THEM AS BELLIGERENTs.
Gonzales De Quesado said to Have
Received Promises from the Min
lister of Foreign Affairs.

NEW YORK. Sept. 16.-Cuban sympathiz-
ers in this city said to-night" that Mexico
would recognize the insurgents as belliger-
ents within a few days. They based the
assertion on private dispatches received
from Senior Gonzalo de Quesada. general
secretary of Cuban revolutionary party in
America. who is in the City Of Mexico. He
arrived at the Mexican capital last Satur-
day night. and went straight from the depot
20 the home of the Mexican Minister of
Foreign Affairs and was with. him until
after midnight. In the course of the confer
ence 1t was said Senior de Quesada officially
promised so many advantageous conces-
sions to the Western republic from the in
surgents upon the success of their cause
that the Minister, already strongly in favor
OF the Cubans, practically consented to use
his influence to obtain Mexican recognition
of the insurgents as belligerents.
Later advices said that on Sunday Senior
De Quesada saw the Minister of Foreign
Affairs again and succeeded, after several
hours of further argument, in obtaining
an unconditional promise that the Mexican
government would concede the ~longed-for
belligerent rights as SOON as possible. This
second dispatch said that 1t was the general
opinion in Mexican official circles that the
formal recognition would be made within
a fortnight at most. In conclusion the dis
patch stated that the expected Mexican
recognition of insurgents as belligerents
would be of the greatest importance and
advantage to the Cuban cause. 1t would
mean that the Cuban revolutionary party
in America could recruit as many men as
ii pleased in any part of Mexico and could
send as many expeditions as it desired
from Mexican ports straight across the
gulf to Cuba, without much fear of inter-
ference from Spanish gunboats. Best Of
all. the dispatch said. most of the other
Spanish-American countries would follow
