Want Recocnitinn-

NEW YORK, Aug. 21-A preliminary
conference of the directors of the Cuban
5unta and Of the revolutionary leaders
i'll this city has been held and after an
extended discussion of the situation, it
was voted to begin at once a movement
in the direction of securing for the Gu
ban revolutionists official recognition as
belligerents.
A special committee composed of inf1u-
entail and representative Cubans was APP
pointed for the purpose of notifying the
secretary Of state at an early date that
the Cuban republic has been established
with provisional government and that
it had an accredited representative in this
country.
The committee, which was organized
with Senior Tomas Estrada Palma, the
delegate at large as chairman, and Senior
Gonzalo de Quesada as clerk, was in
vested with plenary powers and with au-
thority to proceed at once upon the work
of drafting an exhaustive memorial to
Congress appealing for belligerent rights.
A committee will proceed to Washing
ton Immediately upon the converting of
the House Of Representatives and will
appear before the committee on foreign
affairs or any special committee to
whom they may be referred for the pur-
pose of pressing the appeal and the
claim for recognition.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Spanish citi-

day over the report that Tomas Es-

revolutionary party in this country, in
tended TO ask the United States gov
eminent to recognize the recently or
ganized republic of Cuba, and to grant
belligerent rights to the insurgents.
President Palma when seen this after
noon said that such an announcement
was premature as the provisional gov
eminent was not yet thoroughly Or
gained and the insurgents were not in
possession of a seaboard town. While
he would not discuss his intentions, it
was quite evident that he believed
that the United States would. at the
proper time, recognize the attitude Of
belligerency assumed by the insur-

GAZETTE SCARED.
Looks for a Deadlock Between Great
Rrifafn and Americu

LONDON, Aug. 2l.-The St James
! Gazette this afternoon publishes q
scare" item asking how Great Britain
stands with the United States govern
ment in the matter OF the Nicaragua
canal. 1t says it will be well if Hon.
George Nickerson. under-secretary of
state for foreign affairs, is asked to give
some explanation on the subject in the
house of commons
The st. James Gazette remarks: 'As
far as can be seen, we are heading
straight for a crisis and there will be
either diplomatic deadlock between the
two countries or the English will sur
render important treaty rights. The
deadlock can be avoided by discreet
handling Of the facts by the foreign Of

which the United States nnds it can
ignore the United States of Central
America, then goodbye to any hope of
retaining, much less extending, our COM
mercial hold of the republics of The
Spanish main, market in which we al
ready suffer from ttncommonly sharp
competition from. the Americans and
Germans"
The St. James Gazette then proceeds
to rehearse the history of the Nicara-
guam canal, claiming that the ante
cedence of the United States govern
ment to the request of the United
States Canal company to guarantee
further capital for it, would be an in
fraction of the Bulwer-Clayton treaty.
The st. James Gazette then quotes
President Cleveland's reference to the
canal in his message of 1894 and says:
These carefully weighed words were
designed to create minimum of dis
trust in the foreign Office, and when
read in relation to the consistent, moral
support given by the United States, the
company's enterprise and the insistent
demand of the United States people
that their government guarantee the
whole capital, come what may, it is
plain that the ultimate object is not
so much the cutting of the canal as the
firm and final establishment of the
United States authority in Central
America. With the canal completed
wholly by the United States the in
dependence of the republics would be
merely normal. 1t is true that Eng
lish financial assistance was sought by
the American syndicate lest the United
States government falter in giving the
but these negotiations have
collapsed, because it is not proposed to
allow the English capitalists their due
share.
