PHLADELPHIA. Nov. 9---Cuban ad-
herents in this city deride the story
that Spain is willing to guarantee
Cuba autonomy. Spain might offer
autonomy to them on a silver salrer
but she would have to fight neverthe-
less, they say. Col. Emelio Nunex.
one of the Cuban leaders, said:
1T istrue. as Senior Ultramar states
In his dispatch to Gen. Campos, that
the Spanish cabinet is considering the
question OF granting complete au-
tonOmy to Cuba. But it is now too
late. Cuba will accept nothing short
of absolute indepe ndence. This is not
alone my individual opinion. It is the
| consensus of opinion both among the
leaders in the United States and
among those who have command of
our armies in the field. And the opin.
ION is unanimous In fact, SO resolute
are the patriots everywhere Tor indie
pendence that the only thing they do
when autonomy is mentioned is to
laugh
FOR the last eighteen years the
people OF the island have been strug-
Rilng desperately for some little adj
minlstrative reform, and many times
.neir Pofltlcal members at Madrid
nave lmplored on Bonded knees
the concession as boom which every
freeman should demand. And again
anc again, being refused the smallest
ameloration OF their compatr1ots con-
ditlon, these representatives in the
most solemn tones and with the most
loyal intentions, have warned the
mother country that her merciless
course must inevitably end in the re-
newa1 of bloodshed.
AT last the burden became too
great Loyalty to Spain, like
CALLED, exhausted, weak and starved
camel, broke down. And when it did
break down, 1t broke down utterly. 1t
was not merely loyalty suffering
from a tired feeling. 1t was not a
seriously hurt loyalty, 1t was simply q
loyalty stone dead
Cuba has done with Spain forever.
She has known what Spanish cruelty
| is She has learned what Spanish
| mercy means. She could not live
| under SPANS cruelty; she will not live
by SPANS mercy. She will accept
Spanish lead, and that lead she will
return until not grain OF powder IS
lett Tor her guns and not hnger mas
strength to pull the trigger
Spain need not waste bic time
discussing autonomy. SO far as Cuba
is concerned autonomy is a back num-
Der. All that Spain can do now Is to
light.
The patriots are already assured OF
recognition as belligerents by the
United States The trend OF popular
sentiment, at present SO strong, can
not fal OF erect And, with regard
| to the reports OF people In the senate
| and house, can say that | can state
positively large enough number are
pledged to insure CUBA oeIllgerent
rights. Recognition being accorded
| by the United States, the struggle
will not last six months longer. Con-

Of Phlladelphia, one OF the members OF
the party OF Cubans arrested at Una

prior to our arrest we hesitated to

was opposed to Cuba in every way.
| Tie authorities, however, told us we
might go on shore without feeling
