A RIDICULOUS REPORT.

Washington, d. c.. October 25.-Some
attention was attracted In Washington
to-day by Madrid dispatches coming via
Havana alleging that the President had
promised the Spanish minister to veto
any action favorable TO the Cubans. 1t
can be stated positively that no such
promise has been made. and that such
q promise would be so irregular and
unprecedented as to be beyond the
range of probabilities. The story can
be set down as one intended to encour-
age the loyal element in Cuba.
