New York, Oct. 9.-Senor Henrique Jose
varona, one of the most eminent living
Cubans, a noted writer on philosophy and
literature. and prominent member Of the
autonomist party, formerly editor of an
autonomist paper, was interviewed on his
arrival yesterday on the steamship SEN
eca from Havana, as to the statements
recently made by Senior Nortero. another
autonomist.
Mr.. Varona contradicted pointedly the
assertions made by Mr.. Mortero and de-
clared that the revolution in Cuba far
from being Insignificant, was a most seri-
Gus movement, progressing rapidly. and
daily gaining both in extent and strength.
He said that if its onward march was not
checked, and for the present he did not see
what could check it, it would reach, be-
fore long, all through the western ex-
tremity of the island. The Cuban people
of that section were quite prepared for it,
and if they had not yet risen it was for
lack Of means to do so. The revolutionary
might take place at any moment. Ma
tanzas was a boiling caldron and so was
Cienfuegos and the other cities, which ap-
parently remained quiet. They were only
waiting for an opportunity. He said that
he could count on the fingers of his hand
the Cubans who were not heart and soul
with the revolution, although many Of
them, unable to leave the place, were com
cd to rf ff ttorr
ish side
The autonomist party, Mr. Varona said,
had virtually dissolved. At Havana there
was only central committee. and even
that committee may be said to be COM
posed of only four men, one of whom IS
MOrtero. The others continue to appear as
members because they do not see their way
TO Withdrawing without giving rise to sus-
picions about their loyalty, a most serious
matter just now Outside of Havana, the
members of the autOnomist party have
either Joined the revolutionary forces or
have left the country.
Mr. Verona thought that the financial
difficulties of Spain were beyond her
strength, and expressed faith in the sue
cess of the revolution. He proposes to
establish his residence in New York and
to cooperate with his friends in Cuba.
