RECOGNITION or CUBd.
The south American Governments VIII
Await the Action of Larger Countries.

WASHINGTON, u. c., Oct. l2.-It was
learned from an authoritative source to-
day that none OF the Central or South
American governments VIII take the
iniative i'm recognizing he beliigerency
Of the insurgent revOlutiOnists in Cuba.
The press of those countries, SO far as
can be judged from this point, is uuani-
nous in IT'S sympathy with the Gubans.
The fear Is expressed however that the
recognition OF the rcvOlutiOni=ts by Nene-
zuela. Nicaragua Brazil, Guatemala, or
even Mexico, would be- followed by the
dispatch Of several Spanish men-oi-war
TO their principal ports, demanding both
explanation and satisfaction. As Spain
has a navy about equal 10 that OF the
United States. she would have. under
these circumstances, a sufficient number
OF vessels for this purpose at half "A dozen
points on the American continent. As
none of the countries on the Western
hemisphere. excepting the United States
and chill, possess navy worthy of the
name. no recognition Of Cuban rights
will be made by them for fear of the
consequence IL Is said to-day that as
Yuou as the United States or Great i5ri-
tain. or some OF the continental powers
move In the matter, their action will be
speedily followed by all the Spanish
American republics on this continent
