CURED before the starting signal was

Reasons For Not Recognizing cubans as
Beiligerents.
NEW YORK. Nov. 26.-The World
publishes a special cable from Santa
Clara, Cuba, signed by Martinez de
Campos, governor general of Cuba.
General Campos says Along other
things: sissa-@ ~. assssxs". . U.s.. ...,s.
II think the Cuban belligerents' po.
sition at present gives them no claim on
the United States for recognition.
There is an active rebellion in Cuba,
but the insurgents hold no seaport, no
interior town.
''There are numerous villages named
on the map, which consist of five or ten
huts. Sometimes the insurgents re-
main for period of time in one Of
these hamlets. When I send column
Of troops to it, they disappear in the
wild, painless country that exists in the
only districts in which they operate.
Precedent Set by General Grant.
1.-The great North American soldier,
General Grant, ably covered the SUBJ
ject of the recognition of the belliger-
ency of the rebels in the former revolu-
ton. He stated in public document,
with which I am familiar, that there
was no ground for him to recognize
Cuban belligerency when the people
who sought recognition held no port or
town.
president Grant created a precedent,
and I hear now from Madrid that the
government does not anticipate any
overt acts Of any unfriendliness on the
part of the United States.'
