Spanlsh-Cuban armlstice, and In fact
every avenue OF official Information on
the Cuban question is closed. The United
States In the previous Cuban war
sought TO have adopted nn agreement for
an armistlce. At that time one OF the
main difficulties in conducting peace
negotiations was In securing tho asert
of the Insurgents and To this end
Secretary Fish on juno 20, 1860, secured
the signature OF Morales Lemues MS "lhe
authorized agent OF the revolutionary
party. OF Cuba" to a document ngreelng
to an armlstlce pending negotiations,
for O settlement. ~ ~ "a
The settlement contemplated the In
dependence OF Cuba. and for this rea-
son was not accepted by Spain and the
armistlce failed. The government
sought TO bring about truce for the
reasons that 1t thought in three or
four months passions might have cool
ed sufficiently to make possible q per-
manent peace arrangement. sls Z

factor in bringing about 21cKinley's
election, decided to participate in the
inaugural ceremonies. The league will
furnish an escort for Mckinley from
