DOING WELL.
Cuban Rebels Secure All
Needed Supplies.
Enmity Toward the Spanish
Rule Is Increasing.
II Is Shown Among All Classes
Throughout the Island.

London. Sept9.-The Times this morn
Ing publishes a lengthy letter from its
Habana correspondent. dealing with
the state OF affairs in Cuba, in the course
of which IL says: Careful study for the
past four months convinces me that.
despite serious losses, the rebels are
holding their own against the troops.
The wealthy agricultural districts are
completely under rebel control. and the
whole sympathy OF the islanders Is with
the rebels. Even Habana, which is more
Spanish than any other town or district.
is permeated with animosity toward
Spanish rule, and Is honeycombed with
intriguers on behalf of the rebellion.
1t is quite false TO call ii a color strug-
gle. In the fighting ranks OF the insur-
gents. the proportion is 70 per cent OF
whites TO 30 pen cent Of negroes.
Another fallacy is the rebel contention
that Spanish misrule originated the re-
bellion. The crisis in the sugar trade
was much more formidable In foment-
ing the revolt. The struggle Is prolonged
by the facility with which the insurgents
obtain ammunition and stores OF all
kinds from abroad and from every town
In Cuba, under the noses Oh the SpaAAoh
officials, with impunity, the seizure OF
contraband being most rare.
II Is now too late TO compromise by
granting reforms. The Cuban insurgents
would not now accept fun autonomy as
the price of yielding their arms. say
this advisedly. after a careful examina-
ton of the situation from all points or
view. Spain viii be compelled TO con-
ouer or abandon the island. This ire
conciliable attitude OF the rebels Is
largely due TO the wholesale execution OF
rebels after summary trial. These drastic
measures only increase the hatred or
Spain without deterring recruits from
Joining the rebellion.
Another reason Is the hopeless pros
pect of any rehabilitation OF Cuban
credit while the island Is under Spanish
dominion. Taxation must be heavily in
creased TO pay the burdens Of the war.
Hence the people with vested interests
prefer the risk and uncertainties OF in
dependence. coupled with the earnest
hope that at no distant date Cuba will
become state In the American Union.
