sation of hostilities. The basis was
to be Cuba's independence and
monetary indemnity to Spain. TO
gether with certain advantages that
should be agreed upon for Spanish

To carry out the plan the agree
ment was that orders should be
given 10 the detachments of troops

between Mariel aud Guanajay to al
low Maceo with his staff to pass the
military line unnolested.
Time was required to mature these
arrangements and to give them all
the appearance OF truth, Ahumada
feigned that before acting he must
make them known to Weyler for his
previous approval. This explains
the arrival of Weylsr in Havana and
his prompt return to Plnar del Rio
The condition and pIaca Of the meet
ing being agreed oD, Maceo crossed
the trocha over the road to Guiana
jay, without being molested by the
forts, but as soon as he arrived al

The spirit of the Cubans has grown
