ULNEY ON CUBA.
He Sends a Special Report to the
President.
1t Is Forwarded to Congress rs APP
pendix to the Message.

wAsHrNaToS, Dec. For the first time
within the memory of old officials, the Secre-
tary of State has made regular report to the
President for transmission to Congress, like
the reports OF other officers of the cabinet.
This report was laid before Congress today as
an appendix TO the Presidents message. 1t
treats of many details of our relations during
the past year with foreign governments that
either were not touched upon at all in the
message or were briefly treated. Under the
head of Spain. Secretary olney has much TO
say IN reference TO Cuba, and his report sets
out in great detail the growth of the rebellion,
the present. evil, the state of affairs on the
island and other facts upon which the Prcsi
dent bases his broad statements and conclu-
sions.
No reference is made to report from
Consul General Lee, but the Secretary init
mates that his information comes principally
from the United states consul, and so must DO
regarded as confidential as to its source. The
Secretary's estimate of the present situation is
disclosed in the following paragraph -nsada-
after preliminary statement Of the destruc-
ton of the industrial resource 5 in Cuba:
From whatever point Of view we regard the
matter, it is impossible not to discern that
gerous TO good relations. destructive of legiti-
mate commerce, fatal TO the internal resour-
ces OF Cuba and most vexatious snd trying
because cntailing upon this government the
excessive burdens in its domestic administra-
ton and its outward relations. This situa-
ton cannot indefinitely continue without
growing still worse, and the time may not
be far distant when the United States must
seriously consider whether its rights and in
terests as well as its international duties in
view of its peculiar relation 10 the island do
not call for some decided change in the policy
hitherto pursued"
To begin with, the Secretary makes IL
plain that the present insurrection is far
more formidable than the famous ten-year in
surrection which began at Yara in 1868 In
his comparison OF. the insurrcction with those
that have preceded IL, Secretary Olney makes
this significant statement: "from every ac
eessible Indication IL Is clear that the present
rebellion is on far more stable footing as to
its numbers intelligence and representative
quality than any of the preceding revolts OF
this country" He compliments the technical
skill displayed by the leader of the insurrec-
ton SAYING that when the disparity in mum
bers and the comparatively indefensible char
acter of the central and western country are
considered. the passage OF n considerable
force into Pinar del Rio folloscd by its suc-
cessful main ntenance of many months must be
regarded as a military success of pronounced
character"
