WASHINGTON, April 13.-President
Palma of the Cuban legation in the
United States has made public the fol.
lowing letter just received from Gen.
eral Gomez, the insurgent leader. re-.
garding war conditions on the island:
"The war continues more active on
account of the fierce character which
General Weyler has given to it. Our
wounded are killed and assassinated

fall into the hands of the Spanish
troops perishes without fail The
peaceful country people only find death

the houses to deprive US. according to
them, of our quarters until spring. We
will never use reprisals, for we under
stand that the revolution will never
need to triumph by being cruel and
sanguinary.

WASHINGTON, april l3.-The story
that Secretary Olney has addressed a
note to United States Minister Taylor

reported, is pure fabrication.
When the published story was called
to the attention of Senor Dupuy De

that he had received no information of
the taking of such action, and that he
had received no such note, either as GO
ing to Minister Taylor or himself. The
report has appeared in various forms
within the present week, the first state
ment being that the communications
had been sent to the Spanish minister.

THE FABRICATION.
Story which Is DE MED in Washington
Dispatch

Story Which Is Denied in Washington
Dispatche
WASHINGTON, April l3-Following is
the dispatch sent by the Chicago Times.
Herald correspondent, which brought
out the strong denial Of the Spanish
minister here:
At last it can be stated President
Cleveland has taken action in behalf of
Cuba. He has made to Spain formal
proposition that the good offices OF the
United States be accepted in mediation
between that country and her rebelli.
Gus colony in the West Indies.
This proposal was made in a cable
gram of instructions to our minister at
Madrid, Mr.. Taylor, which was dis
patched during the day. No diplomatic
dispatch of equal Importance has left
this capital since Secretary Olney !
note to the British government on the
Venezuela boundary question was sent
to London last summer.
1t brings to crisis the relations be.
tween the United States and Spain,
which have been unsettled since the
outbreak of the Cuban rebellion.
Contents of the Note.
The note thoroughly explains the at.
titude of the United States and the
reasons which have led to this action.
The principal points of the dispatch
are:
!. The president offers the good
offices of the United States government
in mediation between Spain and the in.
surgents, with a view to settlement of
the trouble and to bringing about peace
in the island.
2. The note recalls the correspond.
ence between this government and
Spain at the time of the lO-years war,
when President Grant and Secretary
Fish proposed mediation and the Span.
ish government, though declining to
accept it, promised certain reforms in
Cuba. The fact that the United States
was in part instrumental in bringing
about that settlement, and the charge
that the Spanish government has not
kept its promises is given as reason
why the United States now has a right
to be heard in this case.
Present Insurrection Serious.
3. 1t is pointed out that the present
rebellion in Cuba has assumed much
more serious phase than has any for.
mer insurrection, the insurgents hav.
ing apparently taken possession of all
of the island except Havana and o
small section of country rouIdabout.
Spain is assured Of the fact that the
United States is actuated by only dis.
interested motives and by desire
through friendship to bring about 9

LONDON, April l3.-Great Britain is
in an extremely delicate position.
Well-informed persons think Africa is
going to blaze with war from Cairo to
the Cape of Good Hope, and there is
said to be strong possibility of Great
Britain having to conquer the Trans.
vaal. task which alone would require
at least 30, 900 troops. Consequently
1t is likely that the British army soon
will be largely increased in strength as
it is considered extremely doubtful if it
