Washington. April 1G. - Nothing is
known at the state department of any
such communication from President
Cleveland to the Spanish premier as
is referred to in the cablegram from
Madrid. 1t is surmiscd, however,
that the matter is entering into Span
ish politics and is. perhaps. being,
therefore, more or less distorted to
serve party purposes. The intimation
OF a purpose on the part of the Span
ish government to grant n large meas
urc of local autonomy to the Cubans
confirms an understanding that has
obtained here to the effect that the
abuses Of which the Cubans complain
and which have served as the basis
OF the present insurrection. will be
largely abatcd by the Spanish govern
ment. just as soon as it can be done
without the appearance Of compulsion.
