win Get a Christmas present

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-A special from
Washington says: If Spain does not
end the war in Cuba within less than
three months, the insurgents win re-
ceive a Christmas present from the
United States in the form of a virtual
recognition of their independence. 1t
can be further stated that the president
does not expect that Spain win end the
war by tactics now employed during
the present year, and that he is fully
convinced that the grave duty will de-
VolNe upon him of taking a vigorous
stand in this matter A high official of
the administration said today that the
action by the president may be looked
Ior by the first of the year.

NEW YORK, Oct. ia Herald
special from Washington says:
High officials of the administration
agree that if the Spanish government
does not succeed in crushing the Gu
ban insurrection by the first Of the
year, it will be the duty of the United
States, independently or in conJunc-
ton with the other powers, to inter-
Vene and stop the war.
A member of The cabinet said yester-
day that the president fully appreciated
the gravity of the situation III Cuba,
and the great responsibility imposed
Upon the United States as the great
power upon which would deVolve the
duty of deciding whether Thea
SPANISH CAUSE IN CUBA
was hopeless, and whether the war
should be stopped in the interests of
humanity. He said that no European
power could be expected TO take the
initiative, as the geographical position
Of Cuba was such as to make the ques-
ton practically an American question.
The president, he said, would not take
any action looking TO a change of pol
icy in regard to Cuba until after the
elections, but he believed that the pres
ident would not hesitate TO act before
the close of his administration, if it
should become apparent that the Span
iards were unable to suppress the in
surrection within the present year.
Representatives of the Spanish gov
eminent here are naturally consider
ably disturbed over the news from Ca
diz. Senior De LONE begged to be ex-
cused from an Interview, and sent
Senior Depos, his secretary, to see me.
The latter was loath to let Cuba 60 if
the rebellion should not be ended be-
fore March / next. He insisted that
Spain would
NEVER RELINQUISH CONTROL
of Cuba. and that it was idle to talk
about intervention if the war was not
ended before that time, for, in his
opinion, the rebellion would be crushed
before many weeks had passed.
The belief is current here that the
Spanish government would gladly aban-
don its so far fruitless attempt to put
down the Cuban insurrection if it had
an excuse for so doing that would be
acceptable to the Spanish people
A high official of the government eX-
pressed the opinion that the Spanish
government would be glad to give up
the struggle in Cuba if it could be
done without bringing on a revolution
in Spain. He said:
i have reason to believe that Spain
would be

far as can be learned, no sucn

matter has been discussed in an
Informal way.
