Spaniards and Cuban autonomists are
preparing a statement. declaring their
willingness TO accept mediation by the
United States for ending the war on the
basis of autonomy, provided that the
United States guarantee peace. 1t is
said that the petitions have met the ap-
proval of ITO politicians and Cuban au-
tonomists, who await only the decision
OF Rafael Monitors and Julio Sanguilly
to sign IL in behalf of the Cuban au-
tonomists and separatists, respectively.
The petition. IL finally signed, will be
presented TO Consul General Lee. Much
