Chicago, March as.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington, d. c., says
Aid for Cuba ha, come from an unex-
pected source. 1t is said here that Eng |
land will follow the United States in
recognizing the Cuban patriots. An
informal intimation to this effect has
been received at the state department,
and the status OF the Cuban question
has changed at once, owing to this sud
den development.
While Spain has been preparing for
an appeal to European nations against
the United States, Great Britain has
quietly taken the other track, and de-
cided to join with the United States in
helping Cuba. Such a communication
was not conveyed in an Official letter,
but it is said Secretary Olney was given
to understand by Sir Julian Pauncefote
that Great Britain would not only not
object to any action the United States
might take in connection with Cuba, but
would even welcome any reasonable
interference which would tend to stop
the war now going on in the island.
That such an intimation was given
semi. officially was learned positively
last night, and the effect of the informa-
ton, when it became generally known,
will be to render almost speedy action
by this country.
Great Britain deplores the warfare on
the island, and English commercial in
} teresls could not look on unmoved
while the price of sugar was moving
: upward as the result of the destruction
OF Cuban canefelds. Therefore came the
5 intimation that Great Britain would
, gladly stand aside and see the United
( States take the initiative II Cuba.

With the United States as an interver
