WOULD SELL Us CUBA.
Said that Spain is Ready to Accept
the Offer of Twenty Years Ago.

Some Of the members of the diplomatic
corps al Washington are confident that 1t
is the intention of the Spanish authori,i.s
10 submit a proposition 10 the United
States during the coming winter for the
sale of the island Of Cuba to this country.
Private advices from Madrid demonstrate
very clearly tia the SpaniardS, from the
head of the Government down, are heart
ily sick of the Cuban var Millions upon
millions have been expended without any
adequate results. Should this report
prove true il Will undoubtedly lead to the
settlement of the Cuban question in a
manner which has NOT been contemplated
in this country for at least twenty years.
Twenty years ago a proposition was
made 10 Spain 10 pay that country $780,
000,0 900 for the independence OF Cuba.
The proposed cash payment did not con-
template the purchase exactly, but simply
10 pay Spain for releasing Cuba entirely
from the Spanish yoke.
The intention was TO allow the Cubans
90 shape their own destiny, buithe UNDER
standing wouta have been that Cuba
would either have cedcd 10 the In tel
States a large portion Of her territory and
would have remained an independent re.
public, or wonld have knocked at our
doors for admission as a state OF the
union. At that time SPAN was apparent
