rBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBUNE1
Washington, April 16.-Representatives OF the
Cuban Republic in this city have discontinued all
discussion OF the proposition reported to have
been made by the United States to Spain. look
ing toward mediation in the affairs Of the latter
nation and the revolutonists In Cuba. 1t Is be-
leved that their reason for adopting this course
may be found in the fact that. according to their
view there Is no possible chance or probability
OF the Cuban war being brought to an end by
any other means than the achievement OF abso-
lutte independence by the Cuban people, who are
now fighting for 1t. 1t would be dangerous, IN
deed, for any person to propose any other means
Of settling the controversy, because the only alb
solute decree issued by the present Government
OF Cuba which prescribes punishment without
granting to the offender preliminary trial py
court-martial or otherwise. relates to this very
question.
The decree in question was drawn up during
the last revolution by Tomas Estrada Palma
who is now the chief representative OF the Cuban
Republic In the United States. This decree was
reaflrmed by Generals Mart and Gomez shortly
after they landed in Cuba In March. 1888. ana
has been reissued by the present Cuban Govern
nent over the signature Of Its President the
Marquis de Santa Lucia 1t declares that any
person who shall suggest within the CUBAN
ranks a settlement of the present war on any
grounds less than that OF absolute independence
shall be Immediately shot without court-mar-
tial If that were not sufficient to prevent the
consideration OF other terms Of peace by the Gu
bans there is clause in their constitution when
would stand in the way. Article ii OF that docu-
ment reads follows:
The treaty OF peace with Spain. which must nee
essary have for its basis the absolute independence
OF the island OF Cuba, must be ratihed py tne uos-
ernment Council and by an assembly OF representa-
tves convened expressly for this purpose.
II is said. therefore, that any offer OF Its SER
vices on the part OF the United states Govern,
ment to bring the Cuban revolution 10 an emu
would result in nothing unless there was great
and sudden change in the sentiments OF the Gu
ban people So far the Cubans In this cou',-
try are concerned they are said to be a unit
against accepting any promises Of reform that
Spain might make. even II they included the
broadest sort OF home rule They are convinced
they saw that their brethren In Cuba are on the
sure road 10 success In behalf Of their cause ana
are enthusiastic in their declarations that Spain
will be driven 10 acknowledge the independence
OF the island IN spite OF herself. SO they scout
the idea of the republic accepting any terms from
Spair save On the lines laid down as stated
