MAY BUY THE ISLAND.
Cubans Are Willing 10 Purchase OF
Spain.

New York. Nov 27.-Senor T. Es-
trada. the Cuban delegate to the Uni
ted States, when seen yesterday, prac-
tically confirmed the story published by
Senior Jose de Armas Cardenas to the
effect that he had, on behalf of the
Cuban patriots, made a proposition to
Prime Minister CanOvaS for the pur-
chase Of Cuba from Spain. Senior
Palma says lie had two interviews with
Canovas and their proposition was con-
sidered, but there was a hitch when
it came to the matter of giving q guar
antee that Spain should carry out her
promise. Senior Palma said that the
Cubans are still ready to treat with
Spain and pay a reasonable sum if the
campaign of devastation in Cuba is
ended. He also said that it vas tue
that Senior Armas went to Paris last
summer and that the senior had a Dri-
Vate understanding with him before
he left He said he was not at lib
erty just now to say what that prep
OSition was.
When asked if it was proposed to
pay Spain 500 100000 for Cuba's indie
pendence, Senior Palma replied: L do
not care to talk about money or defin-
ate sums. Tt is no matter about that
now, anyhow. But 1 will say this,
that the Cubans are still willing 10
pay a reasonable indemnificatiOn to
Spain. 1t must be guaranteed absolute
independence, however, before they will
lay down their. arms. Cuba is free
now. We are no longer a Spanish COL
Cny.
We have arms in our hands that
viii make our independence assured
and we shall never lay them down IN
til the freedom of Cuba is recognized
by Spain and by the world. At q word
from President Cleveland we are ready
to disarm at once on the guarantee
of independence. We are ready to ne
gotiate with Spain as to the amount
to be paid.
1T would be improper for me to
speak Cor the Cubans now, or to say
how much they are willing to concede.
but if the United States will guarantee
Spain's Acknowledgement of our in
dependence we will give the best bank
ers' guarantee that we Will pay a reas-
enable indemnity

New York, Nov. IA Herald special
from Washington says:
4 report has been current here for
several days to the effect that Consul
General Lee would not return to Ha-
vana. Rumors have also been current
to the effect that the Spanish govern
ment was displeased with General
Lees outspoken sympathy for the in
SurgentS, and that in consequence of
this and his supposed report in favor
of intervention he would be considered
persona non grata if he should re-
turn to Havana to resume his duties.
General Lee was asked about these
rumors yesterday He emphatically
stated that it was his present purpose
to return to Havana in the near flu
ture. He intimated that he had
changed his plans about taking Mrs
Lee to Havana with him. and in eX-
PLANTATION stated that affairs there
were too unsettled to make any plans
for her stay in that city. He would
not discuss the question OF SPANS
feeling toward him.
Mr.. Lee asserted that he does not
believe there will be any immediate
change in the policy of the administra-
ton, and it is believed he is rather
disappointed. He is convinced that
intervention by the United States VIII
come sooner or later and, although he
Will not admit it, there are reasons
for believing that he was anxious to
have the president announce an inter
vention policy in his forthcoming mes
sage. There are assurances from sew
eral official sources that the president
will do nothing of the kind. If devel-
Opments in Cuba or in Spain necessi-
tate a change of policy it will be an
nounced in a special message.
A cabinet officer said yesterday that
the president fully realized the inabil-
ity of Spain to end the war during
the present winter, and that the Uni
ted States could hardly be expected to
keep their hands off much longer. AT
the same time the president was re-
luctant TO adopt more aggressive pol
icy than he has followed in the past,
for the reason that he does not want
to do anything to disturb business in
terests in the country.

Chicago, Nov 27.-The Chicago Uni

Billy Gallagher of Oakland put Harry
Slater of New Orleans to sleep in nine
rounds. The men were matched for 10
rounds. Gallagher tipped the scales at

man was in splendid. condition and
outpointed his opponent at every stage
of the fight. Gallagher had the adj
vantage in height and reach The first
two rounds were slow, but from that
time on Gallagher went after his man
and forced the fighting from start to
finish. In the fourth round he sent
Slater TO the ground with right
handler on the head and reoeated it in
the fifth. Gallagher kept at his man
and did effective work with his body
blows. Slater landed several times,
but his blows lacked force and he was
plainly out of his class. The end came
in the ninth round. After a scant min
