Madrid, Nov. 2.--Marshal Blanco, the
new captain general OF Cuba, has sent a
rnent, saying that he has formed a fav-
orable opinion regarding the prospects
for the pacification Of Cuba.
A semi-official note was circulated to-
day giving a more exact indication OF
] the contents OF the Spanish note in reply
: to the communicat ton Of the United
States on the subject Of Cuba than has
hitherto been published.
The first part of the reply is a para
phrase Of the latest note of the United
! States. II concludes with the assurance
friendly feeling as is expressed on be-
4 NAH OF lfle OnlleQ States.
The second part Of the reply goes into
Ella oorate details concerning the various
I filibustering expeditions. Spain. in con-
Guiding that portion OF her reply 10 the
United States, expresses the hope that
| t.lis phase OF the situation viii be chang
| ed and that the United States will try 10
prevent further violations Of information
al law.
Replying to the offer OF mediation
made by the United States. Spain says
she hopes the United States will act 10y
ally and correctly in helping Spain TO
pacify Cuba, especially in view of the
fact that such an extended form of au-
economist government is about to be sin
cerely granted.
The general feeling here is more hope
fui OF a peaceful outcome OF the situa-
ton, especially since Marshal Blanco's
arrival in Havana, as it is believed that
his presence will greatly further the sow
ing Of the Cuban problem. At the same
time it is pointed out that the submits
zion of the insurgents cannot he expect
ed unless they are entirly abandoned
by the United Saates.'
the effect that all money found upon the
persons of killed or captured insurgent
ffiocers is to be deposited in the fund for
the relief OF invalid Spanish soldiers.
Orders nave been issued that all Span
ish troops are to leave within two
months the unused churches in which
they have hitherto been housed for lack
Of other accommodations.

Special dispatches received here from
Madrid say that the recent magazine ar
ticle of Hannis Taylor, the former minis
ter of the United States az Madrid, on
the Cuban affairs, has produced an I'M
pleasant feeling at the Spanish capital,
and il IS added that the belief prevails
there that the government will be COM |

ut is very strange that the Three |

government official aboard as a guaran- |

publishes a report Of an intervitw with |
the United States ambassador to Ger
many. Andrew d. White, on the subject /
Of Cuba, in which Mr.. White is quoted |
as saying that the Americans do not de-
sire the annexation Of Cuba, but that hu-
mainly and commercial interests will
compel them 10 intervene.
The recall o: General Weyler, Mr.
White is said 10 have continued, has
made favorable impression in the Unit

many sympathizers.
The Americans, he Is quoted as saying,
will patiently await the realization OF
autonomy. and when I: is realized the re-
lG:ions between Spain and the United
