ia that he has a scheme for the purchase

means certain that Spain will consent
to such a transaction, or that a price
can be agreed upon within Abe power
of the CuDans to pay. While it is ad.
mitted that the Spanish people would
hardly be willing to close the war
which has cost such a tremendous sum
by a mere commercial transaction, II
is thought by many that this scheme
is the most available of any which has
been Matched for the settlement Of the

Cuba wants independence, and the
only two things which stand in the
way Of this bargain in the interests OF

the price and Spanish pride, which

Cubans stand ready to pay $50, Geo.
