uausTEtD on CUBA.

Murat Halstead writes to the New YORK
Herald that he feels authorized to say
not from official communications. but
by the. force Of current facts-that be-
fore the close OF the present rainy sea-
son In Cuba--and that IS to say SUD
stantially, without further military
operat,ons-the Cubans will have gained
their liberties and that the spaniards'
without the loss OF the honor OF their
arms or the fail OF the dynasty, VIII
withdraw their army and feet from the
island. surrenderng the rights OF SPAN
for compensation to the Cuban Govern
ment Mr.. Halstead says further, that
the decisive act OF peace-making VIII
be that Of the United States through an
enabling act by Congress for the exer-
else of extraordinary authority by the
President. and outlines the settlement
programme as to details as follows:
/. Cuban independence.
.. Spanish evacuation Of the Island OF
Cuba
2. Indemnify 10 Spain for surrender OF
sovereignty. TO be paid in Cuban bonds,
secured by customs revenues. the collec-
ton OF which shall be supervised and
applied by representatives OF the United
States.
Mr.. Halstead also gives some interest
ing facts about the probable revenues
Of Cuba. and enters into long argu-
ment 10 show how the political crisis
in Spain is operating in favor OF peace
on the basis Of the programme he pre-
sents. But the real foundation OF the
faith that Is in Mr.. Halstead Is the
notice which he says has been received
AT Madrid. that the French Rothschilds
will not loan Spain any more money al
ter the 1st Of July. The Spanish loans
for carving on the war in Cuba have
been placed almost exclusively in Paris,
Spain having no credit worth speaking
of anywhere else. IT, therefore, IT be
true that the French banks represent
ing the Rothschlds have concluded That
'4he possibility of getting money out OF
Cuba by Spain is now too remote 10

above referred TO, Mr. Hastead may be
far from being too optimistic. The money
power has before this solved much more
difficult problems than the Cuban
problem
