prior to embarkirg yesterday for Ha-
vana, made the following statement:
II so to Cuba with full confidence in
the efficacy of the rev program to in
sure immediate and certain success.
My military and political action 1 shall
develop simultaneously. I have not
been instructed to maitptain any reserve
regarding the intentions to bestow the
full autonomy offered by the Liberal
party wher, I was in the opposition.
Il have not consulted the government
about the divisional command, but so
as to have more time for political af-
fairs, I wished to be accompanied by
generals like General Parade, who, as
second III command will bear the brunt
Of the military action, and General
Pardo, who will direct the campaign
at the head Of the army.
Il cannot fix a date for the termina-
ton of the war. One of my generals
has expressed himself confident of re-
turning victorious in seven months
Matters might take turn to conform
with his surmise, but If all ends we'll it
will make no difference even if we do
take little longer to reach peace"

The Proposals of American
BimetalliStS
THE DIPLOMATIC WORDING
SHOWS INTENTION TO AVOID
OFFENSE
The Indian Mints Will Not Be Opened
to Silver-No Conference Will
Be Needed
Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
LONDON, Oct. 2O.-Lord Salisbury to-
night sent to Ambassador Hay the reply
of the British government to the propos-
ais of the American bimetallic commits
sion. headed by Senator Wolcott. 1t is
a automatically worded note. His lord
ship says the government of Great
Britain is not able to reopen the Indian
mints at present. He regrets the in
ability to accede to the proposals Of the
American commissioners, Great Britain
having as great an interest as the United
States and France in securing stable
par exchange for gold and silver and the
enlarged use of silver.
Under the circumstances, Lord Sails
bury says the British government does
not see the desirability of an interna-
tional monetary conference, but will be
pleased to consider any other practical
suggestions from the United States.
Lord Salisbury enclosed with the note
copy of the statement Of Sir ]. West
land, head of the financial department
Of India, which was under discussion,
and which takes strong grounds against
the reopening of the India mints.
