MILL AWAIT NEWS FROM LIZ
SOME IMPORTANT ADvICEs FROM
HAVANA ARE EXPECTED
THIS WEEK.
REBELS WILL NOT ACCEPT AUTONOMY
I,.urpepts in the Field, 1t Is Said,
Arc Anxious to Lay Their Case
Before the United States
Government.

New York, Nov. IA dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Important advices are expected from
| Consul General Lee at Havana this
week. By this it Is thought that some
idea should be had as to whether Gen.
Blanco is causing improvement in the
condition of the reconcentradoes. The
insurgent leaders have already stated
Enthusiastically that they will not accept
! autonomy. Little hope is felt in admin
istration circles that they will change
| their minds. Nevertheless an intima-
| ton has been thrown out that Gen.
Gomez and his associates in the field
! were awaiting an opportune time to com.
municate with the representatives OF
| the United States. Their position Is
said to be that as this country has OF,
fered it's good offices to Spain to end
the war, it is competent to receive a
suggestion from the other parties to the
war. While the insurgents have not
received recognition as belligerents, they
want to be treated as such In making
a proposition for peace. An inkling OF
their purpose has been received. This
Is to make known through the consul
general their desire to have the United
States act as intermediary with Spain
in arranging the terms of peace, but
peace on the basis of independence
This Is meant as a counter movement
to the proffer of autonomy. Spain has
already declared that Cuba can not buy
independence, but the insurgents do moi
care for that. While Strengthening
themselves in the field they intend t.
do some diplomatic fencing.
No special instructions were giyer
Gen. Lee, as full confidence is felt in hi
discretion. A proposition from the in
surgents for mediation by the United
States on the basis suggested might b
transmitted to Washington, but il
on pretty accurate information that be
fore long both the Sagasta ministr!
and the insurgents will be awaiting
themselves of the good Offices of thi,
country, though just how this will com,
about is uncertain. Some sanguine of
ficials predict peace within three months

Stomach troubles are 80 common and

people are apt to look with suspicion on
any remedy claiming to be a radical, per

their acuteness in never being hum

This fear of being humbugged may be
carried too far; so far, in fact. that
many persons suffer for years with weak
digestion rather than risk little time
and money in faithfully testing the
