Ex-Minister Hannis Taylor Re-
iterates His Statements Re-
garding Cuba.
Ruling Glasses in Spain Resolved
Not to Make Any Con-
SESSIONS.
Neyler Must Eat His Words or
Submit to a Spanish Court
martial.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-The Herald
prints a remarkable letter from Hannis
TAYLOR, former United States minister
to Spain, in which, after telling OF his
strenuous efforts to prevent a rupture
of diplomatic relations between the two
countries during the dark days OF the
Competitor case, he asserts that the
ruling classes of Spain are determined
to refuse any concessions which would
be accepted by the Cubans. Mr.. Tay.
Tor, the seal Of secrecy having been re.
moved, tells how he and Senator Cas-
telar tried to persuade the late Premier
Canovas to offer genuine reforms to the
Cubans, as that otherwise Intervention
by the United States must follow in.
eyitahly:
T. This was Mr.. Taylor's attitude as a
diplomatic representive anxious to pre-.
vent war. For a time he believed, he
avs, that the iron premier had yielded.
But when the proposed reforms were
made public, he says, II saw that the
great man had trihed with US as if we
were children"
All q SnauOWy 1TeteuSc.
MIR. Taylor denounces the .'hollow.
ness and emptiness Of the whole shad-
owy pretense embodied in the royal de.
cree of February, 1884," and after dis
cussing what he believes to be the -atti.
tude of Spain's ruling classes, says he
sees no solution of the Cuban problem
which will end the inhuman strife e
cept intervention by this country.
There are many dramatic passages in
MI. Taylor's letter, and it makes plain
much that was dark. Mr.. Taylor's let
ter concludes as follows:
"In my former article l deliberately
ventured to assert that I am satisfied,
after careful investigation, that the
ruling classes in Spain, civil, clerical
and military, are resolved, re.
CARELESS Of party, to refuse
to make any concessions to their
rebellious colonists as would meet with
their acceptance. l cannot doubt tina,
any minister who dares to undertake
such a perilous enterprise will be at
once discredited and driven from Office,
and it will be great weakness upon oul
part to be misled by any false hope:
and promises in that regard.
events in the future will demon
strate that I am right on that point. O
course, if General Blanco had brough'
with him anything like autonomy hi
would have proclaimed it at once. Hi
effort, Oh the contrary, was to concea
the fact that he was powerless to give
any assurance.
Il am now the advocate of such in

it is the only remaining means by which
peace in Cuba can possibly be secured
