The lying about the Cuban situation
is not all done by the Spaniards. though
they are probably a close second. For
instance, it has come out conciusively
that Maceo was not lured into trap
and assassinated, but fell as the result
of his own recklessness in leading a
charge on a Spanish column. Since
his death the Cubans see n to have be-
come disheartened and the Spanish
have practically cleared the most i'm
portant province. that of Pinar del Rio.
1t * claimed that Spain is about
to propose reforms for Cuba
that will satisfy the insurgents
and peace may be restored ere long.
On the other hand it is stated that
whatever the temporary discourage
ments Of the rebels they will never ac-
cept anything short of Cuba libre'
and will wage war unrelentingly until
they wear the Spanish out and force
them to Withdraw from the island.
The general feeling in this country at
present is in favor OF letting them fight
awhile longer If they want to. They
have practically destroyed the material
interests of the island already.
