New York, September 1l.-A dispatch
to the World from Washington Gays
State department officials refuse TO dis
cuss the bearing which the capture by
Cuban insurgents OF Victoria de las Lunas
may have upon the according oil peiiis-
eront rights. Such recognition, they ar
que. rests with the president alone, ana

TO which the revolutionary government
must have established Itself to Justify Of

that the sane town was captured by the
insurgents IN the ten years war ana diu

natlons.
While some department officials are
warm friends OF Cuban independence, they
hesitate TO cxpress the belief that the VIC

of action by tho president, as they think

TO offend Spain.
1t In not believed that anything short OF
tho withdrawal OF Spanish troops from

| ereucy or Independence al this time,
| From the excitment reported from Mad
rid, II Ia possible that Captain General

! speedily retake the town 10 produced by Tia
