CUBA LOST TO SPAIN.

Proposition of Gomez and C1sneros
TO Buy the Island.
NEW YORK, March pa dispatch
to the World from Havana says:
Only a few of the more excitable
Spanish officers refuse to admit that
Cuba is lost 10 the Crown. Resident
Spanish confess that they can see no
other outcome. The calmest minds
predict the end of the Spanish rule in
two years.
The proposition of Cisneros and Go
mez to buy the island is rapidly grow
ing in popularity here. It's warmest ad-
vocates are Spanish and Cuban resi-
dents here loyal TO the crown. They
are the active financial and business
men OF the island, and the owners of
eight-tenths of its wealth and sources
of wealth.
The Spanish clement is condemning
with more and more emphasis the
fruitIess and leXhausting policy of Gen
eral Weyler. They see his idea of pa
cifcation is depopulation, his plan for
peace devastation.
