Spanish Despair.

A most amazing change of sentiment
eppears to be working in Spain Up to
within q short time ago 1t would have
been unsafe for any newspaper or public
possibility of an abandonment of Cuba.
Now, both leading journals and poll
tcians are openly debating the question
of evacuation. The truth has been forced
apon the country at last, and the un-
pleasant fact is recognized that the war
is a failure and the Republic, in effect
established ed
Prominent Spanish military authorities
in Madrid admit that disease has Reduced
the strength OF Weyler's army at least
cne-haIf, and that the brilliant campaign
inaUgurated by Gen. Gomez with the adj
vent OF the rainy season finds the
royaIist power il q position of inability
TO meet it with success. Ministers end
nnanciers now openly agree that there
will not be money with which to con-
tinue the struggle, and it is con -e,Ied
on all hands that the final collapse is
very near.
In view OF these conditions, it would
be q gracious and friendly thing for the
United States 10 relieve Spain oG hopeless
dilemma by recognizing the independence
of the Cuban Republic. That would end
the matter Spain wants to escape ffom
Che present position, but does Rot know
how 20 do it. A recognition OF independ-

In Il letter received from the Secretary

Secretary points out that there has been
