sides this, Caballero was Instructed TO
inform the iusurSent leaders that the

eStiy establish the new autonomlSt re-
glme if the leaders OF the insurgents
would accept the propositions mace
them.
Although Caballero has not returned
from Santiago de Cuba, confidential ad-
vices which have reached the Spanish
officials here seem TO indicate that Ca
ballero has so far been unsucceSSfG! 4t
is understood that General Rab, has re-
piled that he believes a successful. end
lug of the war IN favor OF the insurgents
is approaching; that the CuoanS. with
rhe aid Of the United States. Will gain
their Independents. and that therefore,
ne prefers to continue fighting the
Spaniards until the 6nai victory is Won.
Caballero also negotiated with Cen
eral Duvalen. the F-eGch leader OF the
insurgents. There seems TO be no init
nation as to the result Of the Caballero'S
negotiation with General Duvaten, al
though it may be judged from the, atti-
ruds assumed by General Rabi that the
pe..ce negotiations are likely TO falt lat

More Irons In the Fire.
General Pan6o, meanwhile. acting in
conjunction with Marshal Blanco. has
put other irons in the fire III the hope OF
prevailing upon the insurgents to CONS

negotiation with three leaders Of the
Cuban revolution and has been endeav-
oring to induce. them to go to different
distant camps, there to use their lntiu-
ence to bring about peace, on the prom
ise of Cuba being accorded a really au-
sonomous form Of government. These
three men were also offered money for
themselves and were to have been FUR
nished with large sums OF money to dis
tribute among their friends. But 1t IS
understood they have refused to become
agents of General PanGo, alleging as
their excuses that they have no lndu.
euce with the insurgeut leaders OF the
principal rebel territories and that they
would be riskiug their lives should they
venture into the iusurgent camp.
In some quarters 1t IS believed that
the reluctance to accept the overtures
of General Pando is due to the fact that
the insurgents are anticipating some
stroug steps IL their favor when the
United States congress meets. 1t IS
generally admitted that General PanGo
is somewhat mortified with the non
success of his pans up TO the present
