-E) senor Canovas ha dicho haber recib-
do I'm telegrama de Mr.. Cleveland, quien elo-
ga las reformas, diciendo que con elias Es-
pana ha lido mas ALA de 10 que podfa esperar-
Sc. Anadio que, segtln sus noticias, ell <He-
raldo de Nueva York, ha publicado un suelto
ohcloso, en- el que dice que contraeran grandes
responsibilities los jefes rebeldes que no sc
sometan aceptando las reformas. Con respecto
la deuda de Cuba, ha manifsstado ell iefe del
gobierno que NADIA puede decirse todavfa, por-
que Sc ignora cuaEto ascendera, asf como la
ctra del eJereito que sera precise seguir soste
n1endo en- la gran Antilla. Este delcado asun-
to ha dicho que estudiara detenidamente Y
que con facilidad resolvera Con respecto
al estado de Ia guerra, abriga ell jefe del go
blern) excelentes impresiones, pues los rebel
des retroceden hacia Oriente ell general Wey-
Ter, despu@s de llegar hasta la trocha de Juoa-
ro Moron, subdividira convenientemente las
tropas por batallones companfas, para CONT
nuar la persecution parcial de los grupos dis
persos. Hasta tanto que este suceda, Sc aplaza
el planteamlento de las reformas. Con respec
to la modification del censo electoral de Gu
ba, Ia dlchO que es una question que no tiene
plenamente estudiada. Tsrmin6 diciendo que
los puertos de los Estados Unidos estan com
pletamente cerrados para la insurrecci6n, de
manera que no Podran seguir saliendo de allf
expediciones flibusteras.
Ell general Gonzalez Muiloz considera
excelentes e inmejorables las reformas, dadas
las circunstancias actuales. El general Arolas
| las juzga efcaces para restar a la rebellion ell
apoyo de los Estados Unidos sin ell cual no
pueden subsistir FL general Suarez Inclan
coincide con esta appreciation, pero estima que
las reformas por ST solas, no infuiran en- la
marcha de la guerra nj en- su rapida termina-
clon, ,puesto que los rebeldes persisten en- decla-
rar que aspiran la independence. Ell gene
raj Bernal juzga premature ell planteamiento de
las reformas dice que debiera esperarse que
la rebellion estuviese mas quebrantada.
-En Burdeos, un negociante espaflol Sc
ha presentado al Comisario de policfa de-
nunciando ell hecho de que, viajando, al ha-
llarse cerca de Baycha, lie ha sido robado un
saquito en- ell que llevaba 80. 900 frances.
-~El Liberal> sigue dedicando elogios 4
las reformas, dicendo que todos debemos
apoyarlas colaborar en- su Immediate acer-
tado planteamiento, viendo en- elias ell medic
mejor para llegar la paz sin detrimento
de la dignidad nacional.
-Dfcese que la enfermedad que sufre ell
senior Romero Rob'edo es motivada por los
diegustos que le ha proporcionado la marcha
de los asuntos de Cuba. Por supuesto que esos
| disgustos deben ser hiios de las reformas. Don
Francisco que con su Influenza fatal y con la
polftica que Sc ha seguido en- las colonias DOS
ha traido los bales que estamos bailando, Sc
creyo sin duda que las cosas habian de seguir
como anteriormente. ST siquiera estos DISCUS
