hear them. This called forth applause
and stamping of feet, mingled with

4 DENIAL REGARDINa oUBA.
Alleged Agreement Between the United
Sfnten and Snain Nnt l,nncInded.

States and Spain Not Concluded.
Washington, d. c., Jan. Alt is
positively and authoritatively denied
that the United States and Spain have
practically concluded an agreement
regarding terms to be offered the
insurgents for the settlement OF the
Cuban rebellion. 1t is denied also
that special envoy OF Spain has been,
or is to be, sent to the United States
shortly as private nagotiator with
special instructions from Senior Cano-
vas. This latter rsport probably arises
from the fact that Senior Solar arrived
in Washington recently to succeed one
of the secretaries of tine legation.
Mr.. Quesada of the Cuban Junta re-
ceived, to-day. long letter from his
uncle, Salvatore de Uisneros, the presi-
dent of the Cuban Republic. which,
by Inference, gives denial to the re-
ports that the insurgents are willing 10
negotiate terms OF peace on any other
basis than absolute independence.
Senior Quesada declares that there 10
absolutely no truth in the reports of a
pending compromise on basis of home
rule for the Cubans.
London, Eng, Jan. ia dispatch
to the Pail Mall Gazette from Madrid
says that at Cabinet meeting just
held the Queen Regent presiding, it
was agreed to introduce reforms in the
Island of Cuba, and royal decree on
the subject will be published ON the

conspiring against the government, will
