1T PLEASES THEM
MIOSt Spaniards in Cuba Like the
Tone of the Presidents
Message.
ROVernment Does Not Now Fear
Interference With Its
Programme.
lDltra-Spaniards Resent the Inn
piled Purpose to Intervene
in Any Case.

New YORK, Dec. s. "A dispatch to
The Tribune from Havana says: Pres
kdent McKinley's message is received
quietly. Satisfaction is felt in official
rircles over the statement that the rec
ognition Of either belligerency or indie
pendence is not justitiable under pres
ent conditions.
The credit which the president gives
for conducting the war on humane prln'
ciples and for improving the condltlon
of the reconcentradoes, will strengthen
Captain General Blanco in carrying
out this policy.
The official feeling may be sum-
mar. zed in the statement that the gov
eminent does not now fear the embar-
rassmcnt which might come from &C
Hion by the United States before in
srruCtions from Madrid could be car
xied into effect. The hint of ultimate
intervention causes some uneaslness
and discussion has already arisen over
what is met by reasonable time,
but palace officials do not interpret 1t as
likely to prevent the application of au-
tunomy within the time needed for
carving out the details of the system
as directed from Madrid.
Autonomists, Reformists and Con-
servatives, who support Sagasta and
Blanco, will make the message the basis
of movement for the early union OF
all parties to uphold the hands of the
government in the colonial policy.
Commercial interests are pleased with
the pacific tone of the message, though
not taking it as conclusive settlement.
UItra-Spauiards DispIeased.
The ultra.S Spanish party is dissatis-
fed. 1t resents the implied purpose
OF the United States to intervene at
future time, if peace is not re-estab-
ished under autonomy as an unjustifi-
able interference with SPANS sover-
eighty. It also resents the reference to
flibuStering.
The general comment is that the
message leaves the question Of the rela.
tlons of the United States to Spain and
Cuba about where it was before What
ever the ultimate effect may be, the
immediate result is to strengthen the
purpose of Captain General Blanco to
carry out the civil provisions of auton-
omy, while pressing avigorous military
campaign against the insurgents who
refuse to accept the new regime.
In official circles there is strong
feeling that congress will take no action
