Tobacco Arrives in New York.
Havana, via Key West, Fla, December
1S.-It is announced semi-officially that
Gen. Sanguilly, the insurgent leader, has
written to Marshal Blanoo Offering the
latter his services unoonditionally.
Some of the richest Spaniards OF Cuba
have held further meetings here, at Glen
fuegos and at Sagua to consider the ad-
visibility of sending petition to Presi
dent Mckinley asking for the establish
Cuba if, within six months the govern
ment's plans for the pacifcation of the
island give no results.
The government at Madrid has oabled
to Marshal Blanco ordering him to pro-
cure supplies by all possible means for the
troops and others In need of them.
Later advices from Madrid seem to
show that Deputy Amblard will be en-
trusted with other offers to the Cuban
Junta when he reaches New York. He
is said TO have informed the Spanish
ministers that he counted upon the ad-
hersnce of General Sanguilly to the new
order of things and, If 1T is true that the
latter hiss offered his services to the
Captain-General, the influence of Am
blard at Madrid will be greatly increased
In fact, he is said, to have already re-
celved considerable sums of money to
meet his expenses and, 1t is further
stated, the reformists and automists here
will not definitely complete their union
until his return to Havana.
sANGUILLY UNDER SUSPICION.
New York, December l3.-At the Cuban
Junta headquarters here and from other
sources it was learned that Sanguilly's g
loyalty to the Cuban cause had been uH-
der suspicion for some time, and that his
action in offering his services uncon-
ditioually to General Blanco. was by no
means a surprise. Delegate Palma, how
ever, speaking for publication, said he
could hardly believe that Sanguilly had
capitulated, but he did not seem TO attach
much Importance to the report evan If
true. A Cuban merchant, prominent
among the rev oIutionists in this city said
Sanguilly was not likely to go again
within the insurgent lines and whatever
action he had taken would have no effect
upon the insurgent leaders still in the
field.
