"rhe minister OF state (thc Duke Of
Tetuap) while directing me to bring
10 the knowledge OF your ,xceliency
the foregoing Views, instruc,s me to
remark how pleased he was to observe
that hia opinion on this point also
agrees with ,ours. No one is more
fully aware ~ the serious evils suf.
Tered by the Spaniards and aliens In
consequence Of the instruction than
the government OF his majesty.
1.-THE government OF his majesty
most heartily thanks that of the
United States for the kind advice II
bestows on Spain, but 1t wishes to state
and entertains the confidence that
your excellency will readily see that 1t
has been forestaliiDg Itself for q long
time past. Ii follows, therefore, as IA
matter OF course, that 1t will comply
with 1t In n practical manner as soon
as circumstances make 1t possible.
"Your exceliency will have seen,
nevertheless, how the announcement
Of this concurrence OF Views has been
received. The insurgents, elated by tho
strength which they have acquired
through the aid Of certain number o.
citizens OF the Upited States, nave
contemptuously repealed, by the me.
dunn Of tho Cubaus residing in tbi,
Republic, any idea that the govern
msnt ut Washington can intervene In
the contest, either with Its advice or
in other manner, on the suppositi0n
that the declarations OF disiuterested.
ness on the part OF the government OF
the United States are false and 1t
wishes to get po.sessi0u of the island
one OF these days. Hence it is evident
that no success would attend such
mediation, which they repel, even
admitting that the mother country
would condescend to treat with its re.
bellious subjects as one power with
another, thus surely Jeopardizing lis
future authority. detracting from its
national dignity and impsiring It's In
dependence, from which 1t has at all
times shown such great earnestness as
history teaches. In brief, there is no
effectual way to pscify Cuba unless u
begins with the actual submission OF
the armed rebels to the mother
country.
"rhe government OF bis majesty Is
already very grateful TO that OF the
United States for its intention to
prosecute the unlawful expeditions to
Cuba for some OF its citizens with
more vigor than In the past, sfter
making judicial investigation as to
the adequacy OF its laws when hoDesl-
ly enforced.
"Sull, the high moral sense OF the
government at Washington will un-
doubteuIy suggest to 1t other more
effective means OF preventing hence.
fsrth, what 10 now the case a struggle
which Is going on go near lis shores
and which is proving 80 Injurious TO
Industry and commerce, a TACT justly
deplored by your exceilency, beipg
prolonged exclusively by the powerful
assistance which Ihe rebellion finds In
the territory OF this great Republic,
against the wishes of all those who
love law and order.
"rhe constant violations Of internR-
tional Law in its territory lie especially
manifested on the part Of the Cuban
emigran ts, W no care nothing for the
Losses suffered In the meanwhile by
the citizens OF the United States and
OF Spain through the prolongation of
the war. The spanish government on
its part has done much anu will do
more every day, IN order to achieve
such desirable END, by lendesvoring to
correct the mis!tkes OF public opinion
in me United States and by exposing
the,plots and calumnies OF Its reD=l-
lious subjects.
SIT may we'll happen that the dec.
lsrations recently made In the most
solemn form by the government OF his
majesty, concerning the intentions
for the future, will also contribute in
large measure to crafty the wisn that
your excellency clearly expressed In
your note, namely, mat all the people
OF the United States, convinced that
we are in the right, will completely
cease to extend unlawful aid 10 the In
surgenW. When the government Of
the United States shall once be- con.
vinced Of our being right, and when
that homes, conviction shall In some
manner BIO made public, but little more
will be required in order that all those
In Cuba VINO are striving to accom-.
plish the total ruin Of the beautiful
country in which they were born, being
hopeless of outside help aud powerless
by themselves, will lay down their
arms.
