ing. Their attitude is one of sullcn hos
tility toward Americans. The better
class in Cuba favor the annexation IF
the island to the United States and Il
majority of the masses are ready and
anxious to work and accept the shelter
and protection afforded by an American
protectorate; but they are influenced by
a certain class of rabid orators and
breeders of sedition and rebellion against
anything smacking of law and order.
This inhammatory class demands and
urges the recognition of Cuba for Gu
bans and spurns all offers or suggestions
tending to prosperity under an American
protectorate and excites popular discon-
tent. This is exactly the class that
pushes itself most into evidence and
whose views and opinions are most over
heard and published.
Their advice to the Cubans is to re-
pudatc all offers of peace or Il cessa-
ton of hostilities and to look upon an
armisticc as an agreement between the
United States and Spain on their own
account and not binding upon the free
and independent state of Cuba, whose
liberating army not only repudiates paci-
fcation, but will ignore the armistice TO
the point of continuing to wage war
and shooting every Spaniards i'll the
field.
4 wild rumor is afoat to the effect
that the Cuban army will attack San
tiago and capture it, to the glory of the
Cuban arms, as soon as the American
garrison is weakened This is directly
traceabe to the above mentioned
source.
The influence cXcrted by such Il body
of men against law and order is for
mida BILE. This bysterical people de
mands suppression with an iron haud.
While still in embryo. this influence is
alroodv felt among certain classes who
refuse to work or serve the government
until clear statement of the freedom
and independence of their country is
made clear.

perative to the moulding of future policy,
and to explain whatever harsh steps may

insurgents.
Key West Fla. Aug. 15.-The torpedo

of these points, however, General Lee
asserts he knows nothing. He would not
