WASHINGTON, April 4.-The Cuban
government (meaning thereby the pres

the president of the United States to
respect the will of the majority of the
people Of Cuba. The appeal declares
that the majority represents those in
favor of home rule under Spanish SOW

minority; that the majority has right
to rule its own destinies; that it would
be an injustice for a foreign will, mean.

Official Extract From General Woodford's
Telegram to the President.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The follow
ing is an abstract from the telegram
received from General Woodford on the
evening of March 81, 1893, on the gen.
eral situation in Cuba. He informs the
government of the United States that
General Blanco has revoked the bando
relating to the reconcen tradoes in the
western provinces Of Cuba, which are
understood to be the provinces Of Ma.
tanzas, Santa Clara, Habana, and Pinar
del Rio; that the Spanish government
has placed at the disposal of the gov.
ernor general, the credit of 5000, 900
pesetas ($60O, ,000) to the end that the
country people may return at once and
with success to their labors. The
Spanish government will accept what
ever assistance to feed and succor the
necessitious may be sent from the
United States, in accordance with the
plan now in operation.
He proposes to confide the preparation
for an honorable and stable peace to
the insular parliament, without whose
concurrence the Spanish government
would not be able to arrive at the final
result, being understood that powers
reserved by the constitution to the
central government are not lessened or
diminished. AS the Cuban chambers
will not meet until May a, the Spanish
government will not on it's part object
to the suspension Of hostilities, if asked
for by the insurgents from the general
in chief, to whom it will belong to
determine the duration and condition
Of the suspension.
The president will communicate with
congress as soon as he can prepare q
message.
