1T now appears that Colonel Ruiz Wis
tied the insurgent camp in his private or
unofficial capacity, and that with the ex-
ception Of one or two of the authorities
! Of the palace, and possibly a few others,
no one knew of his errand or departure.
1t would seem, therefore, that he went
/ into the insurgent camp in an unofficial or
private character, and not under flag of
truce, or other official protection in war,
a procedure always hazardous to the life
! Of any one who attempts it,
! Both of these dispatches are addressed
/ to Assistant Secretary Of State Day, and
not to Secretary Sherman.
| WOODFORD'S INSTRUCTIONS.
| Washington, Feb. Inquiry at the
state department develops the fact that
10 instructions additional to those under
which he was acting, in relation to the
termination of the war in Cuba, have been
sent to Minister Woodford, so that if he
! presented an additional note to the Span
ish foreign Office last Saturday, as has
| been reported, ne was simply carrying
out the instructions from the president of
which the latter gave an abstract in his
annual message to congress when it as
sembIed in December last. It is not be-
lived that there have been any steps Of
great Importance in the negotiations, or
taht Senior Sgasta has made any import
| ant communication in answer to Minister
Woodford, else the latter would have
cabled the fast to the state department
and, SO far, it is said, nothing of the sort
has been received from him.
WAR NOT NEARLY OVER.
Cleveland, Ohio, Feb. 7.-Dr. n. c.
Thomas Of illinois, who has just returned
from Cuba, where he has been studying
the exeisting conditions on the Island for
/ several months past. is now in Cleveland,
and in speaking of the war said:
From the present indications the war
in Cuba viii continue for long time TO
! come. The Spanish will never grant the
Cubans their liberty so Ions as they can
possibly help il. The Spanish are not
only proud, but patriotic people. They
realize that four hundred years ago they
We're the greatest and most powerful ma
ton, and ruled one-tenth of the land on
the globe.
Treaty between the Cubans and Span
ish is absolutely out of the question. The
| hatred between them was strong before
the war and such terrible suffering as
both SIDES have endured since the warhas
! commenced has intensified this feeling
The talk of Cubans accepting home rule IS
simply ridiculous. Equally absurd is the
idea Of Spain granting Cubans home rule,
as We Americans understand home rule.
1.-THE policy Of Cubans is not fighting bat
| ties. They justly say yellow fever is de-
! stroying the Spanish army fast enough.
Their plan is to wear out Spain financially
and the Spanish nation is so weak f1nan-
cialIy that she finds it impossible to raise
the necessary s36,O0OOOO annually to carry
on the Cuban war and an additional SOB,
900, 900 each year to pay the interest on her
great debt.
1.-The report about the awful suffering
among Cuban women and children are 20
some extent correct. In the large cities
the suffering is not near so great as in
the iterior In somehow that I visited
the suffering is beyond description and
awful enough to make a strong mans
heart ache and the longer the war con-
tinues the greater is the suffering"
