SPAIN WILL NOT DECLARE WAR.
She VIII Yield 10 Every Demand. Says
A Cuban Junta OfncIaI.

New York. March SO--Counsel for
Horatio S. Rubens, of the Cuban tunta.
said today: There is no use of talk
ing of autonomy or anything else ex-
cept the absolute independence of Cuba.
The insurgents are in great hopes that
they will gain decided victory dur
ing the summer campaign. This Is
their strongest time for fighting.
''There is one important point to
which would like to call attention.
Colonel A. M. Parker, who was the
companion of Senator Proctor in Cuba,
states through one Of the newspapers
that the supplies which are going to
Cuba through the central Cuban relief
committee are finding their way as
much to the Spanish soldiery as to the
suffering Cubans. We have received
the same information. We are glad
that the starving reconcentrados are
being fed, for they are our own flesh
and blood, and of course we can say
nothing against the feeding Of Span
ish soldery. If the United States de.
slre to ite4 s'Qailm 3ois:!rrH let her so
ahead Our army, l might say, which
consists of about 10000 under arms, is
living on the country. poor as 1t Is"
Mr.. Rubens said that letters and tele-
grams had been pouring in, many from
persons who have hitherto remained
conservative, declaring against the at
tltude of the United States. He said
Spain has reached the conclusion that
the United States will not fight at any
cost.
Spain knows the United States will
not fight. and so she is ready to make
all manner of advances In that line"
said Mr.. Rubens. THE recognition of
Cuban Independence by the United
States will not be a causus belli. Spain
will never declare war. Spain de-
clared that she would not pay the
Mora claim. When the United States
insisted she did pay it. just the same.
She refused at first to apologize for
firing on the Allanca, but when told
that she must. she did. She con-
demned the Competitors men to death,
and nothing could save them, but when
the United States told her that they

SATURDAY,..... JANUARY %, 1898

Boiled down, the presidents most
important recommendation for action
by congress OH the currency question
amounted to this: He would increase the
paper money of the country by enlarg.
ing the national bank circulation. He
would do it in two ways-first be
would allow II national bank to be or.
ganized with a minimum capital of
$40, 900 instead of 800, 900 as at pres
emit; next he would reduce the taxes a
national bank pays OF it's circulatory
notes and would permit banks to issue
notes to the full amount of their United
States bonds deposited in the treasury
at Washington. As an offset to this en-
larged issuance Of bank notes, however,
he would permit no such notes to be
printed Of a smaller denomination than
80. and he would require the national
banks to redeem their W paper in
gold. This plan would take out Of cir
culation $50, 900, 900 of s. national
bank notes, to be replaced by those Of
the denominations OF $40 and upward.
