Intense Anxiety Shown By Spanish
Officials In Havana, In Constant
Communication With Madrid
Autonomists Ready to Break
Away From the Government
How General Merritt's Movements
Are Interpreted.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The Evening
Star has the following from its staff
correspondent in Cuba:
Havana, Feb. 90, via Key West-In-
quiry into the Maine disaster progresses
along definite lines. The results so far
may be summed up in the statement
that the probabilities that it was an
accident seem to decrease with the
progress of the investigation.
The most intense anxiety is shown by
the Spanish officials here, who are in
constant communication with Madrid.
They realize that the relations with the
United States were never so much in
danger of rupture as now. This is the
general feeling.
The common classes here are hopeful
of American Intervention on peaceful
lines but what they base their hopes on
is unknown.
The insurgents continue to win minor
military successes. The autonomists are
restless, and some of the leaders seem
on the point of breaking away from
the government. Army officers continue
to show an anti-American sentiment.
They are apparently the only class that
does not look for an early crisis.

LUDICRoUs STATEMENT.
Cuban Junta Adverse to War Be

Cuban Junta Adverse to War Be
tween Uncle Sam and Spain.
st. Louis, Feb. 24.-Lupercio Martinez.
a Cuban residing in St Louis, and 4
man reDuted to be in close touch with
the junta and the leaders of the cause
for independence, stated yesterday that
the Cubans are not in favor of a war
between the United States and Spain.
We DO not want TO see the Uzited
States declare war against Spain,'' said
Mr.. Martinez. I'VE can win our own in
dependence now, and need no interview
ton. Spain realizes it, and the Sa-
gasta party is anxious for war in the
interests Of its own selfishness. and as
the only one means left by which it can
perpetuate itself in view of the impend-
ing crisis in Cuba.
Spain realizes it's inability to keep
the islard. But the Sagasta party
dare rot declare such to be the case.
because to do so would mean the down
fall of the party and its utter destruc-
ton in the whirlpool of popular fury
and most likely a revolution. To declare
the island Independent would be death
blow TO the powers that now rule
Spain
Now, if that party can force war
with the United States, it will be just
what they want, because by it they
could surrender Cuba, and at the same
time preserve their existence. This is
the only salvation of Sagasta and his
followers. If they can force it, they
live; II not, they perish as the doIni-
nant force in the nation"
