INDEPENDENT CUBA.
The Cuban Leaders Prepare Mani
festo for President Mckinley.


Special ceh,e to the Call and New York
Herald.
MAT Cuba, Oct. Ma
tanzas I.c1ncentrados are having
their Or satisfied with American
provisions from the Comal The
thanks vi the people find vent in
outbursts OF "Viva Americanos,"
wheneyer Major Wiskern or Captain
Niles appears on the street.
Yet the very men who are loudest
ia their protestations OF gratitude
are busy busy planning to send to
President Mckinley the manifesto
Of the Matauzas section of the
Cuban national party, document
which goes further in its demands
for absolute independence as OPP
posed to annexation than any other
that has yet appeared. The mani
-festo is addressed to "Hon. William
Mckinley, President OF the United
States" and says in part
NOW is the moment to define the
situation in Cuba ia regard to its
future government. The honest
policy of the American Government
is firm guarantee to the Cubaus in
their perfect right to be free and to
establish institutions which they
consider the most convenient.
"The Cuban people have ever had,
as they have now, fixed and well
defined idea-that of independence
for the acquisition of which they
have shed their blood in the Ten
Years war and in the one ended
lately.
THE undersigned aspire TO har.
mony, with the idea that Cuba
should form an Independent state,
ruled by republican institutions and
in accordance with the constitution
proclaimed as the fundamental law
principle of the junta of the Matan-
zas territory, and residents who SUBJ
scribe to this document believe that
it is our duty to make the following
declaration to the Government Of
the United States:
"That Cuba ought to be free and
form an independent nation ruled
by republican institutions, because
the efforts of its children give The
right to liberty.
THAT we recognize said govern
ment or any other that legitmately
may succeed it as our real represen,
tative, and believe it is one called
upon to accomplish restoration OF
order and especially to govern the
country as soon as possible, believ-
ing as is natural that in this manner
the United States would avoid ex-
penses aud sacrifices inherent to
military occupation of the islands of
| Cuba"

The cruisers Almi- rante Oquendo and Cristobal Colon are cruising out at sea with two torpedo-boat destroyers. l have been unable to ascertain how long the Spanish warships will re- main here, but it is believed they stopped here only to receive and send dispatches.
 Great interest is taken here in the war between the United States and Spain, and the appearance of the Spanish warshipS caused be- lief that there may be battle in this vicinity. The harbor was thronged all day with sightseers.

 LONDON, May 14.-The Star says a Madrid dispatch via Paris throws in teresting light gathered from an off cial source on Admiral Cervera's s movements since he left the Cape Verde Islands. It appears that he headed for St. Pierre Mieuelon on the coast of Newfoundland, where sealed instructions awaited him. There col Hers from Sydney were met and the Spanish fleet coaled. Admiral Ger vera's instructions then were to raid Portland, Boston and Newport, and if Rear Admiral Sampson bombarded Havana to draw him off. The news from Manila seems to have changed the plans.
 The next proposed move was to de- coy Rear Admiral Sampson to Porto Rico and then sail rapidly for Havana and destroy the few ships left there. Finally, should Admiral Cervera, after reaching Santiago de Cuba, learn that two American squadrons were coming to meet him, thus leav- ing the sea free, his plan would be to avoid them, sail straight for Charles ton and Lombard that city.

 ST. PIERRE, Martinique, May I4.-The general situation here re- mains unchanged. What was sup posed to be part of the Spanish fleet was seen again to-day off the southwest point of the island. The Spanish torpedo-boat destroyer Terror remains at Fort de France. The Spanish warship Alicante is also in the harbor. Signal lights have been seen along the hills back of the city for two nights.
 Consul Darte saw the Governor of Mar unique at Fort de France and lodged protest. He was told that everything in the world would be done to put stop to the sig nals. It was noticed that the sig nals seemed to have decreased after this.

 Last night every one in Washington was speculating as to the whereabouts of the various fleets and their prob able destination. Strangely enough. not even the Presi- dent or members of h7e War Board were able to say where Sampson's fleet was at that time or what it's destination would be, for Simpsons s orders were discretionary. Soon after the cablegram was received from Captain Cotton of the Harvard locating the Spaniards off the island Iof Martinique, and after the Cabinet had given a brief

half hours consideration to the matter, Secretary Long filed a cablegram to Sampson directing him to go in quest of the Spaniards unless he was apprised by cable via St. Thomas or by his scouting cruisers that the enemy had sailed from Martinique in a contrary direction, in which case he was to steam as rapidly as possible for Ha- vana.
 This cablegram of necessity passed through St. Pierre, Martinique, and there was delayed in telegraphic trans mission or else the dispatch cruiser Yale delayed it's trans mission across the Virgin
