Full of Hope

MADRID, June 13.-A scmi-official
note today emphatically contradicts all
the American reports of the operations
in Cuba.
The note even denies that the Ameri-

Guantanamo bay or elsewhere. 1t says
that the European press makes bic
mistake in imagining that Spain is dis
couraged and at the end of her resources
On the contrary, Spain is full of hope
and determined to continue the war.
