NO WAR UNLESS INsULTED.
Presence of the Cuban Junta Comes
Mighty Near An Insult.

New York. March 24.-The Tribune
prints the following interview with
Senior Suarez, of the Spanish consulate
of this city:
I'VE do not believe that there will
be an actual war between Spain and
the United States. but if such thing
should happen. il would be because the
United States has insulted Spain. You
have in this country given a home to
those men who are traitors 10 Spain.
and have wagsd war against her Even
in this city the headquarters of the
Cuban junta are located and from these
headquarters all the plans of the COM
paign in Cuba against Spain are pre-
pared, and supplies for the rebels are
arranged for. and this is done within
two blocks of our consulate.
The United States and Spain are
friendly nations, and. therefore, TO say
the least, it is surprising that the reb-
els in Cuba should be allowed to ar
range their plans of campaign in this
country. l say again that do not be-
lieve that actual war will come be-
tween the two countries. but if it does
come. il will be from the fact that Spain
has taken all the insults she could
stand, and will take no more"
