My Distinguished and Dear Fricnd:-
You need not apologize for not having
written 10 me; also ought TO have writ
ten TO you, but have not done so on ac-
count OF being weighed down with work
and nous semmes quittes.
The situation here continues unchangr
ed. Everything depends on the political
and military success In Cuba. The pros
logue of this second method OF warfars
Will end the day that the Colonial Caoi-
net Will be appointed, and 10 relieves as
I'm the eyes OF This country OF a part of The
responsibility Of what may happen there,
and they must cast the responsibility
upon the Cubans, whom they believe TO be
so immaculate.
Until then we will not De able TO see
clea ~, ana / consider IL TO Doe "a loss OF
time and an advance by the wrong road,
the sending of cmssaries Co The rebel
field, the negotiating with the autono-
mists, not yet declared 20 Doe legally
constituted and the discovery OF the in.
tentions and purposes Of this government.
The eXiles Will return one by one. ans
when they return will come walking into
the sheepfold, and the chiefs will sradu-
ally return. Neither of these had tho
courage TO leave en- masse and they WIZ
not have the courage TO- thus return
The Presidents message has undecciv-
ed The Insurgents, who expected s0mc-
thing else and has pdralyZed the action
Besides the natural and Inevitable
cOarseness with which he repeats AN th4e
the press and public opinion OF Spain has

desires 20 leave a door open % me and

tirely with you that without a military
success nothing Will Doe accomplished

success there is here always danger chat

by the government, at least by part OF
the public opinion.
l do not believe you pay enough at-
tenttOn 10 the role OF England Nearly
all that newspaper canaille which
swarms IN your hotel are English. and
while they are correspondents of Amer
lean journals they are also cOrrCspon-
dents of the best newspapers and reviews
Of London. Thus it has been since the
beginning. To my mind tho only object
Of England is that the Americans should
occupy themselves with us and leave hrr
IN peace. ana III there is "a war So much
the better that would further remove
what is threatening her, although that
VIII never happen
IL would be most important that you
should agitate the question of commercial
relations, even though ir would Doe only
for effect, and that YOU should send here
a man Of Importance Don order that d
might use him 10 make a propaganda
among the Senators and others in oppose
ton 20 the Junta and tO win over eXilos.
There goes Amblarad. believe Doe
comes too deeply taken mp with little
political matters. and there must Doe sOme-
thing very great or we shall lose.
Adela returns your salutatOn and we
wish you in the new year tO Dee mes

present 20 poor SPAN.
Always your attentive friend and SER
