New York, April 27.-"It will take
more than 10000 men to subjugate the
Spanish in Cuba" said James H..
Springer, United States consul at Cal
barren, Cuba, who has arrived in this
city on the tramp steamer Ravendale.
1.-THE Spanish on the island will be
able to raise between 250.000 and 30O,-
600 men," said Mr.. Springer. I'm my
opinion the insurgents cannot muster
more than $4,000, or 10000 at the most,
and they are for the most part i'll pro-
visioned and equipped. The Spaniards
could have conquered the insurgents
were it not for the rottenness of the
army. Money intended for the soldiers
rarely gets to them, and supplies insult
ficient and bad. The soldiers are half
hearted, half-starved and unwilling
fighters. They go out, make a sortie or
an attempt at an attack and then come
back and claim they have won a vic
tory"
