Spanish statesman, evidently the Mar
quis de Hoyos. the Spanish Ambassador,
who is represented as saying: 4
"spaln would rather have war with

tlon for the Maine, for by the latter
course she would forfeit her honor
through nn admission Of guilt, which
would erase her name from tho list of

at could not be England's interest to
see the spaniards expelled from Cuba,

pendence. II during war the United

NEW YORK, March 1S.-Tha: the
Cubans are willing to end the strife in
their island Is without question, but
while they are willing 20 pay Spain an
indemnity, the leaders here are positive
In their assertions that they are not
weakening in the slightest degree and
are willing 10 continue the fight. The
question OF the amount OF indemnity
which might be paid In case such an
agreement were feasible was talked OF
earnestly bv the officials OF the Cuban
juntn here to-day. Just what amount
might have been paid three years ago
and that which might seem reasonable
now from the Cuban point of view may
be gathered from the following reply to
such question, which T. Estrada Pal
ma made this morning.
at the beginning the war debt was
S250, ,0o0. 900. but Cuba could not stand
It. and this was one of the reasons that
the revolt was precipitated. f.
I'm the beginning of 1896, after the III
vasion OF the western provinces by the
Cubans the latter might have been
willing to pay 100000.
AT the beginning OF the dry season
of 1861. they would have paid $780,
100000, but now they would not give
more, IL as much, than sl000OO,0OO.
2S"If2the wet season should set In this
year before such an agreement could
DE arranged. We would not think OF
paying anything. sS
1.-THE reasons for, the decrease in the
amounts are the increased chances OF
our success" continued Mr.. Palma, mot
to speak OF the destruction and desoIn-
tion OF the island that impair Its pro-
uuctlye capacity" ~ s.s5

1t is the evident intention Of General

city will be present and altogether It Is
to be an important AFFAIR.
An official within the palace is author,

that prompt disavowal, of the affair by
Austria is the only thing that can rob
it Of internal weight. .gt.

for military purposes. There are about
10000 members in what is known as the

who are not effective for military duty
from various causes.
The strength OF the Spanish army at
