a Cuban residing In St. Louis. and a man

leaders OF the cause for independence.
stated today that the Cubans are not In
favor OF war between the United States
and Spain,
1--WE do not want to see the United
States declare war against Spain. We
can win our own independence now ana
need no Intervention, Spain realized its
inability to keep the island, but the Sa-
gasta party dare not declare such to be
the case, because to do so would mean
the downfall of the party and most likely
a revolution, To declare the island inde-
pendent would be death blow to the
powers that now rule Spain, Z
Nov, II that party can force Sar
with the United States it will be just
what they want, because by 1t they coulo
surrender cuba and at the same time
preserve their existence. This is the only
salvation OF Sagasta and his followers.
II they can force 1t they live; II not. they
perish as the dominant force in the ma
tion."
