we considered the question one for
diplomatic negotiation, and if we and
the United States found it impossible to
come to an understanding on the con-
fiicting reports of the two countries,
then the matter ought to be submitted
to technical experts and to the arbi-

which might be selected by mutual
agreement between the Governments.
"On the second point we We're able
to inform Minister Woodford that Coy
ernor-General Blanco had issued a
proclamation authorizing the return of
the reconcentrados to their homes, and
that the Spanish Government has sent
f120,000 to the relief of the distressed
and would devote to the same object all
the proceeds of relief in kind and
money, amounting to f200, 900 (S1 900, :
000) which had been sent by Spanish
residents in Mexico. These measures
are supplemented by the assistance al
ready given by the Cuban Autonomist
Government We have never objected
to relief being sent by the United
States, on condition that it not have an
official character or bear the appear
ance of intervention.
I'VE did object. on principle to any
assistance to the Cuban insurgents We
are, however, of the opinion that it
should not behoove Spain to take the
initiative, and that a suspension of
hostilities ought to be asked for the
insurgents. We suggested that the
United States Government might, if so
inclined exercise its influence with the
insurgents to induce them to apply for
an armistce, with view to further the
ends of peace, on the understanding,
however, that the armistice would be
destined to lead to the submission of
the insurgents to the new autonomous
regime
SenOr SagaSta assured me that the
question of independence of Cuba or the
sale of that colony, or any invasion of
Spain's rights, was not mooted in the
recent negotiations.
Senor Sagasta proceeded to say that
his Government had addressed a mem
orandum to the European powers, but
no official steps had been taken to
solicit their intervention. He called my
attention to the fact that the people
and the press of Spain had shown pru-
dence, forbearance and patriotism dur
ing the crisis, even the opposition hav-
ing put no obstacles in the way of the
Government. This, he said, led him to
believe that all classes would cooper
ate in the work of realizing peace in
Cuba and facing the contingencies Of
the future.
