HAS NOT BEEN NEGOTIATING FOR PEACE WITH

se1or Juan NJ Ceballos. general manager in New
York Of the Spanish Transatlantic Line Of steam
ships. when seen yesterday. denied that he had
been TO Washington. with the knowledge Of the
Sagasta Ministry In the interest OF negotiations
between the United States and Spain
81 regret very much that my name was used In
the newspapers in connection with negotiations
looking toward peace in the island Of Cuba" said
Sehor Ceballos II especially regret that part which
states that acting with the full knowledge
OF the Sagasta Ministry all Of which ! deny to
be the case. II is true that was I'm Washington,
but whatever interest may take In the affair Is
solely prompted by my desire to prevent conflict
between the United States and Spain and establish
a basis as every true American hopes to. that will
give peace at an early date with honor to all con-
cerned."
r Estrada Palma. the representative OF the
Cubans in the United States. said to a Tribune
reporter yesterday afternoon: There Is no pos
sibty OF Spain negotiating any reciprocity treaty
with the United States with any other govern
ment in regard to Cuba. No nation Will make
treaty when the territory concerned Is not in con-
troll Of the party Offering the treaty The mission
OF Senor Cebalos TO Washington was surely a
fruitless one. Spain has shown within the last
three years that she cannot conquer Cuba In arms.
Her only victories have been the people who
have been forced from their peaceful pursuits into
the cities and then conquered by the barbarous
method OF slow starvation. This Spain has ac-
complished and this alone. Spain practically adj
rnits by the Cehallos proposition that Cuba IL
capable OF self-government Yet in the same breath
she offers autonomy or a sham sovereignty.

C.bans oihe than based on absolute indc-
pendence They are firm in this position, and have

these resources not great. but they are suil-
