MADRID, March LIT is asserted
that the central and western provinces

starting on extensive operations, with
20 battalions and large volunteer forces,
TO destroy the insurgent power IN east
ern Cuba. General Blanco viii direct

Is described as the more or less en-

The government is exceedingly hope

co.'s plan of large operations in the
east Of the island. 1t Is understood
that the report of the Spanish naval
court upon the Maine disaster viii be
delayed until the American report is
published.
Senior sagasta, the premier, says that
the journey of the torpedo squadron

been indefinitely postponed. The tone
of the press is more hopeful, but finan-

iprdance with this intention q separate

The amount paid for the Mayflower

on apace at all stations for the army

good reports come from all quarters.
The Columbia and the Minneapolis are

FOR COMMERCIAL AGREEMENT.
Representatives of Cuba and Spain Gather
In Washington --SenOr Anguio's Views.


Representatives of Cuba and Spain Gather
In washington-s Senior Angulo's yIows
WASHINGTON, March 10.-Repre-
sentatives Of the Cuban and Spanish
officials in this city met yesterday for
the purpose Of making arrangements for
some commercial agreement with the
United States. The commissioners in
ciude the Spanish minister Senor Polo;
Senor Manuel Rafael Angulo, special
delegate of the Cuban government;
Senor Leonine Varela secretary Of the
Havana Chamber of Commerce, and
Senior Codrano OF the Cuban finance di-
vision.
Senior Angulo, the head of the COM
missioners appointed by the Cuban cab
met, was interviewed not only regard
ing his mission, but regarding the pros
pect Of a conflict between the United
states and Spain. He said;
II do not believe there IS to be a con-
nlot between the United States and
Spain over Cuba, because since the
death of Senior Canovas the policy has
been such that the United States can
have no pretext or cause Of resentment
neither as a nation nor as a defender
of the rights of the people of the west
European nations, because Spain In the
use OF It's sovereignty and following the
suggestion OF the United states gov
eminent has granted to the people Of
Cuba all the liberties compatible with
the historical rights of Spain over the
island OF Cuba as recognized by all civ
iliged nations, the United States in
Guided.
Secondly, because l cannot assume
that the wise statesmen who direct the
policies Of this great nation, which rep
resents in an admirable manner the
realization of modern democracy would
put in jeopardy all its wonderful insti-
tutions by inaugurating without plausi-
BILE cause a policy Of military adven-
ture which IS incompatible with any
genuine republic inasmuch as such pol
icy even II attended by military sue
eesses, would inevitably lead to the es-
tabllahment of might-which is always
an enemy of lberty--over right, which
10 now supreme.
mo This nation which To the ad-
miration Of the world submitted 70 the
homain of right such a grave conflict as
that Of the Alabama claims win not
gainsay its own history and role in the
civilized world by making the destinies
Of this great people depend on the
eventuality of an armed conflict with
out any motive or preteXt."
Senior Angulo and his Cuban col
leagues probably will be presented to
Secretary Sherman at once, and their
formal negotiations will follow there
after.

Cuba From Spain.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Gallinger was at the capitol yesterday
for the first time since his return from
Cuba. When requested to make a state
ment e. 10 his observations on the con-
dition of affairs on that island, he re-
sponded:
"Ycu can sign my name to any pic
ture you may draw Of utter wretched-
ness, destitution and hellishness in that
country. The condition of affairs, so
far as / had opportunity 20 observe it,
and l was only in Havana and M1ton-
zas. IS simply indescribable. had not
expected to find il half as bad as it is,
and / do not believe any one who reads
the accounts and does not see for him
self can form an adequate idea of the
situation.
1.-THE reconcentrados are wedged into
all available places in the cities and
are perishihg by the thousands for want
Of the commonest necessaries Of life.
The best information obtainable leads
to the conclusion that there have been
beyond a doubt 100000 deaths as re-
suit of Spain's brutal policy, and the
tragedy goes on from day to day.
with reference to the military as
pect Of affairs in Cuba / saw nothing
which impressed me with the idea that
Spain knows much about modern war
fare. The soldiers 1 saw are not drilled
as our soldiers are. Indeed, they lack
every element Of soldierly bearing
whatever may be said of their merits as
fighters.
"The drills that have witnessed were
a travesty on modern military ideas.
While they are undergoing their evo-

other and smoking as freely and uncon-
cernedly as they would do in the mess
| rooms. From my observation of them
] should not consider them very formid-
able antagonists on the field of battle.
Naturally there was much talk about
! the Maine disaster and so far as 1
could ascertain from my conversation
/ with Americans and with those not en-
/ tirelv under the influence of the Span
| iards. the opinion was universal that
the Maine had been destroyed by an
external agency. and almost every per-
son with whom I discussed the subject
in Cuba expects that the findings of the
American court Of inquiry Will substan-
tiate this view.
"There is divergence of opinion on
the island as to the probabilities of
| war between Spain and the United
States, and / am sure that I am within
the bounds Of the truth when / say
that almost the entire native popula-
ton would welcome any turn of events
however tragic, that would wrest Cuba
| from Spanish dominion.
1.-THE fact is that even in Havana the
| allegiance to Spain is OF a very weak
and doubtful character, and if wal
should come it will be found that there
win be an uprising in that city against
the mother country which would be q
most important factor in shortening the
contest and deciding It against Spain

NEW YORK, March 19.-R. G. Dun

Neither peace nor war reports have

Orders for more than S2300O,OOO gold

treasury receipts of about Sl10O,O0o per
day have kept in check any question
about the currency, while exports Of

products of the great industries shows
steady expansion.
