Senor du Bose, the Spanish charge
d'affaires, was busy at the legation Of
flee today with extended communica-
tlons just received from Madrid. These
did not relate to the recent incident
The legation is now turning it's atten-
tion to other subjects, mainly to the
rev commercial treaty between Spain
and the United States. Mr.. du Bose
has not been officially advised from
Madrid of the appointment of Senor
Luis Polo Bernabe as minister at
Washington.
He is well known among the off,
cials here, coming from a family of
diplomats and having had an extend
ed diplomatic service himself 1t is
thought that the fact that he was chief
of the commercial section of the for
eign office accounts for his choice, as
this position has given him hand in
the commercial negotiations now ap-
preaching the final stage.
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-T. Estrada
Palma, head of the Cuban junta, has
received a letter from Gen. Maxine
Gomez, commander-in-ch Of the Gu
ban army, dated at Mayajagua, Feb. 3.
1t says in part:
Our forces have been very active
since the PRONUNCIATION of autonomy by
the Spanish government. We see in it
Spain's weakness and feel now more
sanguine of our success than ever be-
fore. Autonomy has had the advan-
tage to rid us from some of the unde-
sirable elements in our ranks. We
trust it may serve to still purge our
army of men of the ilk of Masse- PARA,
Cuervo and other NIajases Col Ar
mando Sanchez Agramonte, with 600
men, attacked Spanish convey three
days ago and captured thirty pack
mental strong box with $4,000. The
Yates were killed in the first charge"
LONDON, Feb. ia special from
Madrid says the populace of that city Is
greatly enraged, owing to the belief
that the Spanish cabinet has apologiZed
to the United States The populace,
| the dispatch adds is bitterly opposed
| to such a course, and exceedingly hos
tile to the government, and may make
demonstration.
In conclusion the dispatch SAYS:
| '"The people prefer war to an apology.
thinking that Spain will suffer the
| least thereby, as war would be ex-
| ceedingly disastrous to the large COM
merce of the United States"
