Havana is guarded more closely than

Within the last two days a number OF
Cubans have been arrested and are now
confined in the Cabanas fortress, charg-

prisoners have been engaged in a plot
to assassinate United States Consul
General Lee and others assert that they
have been acting as spies for the United

that the Spanish government is more
alarmed than it has ever been before
and is taking every precautlon. There
are reasons to believe that there was a

PHILADELPHIA, April 11.-Emilio
Nunez a general in the Cuban army
and member of the Cuban junta, and
who is best known through his activity
in promoting Cuban fllibustering expe-
ditions, talked with a reporter relative
to the possibility Of the United States
not recognizing the independence of
cuba. General Nunez said that he had
been told by a man who Is well inform
81 in diplomatic matters and who is an
intimate of a representative at Wash
ington of a foreign government that
the United States will not recognize the
Independence of Cuba. This man, Cen
eral Nunez said, stated that the reason
for the nonrecognitlon OF Cuban inde-
pendence by the United States Is that
the American government wishes to
protect the holders Of the Spanish debt
bonds with view to securing the neu-
trality OF the European powers. This
debt, which amounts to S4O0. .0O0, 900, and
which was contracted in Cuba, is held
by European fnanciers, mostly in Eng
land, France and Germany General
Nunez is not ready to believe the state
ment OF his informant. notwithstand-
ing the apparent authenticity OF his
source II Information. He said that ev-
cry honest American citizen would pro-
test against such action.
1t Is not for the benefit OF the flnan-
ciers OF the world" he said that the
United States is sacrificing her glorious
peace. but II Is for the interest of hu-
manity and liberty"
General Nunez does not believe that
there VIII be war between the United
states and Spain. He nrnly believes
that Spain VIII yield to all the demands
made by the United States.
1T would be suicide for her to go 10
war" he said, with the few good ships
that she owns. Spain would not only
lose Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philip
pine islands, but would have TO face

ficult to put down. On the other hand,
If Spain should yield she will lose only
