ST. PAUL, MINI, March A.-Thei
Globes Washington special says:
The President and his cabinet know.
unoGlclally. the result OF the Maine In
qulry. They are prepared TO act. 4.
They have canvassed the course OF
events. so far us they can foresee
them, and have formulated policy
to meet the emergency. Along its lines
the administration expects to move
unless It Is swept on Its feet by a wave
OF popular dissatisfaction.
The Globes special correspondent Is
able to present the forecast OF events as
viewed by the President and his cabi-
net. It can be outlined thus: .
1.-The board Of inquiry will report
this week that the explosion was exter-
nal. i.s5i
2-The President will immediately.
through Minister woodsord, demand
from Spain an Naturalization OF slo.-s
100000. a5 T. Is
3-spain is expected to reply, express
ing her willingness to pay II she is re-
sponslble, but maintaining that her own
investigation shows that the explosion
was Internal and accidental. She will.
therefore. suggest reference to an in-5
ternational board OF arbitration.
4-In such an event the administra-
tion would be disposed to comply with
the suggestion-unless there Is an
emeute in Havana. or an Irresistible
demand for war sweeps through Con-
gress.
5-If Congress acquiesces in the sug-
gestion. the attempt will be made to
adjourn that body and leave the whole
matter in the Presidents hands.
Git is expected that 4 large major
ity OF congressman will claim that such
matter of honor cannot be arbitrated.
It is further expected that the leaders
OF both houses, Including Senator Dav-s
Is, OF Minnesota. will favor arbitration"

NEW YORK, March l4.-Thomas Es-
trada Palma, Of the Cuban revolution
ary party in this city, said to-day:
"rhe proposition for Cuban paclfca-
tion, reported to have been offered by
Senior Cebellos, was not satisfactory to
the juntn.
"Wc will not consider any PROPOSE
tion for settlement OF tho war;" said
he, unless It be based upon the abso-
Lutte independence of Cuba. We are
willing to pay Spain an Indemnity OF
not more than one hundred million
dollars. II this Is not satisfactory to
Spain we will continue the war. Our
resources are sufficient to do this. I
will not receive Senior Cebellos unless
he wants to treat on the basis of abso-
Lutte independence"
When Senior Palma was told that
Spanish As were selling In the London
market at 52S he replied: II have re-
Gently sold some Cuban bonds at 60 per
cent" tt |

John Guitcras, the representative of the
Cuban Junta in this city, in on open let!
ter to-day discussed the published state
ments that there is a project on foot to
settle the Cuban question on basis OF
autonomy. "The plan," says DR.. Gull
teras, suggests for Cuba all the privl-
leges now enjoyed by Canada. I can
not believe that such q plan is enter
tained by the United States government.
and feel that an appeal should be
made to public opinion to pronounce
Itself against the consummation Of such
q sacrifice"
He holds that there are two reasons
why the plen OF forcing autonomy
should not be considered, because It
would not be right and because It would
not be possible. -t{

sent him by the editor OF the Spanish
illustrated paper, El Cardo. The docu-
ment Is printed and Is signed by the edl-

the valor to fight like O man, and who
would take a slap In the face without re-
sentlng It."
