Io» urgent«—Spain Cannot Fxpeot to
Hold Both Cuba aud the Philippines
Cadiz, Oct. 19.— If Spain has not
put down the insurrection in Cuba by
the 1 st of March, it is the intention of
the government to give up the struggle
aud let the island go. Tne significance
of this statement, coming direct from
an officer of rank iu the Spanish army,
within the week, must certainly be re
garded as of do little importance. The
above determination is an open secret
among those who are close to the gov
ernment, and it is said that the policy
is being adopted of exaggerating the
magnitude of the trouble in the P hil
ippine islands with u view of preparing
the people for the ultimate design of
letting Cuba go.
By way of further corroboration of
this estimate of the sitnation it may be
remarked that white Spain is sending
more than 200,000 troops to Cnba, who
are in the main very young and undis
ciplined, she is carefully keeping her
80.000 well-disciplined and eflfioient
soldiers who may be available in case
of an outbreak at home. She is also
keeping in Spanish waters twelve war
ships which are ready for sea, and
which oonld be of great service in
Cuban waters in aiding the United
States in that police work which she
now asks that country to do for her.
W. G. Foster, manager of the East
ern Telegraph Company here, speaking
of the situation, said:
"There iB no question that the gov
ernment is trying to use the Philippine
islands troubles to distract the people's
attention from Cnba.
There is no
donbt that Spain intends to do her
utmost to crash the Cuban insnrreotion
between now and March. Failing in
that, I am informed that she w ill give
up the struggle.
“ An important issne is the fact that
Cuba has a debt of »500,000,000, and
that if Spain puts down the insurrec
tion, Cnba w ill have to pay that debt,
whereas if Cuba win?, the payment of
that debt w ill fall on Spain, who con
tracted it on behalf of Cuba. Natur
ally the planters who have been driven
from the half-ruined plantations, how
ever loyal they may appear to be to
Spain, really want to see the Cubans
succeed, as iu that case they would not
be taxed by Spain to pay the interest
on the debt, aud oould then start again
under more favorable auspioes.
"Meanwhile every one is talking
about Cuba, and little is said of the
Phillipine islands, although the latter
comprises 115,000 square miles, against
49.000 for Cuba. In point of popula
tion the Phillipines hare 5,636,000 as
against 2,276,000 for Cnha and Porto
Rico combined. 1 am satisfied that
Spain w ill either have won in Cnba
by Maroh 1 next or have given up the
struggel. ”
Governor Abril, governor of the
provinoe of Cadiz, was next inter
viewed. In substance he said that
Cleveland had not done much fer
Spain, and be did Dot see how a ohange
in administration coaid make matters
worse, nnle.se the independence of Cuba
should be acknowledged. He says he
does not oontemplate a war between
Spain and the United States. The gov
ernor would not say that a great Cuban
victory would precipitate trouble in
Spain, and did not think that such an
event was likely to take plaoe.
As to the effect of the war npon
Cnba the governor did not seem to
think it bad been very grave. He
added that the Compana Transatlan*
tica Española was almost altogether oo-
oupied in transporting government
troops and munitions of war, so that
there naturally bad been no falling
off iD its traffic.

be got that should be used, and when
the wheat gets scarce the hens will till
