REFORMS IN CUBA|There is no Remedy Senor Quesada’s Views on Spain's Alleged Intentions. ANNOUNCED FOR POLITICAL EFFECT The Same Promises Have Been Made and Broken Before. 4 CONFESSION OF WEAKNESS ee Senor Gonzalo de Quesada, the repre- sentative of the Cuban republic, chatted at the Raleigh this morning with a Star re- porter on the subject of the reforms which it is announced will be established in Cuba by the Spanish government. Senor Quesada smiled significantly when his opinion was asked on the subject of these reforms. “This talk of reform in Cuba on the part of Spain,” said he, “is being made for various reasons, and particularly for its effect in Spain itself and in Cuba, and in the United States. Spain expects that it will have the effect at home of drawing the at tention of the people from the election frauds to this more important question, and Because it is expected to prevent the liberal party and the republicans, the latter of whom are willing to see the establishment of ample home rule, from causing the mon- archy to be placed in a very uncomfort- able situation by reason of the part they will take in the coming debates in parlia- ment. It shows also that the Spanish gov- ernment has at last heard the clamor of the people for the war to end speedily, and in such a way that the Cubans will have no occasion to complain. Spain Needs Money. “Another reason may be found in the fact that Spain, by May 1, will be confronted with a practically exhausted treasury, and she thinks she will better be able to get money if she can convince the people at home and the bankers abroad that the re- forms she.contemplates have the counten- ance of the United States government. It is a political move in every particular. “The planting of these reforms, even if they are thought of, will not be made im- mediately,” continued Scnor Quesada, * cause Gen. Weyler has said that no reforms, however small, will be tablished in Cuba until the revolution is crushe readily So you can perceive the dilemma. If the re- established Spain will admit that sgoverned Cuba, and that the re- bellion is too powerful to be crushed, and Gen. Weyler will lose prestige in the island and have to leave his command ther Intended to Have Effect Here. “The intention of Spain to have effect upon the United States by the promulga- Uon of the announcement of the granting of reforms fs plainly evilent,” he continued. “First, she desires to forge ahead and pre- vent the appearance of taking any sug- gestion from this government or of submit- ting to intervention, which the Spanish organs unanimously declare will never be tolerated. In this way Spain can tell the United States that she is willing to grant Cuba liberties within reason and point to the so-called reform. In this way, also, Spain thinks the United States would have no grounds for mediation. Another éffect that Spsin had in v vy in this matter is to give an idea to Congress and to the Ameri- can sympathizers of the Cubans that the latter, or a part of them now in lutionary ranks, will lay down t arm: and thus shake he confidence of the Ameri- can people in the steadfast determination of the revolutionists to persist in this struggle for freedom. Aiming at the Republic. “This subtie diplomatic move of Spai however, is principally intended, I imagine, to disorgarize the Cuban republic, the de- sire being to keep the lukewarm from giv- ing support to the revoluuonists, and also to appease the Spanish residents of the island, who have become restless under the continued destruction of their interests and have been demanding heroic measures on the part of Spain to obtain more pro- aware that a few montas at helplesshess in the is- land in this regard will drive these individ- uals elther to demand assistance from the United States or to jcin the insurgents outright.” “Is there any possibility of the Cubans accepting the reforms prcposed by Spain?” inquired the reperter. Cubans Are Like Burnt Children. Senor Quesada Icughed heartily. “I do not think,” he s with significant em- phasis, “that any Cuban weuld be willing to accept such reforms now, when, after fourteen months’ fighting, there is an army or 60,000 men supporting a republican form of goverrment which controls three-quar- ters of the Island of Cuba; when fresh arms and ammunition are being landed on the Island every wack, and the moral support of the American pe: formally ssed by an overwhelmi najority of their Congress, has been freely extended to us. The Cubans had these same reforms now pretended to be offered by Spain ex- tended to them before the fighting began, end it was the continued prostitution of such promises as they contained that un- furled the Cuban banner. Spain may say that she is going to ‘extend more and broader reforms, but her long record of broken promises will prevent any such representation being even considered. The Cubans have lost all faith in Spain, and there is no man among them who would even dare to propose the ac- ceptance of terms looking to the ending of the war on any other ground than that of absolute independence. All this talk of re- forms on n's part is to gain time. The rainy season is beginning in Cuba, and Spain kncews she must temporize. The an- nouncement of her intention to extend re- forms to Cuba, therefore, may be taken simply as a confession of her weakness.” BOUND BY COMMMON TONGUE. President Cleveland on England, America and Shakespeare. The Birmingham, England, Dramatic and Literary Club celebrated the birthday of Shakespeare Tuesday evening. The follow- ing letter, written by President Cleveland to Consul Parker, was read: “Everything that,tends to keep alive the memory of Shakespeare and preserve a proper appreciation of his werks challenges my earnest interest and approval, and though I cannot be with you upon the oc- casion you contemplate, I am glad to know that our American people are prominently represented at tke celebration. here is much said and written {n these days concerning the relations which should exist, bound close by the strongest ties, be- tween the English-speaking peoples and concerning the high destiny which awaits them in concerted effort. I hope we may never know the time when these ennobling sentiments will be less often expressed or will in the least lose their potency and in- fluence. Surely, if the English speech sup- plies a token for united effort for the good of mankind and the impulse of an exalted mission, we do well to “honor fittingly the name and memory of William Shakes- peare. Yours, very truly, ROVER CLEVELAND.” The reading of President Cleveland's let- ter was received with great enthusiasm. Commenting upon the letter cf Presi: Cleveland, the London Graphic says: ident Cleveland has taken every opportu- nity to efface the recollection of his fa- mous message on the Venezuelan dispute. Public opinion in England will not be slow to appreciate and reciprocate the senti- ment of this Jetter.” The Chronicle's editorial says: “President Cleveland" 's letter virtuaity says, ‘It is peace.’ That is an open hand to the old country. Will Lord Salisbury give Mr. Bayard a return grasp tomorrow?” Ambassador Bayard, who was the guest of the club, presided at the dinner given, responding to the principal toast, “‘Litera- tur Mr. George F. Parker, the United States consul, and president of the club, spoke to the toast, “The immortal memory of Wil- liam Shakespeare.” Which man can compound that will at all compare with that greatest of all curative agencies—one. fashioned by nature—the wonderful Sprudel Spring of Carlsbad. A record of the cures to its credit, during several centuries, performed on humanity, from emperor to beggar, would make an extensive library.
