It is also positively declared that Spain fe disposed to come to any terms compatible with a proper sense of her honour and dignity, but this can never be until she has effected a crushing defeat of the Cuban rebels and fully confirmed her sovereign rights in the island.

The Government is now estimating the amount of moral support to be relied on to induce the Goverment of the United States to observe strictly the International laws of neutrality,
