I Madrid, Nov. 14. —The vv.tr of fic -is p eparing to send 20,000 more tro ps to Cuba . The steamer Cadfix sailed from Cadaz yts erday with a cargo o( munitif ns of war. Baltimore, Nov. 14.—Gen Brad ley T Jch ison, who recently re lumed from >'uha, says th it he believes the insurgents will evunt ual y win, possibly within eight months, notwithstanding tae enor- I m >us forces arrayed against them “But thers is another feature,” he continued, “about the contest worthy of note. If the incumbent administration does not take some action looking to a rtscognition of the independence of Cuba, in is my opinion that President-elect Mc- Kinley will t ke that s'ep immedi ately upon his inauguration as President. WOULD RESULT IN WAR “What would be the effect of such h step?” A declaration of war agiinst the United States. It is true that such a war would be shoit-lived, result ing disastrously te Spain, but it would afford Spain an opportunity, while loosing Cuba, to uphold her uatioualjhouor. She would be in position to say that she was not overcome bv the insurgents, but by a superior power, the United States. “It i- one of the fundamental principles of the national honor of Spain that there shall be no surrender to any rebellion in her colonies, and, while she has lost those in America, the loss has been by purchase or by methods by which her national honor has not been jeopardized. CUBA TO THE UNITED STATES. “Os course, iii case of war with Spain, the United States would demand an indemnity. That In demnity would be Cuba. And so you see Spain would nit surren der Cuba to the ins irg ints, but to the United States. “I can «av this, that, as our po litical cam .laign has bee.i settled, there will be a rev val in -the inter est of Americans in Cuban affairs.’’ D. vt.
