Cuban* Holding Their Own. NEW YORK. March 7.—Spanish an thorlty In Cuba Is strengthened a lit tle against attacks from within by tho presence of war ships, says the Hava na correspondent of the Tribune. They give Captain General Blanco a means i t repressing Internal disorder that has heretofore been lucking to the government. The volunteers and the populace, who have been rejoicing over the coming of the ships because of the supposed effect on the United States, have not thought of It In this light. They will see Its bearings later If they attempt a hostile demonstra tion. i But, while Blanco Is measurably re assured against attacks from his own people, no progress Is made In pre venting assaults from without, nor are the insurgents showing a willing ness to yield any of the advantages they have gained. While the recruits for the Hpanlsh army continue to ar rive from Spain, their coming seema to Inspire no dread In the insurgents, who are alike Indifferent to persuasion and to force. The efforts at per suasion by the autonomist cabinet are proceeding, yet It cannot be said they are muklns progress. Oovln and Hoi* dominate the cabinet, for it is known they represent the Sugnsta ministry's willingness to make further conces sions. The conservatives In Cuba growl at this further weakening of Spanish sovereignty. Just as they growled at the original concession or autonomy, hut they do not openly re pudiate it. The censorship is too strict to allow much expression on thdr part. What the lntranslgcntes think or what they might do Is of little con sequence so long us the insurgents are not entertaining the propositions which the autonomist cabinet Is wlll ,ng to make on behalf of the Ragasta rninlsiry. Gomez Is In Santa Clara province, nearer communication with the outside world than he has been for months. His answer, which will he a rejection of every proposition not based on absolute independence, may be received at any tlmp. After that nothing remains for Spain except the mediation of the United Slates or, if not mediation, intervention. Senator I'roetor, who has been look ing into the situation, finds a condi tion ripe for mediation, but bow It is to come unless Spain is willing he does not know. In common with others he finds grounds for believing that little* friction would lie experi enced In Cuba by making the arrange ments. The senator has studied the political complications In Havana. He understands the embarrassments of Captain General lllanco and the gov ernment. lie has also made a short trip into the tobacco districts and among the sugar plantations. He says it Is ins purpose to do what he can at any time, individually, to tiring the present destructive state of affairs to an end. Senator Proctor's observations will be thorough and he will be aide fo In form himself fully of what Cuba needs in the future. The present need of the island Is peace and food for its starving Inhabitants. In some places in the interior an improved showing is made because the Insurgents are permitting plantations to begin work that heretofore have been idle. Hut this improvement Is local. Taken gen erally, the agricultural prospects are growing worse, and the era of desola tion broadens. Moreover, the people In the Interior are receiving none of the food and medicines contributed by the American people. The distribu tion is limited to Havana and the towns and villages close to it. 1Ci*tv it r«I for Mnnlcrm. WASHINGTON.
