Spain Replies Indefinite On Cuban Trouble Autonomy Hopes
The State Department translated Spain's cipher reply on Cuba and found it very indefinite. Spain declines setting a date to end the Cuban troubles and hints autonomy and reforms might pacify the island if American support to insurgents wanes. Secretary Sherman and the president discussed the translated cable and prepared a direct answer to Spain. The U S will reject Spain's accusations of double dealing over filibustering expeditions to Cuba.
