Spain Begins to Realise th* Situation In Cuba. New York, Nov. 7. —The Paris correspondent of the World cables the following: I am able to send you the following authentic translations of copies of official cable dispatches now on file at Madrid: To Minister Ultramar, Madrid —Referring to your cablegram of Oct. 30, expressing dissatisfaction at the newspaper interview in which I expressed the opinion that the United States would recognize Cuban belligerency,! reiterate my statement and say further that if this war is not brought to a speedy termination by granting home rule to Cuba the United States will surely give a'd to the insurgents and espouse their cause sooner or later. I urge that utonomy be granted to the island, believing this to be the only means of ending the struggle without the loss of many lives and waste of their immense wealth of the island.
