They Believe They Have a Better Chance of an Acknowledgment of Their Belligerent Rights by Such Action. Policy of Cuban Leaders. Gonzales de Quesada, secretary of the Cuban revolutionary party, with headquarters in New York, has been in Wash- | ington recently on private business. He did not see Secretary Olney, nor were any steps taken toward securing the recognition of the Cuban insurgents as belligerents. The policy of the Cubans in seeking recognition of the United Ntates has been outlined substantially as follows: No application will be made to the executive branch of the government until Congress assembles. It is the feeling that ~ even if the executive authorities were dis- - posed to recognize the Cubans, the action muw such grave responsibility lfi‘lfiéqfimfiw branch would desive _to have the co-operation and support of Coungross, Care will be taken also to see that there is uniformity in the steps proposad to Congress. In this way the mistakes made at the time of the last Cuban uprising will be avoided. At that time there were no less than forty different Cuban resolutions referred to the House Committee on Iloreign Affairs, proposing recognition, arbiteation and many other plans, all intended to favor C'uba. In the end this diversity of proposals prevented an agreement on any one course, Crank in the White House, Another crank turned up at the White House Tuesday in the person of Owen Jones, hailing from New York State. e had previously addressed a threatening | letter to the White House, so the officers x were on the watch for him.
