Spain, however, to keep her grip on affairs in such a way that her influence will predomi- nate in the “home rule’ she offers The leaders of the insurgents say they will accept nothing short of indepen- dence and feel confident they will achieve that. Spain's offer comes too late and the patriot Cubans with just reason question the sincerity of the Spanish government, which feels that the Cubans can not be subdued.
