asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If Her Majesty's Government have received any information as to the alleged arrangement of terms of peace between the insurgents and the Captain General of Cuba?

MR. BOURKE

Sir, Her Majesty's Government have received information from Her Majesty's Chargé d' Affaires at Madrid that official news from Cuba has been received to the effect that bases of peace have been arranged between the Commander-in-Chief and the leader of the insurgents, and that there is every probability of the insurrection being brought to a conclusion before the end of the present month.
