If Spain once again pacifies the rebellion, it will certainly not give up the Cuban Colony so easily. The United Kingdom can only seize this opportunity; if Spain is really unwilling to give up the Cuban Colony, they can only cause greater problems for the Cuban Colony in secret, forcing the Spanish Government to abandon it.
The one approaching the British ambassador is Prime Minister Canovas. Upon hearing the probe from the British side, Prime Minister Canovas did not rush; instead, he expressed an unwillingness to give up the Cuban Colony.
However, Prime Minister Canovas' stance was not that firm, revealing a hint of an opening to the British ambassador.
The British Government did not doubt much because it had communicated with the British Government earlier. The British ambassador thought that Spain might already have the idea of abandoning the Cuban Colony but was unwilling to admit it due to fear of public opposition.
