LONDON, Jau. 3.-rhe Standard has spc,
cial from Madrid, saying: The decree convok
ing the Cortes says the plan Of the ministry
based upon conservative policy rejecting lm-
practicable theories and religious Intolerance
will be laid before Cortes. Vigorous efforts to
restore order In Cuba are promised. The &c
clarations of the Government have created a
very favorable impression. The decree de-
clares that all may participate 10 the elections

LONDON, Jan. 3.-The NJ .nchester Guar
dians' London correspondent writes follows
on the subject of Spain and Cuba aud the UNI
ted States: have been furnished with what
purports to be the substance Of America S Cu-
ban note. [ believe it is correct, though do
not pretend to give the exact language. 1t
rcct4s that the general interests Of humanity
and commerce demand the cessation OF the
struggle which has been waged in Cuba for
seven wears. The United States are great
sufferers, but are unwilling to act without the
Concurrence of other powers including Spalo.
The continuation of the attempt to govern
Cuba from Madrid will be fatal 10 hopes OF res
toration of peace. Nevertheless Cuba belongs
70 Spain ADD great share of the population is
opposed to separation In these circumstances
the solution of the question NIGH Be found 10
establishing confederation IN the West lndles
resembling the Canadian. Cuba aud Porto Rico
might be constituted confederation with Local
independent rights and Governor General
appointed hv Spain. The provinces are asked
to join the Uuitcd States in prop sing such a
confederation and aiding Cuba to establish 1t.
The abolition Of slavery would, however, BE- Il
necessary condition and such pressure must be
brought as would make the insurgents cease
warfare.
This would be difficult, but it could be nc
complisbed. Secretary Fish is emphatic IN
denying that the United States desire the &C
QUESTION OF Cuba. They only wish peace re
stored, slavery abolished, and commerce al
lowed to resume its course. The Powers are
asked to express their opinion upon the pro-
posed means Of accomplishing these ends.

COOKING RHUBARB.

The following hints on cooking rhu-
barb were published year ago, but are
so seasonable that we republish;
Rhubarb is best cut in lengths, boiled
in water and sugar, and served with boiled
rice round the dish; or it may be
treated like "gooseberry FOOL A little
good cream gives it a delicate taste, which
it never has in Il pudding or tart. The
following are excellent recipes for making
rhubarb jam or marmalade: Cut the rhu-
barb as if for tarts, and to every quart
give one pound of good moist sugar; put
the sugar over the rhubarb, and leave it
twenry-four hours to draw out the juice
By this method the pieces of rhubarb re-
main separate from each ether when the
preserve is DONE 1t keeps good year if
kept in jars well dried and in a dry place
For the marmalade, procure six oranges,
peel them, and take away the white rind
and pips, then slice the pulp into stew
pan along with the peel, cut very small
add thereto one quart Of rhubarb, cut
finely, and from one pound to one pound
and a half of sugar. Boil the whole down
in the usual way, as for other preserves.
Made in this manner, it is nearly equal to
Scotch marmalade, which is regarded on
