PACIF|CATOR CAMPOS
The Spanish Generals Suggestions For
Securing Peace In Cuba.
Hone Rule the Principal
. Basis of Settlement.
Spain, However, Must Observe Pledges More
-. Strictly Than In the Past.

HAVANA, May 17-General Campos has
advised the Spanish government to allow
him to institute a scrfss Of reforms In Cuba
- q means of bringing the rebellion to an
end. It was by such means that General
Campos brought the former rebellion to
m end.
On Feb. 10, 1878, Campos issued pro-
posal of reforms, embracing eight articles,
Including amnesty to all who had borne
arms, surrender of the rebel bands in pri
vate, where they would not be subject to
humiliation, liberation Of the slaves, IA re-
form of the government, giving the same
privileges already enjoyed by Porto Rico,
and release of all prisoners.
This was accepted by the rebels, and the
uprising, which had lasted 10 years, was
closed. General Campos was given the
name of "The Pacifcator," which b., rs
since been applied to hi-l. Spain was
Sow, however, IN carrying out the prom
ised plan of reform, and it is claimed that
some of the
Promises Were Never Kept.
This has stimulated the present outbreak.
1t is said that an offer of settlement at
the present time in order TO lie acceptable
to the rebel leaders would have to include
autonomy, or home rule for Cuba, expendi-
ture of income from Cuban taxes on in
ternal improvements instead of for Span
ish war and naval expenses, amnesty to
all engaged in the present uprising, and
the full execution Of reforms promised in
1878.
A few months ago the Queen Regent of
Spain assentcd to plan by which a cer-
tain approach to home rule was granted to
Cuba, but the rebellion broke out, and
Spain thcreupon
Suspended the Reforms
she was about to grant. 1t is said these
now will be put into operation as part OF
the plan of settlement.
The conservative classes of Cuba are
said to be anxious for such a settlement,
and the radical element, it Is thought, is
too much reduced by defeats to lose the
opportunity of an honorable peace, assur
ing their personal safety.
The scheme proposed would secure
SPANS continued sovereignty over Cuba,
and yet would give the island colonial
form of government.

JACOBS CAN'T GET OUT.
The Detectives Application for Release
From Jail Denied by Judge Hazen.

The Detectives Application for Release
From Jail Denied by Judge HAGEN.
The application of Detective F. w.
Jacobs for a writ of habeas corpus to
secure his release from the county jail,
where he ia held for embezzlement, was
denied by Judge Hazen yesterday. ia
cobs is charged with using his capacity
as a detective to secure possession of
four blankets and some silver plated
knives, forks and spoons from Mrs. Nc
Cune, who lives in the Crawford fats.
Jacobs took these goods to Texas with
him, and was brought back on a reQuisi-
ton.
The writ was asked for on the ground
that the value of the goods taken
was not twenty dollars, making
the ofense, if any, misdemeanor
instead of a felony. Jacobs attorney,
Mr.. Lynch, commended that man. could
not be brought from one state to another
on requisition for mere misdemesnor.
Judge Hazen decided that Lynch was
wrong, and the requisition was legal, al
though unusual Jacobs will have to
stand trial, which may be set for next
week.
1t is the claim of Jacobs that his pros
ecution is a conspiracy on the part of
the liquor interests in Topeka to down
him. Jacobs was employed by the Tenn
perance union last summer to clean out
the joints in Topeka.
He received a commission for every
joint raided.
While Jacobs succeeded in closing
them for time, none of his prosecutions
"stuck" when the trial came, and the
only convictions had were those bluffed
into pleading guilty. One of the latter
is Mike Etzel. Jacobs had his club at
the corner of First and Van Buren, streets
closed last spring. Etzel pleaded guilty
and served his time. He went back to
his old sin and now he is in jail again.
It SO happens that Jacobs and Etzel
are confined in adjoining cells, and if re-
ports are true the spotter is guyed un-
mercifully by the man he spotted.

Navigation Commissioner Chamberlain,
who has just returned from an informal
consultation with Ambassador Bayard and
the British authorities upon the subject.
After the assent Of nearly all maritime ma
tons to the rules had been secured last
year by the United States, Great Britain, in
February. Joined by other powers, asked
delay until the rules could be referred to a
parliamentary committee. This committee
which was about to render a generally ia
Vorable report, came to an end with the
abrupt dissolution of parliament upon the
defeat of the late ministry. A new COM
Inittee must be appointed, and the desire of
the United States that the committee be
appointed at the present session of parlia-
ment has been clearly indicated to the Brit
ish government. Delay in appointing the
committee until February nigh. impede ac-
ton by Congress. should any be necessary,
and it is expected that parliament will
show the same courtesy to the United
States which Congress at the last session
showed to Great Britain.

To Protect the Gold Reserve,

reserve fell off, much to the dismay of the

telegraphed and summoned to New York in
order to restore the amount of gold to the
