CUBAN HOME RULE.
Spain Will Give the Is1a nders 4 Lit.
tie Son - $1,000

tie Sop.
Washingt April %. The Spanish
government, within the next four
weeks, will put into execution a COM
prehensiVe system of home rule or
autonomy for the island Of Cuba.
There is good reason to believe that
the state department has received
from Madrid Information to this eff
feet. In any event it is beyond ques-
ton that this important move is as
sured. This promises to bring to q
sudden termination the Irritation. and
I friction Which has existed for many
months between the United States
and Spain and to replace this feeling
With one OF friendly and amicable
nature.
The law, which viii be put into eff
fect, was signed by the queen regent
Of Spain March Is, 1895, and viii be
followed up by rules and regulations
developing the present scheme Of re-
forms. By the time the queen regent
of Spain makes her address to the
Spanish cortes, which assemblies in
one month, the law will be promulga-
ted throughout Cuba, and the long
expected policy of home rule for Cuba
will be realized.
The law is very elaborate in its pro-
visions. The element Of home rule is
secured by the esta blishment Of two
local bodies, drawn largely. if not en-
tlrely from residents of Cuba. One
OF these is to be known as the proyin-
clal chamber of deputies, and the 9th
ef as the council of administration in
the internal management of public at
Ialrs, out the governor general will
continue as the supreme representa-
tive OF Spain on the island and will
nave direct charge Of military. naval
and international questions. The de-
talls OF the reform projects We're pub
llshed at the time Of their adoption by
the Spanish cortes in 1895.

New York, April pa dispatch to
the World from Havana says: If
Gen. Maceo succeeds in crossing the
eighteen-mile barrier in spite of the
$4,000 Spanish regulars pressing him
on all sides, Gen. Weyler must confess
as Gen. Campos did, that the cam
paign is failure and that Spain can
not end this war by her own unaided
forces. The rebel general has sent
word to his rebel friends in Havana
that he will break through the trocha
when he is ready and that With the
first shower of rainfall the captain
generals plans will crumble. It is
certain that Gen. Maceo has some sure
means Of suddenly assembling his row
ing bands on this side of the trocha;
some say by means Of colored paper
balloons, and others by messages.
There is a growing belief here that if
Gen. Weyler is out-maneuvered now
Spain will presently welcome the
friendly mediation of the United
States. Even among the Spaniards
here there is this feeling. "
Prisoners of war are condemned to
death as incendiaries without proof of
actual guilt. Evidence that a rebel
soldier belonged to a column of the
enemy which burned property is suf-
ficient to insure his death. A prison
er's conviction depends on whether lie
joined an offending band before OF
after the incendiarism occurred. It
is said that nearly a hundred prisoners
will be shot as incendiaries within a
few days.

Cincinnati. April %. - Since last
Thursday there has been here Sc
cret national meeting of the supreme
officers and national executive board
of the A. p. A. Members have not
registered at hotels, in fact many of
them have stopped at boarding houses.
Among those present are Supreme
President W. II. Traynor, Toledo; Su-
preme Secretary G. G. Beatty, Chica-
go; Supreme Treasurer NJ. T.. Ryan,
Chicago; National Executive Commit
teeman t. L. Thompson, Omaha, and
many others. Officers from Ohio and
other states will arrive tomorrow.
The purpose is confessedly political

Judge J. H. D. Stevens of st. Louis,
chairman of the national advisory
committee and chairman of the pro-

sued a circular to-day to correct some
"misstatements in the press, = the suo-
stance of which is:
First-The hostility Of the order to
Mckinley is not against the man but
against him for his antipathy to the
order, shown in his appointments
while governor
Second The order does not oppose
Mckinley in the personal interest Of
any other candidate. 1t fights no man
because of his religion.
Third-The order made every effort
consistent with manhood to reach Nc
Kinley without success.
Fourth-Congressm Grosyenor.s
denial that he refused to see the A. p.
A. committee and that he virtually in
suited it is untrue Fl
Fifth-All statements of Congress
man Unions withdrawal from the
candidacy at st. Louis are unauthor-
lied and were sent out by enemies OF
the A. p. A. to defeat it's aim.
SiXth-Mr. Linton is neither direct
ing any movement for his nomination
at st. Louis nor making personal eff
fort in that direction On the con-
trary the A. p. A.. recognizing him as
their leader, and knowing him to be
too good an American to refuse to do
what the patriotic citizens Of this
country request of him, have taken
him as their candidate before the ST.
Louis convention. All statements on
this matter not signed by members Of
the committee are untrustworthy.

It is a curious and significant fact
that in the last four weeks more corn
than wheat has been exported from
the United States. This apparent
change in the relative demand for
these two great cereals is encouraging
for the farmers, as they have much
less competition from other countries
in corn than in wheat. If we could
find a good foreign market for all Of
our surplus corn it would be an ines.
