HOME RULE FOR CUBA.
Spain Has q Plap to Give Cubans Entire
Control of the Island.

Spain Has PIap to Give Cuban. Entire
Control Of the Island.
WAsHn'oToN, Dec. 26.-Another i'm.
portant step towards the plan Of home
rule for Cuba has been taken by the
Spanish authorities. The former plan
proposed but not executed some months
ago provided for Cuban congress of
80 members of whom the queen regent
was to name 10 and the people Of Cuba
were to elect Is. 1t is now proposed
to do away with that part providing for
the naming of members by the queen
regent so that tie entire Cuban con-
gress will be elected by the Cuban
people. This, and the entire control
given to Cuba i'll making the tariff
laws Of the island, will constitute the
essential features of the new plan Of
home rule. The giving the people the
election of the entire congress is felt
to carry out in spirit as we'll as in letter
the idea of home rule.
Thus far only the general nature Of
Che proposed changes have been known
to officials i'll Washington and the
draft of the revised plan of reform has
not been received, nor is it likely to be
completed until after the completion of
the Porto Rico reforms. Under the
Spanish system it will be necessary to
submit the foregoing changes to the
cortes which is not now i'll session but
likely to meet before February.

RUMORS ARE PREMATURE.

Spain Has Not Vet Accepted the Media
tion of the United States.
LONDON, Dec. ga Madrid special
to The Standard says: All rumors of
the acceptance of the United States
mediation in Cuba are premature yet,
but it is undeniable that the Spanish
people are growing less refractory to
the idea of some understanding with
the United States, if only the idea of
Cuban independence is dropped and
Spain is allowed to execute her own
ideas of colonial reform. All rumors
pointing to unofficial action by the
European powers are unfounded, ex.
cept that the powers generally have
advised Spain to grant to her colonies
autonomy and to make her own terms
with the United States if she can SC
hasten the pacification of Cuba.
