Cuba to be Free.

Washington, d. O., April co.
The Spanish Government Within
the next four weeks will put IN
execution a comprehensive 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 effect.
In any event it is beyond question
that this Important move is as.
sured. 1t promises to bring to a
sudden termination the irritation
and friction which has existed for
many months between the United
States aud Spain aud to replace
this feeling with one of a friendly
and amicable nature.
The Law which will be pat into
effect was signed by the Queen
Regent OF Spain March Is, 1898,
and will be followed PIP by rules
and regulations developing the
present scheme of reforms BY the
time the q leen Regent OF Spain
makes her addresses to the Spanish
Cortes, whlch Assem- bles III one
mouth, the law will be promulgat.
ed throughout Cuba aud the long
expected policy of home rule for
Cuba will be realized.
WHAT IT PROVIDES.
The law is very elaborate in
provisions. The element of hore
rule is secured by the establish
ment OF two local bodies, drawn
largely, from residents of Cuba.
One of those IS to be known as
the Provincial Chamber of Depu.
ties and the other as the Council
OF Administration. The latter has
appellate Jurisdiction over the
International management of pub
lie affairs, but the Governor
General will continue as the su-
pIeme representative Of Sp on
the island and will nave direct
charge of military, naval and in-
ternatioual Questions.
The drtalls of the reform project
we're published at the time OF their
adoption Ivy the Spanish COrtei in
1898.

The present indications are that

not think 1t possible for the Demo

Whether the Republicans will
adopt a sound money platform or

Mr.. Hocutts provoked.
A correspondent from Washington
to the Wilmington Messenger says that
the first account of the trouble between
Mr.. E. J. Hocutt and one Roberts was
incorrect, and The COMMONWEALTH
gladly prints the Messenger correspond
ent's correct statement
Last Monday morning when Mr.. Ho-
cult was on his way to his office he was
met by Roberts, who began abusing
him without any provocat1on at all.
Hocutt did not notice this. Roberts
followed him into his office, then said
something about wanting to send off
some money, still cursing. Hocutt
told him he could not walt on him
then and told him to go out, as he did
not wish to have any trouble. Roberts
told him to put him out if he could,
using most insulting oaths, calling Ho-
cult an uncomfortable name, at the
same time placing his hand on his hip
pocket as though he was going to draw
a pistol. Hocutt seeing this snatched
his pistol from drawer in bis desk and
fired, the bullet striking the door fac
ing, glanced and struck Roberts in the
right breast. The wound was not Sc
rlous and Roberts is now walking about
the streets. Mr.. Hocutt was not plac-
ed in Jail, but gave $500 bond for his
appearance at court. Mr.. Hocutt has
never been In trouble of this kind be-
fore and bears a very good name in this
community.
