portant step toward a plan of home
rule for Cuba has been taken by the
Spanish authorities. A former plan.
proposed but not executed some
months ago. provided for a Cuban con-
gress of 80 members, of whom the
queen regent vas to name 10 and the
people of Cuba Is. 1t is o proposed
to do away with that part providing
for the naming by the queen regent.
So the entire Cuban congress is TO be
elected by the people. This and the
entire control given Cuba in making
the tariff laws of the island will con
stitute the essential features of the
new plan of the home rule. The
Christmas day reforms for Porto Rico

give Porto Rico a congress, and the con,
gress is given control of the entire isl,

Maurice Blades.

Maurice Blades. who was sentenced
at Sheridan. on June 7. 1895, for a pc
riod of seven years for assault on Eiar-
ry Campbell. was pardoned by Gov
ernor. Richards today. There were a
number of ~eXtenuating circumstances
in the case and the petition is not on

and a majority of the jurymen, who
regarded the sentence at the time as
unusually severe Blades, who is a
young man, had always borne the rep

that he has been punished enough. 1t

New York, Dec. PA special to the
World from Key West, Fla, says:
THE one star flag of Cuba has met
the red and yellow banner of CASTLE
upon the seas. The Sharpnel, shell and
rifle volleys Of the brave flibuster
have made answer to the roar of Span
ish 12-pounders and gained for Cuba
the first victory on the ocean.
"The flibuster steamer, Three
Friends sailed from Fernandina, Fla,
Sunday night, Dec. 10, carrying a val
liable cargo of munitions of war for
the Cuban insurgents. Early on Fri
day morning, the 18th inst, Capt. San
Antonio, at the western extremity OF
Cuba was wounded. A stiff breeze was
blowing off the land and the ship head
ed southwark. 1t was known that the
battleship Reina Meridas, the cruiser
Alfonso XIII and the coaster Dose De
Rio, were patrolling the Pinar del Rio
south coast. The sealed orders from
the New Junta were opened after the
cape had been passed. They gave nc
directions as t o the course the vessel
should take, the destination alone be,
ing mentioned. The orders read:
Sail to the mouth of the San Juan
river and there await a party Of in
surgents, who will take charge of the
cargo. Do not attempt to land men or
munitions at any point
The orders caused a sensation. A
consultation was held Immediately in
the cabin. Nearly every officer aboard
had warned the Junta he would not
attempt to land an expedition near the
San Juan river. The steamer Bermuda
tried and had been fired upon and driv.
Ell away by the Spanish coaster, while
the cargo OF the Dauntless, after hav-
ing been put ashore, was captured.
I'VE will land at San Juan If we
have to sail through hell to do it," said
Captain Lewis after consultation.
When so miles south of the APE the
course was changed to north by north
east against a dead wind. Saturday,
midnight. was clear and beautiful. The
vessel was placed under a small head
of steam and went easily in calm sea.
While the Three Friends was in the
act of lowering her boats for the pur,
pose of landing she was suddenly at
tackled by a 40-foot Spanish coaster
which steamed up from the shadow OF
the shore. One she'll from the filibus,
ter's 12-pound gun and a volley of rifle
shots scared the Spaniard which
steamed away. signaling for aid.
Her calls were answered by a big
gun which exchanged shots with the
Three Friends. The latter sem a shell
into the boat silencing her and then es'
capped. After the men and stores were
landed a desperate fight occurred with
the Spanish coast patrol and the Three
Friends was chased by several gun
boats and cruisers on the run back tc
Florida.

was lying on his back he managed to
keep his head from being injured and
drew his knife with which to GU, the
rope. 1t either fell or was knocked
from his hand by one OF the frightened
horses and it looked like Forester was
doomed to a terrible death. But he did
not despair and retained his presence
of mind, and although being dragged
and bumped over the hard frozen
ground drew his six-shooter and fired
at one of the horses, but did not bring
him down. Twice more the merry cow

down the horse, dead, and relieved
Forester from his perilous position aft.

He killed a good saddle horse but saved
his own life. After the accident Fer

attention, the small bone in the leg
above the ankle being broken. which
was set by DR.. Rinehart. The cowboy
was also bruised considerably, but
none of his injuries were serious and
