HOME RULE FOR CUBA.
SPAIN TO PUT 1T IN OPERATION IN
FOUR WEEKS.
VIII Terminate Irritation Between Spain
andThis Country-The Laws Adopted in
1S95-Prospects OF the Revolution Com
ing to an End.

WASHINGTON, q pril, 2O.-The Span
ish government will put into execu-
ton 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 ef-
feet. In any event, it is beyond ques-
ton that this important move is as.
sured. It promises to bring to a sud-
den termination the irritation and
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 will be put into ef-
feet was signed by the Queen Regent
of Spain, March Is, 1895, and will be
followed by rules and regula-
tions developing the present scheme
of reforms. By the time the Queen
Regent of Spain makes her address to
the Spanish Cortes, which assem- nbles
in one month, the law will be promul-
gated through Cuba and the long ex-
pected 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 establishment Of two
local bodies, drawn largely, if not en-
tirely, from residents Of Cuba. One of
these is to be known as the provincial
chamber of deputies and the other as
the council of administration. The
latter has appellate jurisdiction over
the former. Large powersar granted
to the council administration in the
internal management of public affairs,
but the Governor General will con-
tinue as the supreme representative of
Spain on the island and will have
direct charge of military, naval and
International questions. The details
of the reform project were published
at the time of their adoption by the
Spanish Cortes in 1895.

A RALLY FoR SOUND MONEY.
The New York Chamber of Com
merce Issues an Appeal.

New York, March 5.-The special COM
mittee Of the chamber OF commerce on
sound financial legislation to-day intro
duced in the chamber a resolution I'm the
form OF an appeal to the commercial
bodies and business men throughout the
country, calling upon them to stand by
sound money in selecting delegates to both
national conventions. The resolution,
which was unanimously adopted by the
chamber OF commerce, Is as follows:
To the commercial bodies and business
men of the United States: The chamber
of commerce of the state of New York
believes that the time has now come for
cial bodies and all men, whether engaged
in farming, manufacturing or trade, who
are interested In commercial prosperity
In the United States to remove from polit-
ical agitation the question of the perma-
nence Of the standard of value upon which
all the business Of this country is trans
in an effort TO create a strong public opin-
ion in behalf Of an unequivocal declara-
tlon by the political conventions of both
the great parties I'm favor of the mainte-
nance of our existing standard and of the
elimination of all doubtful expressions
in respect to the reopening of the mints
of the United States to the free coinage
of silver.
The time is passed. II II ever existed,
for any halting, doubtful phrasing to ex-
press the meaning Of political parties up
no platforms that can be interpreted TO
mean one thing in one part of the land
and another thing in another partt of
the land.
1t is important to every business man,
producer and wage-earner to put a stop
to the enormous cost to the government
and to all OF our people resulting from
the continuance OF the agitation in favor
Of the free coinage of silver which stands
in the way of a revival Of confidence and
national business prosperity.
Therefore, we ask all citizens to unite
in a vigorous effort to urge the selection
of delegate TO the political conventions OF
both great parties who will advocate clear
and distinct platform utterances in favor
OF the maintenance OF the present gold
standard Of value. The time Is short, ana
action ought, therefore, to be all the
more prompt and determined.

A wARLHxE CLAUSE.
The COnferees Decide on the House
Cuban Resolutions.

Cuban Resolutions.
Washington, March 5.-The conferees of
the Senate and House on the Cuban reso-
lutions met in the room of the Senate
committee on foreign relations this after
noon at 2:2O o'clock
The conferees were not in session over
twenty minutes and there was no dissent
ing voice in accepting the House resolu-
tions. During the discussion it was stated
by prominent member of the Senate
committee, that the second clause Of the
Senate resolutions, which asks Spain to
recognize the independence of the island,
was wanton affront TO the Spanish gov
ernment and her people, and that by
adopting it the Senate had gone out of
its way to insult Spain The Senate res
outions only provide for belligerency and
this request for recognition of Cuba by
Spain as an Independent government.
The House resolutions. it was pointed
out, went further, and in addition to
granting belligerent rights, declared the
only solution of the trouble to be found
is an independent government of the
choice of the people of Cuba, and con-
cludes with the significant words that the
United States government should be pre-
pared to protect the legitimate interests
Of American citizens by Intervention, if
necessary. This is looked upon as of more
Importance than anything to be found in
the Senate resolutions, and it took no ar
gument to persuade the managers on the
part of the Senate to accept the House
resolutions

kegee Conference.
Montgomery, Ala. March 5.-The fifth
annual convention of the Tuskegee negro
conference is now in session at Tuskegee.
There are over 600 people present and fif-
teen states are represented. eight southern
and seven northern. The meeting is pre-
sided over by Booker T. Washington. The
following declaration was unanimously
adopted: I'VE are more and more con-
WINGED as we gather in these annual con-
ferences that we shall secure our rightful
place as citizens in proportion as we pos
seSs Christian character, education and
property. To this end we urge parents to
exercise rigid care in the control of their
children, the doing away with the one
room cabin, and the mortgage habit; we
urge the purchase of land, improved meth
DDS of farming, diversified crops, at
tention to stock raising, dairying, fruit
growing and more interst in learning the
trades, now too much neglected
'2. We urge that larger proportion of
our college educated men and women give
the benefit of their education, along in
dustrial lines, and that more educated
ministers and teachers settle in the coun-
try districts.
''S-As in most places the public schools
are in session only three or four months
during the year, we urge the people, by
every, means possible, to supplement this
time by at least three or four additional
months each year. that no sacrifice be
considered too great to keep the chill
dren in school and that only the best
teachers be employed.
Ave note with pleasure the organiza-
ton of other conferences and we advise
that the number be still more largely in
creased.
LAS we look back over the FIVE annual
session of this conference we are con-
vinced that marked Improvement has been
made among the masses, in getting rid of
one room cabin, in the purchase Of land,
in greater economy and in getting out of
debt, in the raising of more food sup
plies, in the more considerate treatment
of women, a greater desire for higher
education. higher standard of morals
and a widespread and intense purpose to
get into better conditions"

ward, a small hamlet twenty-five miles
from here, while two cOnstables were en-
deavoring to arrest a desperate crimi-
nal, named William Ettlinger. this after
noon, he resisted arrest and shot both
of the constables, one John L. Barnes,
being reported as falling dead in his
tracks, and the other. Frank Geisewhite.
being fatally injured and not likely to
survive until morning.
Ettlinger then barricaded his house and
dened arrest at the hands OF posse Of
lnfuriated citizens, who had gathered on
the scene, keeping them at bay with
dynamite and free exhibition of dou-
Die barreled shotgun. As they were una
bic to take Ettlinger, word was tele-
graphed to the sheriff here, and he, with
a large posse of well armed men, depart
Woodward, having first telegraphed to
not allow Ettlinger TO escape, and to
shoot him down If he made the attempt.
Details received from Woodward by tel
ephone tonight say that every man in
that part of the county has gathered
there, until the crowd numbers well on to
l,OO0 They seem all at sea how TO cap
ture the outlaw. They could burn the
house, but do not want 10 do so, on ac-
count of Barnes body being inside, and
also because of children in the house.
Yet, they may be compelled to resort
to this, as Ettlinger declares he will re-
sist arrest as long as he has life to move,
and will in the meantime kill, without
mercy, all who come within his range.
Hundreds of shots have been exchanged.
One more man, John Musser, was shot
in the neck and there have been num-
ber of close calls. Whenever he gets a
man in range, Ettlinger opens fire and
Immediately a dozen shots ring out from
the crowd.
1t is believed that Mrs. Ettlinger has
been shot and mortally wounded, If not
killed. She was assisting her husband
in resisting arrest by throwing dynamite
and burning fuses from thefwindow. Just
she struck a match a number of rifle
shots rang out and the woman was seen
to throw up her hands and fall backward.
That was the last time she appeared.
