CARDS That, However, ~ Out Of the
Question Hoar Opposes Action
Weyler Pollcy-spain Preparing.

WASHINGTON, Dec. "a Whatever
course congress may finally take with
respect to the Cameron resolution, the
instant efforts Of the present admins
tration, ut least, will continue to be
exerted In behalf Of an autonomous
government for the Cubans. During
the correspondence between this gov
eminent and spain the Canadian sys-
TEN has repeatedly been referred to
as model which Spain might do well
to follow in granting home rule to her
Cuban colonists The objection, how.
ever, has been made. and with some
reason, 1t is admitted, that system
which would work admirably with her
mojesty's subjects in Canada. might
utterly fail II applied to the Cubans.
That Spain has intimated that under
certain conditions She would not be
adverse to grant reasonable measure
OF home rule to the Cubans, is beyond
question. She, however, insists that
nothing less than q disastrous defeat
in battle will cause the insurgents TO
heed such PROPOSITIONS, and 1t Is re-
garded in Madrid as useless to attempt
any Of the reforms suggested until
Weyler strikes q decisive blow.
This government, however, does not
fully agree with that view of the case,
and undoubtedly 1t is making some
progress in its contention for peace on
a basis alike reasonable and honorable
to the Cubans, as well as Spain. One
Of the principal motives which has
actuated this government in the course
it has taken in this matter Is the pro-
lection Of the persons and prop
erty OF citizens of the United
States, now engaged as tobacco
and sugar planters in Cuba. AL
though the planters generally are
said to sympathize with the Cuban
cause, information has reached this
government that rs rule they enter
tain serious doubts OF the ability of
the native Cubans, il wholly success
