SPAIN NEGOTIATING.
Quiet Work for Peace with the
United States.

London, Dec. 29.-The Daily News will
tomorrow publish dispatch from Paris
saying it is quite clear that Spain is
carrying on negotiations with the United
States although her pride compels her To
do SO in an underhand manner.
The dispatch adds that the proceeds OF
the popular loan recently issued by the
Spanish government is virtually exhausted.
that the buoyancy that followed the death
Of Maceo is evaporating, and that the gov
ernment is unable TO avoid seeking an
agreement with the United States
The morning times., 1896-12-30

While it Is not true that the Spanish
government will accept the mediation of
the United States in giving autonomy To
the Island of Cuba, 1t has been known
istry purpose giving the Cubans larger
measure OF home rule than they have
heretofore enjoyed
President Cleveland has been re
peatedly assured that these reforms will
be inauEurated when the province of Pinar
del Rio has been pacificd.
1t was in this province that Gen Macco
ana his followers have been located for
the past year and since Maceo's death
the work Of pacification has been CON
siderably expedited.
The time is now believed to he ripe when
the home rule reforms will be instituted
there and also in the provinces of Matanzas
and Havana, where the Insurgents have
never secured a foothold
1t has been frequently asserted by Spain
that the intended reforms would have
been l,ut in operation long ago but for
tile insurrcction, and that some of the
leaders among the insurgents started the
rebellion in order to prevent the reforms
These reforms embrace the election 0f
the Entire Cuban Congress, instead OF a
mixed congress of fifteen elected members
and fifteen appointed by the queen regent.
and also a complete control by Cuba OF
her tariff.
The Spanish ministry are now under

posed reforms, but thus far the only kuowl-

SiInplified the Problem.

The great difficulty has been and now
is in the United states Ito find a way not
objectionable to Spain in accomplish Ig
this part of the agreement. 1t is believed
the death of Maceo may have simplified
the problem.
II has been found an exceedingly delicate
undertaking to make any progress in the
matter without that publicity which would
offend the Spanish people and cause an
uprising in Spain itself and for this reason
the authorizes here preserve extraordinary
reticence about the affair. 1t is pointed out
that the matter is one that rests exclusively
inthe President, ana underno circumstances
pending its conclusion could Congress fairly
expect to learn anything about it.
According t. the best inform alton obtain
able here the Federal officials at Key
West and Jacksonville, in the proceedings
against the alleged filibuster The Three
Friends. are acting under general instruc-
tions issued by the Department of Justice
some time ago and not under any special
directions to fit the case of the vessel.
The matter is being managed by Frank
Clark, United States district attorney at
Jacksonville. The charge which formed the
basis for the seizure OF the Three Friends
is violation of section 52S3, Revised Stat
utes.
The officials of the Spanish legation say
that if there had been the slightest shred
of truth in the sensational stories pub
lished about the Three Friends firing upon
Spanish gunboats they would have been
promptly Informed of the facts by Acting
Capt. Gen. Ahumada in Havana, and it
would have been the imperative duty of
the Spanish legation to have dem banded

Absolutely no report of any such alleged

court at Jacksonville.

international Aspect.

At the State Department ii is declared
that there has been no substantial alterd
ton whatever in the international aspect OF
the Cuban question since President Cleve-
land wrote the following in his annual
message Of December Z:
1t was intimated by this government
10 the government OF Spain some months
ago that, if a satisfactory measure Of
home rule were rendered to the Cuban
insurgents, and would he accepted by them
upon guaranty OF its execution, the
United States would endeavor to find u
way not Objectionable to SPAN OF fur
nishing such guaranty. While no definite
response to this intimation has yet been
received from the Spanish government, 1t
is believed to be not altogether unwecome
while, as already suggested, no reason is
perceived why il should not be approved
by the insurgents
1t is explained that for domestic reasons
the present Spanish cabinet could not
take what would be to il suicidal step
OF putting down in black and white a
complete acceptance Of the suggested
mediation between sovereign power and
her crown colony.
There has been at, least a tacit under
standing between secretary OlEey ana
the Spanish premier, as disclosed by Presi-
dent Cleveland's double negotiation, and
the only matter left unsettled was the ac-
ceptance of the suggestion by the i'll
surgents.
In this connection it is said that Presi-
dent Cleveland, il speaking of the insurg-
ents, does not refer to the Junta in this
country, which would be satisfied with
no compromise, bat Co the actual combat
ants under Gomez and other leaders, at
that time including Maceo, who, accoId-
ing to the Information cf the State Depart
ment, were at that time not avcrse To
putting all emf 10 hOS:ilities il the reforms
promised by Spain were put into operation
with hthetacit guarantea of the United States
and they with their folio wers were grant

leaders could overhaul him. He repeated
this again a few moments later, amid
the deafening applause of the spectators.
He seemed to be riding in his best form
at this point.
Ashinger was the only old-timer left on
track after Schock retired, and his rid
ing stamps him as one OF the most formid-
able competitors for first place.
During the last half hour of the race an
unfortunate spill very nearly put an end
TO plucky little Hunters chances. Just
after making the turn at the north end of
the track, his wheel slipped from under
him, and he went into the side rail with
crash. He was quickly in his seat with
only ole lap lost, which he. shortly re-
gained hy beautiful spurt.
As the pistol shot rang ont warning the
riders that only five minutes remained be-
fore the expiration of the race the Ter
rible Swede" forged rapidly To the front,
only to be passed n moment later by
Chapple, tile Stocky EngliShman. who held
the lead for a few laps. Then Harry
Maddox, by a tremendous burst of speed,
forged ahead, amid the widest enthusiasni.
Wafer made a gallant effort to get
the lead and he was drawing ahead gradu-
ally when the report OF the pistol an
nounced the close OF the race. 1t was a
highly exciting finish, and the crowd teS-
ufied its appreciation by long continued

the interest of the spectators grew as
the flying racer turned each lap. With

Rex is the name of a remarkable
dog, which probably has the distinc-
ton of being the only dog in existence
that has ever sat on a dentists chair
and had his teeth filled, not with
plain, ordinary rubber or amalgam
filings, but unalloyed gold. Rex is a
fnll-blooded Gordon setter, and is the
pride and pet of his master, DR.. F. 5.
Van Nostrand, surgeon dentist, who
lives at Columbus avenue and Eighty
eighth street.
The dentist noticed sometime ago
that Rex had cavities in SIX of his
teeth, and decided to fill them in the
most scientific manner Rex, there
fore, was subjected to three days
preliminary training in the chair with
a towel, rolled up like rope, in his
mouth until his master became salts
fed with his dogs progress. The fill
ing began several days ago.
DR.. Van Nostrand was assisted in
the operation by a friend who held the
towel in the dogs mouth with one
hand and his paws in the other. Rex
stood the gouging burr like hero,
only wincing once or twice when the
instrument struck a nerve. Rex is
now bounding over the country hills
and dales and getting himself in trim
for the next dog show, where he has
in the past carried off a number of
prizes. New York Journal.

Bathing in the Schools.

The report of the committee on

against providing bathing facilities in

able appreciation of the needs of the

sal testimony of the leading santa.
rlans of the country, as we'll as of those
who have studied the various prob
lens that are involved in the conduct

cleanliness is one of the first things
that need to be taught there, and to
this end bathing facilities are now be-
ing supplied in modern schoolhouses
in this country, as they have been for
years in s3hOOlhouses abroad. The
legal objections raised by this commit
tee are largely visionary. Whatever
couduces to the health and welfare Of
the pupils in our public schools may
be legally supplied there. In a report
recently made by Mr.. Albert Shaw on
this subject, he calls attention to the
fact that the public schoolhouses in

Health From Light.

Some one in one of the lower
provinces of Austria has evolved the
idea that light is the great health Civ
ing and life-preserving agent, and that
all that is necessary to cure most dis
eases is to expose the body to It's
action. He has accordingly founded
an establishment where this remedy
can be applied without contrayening
the rules of society. The institution
is open during the sumner months.
There are two large enclosures,
divided by high wall, so as to sepa-
rate the sexes.
The method involves the exposure
of the absolutely naked body to sun
light and air, irrespective of atmos-
phoric vicissitudes. The patients are
enjoined to pass the greater part Of the
day in state of nudity, and little by
little they are expected to develop
such a measure of resistance as will
enable them to stand all changes of
temperature and humidity.
When the sun is high the patients
lie around on the dry turf or on
planks exposed to the full force of the
summer sun for periods varying from
fifteen minutes to an hour. One ef-
feet of the exposure is to provoke pro-
fuse perspiration, but in newcomers
more or less superficial Inflammation
of the skin not infrequently follows.
1t is not only the sunlight that is EN-
ployed, for the treatment involves eX-
posure to wind and rain as well-New
