IS NOW READY.
AND UNCLE SAM WILL BE ASKED
TO MEDIATE BETWEEN HER
AND THE CUBANS.
This is Said to Be the Outcome of an
Interview Between Secretary Olney
and Senior DeLome. Spanish Min
lister to the United States-How
the Spanish Feel.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-The Post to,
morrow will say:
1t has been learned from an authorl,
tative source hat Secretary Olney and
Senior Dupuy De LONE, the Spanish
minister, have practically terminated
the negotiations of the Cuban question
which are to be submitted to congress
when it v on January S.
The terms of the agreement are
based on the recent official communica-
tion from Premier Canovas, addressed
TO the secretary Of state.
The premier states clearly the terms
which Spain will accord to the insurg-
ents and practically asks the United
States to propose these conditions to
her rebellious subjects. In return for
good offices, Spain assures this
government she sincerely deplores the
great commercial loss which we have
sustained on account of the Cuban dis
turbance. She assures us she is even
nov considering a reciprocity treaty
which will deal mainly with Cuban
products and which will be framed in
such advantageous terms toward this
government that our losses, both in
commerce and in the destruction OF
American property in Cuba. will be
most generously compensated.
Premier Canovas says Spain cannot.
CT course, as a self-respecting and re-
spected nation. stand before the world
as having been coerced into measures
by the United States. She has freely
granted all she now offers, and that in
the face of a rebellion. But she accepts
the good office of the United States to
act as mediator and to guarantee to
the insurgents amnesty and the en-
forcement OF the new reform law
which she is about to proclaim in Cuba.
The form Of government offered Is.
the Spanish statesman declares, :he
limit of independence which can be
granted to a province by any nation
without absolutely severing the bonds
CT union with the mother country.
Autonomy. Is enjoyed by the CahaIi-
ans, can never be granted in Cuba.
What Spain is willing to grant the
insurgents, II they lay down their arms.
and what she asks the United States
to guarantee. is an act which provides
for a council Of administration, which
shall control all matters pertaining to
Inmates upon the general taxation and
expenditures OF the island, as we'll as

IN SPAIN.

New York, Dec. ga Madrid dis
patch to the World says:
An evidently inspired editorial in the
Epoca today foreshadowing the pos
sibility OF al understanding between
the Spanish government and Presiden,
Cleveland has caused a profound sen,
sation In Spain.
The Epoca, the organ of the conser
vative party now In power, says:
American Intervention in Cuba is per,
fectly logical on the grounds of ma,
terial interests and national senti>
ment. 1t might become an inevitable
necessity Of American home politics,
and it is eminently to the interest OF
our own country to avoid a conflict
while we can do SO with honor,
maintaining our dignity and sov.
ereignty."
The present active efforts Of Span
ish diplomacy are all aimed, it is as,
serted in diplomatic and political quar-,
tiers here, at convincing the American
state department that exigencies of
domestic politics make vt impossible
for Spain to enter into any formal
agreement or convention with the I'm
tied States for the settlement Of the Gil
ban question.

ernts to prevail. upou President Cleve,

The price of wheat has often been
used as a test of the value
and great stress has been laid unon the

price variations of this grain and those
! Of silver. The farm value of 100 hush
els of wheat is given on n gold basis
and a comparison of its course with
that of the commercial value of 81 125
grains of silver shows some points of
agreement and some points of contrast
There are divergepcies explained nv
exceptional croDs and others nv excen-
tional foreign demand. Moreover in
the wheat price is observable n greater
sensitiveness to financial conditions
which is doubtless itself an effect of
foreign demand. Attending only tn the
points of agreement. and assuming

sermons from the pulpit declaring that
the liberal party was composed of i'm,

protesting doctrines condemned by the
church, and threatening the faithful
with spiritual penalties if they voted
for the liberal candidates. The case is

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-In pursuance OF
an agreement among the directors OF
the Dime Savings bank, who had a sec
ret meeting this morning, a general
meeting of the directors was called for
this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Treasurer

National are also on the directory of
the Dime Savings bank.
Contrary to the fears of the officers,
there vas no unusua display of ex-
element at the Dime Savings bank
today. The bank took advantage OF
the 80 days notice privilege during the
height of the recent agitation in bank
ing circles to prevent a serious run that
was threatened. Officials of the Atlas
National vigorously denied that the
Atlas liquidation in any way influenced
the future course Of the Dime Savings
bank. At the latter institution there
was persistent silence as to the action
Of the directors.

Treasurer Reed. Il may say, however.
that the directors of the bank will meet

ments. The big proportional deposit
Of 500, 900 was a constant menace and
