SPAIN SINGS SMALh
IN EFFECT ASKS THE UNITED
STATES TO ACT AS MEDI-
ATOR.
AN AGREEMENT COMPLETED.
GOOD OFFICES OF THIS GOVERN
MENT ACCEPTED WITH MANY
THANKS.
PRIDE OF THE DONs CONSERVED
By the Statement That Spain Was
Not Forced Into the Position
Now Assumed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The Post
tomorrow will say: TT has been
learned from an authoritative source
that Secretary Olney and Senior Dupuy
de LONE, the Spanish minister, have
practically terminated the negotiations
on the Cuban question which are to
be submitted to congress when it con-
venes on Jan. 5. The terms Of the
agreement are based on the recent Of
fetal communication from Premier Ca
novas, addressed to the secretary of
state. The premier states clearly the
terms which Spain will accord to the
insurgents and practically asks the
United States to propose these condi-
tions to her rebellious subjects.
In return for our good offices, Spain
assures this government that she sin.
cerely deplOreS the great commercial
loss which we have sustained on ac-
count Of the Cuban disturbance. She
assures us that she is even now con-
sidering reciprocity treaty which will
deal mainly with Cuban products and
which will be framed in such advan-
tageous terms toward this government
in the destruction of American prop
erty in Cuba will be most generously
compensated.
Premier Canovas says that Spain
cannot, of course, as a self-respecting
and respected nation, stand before the
world as having been coerced into
measures by the United States She
has freely granted all that she now
offers, and that in the face of a rebel
lion. But she accepts the good Of
fees Of the United States to act as
mediator and to guarantee to the in
surgents amnesty, and the enforce
ment of the new reform law which
she is about to proclaim In Cuba.
The form of government offered is,
the Spanish statesman declares, the
limit of independence which can be
granted to a province by any nation
without absolutely severing the bonds
of union with the mother country.
Autonomy, as enjoyed by the Cana
dianS can never be granted in Cuba.
What Spain is willing to grant the
insurgents, if they lay down their
arms, and what she asks the United
States to guarantee, is an act which
provides for a council of administra-
ton which shall control all matters
pertaining to the commerce of the In
dies and all estimates upon the general
taxation and expenditures Of the is
land as well as it's general home gov
ernment

THREE FRIENDS FATE.
No Official Information Received as
Yet at Washington

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-No infor-
nation has been received either at the
treasury department or the department
of justice respecting the suspected
filibuster, Three Friends, except the
announcement of her seizure. nor have
any special instructions been given to
the local officers as to the legal course
to be pursued. There Is no doubt that
the officials are not entirely satisfied
with the way the business Of prevent
ing filibustering expeditions from leav-
ing American ports has been conduct
ed and it is believed that Assistant
Secretary Wike, who is now in
Florida, will make it his business to in
vestigate the whole matter.
1t is known that the Spanish min
lister here has made repeated complaint
at the state department that some Of
the government officers in Florida have
money interests in some of the steam
ers engaged in violating the neutrality
laws by carrying expeditions to Cuba.
These complaints have been forwarded
to the chief custom officers in Florida
and while the reports admit the fact
of subordinates or members Of their
families holding interests in some Of
the we'll known f1libusters, 1t is claimed
that this fact has not and could not
have any influence upon the official
acts of the subordinate officials.
Up to this time these statements
have been allowed to pass as salts
factory answers to the charges. but the
officials here are greatly annoyed by
the frequent successful trips OF the
filibusters, and 1t Is not unlikely more
stringent measures to put stop to
them will be adopted.

LII HUNG'S WORK.
People of China Are to Be Gradually
AngIiciZed

WASHINGTON, Dec: 28.-According
to news received here from unofficial
sources, Lii Hung Chang's visit to Eng
land and the United States already has
born fruit in the decision Of the
Chinese government to gradually
Anglicize the Chinese people, at least
as far as their language is concerned.
The Peking government recently is
sued instructions to the various vice
roys and governors Of the provinces Of
the empire to establish schools for the
teaching of the English language and
Western sciences in all of the princi-
pal cities Of the country. According 10
the wording of one clause in the gen
eral Instructions, the reason for this,
is that China, in order to keep herself
on terms of equality, and in touch with
the great powers of Europe, must
educate the masses and encourage in
ventive genius and foreign learning
among her people together with that
love Of country and home, and that
devoted patriotism so consciously en-
grained in the hearts of those who
have studied such languages and
sciences" 4"

INTENDS TO FORECLOSE.
Vigorous Pacific Roads Policy
Favored by the President.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The presi-
dent has had several conferences Of
late with the attorney general, the sec
retary Of the interior, and the secre-
tary of the treasury, with view Of
speedy action for the adjustment of the
obligations of the Pacific railroads to
the government. 1t is said to be set
tied that steps will shortly be taken
for the foreclosure oG the govern
ment's mortgages on these roads un-
less congress shall make otheH pro-
visions for the settlement Of the quest
ion at its present session. With the
amount already matured, more than
100000 Of the principal of the sub
sidy bonds issued on behalf of the
Union Pacific line, and more than
aid of the Central Pacific road will
have fallen due and been made or
must be paid on or before the first Of
January next. Without any reference
to the APPLICATION Of the sinking fund
now in the treasury, this state Of
affairs will, in the opinion of the pres
ident. as stated in his annual message
create such a default on the part Of
these companies to the government as
will give it the right to at once in
stitute proceedings to foreclose it's
mortgage lien"
In addition to the above stated in
debtedness, maturing January l, next,
there will mature thereafter by Jan.
1, 1899, the remaining principal Of
such subsidy bonds which must also
be met by the governmnt These ag-
gregate $41, 100000 of which $4,000, 600
are on account of the Union Pacific

seized and placed under the guns Of the

indict her for additional infractions Of the
neutrality laws. The case against her for the
trip to Cuba, and on which she was released
on $4,000 bail, is in hearing in the United
States court today. Col Cockrell argued that
If there were any action against the owners

nature of a proceeding against them as pi-
rates and marauders. But" he said eff
we are to proceed against these people as
pirates because they have fitted out an
armed expedition we must go further and
proceed also against those Spaniards who
have fitted out the same kind of expeditions
in United States ports. We have no reason
to discriminate between those of Spain's sub
jects who were born in Cuba and those who
were born in Spain. They are all Spaniards. -

KEY WEST, Dec. 28.-The Havana

discredit Spain" as they put it. The
story of the Three Friends expedition,
as printed in New York, is used as the
text. La Lucha is especially bitter
and sarcastic in its comments, stating
that the s'mercenary, lying press is to
blame for half the war trouble The
attacks upon the suburbs around Ha-
