CUBAN HOME RULE.
spanish Government Now Ready to
Grant Autonomy, 1t IL Said.

spanish Government Now Ready to
Grant Autonomy, It Is Said.
WASHINGTON, April 20.-The Spanish
government within the next four
weeks will put into execution COM
prehensive system Of home rule or
autonomy for the island of Cuba.
There is good reason to believe that
the safe department has received from
Madrid information to this effect. In
any event, it is beyond question that
this important move is assured. This
promises to bring to sudden termina-
tion the irritation and friction which
has existed for many months between
the United States and Spain, and to
replace this feeling with one Of q
sfriendly and amicable nature. The law
which will be put into effect was signed
by the queen regent Of Spain March Is.
1895, and will be followed up by rules
and regulations developing the present
scheme Of reforms. By the time the
queen regent Of Spain makes her ad.
dress to the Spanish cortes, which
assemblies in one month, the law will
be promulgated throughout Cuba, and
the long expected policy of home rule
for Cuba will be realized.
Ell borate Provisions Of the Law.
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 powers are granted
Ito the council of administration in the
kinternal management Of public affairs,
Ebut the governor general will continue
Vas the supreme representative Of Spain
ION the island, and will have direct
charge of military and international
Questions.
The details of the reform project were
published at the time of their adoption
tby the Spanish cortes, in 1895.

FIXED IT WITH SPAIN.

Said the President Has Arranged m
Cuban Matter.
LONDON, April 20.-The Standard's
correspondent at Madrid says: Despite
the persistent official denials both from
Washington and Madrid it is now an
open secret that both governments have
freely discussed their attitude towards
each other in the Cuban affair. Spain
is aware that Presidents Cleveland
wishes to be conciliatory, but that he
cannot answer for the control of Amer.
ican opinion if the struggle in Cuba be
prolonged to the injury Of American
commerce. Spain on the other hand
has informed President Cleveland thRt

posal for the independence ofs Cuba 81
