President Faure Informed that the
yyuttpr is Serious.

PARIS, April 26.-M Sarrien, minister of
the interior in the retiring Bourgeois cabinet,
who had been summoned by President Faure
to form a ministry, has finally informed
President Faure that he finds himself unable
to form Cancellation cabinet. NJ Sarr EMS
plan was to form cabinet containing rep
resentatives of different political groups in
the hope of thus securing united support
for the government in the Chamber of Dep
uties He had already foreshadowed to
President Faure that he had slight hope of
effecting this object, but he reserved his
decllnation of the task until he had con-
suited with the political leaders in the Cham
ber. Last night was given up to these con-
situations with the result above indicated.
1t is believed President Faure will resum-
mon NJ Sarrlen to the place of the Elyssee

REFORMS WILL Be MODERATE
Spain Intends Only Slight Changes in Its
West Indian Administration.
USELESS TO LOOK FOR CUBAN AUTONOMY
No Government VIII Grant the Con-
cessions Suggested Nor Even
Limited Reform Unti1 the
Revolution is Ended.

MADRID Spain Saturday via Bayonne,
France), April 26.-(New York World Cable
gram-Special Telegram.)-It is useless to
expect that Spain will grant to Cuba volun-
tarily any such autonomy as Canada has
with legislature having power to pass COM
mercial, financial and other purely local
measures. A recent remark of Premier Can
ovas makes this certain. The Spaniards are
unanimous in considering that the maximum
of concessions possible at present are the
administrative reforms outlined in the bill
which passed the Cortes last year. and some
slight tariff reforms compatible with the de-
mand Of Spanish agrculturists, manufactur-
ers, ship owners and commercial classes,
position in the Cuban and Porto Rican
markets.
The Spaniards are unanimous also in de-
clarng that even the small measures of
political autonomy provided in the law OF
March ~, 1895, cannot be carried out until
the revolution is crushed. General Weyler
shares this opinion, and Premier Capovae is
generally credited with disposition to aban-
don the office rather than assent to political
and legislative autonomy in the colonies.
All the Cubans can expect from Spain is
slight Observation-Disclosures hedged
about by the omnipotent governor general,
by the imperial parliament and by the col
onial office, as was clearly defined in the so
called home rule bill of 1895.
All this has been signihed to President
Cleveland, 1t is asserted in official circles by
the Spanish foreign office.
