cUBAN QUESTION.
Its Present Status and Pros
pective Action Of Congress
IntimatiOn is Made That Spain
Would Grant Home Rule.
The Spanish Government Is Now Anxious For
New Treaty With the United States.

Washington, Dec. 2.-President Cleve-
lands administration will continue in
the effort to secure home rule for Cuba.
regardless of the action OF congress on
the Cameron resolution. Constant ref
erence has been made To the Canadian
government in the the correspondence
between this government and that of
Spain, and the Dominion system has been
pointed to as model for government
of Cuba.
Objection has been made. with some
reason, ii is admitted, that a system
which would work admirably with her
majesty's subjects in Canada might
utterly fail If applhd TO the Cubans.
That Spain has intimated that. under
certain conditions. she would not be
averse to granting a reasonable measuI e
Of home rule TO the Cubans is beyond
question She. however insists that
nothing less than disastrous defeat in
battle will cause the insurgents to heed
such propositions. and 1t Is regarded In
Madrid as useless to attempt any OF the
reforms suggested until Weyler strikes
a decisive blow.
This government, however, does not
fully agree with that view of the case
and undoubtedly II is making some
progress in its contention for peace on a
basis alike reasonable and honorable to
the Cubans, as well as to Spain. One Of
the principal motives which has actuated
this government i'm the course II has
taken in this matter is the protection OF
the persons and property Of citizens of
the United States now engaged as to-
bacco and sugar planters in Cuba. AL
though the planters generally are said
to sympathize with the Cuban cause
information has reached this govern
ment that as a rule they entertain serious
doubts of the ability Of the native Gu
bans, IL wholly successful, to maintain
a stable and satisfactory government
What the planters most desire is annexa
tion to the United States, but as the ad
ministration, as plainly made evident
regards this as out of the question, tn,
planters next favor an autonomous gov
ernment under the executive supervision
OF Spain. Should Spain consent to al
low Cuba to iegislate as to her own in
ternal affairs, the United States, a.
stated by Mr.. Olney in his report to con
eress. would consent to become respon
sible to Spain for the faithful observanc
Of the conditions Of the treaty betwee,
the two countries. The idea Of this gov
ernment is that this agreement could b
made a part Of new treaty between tn
United States and Spain. the necessit
for which is admitted by both govern
| nIents. The Spanish authorities, IT ca
be stated, share the feeling strongly en-
tertained BY the United States. that tn
present treaty has long outlived its use
