Contemplates Cuban Home-Rule
Bill-AnOther Alleged Insurgent
Defeat I'm Cuba.

LONDON, April 20.-The Standards cor
respondent at Madrid says: Despite the
persistent denials both from Washington
and Madrid, it is now open secret that
both governments have freely discussed
their attitudes toward each other in the
Cuban affair. Spain is aware that Presi-
dent Cleveland wishes to be conciliatory,
but that he cannot answer for the control
of American opinion if the struggle in Cuba
be prolonged to the injury of American
commerce. Spain, on the other hand, has
informed President Cleveland that she is
willing to conciliate the sympathies of SEN
sible Americans, but that she cannot en-
tertain a proposal for the independence OF
Cuba or even for a suspension of hostili-
ties to negotiate with the rebels, as public
opinion would never tolerate such humil-
iation. Spain has been silently preparing
to execute a Cuban incme-rule bill directly
the colonial authorities regard it advisable
TO do so. No date has yet been fixed for
this however"

BUIUwAYO, Matabeleland. April 19.--So
far as the situation is improved here over
that of yesterday, it is due to the departure
CT the enemy. which has been massed to the
north of the town for several days, and from
which an attack has been almost hourly ex-
pected. This movement, however, brings lit
tie comfort to those in Buluwayo. The ex-
cited manner in which the natives Quilted
their positions indicated a confident purpose
of mischief. There is no evidence that they
were alarmed Friday at the demonstration
of the patrol of forty-two men from Buiu-
wayo against their vanguard Although this
vanguard was driven back on the main body,
the patrol did not dare to place itself within
reach of the overwhelming numbers of the
main body.
The direction taken by this great body Of
hostile natives after quitting the position to
the north has not been learned. But it Is
feared that the purpose of the movement is
to try and effect a junction with the rebels
in the Matoppo hills, and thus sever COM
municaticn to the southwark. The road runs
through the Matoppo hills to the south Of
Buluwayo and is dssficult and dangerous for
fifty miles from here, at which distance the
road reaches the Mangwe Pass This angu-
lar and precipitous defile, II Is felt, must be
held. 1t is of such character that 1t can
well be made impregnable against the at
tacks Of native warriors. But for the same
reason, IL allowed to get into the hands OF
the natives, it would be extremely difficult
and perhaps impossible to dislodge them with
any force at present available, To leave this
pass to the enemy would effectually cut off
the intercourse of Buluwayo with the outside
world. To hold the pass and to patrol the road
between 1t and Buluwayo, measures which are
felt to be imperative for the safety of this
place, requires a large proportion of the
available force. which is less than thou
sand men in Buluwayo.
The threatened movement Of the enemy on
the line of communications perplexes the au-
therities with the problem of how far they
can further denude Buluwayo of its fighting
force to guard the road. The lack of GER
tainty as to the whereabouts and the imme-
diate destination Of the great mass Of ma
tives moving so near the town causes much
dread and anxiety.

Plan to Entrnp sraceo.

HAVANA, April 19.--The Spanish troops
have had an engagement with the numerous
forces of the insurgents which have been ad-
vancing westward to attempt the relief Of
Maceo, and the official reports show severe
reverse for the Cubans Lieutenant Colonel
Elota, with the battalion of Luzon. engaged
the insurgents near cienfuegos, in Santa
Clara province The sinsurgent band was a
numerous one and hot fighting ensued. The
reports show that the Spaniards took the in
surgents' position by brilliant bayonet
charge. The enemy left the field eighty
six killed and carried of more than two hun
dred wounded. The amount of the Spanish
loss is not stated I'm detail, but IL Is reported
that Capt. Lazo, a doctor, one lieutenant and
eight guerieras were wounded. Next news
from Pinar del Rio is awaited with interest
both by the Spanish authorities and the SYM
pathizers with the insurgents. In spite of the
numerous Instances in which they have been
disappointed the government expresses its
complete confidence that now their operations
against Maceo are to be crowned with sue
cess. The columns within or west of the
military line south from Mariel have been
largely reinforced and the military authori-
ties announce their intention to force Maceo
to fight or to come toward the line. The line
they consider impregnable. and they believe
that they will thus entrap Maceo. The in
surgent leader Juan Suarez and an aid-de-
camp Of Lacret are reported killed.

WASHINGTON. April 19.-Representative
Aldrich tonight gives out the following
statement:
'-rhe developments of the past week in the
Republican presidential contest have re-
suited in no material change in the relative
standing of the leading candidates, not
withstanding the prediction made by General
Grosvenor some days ago that during the
coming week McKinley's strength will grow
rapidly by the conventions in Kentucky, Ne
braska and New Jersey OF the twenty
votes confidently counted on by him in Ken
lucky, Governor Bradley has captured six
teen and the failure to instruct for McKin-
ley the fourteen delegates elected from New
Jersey was significant disappointment. My
last statment gave to Mr.. Reed Ill deie-
gates; Mckinley, 1853; all other candidates,
l66, with forty-six doubtful. In that table
credited Mr.. Reed with two uninstructed
delegates which on later Information i deem
1t fair to place in the doubtful column. With
this single exception my figures of last
week cannot be seriously disputed
1.-THE figures herewith presented have been
carefully compiled from reports received
from day to day and verified by replies re-
ceiyed from kilograms sent to various States
on yesterday. 1 have placed sixteen addl-
tional delegates in the doubtful column,
twelve Of which are from New Jersey. A
little calculation will disclose that of the 6Oi
delegates elected to date Mckinley has just
about 35.2 per cent If he continues at this
rate to the end he will have s25 votes out
of total of 91S when the convention as
sembles, or just about the number that the
friends Of Mr.. Reed and the other candi-
dates have conceded to him from the active
commencement of the campaign
The following table shows the strength to
date of Mckinley and Reed.
