THEY'RE DISCUSSING IT.
Spain and the United States Talking Over
Cuban Matters.

The London Standards correspondent at
Madrid says: ''Despite the persistent official
denials both from Washington and Madrid 1t
is now an open secret that both governments
have freely discussed their attitude towards
each other in the Cuban affairs. Spain Is
aware that President Cleveland wishes to be
conciiatory, but that he cannot answer for
the control of American opinion II the
struggle in Cuba be prolonged to the injury
Of American commerce
Spain, ON the hand has informed President
Cleveland that she is willing to conciliate the
sympathes Of sensible Americans, but that
she cannot entertain a proposal for the in
dependence Of Cuba or even q suspension
OF hostilities to negotiate with the rebels. as
public opinion would never tolerate such a
humiliation. Spain has been silently prepar-
ing to execute Cuban home rule bill di-
rectly the colonial authorities regarded it
advisable to do so. No date has yet been
fixed for this, however.

HONE RULE FOR CUBA.
Spain to Make Concessions to the Autono-
lists of the Island.

The Spanish government within the next
four weeks will put into execution compre-
hensive system of home rule or autonomy
for the island of Cuba. There is good reason
to believe that the state department has re-
ceived from Madrid information to this eff
feet. In any event 1t Is beyond question that
this move IL assumed. 1t promises TO bring
so n sudden termination the irritation and
friction which has existed for many months
between the United States and Spain and to
replace this feeling with one OF friendly
and amicable nature.
The law which will be put into effect was
signed by the queen regent of Spain March
Ia, 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 address to the Spanish
cortcs, 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.
The law Is very elaborate In its provisions.
The elements of home rule is secured by the
establishment of two local bodies, drawn
largely, II not entirely, from Cuban resi-
provincial chamber of deputies, and the other
as the council of administration. The latter
has appellate Jurisdiction over the former.
Large powers are granted to the council OF
administration in the internal management
of public affairs, but the governor general
will continue as the supreme representative
Of Spain on the island and will have direct
charge OF military, naval and information
questions. The details of the reform project
were published at the time of their adoption
by the Spanish cortes In 1895.

A BENEFAC1OR OF HIS RACE
A GOOD MAN GONE.
Baron Hirsch, the Hebrew Philanthropist,
Dies in Vienna.

Baron Hirsch, the celebrated Hebrew cap
italist and philanthropist, suffered n stroke
apoplcxy Tuesday, from the effects Of which
he died.
The Baron Maurice de Hirsch de Gcreuth
was 90 years of age. He was born In
Bavaria, and his father, from whom he Oh
tanned the title, was a man OF considerable
wealth, ordinarily speaking, but this fortune
was not even spectral shadow to that pos
sessed by his son.
The Baron was well educated and when n
very young man gave evidence OF the won-
derful shrewdness which subsequently made
him monarch In the financial world. He
started In his business career as a dealer in
cattle In Bavaria. In this limited and con-
fined field he soon became prominent, and
speedily acquired n comfortable fortune Of
his own.
This sphere soon became too small for the
talents of the Baron de Hirsch. He retired
from the cattle business and Travelled through
Austria and the countries bordering upon
the Black Sea.
About this time his father died, and he be-
came associated with the great European
banking house OF BschofIsheim & Gold
smidt After this he devoted considerable
time TO the study OF possible railroads con-
Meeting Central Europe with the for East.
This study resulted In the construction and
operation OF the present vast system Of roads
now running through that country.
About II years ago the Baron retired from
the money-making field. At about this time
he married the daughter OF one OF his part
ners, Miss Bfschofsheim, who brought him a
dowry of 100,OOO,O0O francs or 10000, 900.
This fortune has been invested separately
from the Baron's wealth and with the income
the Baroness of Hirsch does perhaps more
good in charitable way than any other
woman in all Europe.

Atmospheric Irrigation.
A new form Of irrigation for the arid
west is described by Nebraska CORE
spondent of the New York Evening
Post. The hot winds that sweep across
the plains scorch the crops and dry I'D
the soil. A thorough study Of these
winds and their action on the soil and
crops has suggested the plan of atmos.
pheric irrigation. Water falls abundant.
~ in the winter and spring, and is to be,
stored up in numerous small lakes,
ponds and reservoirs during the wet sea-
son, so that the winds can be charged
with moisture. On every quarter section
farmers are advised to construct pond.
II the bottom soil is porous, weeds.
grass and waste material are to be spread
over it and the cattle turned loose to
wallow IN the shallow water, so as to
compact the soil like that of the ''buf-
fa1o walloWs" which hold water SO
we'll. Trees and bushes are to be planted
closely about these ponds to retain the
moisture. In making these ponds, towns
and counties or even che state cooperate.
This method of irrigation is advocat-
ed both by scientific experts and prac-
teal farmers. By supplying the hot
winds with all the moisture they can
hold, the rainfall will be increased also.
80 that the rainmakers Of the future will
be the farmers themselves. One cause of
the parching winds is the numerous
prairie fires cansed by the practice of
burning dead grass, weeds and corn
stalks. This must be discouraged by a
strong public sentiment. The prairie sod
formed BY. the buffalo and other wild
grasses IS almost impervions to water
and reflects heat. 1t must be broken ND
and alfalfa raised. Water falling on al
falfa planted plains will be retained in
natural reservoirs below the surface and
pc gradually thrown Off in summer to
feed the thirsty winds.
