CUBAN AUTONOMY.
ONLY A BAIT TO ENTRAP THE
POOR INSURGENTS.
But They Will Scorn Such a Thing and
Accept Nothing But Absolute
independence

New York, Feb. J.-The Herald to-
day says: Senior Palma, Cuban del
egate to the United States, in an in
terview, said the royal decree, caus>
a bait to entrap Cubans and a con,
fessiOn of the weakness of the Spanish
cause. He reiterated his emphatic
assertion that the Cubans would ac-
cept independence only. Rather than
allow Spain any voice in the govern
ment of Cuba, he said, the Cubans
would suffer death and the devasta-
ton of their island.
The reforms, which | understand
have been signed by the queen regent
of Spain, &" Mr.. Palma declared,
amount to nothing. They are practi-
cally the same that were voted before
the war broke out. If the Cubans did
not accept them and rose in arms,
can they be expected to accept them
now after so much blOodShed and
after so many have fallen for the alb
solute independence of the country,
the only solution possible to Cuban
problem, and the only one which the
CubanS themselves would accept?
AS for the effect of the reforms
the insurgents, l will say that our
army will be no party TO them. nor
will they give an inch of the country,
conquered by so much sacrifice of life,
property and money. If Spain were
confident of ultimate success do you
suppose the SO-called reforms would
he offered to us? They would never
even offer us bread
These expressions met the approval
of other members of the Junta. Most
of them were more bitter in denun-
citation of the proposed reforms imam

New York. Feb. "a special to the
Herald from San Jnan de Porto Rico
says:
Dissatisfaction with the reforms ne
Gently granted to the Porto Ricans
by Spain is steadily increasing. The
Autonomists refuse to accept these re-
forms. As telegraphed yesterday
they will decline to take any part IN
the municipal elections about to be
held in accordance with the mother
country's decree.
Porto Rican merchants are COM
planning of the present situation and
the outlook is regarded as gloomy.
The island of Porto Rico is natural
ly of extreme fertility and there are
always considerable expectations of
coffee, sugar. tobacco and various
products to Europe and the United
States. AS long as the island remains
tranquill-and there seems at present
no reason to apprehend the contra
ryan agricultural devastation such
as that prevailing in Cuba Is not pos
sible.
At the same time there can be no
doubt that the Cuban war is seriously
affecting local commerce. Throughout
this island. particularly in the neigh
borhood of Mayaguez, great center
of the coffee industry. there have
been several recent failures.
The Porto Rico coffee crop of 1885,
90 was abundant, Of admirable qual-
ity and fetched good prices. The
present crop is not expected to yield
more than oue-half the quantity and
value Of its predecessor.
